Outer Limits 4x4 Board

its only ever happened over 60ks, it doesn't stop till i'm standing still. sometimes when i go over bumps it feels like it might be about to start, but i'm not sure if thats just the steering dampner.

Sounds like my wobbles. Go ahead, try replacing the panhard bush. it's a cheap change. I wasted ...

Not familiar with the coily Sierras but i'd imagine they'd be rather similar to the Jimnys in terms of suspension set up.

Have a Jim and the main cause of the Jimny death wobble is a rooted front panhard bush. I couldn't even see mine were cracked until i swapped them out.

No more wobblies after ...

If you're referring to the stock 205/70/15s, i reckon they're closer to 26" than 28".

235/75/15s are ~ 29" and are a good size for them without messing up the gearing too much.

Tons of jimny-specific info to be had there.

Thanks Rob.

They'll be on some Enkei 15x7s (unsure of offset atm). Will try it soon.
The bumpers were cut off after a small prang. Cheaper to cut it off then bother with repairs.

Sorry to dig up an older thread, but am interested to know what kind of guard cutting/bashing is involved to fit 235/75/15s or 30x9.5s on just a 2" suspension lift? It's a '05 vvt jimny with the *dumb* front bumper already cut-off (the plastic/foglamp bit) halfway.

Not keen on doing a bodylift.

And also what about the bumper bars

Don't know about the front, but the rear bumpers mount differently between the narrowtrack and wt.

Found it out the hard way myself...





nothing a nice big hammer didn't solve though.

Difference between superchargers and turbochargers on a car engine-

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question122.htm

We call them Feroza,FerozaII(widetrack) and the Rocky is a..umm... Rocky.

The U.K calls the feroza a sportrak and the rocky, a fourtrak.

The U.S calls a feroza a rocky.

There, hope that puts any confusion to rest.

I went with the non-adjustable KYBs when replacing the 10-yr old factory shocks ...

That's just plain wrong....

So has he slapped on the 20" rims and low-profile tires?

looks darn tough...

any info on the specs?

That's the ex-rally Feroza with twin shocks and all the fruit right...

my question is, how does it stay legal with a bloody air filter coming out where the left headlight used to live?

Or is that set-up a show special ? Looks friggin silly imho.

Thanks for all the input!

So it looks like doing the suspension is the best way to go for me...except for the $$$ side of things! This option will hurt the hip pocket bad...

Heath have you done anything to your sister-in-laws Fez yet? Didn't she want you to do it up for her? If you have done ...

Yeah... Surfs run 6-studs...

I guess you're up for some 'new' rims then...

just keeps on getting better doesn't it? new rims,tyres,lift...

^ ^


OOh...31s would be wicked. Will they be on 15x7s or on the stock rims? It'd stick out of the guards a fair bit eh...

Hmmm....

i'm gonna pay close attention to this..

would the blocks and longer bolts needed for the narrowtrack be exactly the same for a widetrack? If so, i might need your help sourcing them at a good price for me Heidi...

Ben

mmmm... i must have seen it wrong then!

will get on the freeway later and check again...

Hahahaha

Either that or the driver loves his mountain biking.

You can try going up to 235/75/15.

How many RPMs are you sitting on at 100 km/h?

My feroza sat at ~3100 RPM at 100km/h on the stock 225/70/15s, but that's with an extractor and exhaust job. If your tires are still good, maybe that's an option for you instead.

Mmm, since this is a Perth-dominated thread, pardon me if i go a bit off-topic cos i didn't want to start a new one..

Any of you fellas had your clutch replaced recently? I'm not after a heavy-duty one, just a normal replacement clutch.

Just wondering if anyone's had good or bad experiences ...

Hey fellas,

I'm Zul, from Singapore, but will be in Perth the next coupla years.

I have a '96 SXII which i picked up stock ( with original Daihatsu/Panasonic tape deck!) a few months back. My first love is mountain biking but after being to the bike trails around Perth, i realise they're ...
