Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Don't worry, you will figure it out one day.

Mudtoy, It is nice to see that you haven't changed. All I have said about you is that the only time I have replied to you is when you got stuck into me or someone else. You have admitted this in your reply, so how of my views misinformed. My view of you has nothing to do with your previous partner ...

Strange Rover. You really talk shit. Find the posts where I have thrown mud at 4WD TV. The last post only highlighted some facts about the show. Are you saying that what I posted was wrong. Did I say that the show was no good. Yes, the adverts pay for the show. The only times I have commented on ...

Strange Rover, you wonder why I will not give my name, just read the posts. After only critising 4WD TV twice in 116 posts, I get this from Ruff "Almost every reply you have made on this site has in some way had a dig at 4wd TV or Simon from 4wd TV. I dont know what your problem with them is and i ...

Strange Rover, do not let facts get in the way of a good story. I have 3 postings critical of 4WD TV. 2 in this thread and one in another. I posted 3 times on pricing of their DVDs and twice I have been critical of Mudtoy. Therefore if you combine them all together it is only 8, of which only 3 ...

Strange Rover, I think you need to count. What you are saying is that there are 30 posts from me getting stick into 4WD TV. Please provide dates for these 30 posts. As I have stated previously, there would be lucky to be 10 posts that have any sort of negative comment on 4WD TV. I actually liked the ...

Patrolman, the M&M engineering section was a bit more than just asking him where he worked. The difference between the jeep jambo in Aus and NZ is that the Aus one is put on by a club and anyone can turn up. The NZ one was invitation only from the Jeep Company. I do not think that the Aus one went ...

I decided to watch tonights show to see if had changed much. I think the adverts are getting worse. Before you claim that I am just making false claims, here are the facts, give or take a few seconds. The show went for 32 minutes, of which only 6 minutes 40 seconds was non-comercial content. These ...

Ruff, if you want to apply censorship, go right ahead. I think you have a very selective memory. I have by the counter 118 posts on this site, less than 10 would contain any critism of 4WD TV. Now how many posts do you reckon that Simon has done getting stuck into someone. But as I said to patrolman ...

I thought it was 13 lb.

Petrol motors need to run hotter to change the fuel to vapor. You should set up a gas motor to run cooler as it is already vapor. You should run a colder thermostat. LPG will technically give you more power if it is set up properly and if the petrol companies do not water it down too much with ...

Patrolman, we can't have anyone that might not love 4WD TV on this site can we.

On a Rangie, I run a Bosch 90 amp. Looked up the part number and it was supposedly for a VK commodore

Gary, the discussions have been done to death time and time again. If you are really interested in finding out, look at some of the previous threads rather than attempting to start the debate all over again.

If you use acrylic paint, the mix is 40% paint to 60% thinners. It is the same ratio as you should be using for the primer. It is probably better to get the paint from a paint specialist than a auto accessories store. Make sure that your compressor can supply enough air for the spray gun and you ...

Can't remember the size, but you can undo it with a 1/2 inch drive. A rattle gun works well, but if you do not have one, you will have to get something to stop the flange turning when you are attempting to undo it. It has a nylock nut but it should be tensioned. Basically the torque setting is FT ...

If you have a P76 intake manifold, it is stamped on the top front left hand side (looking at the motor from the front. It is the same firing order as a standard range rover motor.

It turns the normal way. You need to make a bar that goes in the bolt holes for the tail shaft to hold the flange steady. Then eat more wheatbix.

The ford radiators tend to be alloy with plastic tanks. They are not the most durable if you are going to use them off road.

Know someone that used the screws on 38 boggers. They seemed to work OK as a cheap alternative. He has since gone to secondair beadlocks.

I was going down a steep drop when I got hung up on a rock. Thought it was the diff. Got out to have a look and it was actually on the track rod. The whole weight may not have been on it, but a large portion was. With it hanging down you may lose ground clearance, but I do not think you will bend it ...

As stated by Bundyrum, be careful that you do not turn your 9,000lb winch into a 11,000lb winch and your cable brakes. You should check the gearing in your current winch to that of new Warn winches with the 6hp motor to determine what it might be transformed into. There are virtually no bull bars ...

Just use a Maxidrive track rod. You would have to do something really serious to bend it. I have had the whole weight of the vehicle on the track rod and it only put a very slight bend in it.

In regard to the mirror, if you are looking for one pre-1985, there was virtually no standard. I think they put them on in Australia. You can look at 10 rangies and they will all have different mirrors. Also the drivers doors are different on the 4 doors depending on what model. I know that an 1985 ...

The reason for fires in LPG cars is not usually the LPG, but the petrol system. People run on gas most the time. The petrol system dries out and deteriates. They decide to switch to petrol and fuel goes everywhere and then BANG.

You can and do use holden lifters in 4.4's, do not know about stock rangie motors.

toughnut, everything with a winch tends to be maximum, not safe working loads. The winch's pulling power is generally its stall point. When they say a cable is rated at 10,000 pound, that is minimum breaking strain of a new cable in perfect condition. If that same cable was rated for safe working ...

Pat, You would be surprised how stock some of the competition Rangies are. One of the top vehicles like Mike Smith has increased the power from his motor considerably, but in regard to components, it is still basically stock. He runs a fairly standard Rangie gearbox, transfer case, and tail shafts ...

Colin, Some interesting comments. From your comments about the cable I assume that you get them from a certain person in your local area. I do not believe that the XP is that much more expensive than the 9000 and it is actually cheaper than the other 9500's it replaces. Must admit that the size of ...

If Rangies are so fragile, why is virtually every major competition vehicle one. I drive my rangie reasonably hard and take it into the harder areas. The only thing in the drive train that I have every broken in the drive train has been one axle and one diff. The diff went due to excessive wheel ...
