Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks I'll follow these up

need some tie rods for the old feroza dudes....

My mecho can source them but I'd like to see if I can do better on price. I'd hardly be able to do worse

Any leads

had the same prob with my mk after only 60000 kms and what it is is the tail shaft centre bearing. lay under neath and grab ur rear drive shaft and move it up and down. when the bearing shouldnt move much if at all. check that out causr that prob what it gonna be

good advice thanks ...

cool man post lots of pictures

What are your laws like there for that sort of stuff Will it be registered when you finish

cool I'm not as crazy as I look. Greybeard you're right on both counts, it doesn;t happen from a rolling start and ml's are still doing it.

mmmm. I'll post up what the driveline people say when I get there. It doesn't bother me particularly either but if there's repairs to be done I will claim them ...

cool thanks

you're a helpful guy appreciate it

Had a slight shudder on take off in my triton. Has been there since I got it 2 weeks ago but I figured it might be a clutch now I wasn't used to :? Its not severe, just feels like a tiny bit of axle tramp. I'm used to the clutch so that ain't it. Only in first and reverse on take off too..... not a ...

how'd you trim them???

I'd still have 30mm to go up maybe to get as far as you have including shaving. I would like to keep the front a bit lower for better handling though..............

yeah offset... good point :)

New rims in time then.... these'll do for now :cool: I lifted it a tiny bit with the torsion bars today. Never done it before so taking it slowly :lol: Don't know exactly how much it went up but distance from upper bumpstop is about 40% and to lower bumpstop 60% if you ...

they fit on :) not a heap of clearance to the caliper though.

they scrub a touch on full lock hard cornering though which is weird being almost identical size. A 265/70 r16 should be about 10.4 inch wide and the 31's are a 10.5. I guess they're just numbers on the side though real measurements are ...

not selling if they fit dude i'll post up if they fit or not after next weekend

haha cool postage might hurt though thanks again

ah thanks thats good news about the stud pattern then :) Offset won't be a issue you're right there too :cool:

As for going to a 15 from a 16 inch rim I know that and have asked this question before. The mitsubishi experts assured me 15's go on without an issue there and this actually came from ...

I've bought a 05 triton glxr and have some xterrains to go onto it. They're on hilux/ 4runner sunraysias at the moment that were fitted to my old 87 ifs 4runner before it retired.

Will the rims fit my new triton? Or should I go shopping for some new ones? Won't have the triton for a week so trial ...

morons :roll:

I had 2 different types on a sierra. One big brand name, one homemade pair. Both did the same, one cost heaps :roll: If you want them make them or get a mate to help make them.... then you lose nothing when you chuck it out :lol:

The ones like superior engineering are a bit ...

thanks triton 2.8 :) Really about the kind of driving you do though I reckon. I do less than 10000km a year and thats made up of punting around the burbs with the occasional beach trip. I never do long miles or remote trips or tow anything heavy so would never get the best out of a diesel.

I value ...

very much thanks Gee Quiet in this section (Sunday though I guess)

I'm going looking for an 05 triton dual cab in the next week or so :) Was going to get a club cab but they only come in pov pack trim and the missus doesn't care for manual windows :lol: Can get an 05 glx-r for 25-28k which is a lot of ute for the money and still has 2 or 3 years warranty on it ...

had a similar problem when I broke the remote for the central in my old feroza. I was told that I could program an aftermarket one if I had an original for it to learn from..... very useful :roll: Never did fix it.

An aftermarket remote console could easily be wired into your existing set up though ...

either one. Get a 4 door I reckon because loading and unloading wet sandy furkids through a 2 door might wear thin after a while. Vitara is the only 4 door option there

maybe the hilux ones are standard in those models I dunno :) Hence the question. Thanks for that. Its hard to find info on this stuff.

They aren't meant to be comfy :!: Definately not for long trips :!: Just for when I really need that extra seat to get a couple of mates to soccer or volleyball ...

Shopping with a budget of 30k for a late model jap ute and have decided to get an extra cab/ club cab. Only need a 2 seater ute except for the very odd occasion where an extra seat would be real handy for a local trip. Really wanted a decent tray so dual cabs aren't ideal.

Tritons and hiluxes come ...

i bought my 120ah fullriver for $240 from springers down the road.... thought it was a good price but I didn't realise how good

Good choice of battery though mines been great

nice c & p

I was going to buy a used gu coil cab but if this new Jeep is any good I might buy new Always wary of a VW diesel based on the old ones though

sounds fair thanks Franco. I assume that would put it on par with any mid size wagon which is good

anyone have info on the internal dimensions on the 4 door, or the specs on the diesel????

Seriously considering purchasing one mid this year but trying to find out how big the rear cargo space is and whether the diesel is worth the 4k premium.

I'm considering it alongside a new navara/ triton ...

this all helps thanks I've been through auctions before but they were dealer ones where my brothers mate could buy for me. That was fine for commodores and falcons but never really saw any 4bys.

I think I'll head to the Govt. auctions for a look this weekend

maybe finance 5 or 10k depending. I could get cash if need be though

Finance would be a personal loan if I got any... not through a yard

I've been looking for used vehicles around the 20 - 25k mark and places like cousins www.cousins.com.au/ and east coast commercials www.eastcoastcommercials.com.au/ have diesel GU patrol coil cabs in that price range.... that's the vehicle I really want

Anyone got advice or experience good or bad ...

I just bought the bits and made one. Big marine battery box etc. Installed a couple of 12v hard wired power points into the box so accessories plug straight in. Installed a fridge plug for the waeco too. Also put in a battery monitor. Used nice big guage wire for it all and circuit breakers on all ...
