Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i run a laptop behind the driver seat with a 10" touch screen mounted on the dash using ozi explorer and a garmin gps. i use the aust government maps and also hema maps. it works awesome and i also have a wireless keyboard and mouse stashed in the cab so if i need to type a bit it makes it heaps ...

if the oring is leaking they can get diff oil in the air line. if there is enough oil in the line the locker wont dis engage.

try loosening the fitting where the air line connects to the diff and see if it will release the air.

can't see why not, the 1hdft is based on the engine that it's replacing. sounds like a good thing..

if it is post 92 the cross member is already moved for you.

not 100% on that but pretty sure.

and modify both drive shafts

also if it's a pre 92 mod(i think??) you will prob have to move the chassis cross member (tube one behind the box) back a bit and move the mount.

i think the h15x has a better bearing set up in the tranfer with tapered bearings instead of rollers with brass thrust washers.

i also recommend removing any disk brakes for drums, converting efi to carbies and removing coils for leaf springs.

i'm no mechanic but i'd say if it's on the car it has to work

i've had this on my 1hz+t from overfilling with oil by 1-2 litres.

in camping mode...

and my my 79

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: From patrol forum: __________________ Just got quoted $540 per tyre for BFG AT 285/75/R16 !!!!!!!!! What the F#%$ ??? Also the mud terrains in the 285/75/R16 they want $570 per corner!__________________ :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock ...

33x 12.5's are a 15" tyre you need to get 305/70x16. they will fit

if you can stretch your budget a few grand i'd get a 40th anniversery with the 1hdft........ nice car, Awesome resale.

1hdfte are 100 series, 1hdt and 1hdft are 80 series. i would not recomend 1hz +turbo, i've got a 1hz+t and a 1hdfte and there is no comparison. the 1hdfte shits on the 1hz+t in every way.

my hdj79 is fly by wire and you cant even tell. it has a much better feel than my ba falcon which also has fly by wire.

softer springs=more bodyroll

like most things you will have to compromise, softer springs + taller ride hight will give you lots more flex but more bodyroll and less stable on side slopes.

not that much without pump mods.

yeah but you'll prob increase bodyroll... maybe disconnectable swaybar..

lighten your stock leaf packs and get longer mains.
be carefull where you ad the length tho

i have never had a problem with anyone from arb!! i like to buy quality stuff so i expect to pay for it. i don't think they're that expensive anyway. i've called them 5 mins before closing and asked them to leave parts out for me and they've helped me out. i've never got them to install anything ...

you can't get a GOOD hdj79 for $25k!

My major issue with them is the difference between front and rear track width (its too much in my opinion): 1515mm front 1420mm rear or 1555mm front 1460mm rear either way 95mm difference!!! Pulled straight from the horses mouth (to say): http://www.toyota.com.au/TWR/content/static/45810.pdf Yes it ...

Jim, 50mm x 4mm will be fine. Recomend that you add an adjustment on the inside mounting arm (weld bush to a bolt head and thread into the swing arm). As over time you may need adjustment. Also mount the coils over the axle stubs, the air springs may need to be closer to the pivot point to give you ...

cheers guys i am looking at this set up in the rear of a ute chopped 60 series with a lexus v8. what would be the better setup for the front 5 link or standard 3 link like GQ or 80 series? a triangulated 4 link set up is triangulted to negate the need for a panhard thus allowing more movement, a 4 ...

i would't be touring in aus with someone who runs a china locker! imagine it failed on the canning or something! nice $300 saving that just ruined your trip. seriously.... i cant understand why people are so desperate to save a few hundred bucks on a product that is obviously inferior when they ...

Maybe its time to ask how many people have fitted or have had someone fit ARB lockers and then had the O rings leak. Nearly everyone I speak to has had them leak from the O ring at one time or another, how many people carry a set of o rings in their repair kits when they head for the tracks? I do ...
