Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Geez...... certainly not a bargain at that price. I tend to disagree and think it is priced well compared with other rubicons, http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/results.aspx?vertical=Car&eapi=2&distance=25&silo=Stock&N=1216%201246%201247+1252%201282%204294965086%204294965085+4294875359&Range ...

My wife has found this JK Rubicon and wants to buy it, I have been and checked it out and there are a couple of things that don't sit right with me. The Jeep was originally purchased from Northstar in Brisbane and lived on the northside at Nundah (sp?) if anyone use to own it, or knows anything ...

I used the standard alternator on mine. I dont have ac and removed the fan drive pump so the belt only runs the alternator and powersteer pump which is standard also. The power steer lines from a soarer are joined half way down to the rack, you can split the line here and screw it straight into the ...

did you get the email I sent you? what did you think?

no it doesnt. I slotted it over the top and welded around it.

whats your email, ill send you some pics to post.

Just welding the air ram brackets on tonight and it will be finished. This one is a complete bolt on setup with an air ram to activate. Keep an eye for it in the for sale section. use the slide dog of a 60s landcruiser and a maxi-drive range rover diff lock actuator. the 2 will bolt together on a ...

i personally would lean toward the pajero then the prado, personal perference.


Have you looked at a Grand Vitara V6?

I bought mine off Col http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/solid-make-2-post-clear-floor-4-5t-car-hoist-5-year-w-/160612686636?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2565431b2c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; hes in brisbane, and the installation price was $500 so total was 3300ish can't fault ...

yes they will, the reason they state that is the fact that 86 on trucks in the USA are all IFS.

your misses is right, you jam 18inch travel shocks into a standard 4x4. When they bottom out you will have around 6 inches of lift.

BA also has fly by wire-no throttle cable, maybe it's possible to swap an earlier model throttle body to it. no it's not. I would also check the 900 they have quoted is complete, the control module alone is worth $300, the cat 125 and the alternator $165. that is only 3 basic components of the ...

mine are 1480, hope this helps

i know a guy selling a tube replacement bar with twin tyre carriers for 35's and a winch mount.

a stat write off is deemed to be too structurally damaged to ever be successfully repaired. therefore they are legally not able to be repaired, and are considered too structurally damaged to be used to repair another vehicle also. more misleading information. a stat write off has....... been ...

you can use the chassis and the cab, you cannot use the 2 together. Both will require a surrogate Vin, the POLICE will remove the id tag from the 100 series, not you, and fit a new one. A stat CANNOT be re-rego'd as per the information above. they are confused with a repairable. can i ask why you ...

depending what you want to do with the truck. I have the toyota kit, although not cheap i think it is worth every cent.

why 5.29's? what is the rest of the driveline?

we have a 2009 outlander that had factory 18's on it, i bought a set of the factory 15's of ebay and fitted them with 30x9.5 for a beach trip. there was a condsiderable loss of power but no rubbing. We now have equal to 31's on the 18's, they fill the guards completely but still dont rub, i believe ...

96 on camaro's have a 3.8L engine, they make 200hp from factory but were crap in a camaro due to the lack of torque and the weight of the car. You would be way better of $$$ wise to get a commodore v6

i have a set that i bought for a hilux, i think the shaft size and valving would be wrong for the 80 as they are alot heavier than the hilux.

6.5 Went in, 30K
Diffs, 5K
Rebuild of the 6.5, 5.8K

stuff like this always has me wondering when you need to pull the pin, or is it a case of "well im 30 into it, may aswell throw another 5 at it" ???

Out of interest what are they worth in Australia or are you getting them from the US?

there is no front diff or CV shafts so there is no drama there, the springs are 380pound which were originally for a cast 350 and T400 set up, im running a 1uz auto which is about 100kg lighter. As for susupension travel i have Uni ball upper and lower joints with 12in coil overs, the limit straps ...

hi, it is a manufactured kit.

The more i think about it, all i really wont to know is what you think about the angle of the arms, to me they look to steep? should the tie rod arm running parallel with the control arms, does it effect bump steer?

my main aim is to get both control arms more horizontal. i thought by making the coilover hoop taller it would have lowered the ride height and leveled the arms but this hasnt happened.

I have fitted new suspension to the front of my hiluxs and had ( turboshop.com.au ) fit the coil over mounts and bump stops, the towers were lengthed by approximately 2 inch to the old setup to bring the truck height down have less compression and more extentsion in the suspension travel.... but it ...

any last minute updates for the weekend?

in the build up threads there seems to be a lean toward class 8 racing showing people want to go fast. Would it be possible to run a buggy under a cams class and over time adapt this to a KOH style race tacted onto another cams event like next weekends texas 200? you may find guys racing under a ...
