Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So there is no official buggy class as yet then? I should be able to add another buggy to the ranks in the next couple of months, it would be good if there was at least one comp to go in! Ben, i thought u parted your buggy out??? u should come out for a drive with us one time!!!!! and dont get too ...

could you plost up who won the buggy sideof things for round 2

Theres a buggy class? Can someone clarify? there is nothing on the web site about classes...

bump....

Did you end up getting this sorted out? Im interested in the verdict if so.

Is there anything happening with werock/ozrock style comps anymore?

All i can say is good luck finding a set. They are not as strong as mogs, but arent as heavy or difficult to fit into a project. The weak spot on them would be the cv's and upper axles but chromo cv's are available and dobbin could make you a set of chromo axles, after these upgrades they should ...

Anyway back on topic... whats happening with werock this year?

Here are some pics... http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/richopics/tracrodpics002.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/richopics/tracrodpics003.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/richopics/tracrodpics004.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/richopics/tracrodpics005.jpg http ...

yeah mate i still have a bender. I never said your tray wasnt strong, its overbuilt and heavy and the sheet metal is just heaux meaux

See Bart, me (and others) paying out your tray all these years wasnt just a joke If you want my advice take it to sims scrap and ill make you a new one

i have made a new and improved one just recently for a guy off this board, rusty_burrows , maybe he can put up some pics.

Once i welded my old one on properly it was fine, still being abused to this day.

I can make you one for $270, extra if you want me to fit it.

TN100 Notcher from JD squared is probably the best small size notcher on the market. I have given mine an absolute flogging & it just keeps going strong. It also has needle bearings in the spindle housing. Otherwise I use an Endmill on my Milling machine. Give Pete a call at OPW for a good price ...

should of just put gq diffs under your lux and got the v6 working properly...

If you were setting up a linked suspension i would figure youd have your desired ride height already worked out, why would you lift it afterward? Lift is Grimace anyway :D Working out precisely where your CoG is isnt easy, but from my limited experience close enough is good enough. Top bolt on the ...

con, rear steer. pro, easy rear steer has nothing to do with an aframe Dont just leave it at that... explain Is it the tri. of the links??? Before you build anything, download the 4 link calculator and understand how it works. Then go to pirate, pay 20 bucks and search, there are some really good ...

Not sure why your even considering a 5 link, triangulated 4 link is the way to go. Im also at a loss to why people always think 3 links are terrible on road, my old lux had a 3 link front and would happily do highway speeds without any issues whatsoever, it still does as far as i know... Just ...

Is there any reason why you couldn't flip the rear diff as per standard practise, and rotate upsidedown the front third member, but leave the housing as is so the drop suits the Navara transfer? Surely this would be easier than flipping the front and then moving the diff again. Yes, its only the ...

we need to get our act together and find a place like the hammers here in OZ

use the spray on cutting oil and dont let it get too hot and you should get a couple hundred notches out of a normal holesaw (not the one you have), speedworx sell hole saws that have finer teeth and these work even better.

also what rodrocket said.

Thats sweet that it made it onto the news, well done.

Wish i could of made it to the event...

what wall thickness? did you test fit it at the metal shop before you bought it? from memory the medium wall was a fairly loose fit. Just keep trying what pipe they have until you find some thats suitable, its not rocket science

what more info do you want? its all covered in the thread i did ages ago. You dont need seamless tube........

carry on

You can do a 4 link on a budget :D nissan bushes and machined rings to suit and some 40x40x4 rhs, theres your links. coils, if you cant get them for free your not looking hard enough. metal for brackets etc Relocating the fuel tank is a piece of piss. TIME. there is obviously all the small things ...

yes triangulated 4 link, if he is going to coil the rear of a lux then dont waste your time with any 5 link crap :cool: you just have to move a few things around (ie fuel tank) One thing to keep in mind though that rear diff is out of a 05 hilux, its about 5" wider than a surf rear diff so you may ...

the coils have been going strong for a year now, i dont own it anymore but from what he tells me its still working great. I cant see why its bad for the coil to be stretched like that unless it yields. I wouldnt have the coils unretained, with that kind of flex if unretained id imagine it would be ...

Is this enough flex for you?



Standard 80s front coils, retained top and bottom, sat not alot higher than standard.

+1

All the yank shops like using UPS, get them to use USPS (normal mail), UPS might be cheap to other yanks but not to OZ.
