Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I suspect that some time in the last 6 years Whiteknight has sorted it out.

Thanks everybody, sounds like they are well worth it.

Hi. I have done a couple of searches but no luck.
Do greasable shackles and pins make a noticable and worthwhile difference to ride quality and flex? I just want my leaves to be a little more compliant. Any advice much appreciated.

Does any one know if a transfere case from a 1986 2.4l blizzard is the same as a hilux transfere case. or does anyone know of a t-case that has a pto out and can be bolted to a hilux gearbox. thanks for your time.

So if I were to buy a v8 box would it work? or is the output still different?

I have a holden v6 and th700 auto (from the same car) in my lux. the auto needs a full rebuild (nz$3000-ish) so i thought why not get a transfer case that would originally bolt behind said gearbox so that i do not need a custom out put shaft in my auto box (to mate to the toyota transfer) so that i ...

Surfy,
84 and 85 surfs came with 2lt engines and rigid front axles. Hope that helps.

would you drive with no brakes?....

Does any one know if the ORI crossover steering arm will work on the average holden v6ed hilux with no cross member droping? Any help would be great (as ORI do not seem to want to answer my email)
I have searched but cant find an answer.
Cheers.

Yes this is another hilux cooling question. Does anyone know if a 2.4td bundera had the same radiator as a 2.4td hilux/surf? The reason I ask is that I have a holden 3.8 hilux which only just keeps its cool (and Im worried that during comp work/heavy mud blocked radiator type conditions that I will ...

Thanks every body. very helpful stuff. Drop Bear, any pics of your track bar, or should I just check out the track bar threads? Is yours just a single arm or a proper one? The welder is a small issue, but I can get cheap labour. I was more trying to avoid any certification issues (I havent checked ...

I have looked at all the "ifs rears" threads I can find and dont beleave this question has been asked or answered. I have a holden v6 in my lux, If I put standard ifs rears in my truck (with a 200mm shackle) am I going to have wraping issues. No I am not going to put a track/wrap bar in. (a wrapbar ...

All 1st gen 79-83 petrols had 4.88, some (or all) 84-88ish petrols also had 4.88. I dont know what 1st gen diesels had but all 2nd nd 3rd gen had 4.55 or 4.3 (4.55 in non turbo 2.4) Hope that helps.

If I were an owner or manager of one of these two procomp stores I would be very happy to be getting this feed back, sure I would be more happy to be getting good feedback but at least they now know and have a chance to improve. It sounds as if there follow up is in need of some attention. I follow ...

Worst case mine is 16 litres per 100kms. Can you reprogram the commo ecu or do you have to buy a "link" or similar computer. Hardly seems worth the trouble for $1.35 per 100kms.
Interesting info though.
Cheers.

Bear in mind that twin 10" will only do similar or less volume than a 16" of the same design. that said you can find 10" that do more volume than 12" of different design. you will also find that a dedicated fan (ie pusher rather than pusher/puller) will be more efficient. check out the Jayair ...

I have a single cab with 33" muds 4.88 diffs and the holden auto and I get between 6 (offroad/hilly windy nz roads and a heavy boot) and 7.5ish (highway) kms per litre. The really cool thing is it is a swb so has the small fuel tank, I have a range of 250, 350 kms, good thing its hard to get to far ...

Well I have to throw my 2c. Its got to be a lux, and with 10k you should be able to find a v6(holden) one? or maybe even a lexus one (not sure how common they are on your side of the ditch). But if you do get a repowered one, make sure you get the right gearbox behind it. ie not a w56 or a g52. hope ...

I have done a search and cant find anything (but im its there somewhere) how does every body mount winches on first generation hiluxs? They dont have the pair of bolts on the front that hold the bumper on on a 2nd or 3rd gen. basically it looks like all i can use is where the bolts go through for ...

Seeing as you are planing on the 6 cylinder engine swap, will there be much room on the back of your radiator? You could buy two 9 inch fans and mount them on the front. I got mine from Jayair. Spal brand. pusher only. 615 ish cfm each. beware there are fans that draw more watts and push less air ...

I have got an 8274 and I am going to mount it on my tray (single cab lux). question is, does any one know if you can mount them face down. (ie where the fairlead would be is facing down to the ground instead of foward). Im not sure if the winch would lube its self enough or if it might leak oil. The ...

Steve. that does help.
I dont have one, if they dont unlock in the situation described then it goes on the shopping list, otherwise an arb goes on the list (witch will take longer)
Thanks.

According to the blurb a LOKKA is permenantly locked. But, when cornering in a high traction situation (tarmac) then the outside wheel can over rotate (rather than the inside slowing as with open diff), ie the diff will unlock in a posative manner (the road drives the wheel rather than the drive ...

I cant tell you about which lokka you need, but on the rocky road site it gives you a table to choose from depending on spider gears etc. If you look at your plate that tells you model number frame numder you will see that there is a bit that says "trans/axle" and then has 2 codes stamped in. the ...

Aza. What engine do you have and do you have any troubles with axle wrap? Cheers.

Hey Guys. There is a company here in NZ that does some figlass parts. I found out about stuff for my first gen hilux so I dont know what is available for your rigs. Front gaurds are 180 each bonnet (without bracing) 200. these are in nz$ and dont include gst (but you would not pay nz gst anyway) I ...

Hey Russ I have mailed the pics to you, if you want I'll send some more once the truck is mobile again and I have taken more pics. At the moment the box and transfer are out of it as the adapter needs a bit of attention and I have to build new cross member/box and transfer mounts as they were not ...

ok that did not work. sorry i dont know how to do this.

sorry it took so long here is a pic.

I have a camera but the computer is so old it has no usb port so is a little hard to do right now, i will try and arrange something though. give me a couple of days.
