Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Seen one in Middlemount so I had a gander, super roomy inside, could play tennis in the rear seats. Cost is reportedly 130 grand.

So he makes all the panels himself?

CRC CO contact cleaner is what I always use.

Sounds like a hot joint in the fuse box, might be time to replace the box with a new blade fuse box. Had that problem before.

Standard lockers! ARB will be having a cry.

^^^cool.

I'm giving serious thought to buying a new Esab 200 amp inverter mig. Reports seem very positive. Anyone here used one?

How muchly for a Mastercraft seat? I want to replace both of the front seats. That'll equal $$$$$ Am going to price some new seats tomorrow.

BTW, no such thing as a FJ 47. What, petrol Troopy? I have a Toota workshop manual, I will check. Petrol engined 40s were called the FJ 40 or FJ 45, regardless of whether the F or 2F engine is installed. Diesels were the BJ 40 with 3 litre B motor, BJ 42 with the 3B, HJ 45 has the H, while the HJ ...

Never know, someone might have chucked the original petrol and installed the H. BTW, no such thing as a FJ 47.

Definitely a H donk, the oil filter is the giveaway. Plus the fuel filter being a cartridge in the canister too, the 2H fuel filter is a small spin on. Not that it's much good for anything now. Thrrrrrrrrrroooooowwww it out.

Got a pic? Will be easy to tell then. The 3.6 litre H motor has the oil filter on the passenger side, paper cartridge in a steel canister, absolute MONGREL to reinstall the canister without pinching the o ring as it's on a crappy angle. I got a adaptor to change the filter to a Z416 spin on type. 2H ...

It may exist... I suppose since 55 p/s exists then 40 prolly does as well..... never seen it tho...

Er yeah it does exist, got it on my HJ 47. Not as good as a properly set up 60 series box though.

I have a 76 GXL, just ticked over 3000 kms. Really like it, but it does require a fair bit to set it up just right, which means $$$$. But I guess you'll get that no matter what vehicle you buy brand new. Good things about the 76 is that motor, it really is awesome, option of factory diff locks - I ...

Queensland Cruisers?

Best bet would be Beaudesert Exhausts.

With the handbrake moved to the rear wheels.

Nope, '83 and '84 model shorties have a 5 speed standard.

Use a 79 series handbrake cable, it's longer and fits between the rear drums just right.

Most people resort to using 60/75 series rear drums which have the handbrake built into them. Though I've also heard of people cutting that torque tube behind the gearbox and relocating back a bit further. Personally I'm not game enough to do that, so 75 series rear drums is what I have acquired.

So going by the above, paying roughly twice as much for a Steinbauer chip for a 1VD-FTV would be a total waste when some of the other products such as the Unichips you sell offer more?

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to install a real engine?

That's handy, they need 40 floorpans though.

The Hj 47 and BJ 42 use exactly the same FCR, same part number. The HJ 60 and 75 just mounts differently, but functions the same. HJ 45 and BJ 40 use a different relay and it won't fit on the 3B/2H system.

Have had 2 HJ 45 traybacks, slow and a PITA to attach power steering pumps etc. onto. I couldn't kill them no matter how hard I tried though. A 2H is a much better motor.

Beige bro, the metallic red would've looked pretty good too, but I want a practical lighter colour. Plus almost every new 70 is either white, silver or graphite and I wanted something different. Oh and it's as close as I could get to 45 series dune beige for some nostalgia.

Good stuff!

Welcome to the alumni!

Lockers are handy too! - used them this morning to get the scissor lift out of my shed and back to kennards!

Think I'll run myself insane waiting though.

A certain mine around here had someone getting air in a Komatsu 830. Didn't think that'd be possible but there you go.

Ordered a 76 with lockers in mid July, won't be here until December.

350 - 400 kms from a tank on the highway. Glad I didn't have to pay for the fuel.

The removable crossmember under the gearbox might have to be moved? Not sure. If you can pull it off, the auto behind the 12ht would be ace.

Pic of the tyres in question. Tread looks exactly like the Doublestar 7.50 x 16 rag tyres I used to have on my hj 47 troopy. But bloody hell these solid tyres are heavy!
