Outer Limits 4x4 Board

They also have no voltage drop. I’m not sure where you get your info from Mytqik, but these devices most certainly have a voltage drop when under load, Drivesafe did you even read the link I posted??? Unless you count 0.0012V a voltage drop to worry about. I am sure you would suffer more of a volt ...

The solenoid is fine as long as you buy a good quality one, with silver contacts. I have had 1 weld itself shut and another corode itself to pieces (no beachwork either). I then changed to one a 150A Bisolator: http://www.sidewinder.com.au/page154.html These are just fantastic. They isolate the ...

Hmmm, well that killed that idea . Obvisiously I didn't give it too much thought.


Maybe the glow plug holes could be added???

Pre-combustion...that one ain't easy to get around....direct injection maybe????

Just a weird thought I had this morning. How similar are the blocks of a TB42 and TB48??? I am sure I read somewhere that the TB42 & TD42 have the same block dimensions, so if the TB48 & TB42 are similar, how hard would it be the bolt the TB48 twin cam head onto the TD42. I know that timing chain ...

I need to replace the CV's in my old faithful ute. Can I pull the swivel hubs off the diff housing without having to first remove the brake rotor/ hub/ wheel bearings off the stub axle???? I dont really want to pull the rotors etc off if I dont need to, plus I dont have the 54mm socket to undo the ...

Has anyone tried this one before???

It is an actual notcher, not a hole cuuter.

wouldnt be difficult lifting it 1 or 2 inches, any more is gonna require some major mods. you could lift it 2 inches in the springs, 2 inches on the body and fit some bigger tyres to get an extra inch ground clearance. what siuze tyres does it have normally? A RAV4 is a monoque body, meaning that ...

Do many people run a sports wheel on there rig? My GF says its poofy caus its a big truck and a little steering wheel. Grimace has the worlds smallest steering wheel on his Rangie. Looks like it came off a go-kart. It must be all of 8" across..no shit. It was an absolute bitch to try & drive ...

Both belts are about 2000kms old. I replced them, along with the a/c belt when I changed the water pump.

I will check out the metal sleeve when I finish work today.

Outerlimits 0, Dumbdunce 1 :D So does that mean a 1hz extractors would bolt up to a 1h-dt?? (the reason i ask is that I *may* be able to get a cheap 1h-dt bare motor & was wondering if I could effectively bolt this in where my 1hz is. I would then add the turbo to the 1h-dt as $$$ become available)

Actually, now I think of it, I have a follow up question. No matter how tight I make the alternator bolts, the thing still slowly loosens & then starts rattling big time. The belts are not over tight, it seems as though the lower mount (the big long bolt) is just loose. Maybe the alternator has ...

This is the thread to post the most obscure toyota realted question & see if the Toyota Guru has an answer.

Here goes my feble attempt:

Will a 1HZ block bolt up to 1H-DT head??

Brian, you are the man. Thanks for that. Is there anything Toyo, you don't know?? Are there any known unkowns???

I think we should have a "stump dumbdunce" thread.

When I am driving along normally, all of my warning lights will flicker. It is like there is a wire grounding/shorting out somewhere. When you first turn the key to on (& let the glow plugs heat up) all the warning lights come on solid. Maybe there is a wire in this circuit that is grounding during ...

or if you have a 5L hilux they are operated on either.

There is a switch on the tensioner & once it passes a certain point (meaning the belt has stretched enough) the light will come on regardless of how many kms you have done.

red lenses are excellent for hunting foxes. It keeps their attention for that 1 or 2 seconds more. Just perfect for those head shots :armsup: As for the blue lenses I haven't seen them in action, but I assume they have the same effect as the blue bulbs?? I noticed a few kicking around Landcruiser ...

All great replies, I appreciate the information. I was 100% sold on the radius arm idea until I had a chat to 2 engineers up here on what would be required to pass it & then the insurance company. The upshot of it all is that I am far far far better of putting greasable pins/shakles, new bushes ...

Stacks are definately doable. All depends where you want them to exit. You should be able to bring the exhaust of the muffler under the tray, forward & up the passenger side of the cab. If you want twin stacks, then get your muffler replaced with a single in, double out muffler. Then run the exhaust ...

I have 34's on standard suspension & no body lift. They are close, & i think 35's would be tight between the tyre & rear of the guard.

BBM sell a complete body lift kit for $350,so tell'em their dreaming for $1500.

Well I have been given a set of 80 series shocks & coils (thanks Rob) and Big GQ has given me his old radius arms to experiment with. Hopefully it wont be a very expensive conversion. I would like to thank everyone for their advice. I totally agree that a triangulated 4 link or a 5 link will work ...

For sh@ts & giggles, how much is that fancy kit you posted up worth Tiny??
Any more details on it or links to the manufacturer??

Thanks guys all good info. Which radius arm setup should I go for?? RR cause there are a million of the things around & they date back to the early 70's so they can be picked up cheap?? How strong are these units compared to the Jap ones?? 78/79/80/100/bundy cause it is a toyota part & keeps the car ...

Just a passing thought. Has anyone seen / installed a 3 link-radius arm suspension into the rear of a 4x4??? Just so we are 100% clear on what I what to do, I am talking about the setup found in the front of RR, LC80/100 & GQ/GU's. That is 2 lower links which attach onto the diff housing at 2 points ...

That maybe OK for a sunday special, but for a diesel 4x4 that is travelling in remote areas, I prefer the KISS approach, even if it means I miss out on a few extra ponnies.

Go water to air...properly set up these are so much better than air to air. Think about this: get 2 red hot pieces of steel. Take one of them and wave it around in the air for a while. Take the other one and dunk it in a bucket of water. Which one is coolest afterwards? There's your answer....by a ...

Whilst we have all the right people looking, Which is stronger fine thread or coarse thread for the opposite of shear eg pull, is that yeild? Yeild is the point when a material will no longer spring back to its original shape when the load is removed. In other words, the load required to bend it ...

i cant believ a man that drew that picture on a napkin, can also say all that...........there were some big words in there. awesome stuff dumdunce, what do you do for a living........... :shock: He's an engineer. He opens car bonnets and says "there's an engine in 'ere" Mechanic in other words (I ...

filler on transfer on back of tcase half way up personally i find pumping easier than pullin the gearstick cover. Yeah, so do actually, I find it find it easier to get an old bottle with a long hose and get the old man to squeeze the oil down from the outside of the 4wd while you (or he) holds the ...

the engineering plastic "Acetal" should be able to be used without a metal sleve, the stuff is as strong as steel, i've heard of some companies cutting gears out of it. Chris There is a certain agricultural company that used this for the gears in its headers, as a replacements for the steel ones ...
