Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all...dont forget to take your tyre ratings into consideration,4wd tyres are rated about a 1000kg each,so going to 2 ton is about your limit on single axle.

Hi all...Thats definately not normal.

Hi all...Foam filters cake up to a point they can get completely blocked.For cars,4wd,industrial machinery ect it would mean way to much maintenance,To the point it wouldnt get done.Oiled foam filters arent really a practical option in the real world.
Dirtbikes however get riden on weekends,If your ...

[quote="KiwiBacon"]Dirt bikes do not have good filters. They use foam because it's the best they can fit in the space available. What's the maintenance interval on those filters? 5 hours?[/quote

Hi all...Thats rubbish.Do you know the costs to rebuild a modern 4 stroke dirt bike engine??????Put it ...

Hi all...Ive been involved in dirtbikes all my life.Foam filters are oiled of coarse.The inlet ducting leading to the carby gets lined with oil over time.One way to check if filter is working properly is to rub your finger on the inlet ducting and see what coulor the oil on your finger is,Never have ...

Hi all...ALL Motocross,Enduro,Trials and Trail Motocycles use foam filters.These Motorcycles are designed for dirt use.It speaks volumes to me.

Hi all...And a winch.LOL.

Hi all...The OTL is over rated as a tough 4wd track,Subaroo's do it with ease.They even put a dozer thru the Gunshot every couple of years.Its a must do track though.

I got Pollyairs in the back of my ute,They do not restrict flex if set up properly.Mine have been on my latest ute for 5 yrs now and ...

Hi all...I bought mine from ARB.

I know im late but 1hz to a 12Ht is like chalk and cheese. 12HT wins in every category, hp figures don't mean anything with these engines as the 12ht feels like it has 100 hp more than the 1hz. Direct injection, no timing belt changes, simple in design and unreal on fuel. stick a 3 inch strait ...

Hi all...Your better off getting rid of that gearbox and transfer and getting a gearbox and transfere out of the hdj factory turbo model,Or one out of the 80 series.You wont break that box or trans.

Hi bender...Its the other filter.You have 2 filters.

Hi all...Deadzook,Ive got the Magelin explorist 500 and a Garmin 60 both with toppo maps.The Garmin is better in every area.

Toyota recognised the problem with the old head design with the release of the 79/100ser in 99 they put a radius on the precom hole in the head which helps but isnt a solution to the real problem.

Hi all...Mine was a 2000 79 series,They were all cracked.

I had the bigend bearing replace to satisfy myself for reliability/longevity.Once we had a look at the pistons,the top ring groove on most pistons was worn badly.So we replaced with turbo spec slugs.We decided to rip the head off,Precoms were cracked.Fixed it and fitted a thicker head gasket ...

Hi all...Spot on,these engines just cant hack haveing a turbo on long term, driven in the real world,moreso if you use them as a work horse and or tourer with trailer long trips extreme temps up and down the great divide.Another problem is the the top ring grove in the pistons flog out and gets ...

Hi all...No doubt about a 1HZ being a great engine.Fair enough,you can get them going with a turbo[like any other engine].But its greatness soon becomes lost when you turbo them.Its like those 3 litter Nissen diesel engines nicknamed the "Hand Grenade"[a fair comparison],Alot of fellas think they ...

Mine had 8psi and cracked its head. Precombustion chambers expand and contract at different rates to the rest of the head and make it crack. Well documented and has happened to many 1hz's even stocko engines. And no there is no way to stop it that I could find so I ditched it and learnt to never ...

Hi all...Yes,The HDJ79 has the PTO hole.

Hi all...Maddog,Airbags are the way to go.

Hi all...Im pretty sure the factory tubo diesel 79 series holds more water than the 1HZ 79 series.

Hi all...Marko,The valve is on the chasis rail under the drivers seat.Obviously it not working for some reason,Im not sure if it has a fuse,but i would check.Could be a broken wire or dodgy switch.

Hi all...Try this company...http://www.allfourx4.com.au/index.htm

Hi all...Definately good quality shocks.The thing that stands out with them is they dont fade to much on big klm dirt roads like the Rancho's,Tuffdogs ect.

All there 4wd filters have 2 layers of foam as they are different grade foam. I have run Uni filters for 6 years on my patrol with both filter layers and NEVER had dust past the filter.
Get the 2nd filter on it!!!

Hi all...I,ll 2nd that.You should have 2 different grade foams for your filter,One ...

Hi all...ash-on-mtb,Pipe is measured by the I.D. while tube is measured by its O.D..So if you can get a catalogue you should be able to work something out.

Welding stainless to mild steel isn't exactly rocket science, we're not talking about some of the exotic metals here. If you want to be pedantic then use grades 309L or 309Mo Stainless rods/filler wire this is an accepted standard worldwide.
If all you've got is mild steel Mig then use that it will ...

what about West End Diesel Services

http://www.westenddiesel.com.au/

what are they like?

Hi all...Dont waste your money on a boost compensator unless you are going to squeeze big HP out of your 1HZ.Westend damaged my engine due to to high EGT.The money you spend on a dyno tuner could be better ...

Hi all...Your Cat could be blocked.

I screw my four in and just drive off on the beach to my fishing spot.When i get to my spot i unscrew them.No waiting what so ever. So in reality you have no idea how fast/slow/accurate they are.. You fit them and drive off..... with tyres at full pressure.

Hi all...Bogged,How could i not have an ...
