Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The old wranglers back in the day were reasonable, I used to drive in very muddy condition in the wattos and found they performed well for me and if course were great up on the rock. The tread pattern on the Kevlar ones have a more open block on the one side that I would think would help their mud ...

Please start a new thread in this project and keep it updated, looks like a neat project!

The trailer tows extremely well behind the bus! Don't think it has a choice :) Lol no not really though is wondered how it would go given the distance from the tow bar to the rear axle and how exaggerated small bumps etc would be. It doesn't worry it and it pulls the trailer around in virtually the ...

Yeah I'm not looking forward to it. Low is actually an issue with the bus. I had to lift the trailer because the tow bar is a large distance behind the drive it was making the rear of the trailer drag on even very flat driveways etc. The towing hardware options are limited but in my situation heavy ...

I can't remember when they had dramas start but we had late models ones at hunt in stars with ECM issues and one that they put 7 heads in over 2 years and 370k kms, jays were low due to always been in the workshop. I got stuck bring a truck back from Perth with a DDEC 5, prolly didn't help that I ...

Needs a locker........ :finger: One day I may just get rid of the tag and throw a boggie with twin diff locks and a cross lock in..... That's after I get a DDEC or series 60 in the bugger :D View out the window.... I think this was pilliga image.jpg Series 3 is the way to go, because of good fuel ...

My trailer is pretty solid, I'm ordering a 4.5t electric brake and suspension set up tomorrow and will brace the chassis while I'm there just to make sure

The result

Lucky a bloke up the road had a decent tractor...... Rain + grass + 16t bus = stuck

Hmmm what's that over there??

Stopped of here last year, nice spot, under a tree, 100m from a trout river...

As it sits while traveling.... Upgraded to a rodeo though

Base is a 1980 denning tag axle coach, it has a 6v92 (non turbo) Detroit. For those who don't know they a 2 strike diesel so need a supercharger to run, Detroit engine models work as number of cylinders / engine configuration / capacity per cylinder so basically a 6v92 is a 9litre v6 2 stroke diesel ...

Rob is on another forum I'm on, very interesting fella, everthing he does is very well thought out

Looks tops mate, I tow I dual cab rodeo behind the bus and want to build something similar.....ish The main focus for me is suitable power/water wtc and a cooking section and bed. First on the list is to upgrade the trailer and then I need to replace and upgrade battery and solar in the bus, going ...

Due to splitting Toyota tech into two sections we have to go through and split all the topics out.

The current Cruiser / Prado forum is the parent forum so until the split is completed you may need to search both the hilux and the cruiser section

Do I go to an authorized station and then rta present me with a VIN later?

Cheers mate, how do you get a new vin / plate etc? I got the trailer built, came with the current vin etc i just got a blue slip / weighbridge cert then

So I have researched the gear I need and will order and fit soon . Has anyone fitted all the gear to convert a 2t trailer to 3.5t and how do you change with rta or whatever they are now?

$14k buys a LOT of fuel!

X3 LED all the way
