Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Also if it helps I am running 31 inch tires atm. Not sure what they really measure to as they are getting pretty low on tread.

If you are running 31's your speedo will be out anyway, and with that size tyre you're pushing the poor thing

I have a 1lL ute that has 215's, purrs along at 100 no ...

Hey corrupt, did you weld any of that or just use rivets? I need to do a similar fix on mine & not sure which way to go yet. Do you have any pics of the underside where you attached the sheet metal to the inside of sill/body?

WHU??? I can't understand any of that!

I found this stuff good for filling in holes in the bodywork, but wouldn't rely on it for any structural strength. And definitely NOT for roof racks!

Interesting grave dig... Nice Vit!

Since my hard top sierra is registered as a 'panel van', does this mean blacking out the rear windows is completely legal?

If i ever get it back on the road I think I'll do this to mine! Looks

I have a carry tank sitting in the garden doing nothing if you want it. PM if interested!

As for lifting the original tank, you can modify the mounts & move it up some more. Mine got to about an inch lift - but the mount hole that you can see in the pic is in the way of the rear tube now. Not sure ...

A Carry tank requires relocation of mounts, plus you have to re-route your exhaust since this tank is wider. I had considered the carry option, and a custom built option for my body lift, but have stuck to my original & have had the mounts redone. I think you can buy long range tanks that fit ...

have sent you a PM DS

My soft top does not have the corner rubber bits, or any rubber along the top of the door frames. The front of the roof slides into the plastic strip, same as foolsp33d's and I have one snap stud at each end.
When I bought the Zook, about 5 years ago, the roof was brand new. To this day I have ...

glad to finally be a help and not a hinder to someone!:D woohoo! :D

LOL, up goes your forum cred :D

Yeah I think I'll be able to come up with something for the corners since I use a lot of EVA & foam bits for work... Plus I'll be Stikaflexing the bejebus out of it when it all goes back together!

I noticed in your last pic there is no padding at all on the side roof bit?! Or did you just take it off for photo purposes? I've seen a soft top with foam tubing but assumed it was just to cover the roll bar that was inside it.

Thanks again, you've been a great help

Thanks heaps foolsp33d! Yes, you have helped me a lot :)

I have the hoop & 2 black rail things that screw onto the B- Pillar, plus a handful of studs (tho I'll probably need more) So yeah, as you say I think I just need that front bit and weather strip stuff to stop the rubbing. Is there any corner ...

Just wondering if anyone can help me out regarding the bits of roof rubber/trim that goes around the inside a soft top sierra?

The 'soft top' we bought never actually had a canvas top on it as it came with a resin top (which we sold) and the bits of rubber that sealed the canopy on are pretty much ...

Cat? What cat? LOL

Nah, I was still considering putting the hurricanes on the white zook & putting something else like *maybe* like Calmini on the HT... but who knows, depends on price. Have to replace the whole system anyway ... just looking for ideas. Don't want noise, just a nice note like what ...

$70US to get them over here isn't too bad considering the x-rate is better these days... I could imagine the AU shop prices wanting a lot more than getting them shipped from US yourself. Still either way, maybe not worth the effort

how did you go with freight cost, and do you know if they will fit on the 1.6 carby motor

Calmini USA forwarded me their AUST distributor contacts:

I had a quick look at the sites (not that I hadn't ...

Bible those links/this topic

yeah, I was advised about using a flex joint ages ago when I first got my extractors for that very same reason... but somehow I never ended up with one, thus breaking it at the weld within 3 months i think it was. I was a bit cheezed off I had to go back & get the darn thing fixed & pay more money ...

Project sounds cool just cruizin' let me know what gauge/thickness sheet you end up using

Something like this?

My old hurricane extractors were welded straight on, they broke once going over a razorback dune but then I had them welded up again no probs. Granted I'll be doing more flexy offroading once ...

Hmmm... a very very small fraction of a yard? LMAO

Seriously though... what are you fixing, welding, matching?

I have the whole rear section of my zook to custom 're'build soon (well, a mate is doing the fab work come March) and I think the thickness of the sheet metal we'll be using will be ...

A smidgen under a millimeter?!! I'm still guessing here...

LOL... Come on!! its a little thicker than foil, just
I think its around .8mm on last guess?

just remember, once it gets covered in mud and dirt you can see the chrome =) lol save some $$$ and get the steel pipe...

eh!... can or can't see the 'chrome'? Whoever gets to see extractors anyway! I was more impressed by the design over the looks :D I think this is a complete replacement for ...

Hope the link works , the header is up on the website and available now.

Ohhh... why did you have to show me this now I want some!! LOL They look awesome + all the gear that goes with it is a much needed bonus. The bolt up bottom flange is something ...

Hmm, probably cost a fortune over here for the Calmini stainless if they ever get released in Oz. In fact I didn't even know they made headers!

Well, in my case I think the basic gain of having any type of extractor & a free flowing exhaust to match will serve better than the inevitably cracked ...

Good to know Sarge, and I can see how that makes sense.
Which are the tri-Y headers again? the ones that are '1&3' & '2&4' pipes leading into 2 into 1?

I now have to check what my Hurricanes are... can't remember, LOL. But they have served me well over the years. Just looking for another set of ...

Oooo... sounds expensive!

Cheers for that! I also found out my mate bought a set of these for his Mav & he reckons they are well made and a good price so I think I might get some.

I don't think any kind of paint on something that gets so hot will ever stay the same... The Hurricane extractors I have on my grey zook were ...

quote Performance Unlimited 'The more power an engine produces, the more important the exhaust concerns become...."

I think in the case of a standard 1.3 Sierra the concern is very minimal, but still.

I like listening to this banter... I'm ...
