Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Your ln106 rear diff will bolt into the ifs housing without mods, negating the need for different flanges (and im 99% sure they are the same anyway).

Caster CAN cause bump steer, but you need alot of it to feel it. Toe can too, worn bushes can too.

I would go into a diatribe about how the little japanese engineers at toyota who get paid lots and lots of yen to set up the panhard and steering from factory so that this doesnt happen and then ...

mmm....the longer the shackle the more wheel travel?....what a load of shite!

If you increse the length of the spring so that at ride height the shackle is 45deg you will get extra travel. Think ifs rear spring in hilux with 200mm shackle. It works, my hilux used to have that exact setup.

But ...

Bolts and Rivets.

Arc will be fine, go nuts...

What tires are you running on clay?

Not knowing how much these are to get to this stage, but how far off turning into chq book racing is it getting to be competitive in top 5-6 positions? Lookin at photos of some rigs, they are planets away from others.

Your kidding? Did you see Waynes Mad Fab car? He built this thing on the dirt ...

If Suzi-Q (Ant Haber) didnt come 3rd where did he place? Ive been telling people he did come 3rd, guess i shouldnt believe ghetto results on outers.



Oh and props to Mark for handing over his cash and Mal for giving a drive away. Good to see!

Forget the fans, they really only work under 40kmh, which in a 4wd would be crawling. What radiator are you running?

Made one.

Seriously though, this topic has been done to death. Do a search for "winch bar" or "tube bar" and get some ideas from the threads that pop up.

Do the fixes and adjustments (adjusting the rear drum brakes with a flat blade screwdriver) the same for the new Model Hilux does anyone know.
I have the new model with the ARB OME suspension lift and my brakes are terrible....

All ARB do is attempt to bend the LSPV arm, friggin dodgy ...

Searching for shit rocks...

Got pics?

if you have 2" over standard shackles in the front then you need 3 degree wedges, best bet is to get an alignment and that will tell you exactly what you need.

You wont need them for the rear.

If your pedal is rock hard with no vaccum then I doubt you have any air in the system.

It could be your MC just creeping with the extra grunt of the vaccum, or it could even be a bloating brake hose too.

Just a few ideas.

I know the boosters are different, with the surf being larger/dual diaphragm, but im 99% sure the calipers are the same.

98%, and i change oil on trucks with DumbDunce. :D

My concept on weather vaccum sucks or pressure pushes is kind of hard to explain, and im on holidays at the moment.

BUT, for the sake of the quiz just remember back to what your tafe teacher said which was "Atmo air pressure forces it in"

*zombie ...

They're being "modified" for Tuff Truck

We got more than a few laughs.

Need pics for the idiot who couldnt make it because he booked his Gold Coast holiday when Williowglen was on.

80 series non-abs dual diaphragm booster and an ln106r master is what you want.

By law it should be a fail. In saying that plenty of people get through with it done so dont worry too much.

pic?

This is pretty much mandatory for "rears up front" as your stock steering arm will bind and eventually crack off with all the extra travel.

Dont swap the springs till you do the x-over.

Tried to find it again and can't, but a few months ago I came across a pdf on the RTA's website, that was a newsletter or similar to the mechanics that are authorized inspectors, anyway, in short it said that they should fail to pass any rust :shock: :?

But anyway, what they don't see they cant ...

If you were in Sydney i could do it for you, i made a special press jig out of an old axle housing. Take it to a diff shop, they wont charge you much to swap a new bearing onto the axle.

Do not tighten bearings and back them off, this method of bearing adjustment stopped being used about 40 years ago. Bearings are set with a preload. Buy a manual, it will explain this job in terms that even a beginner will easily be able to understand. It will even give you the preload setting ...

Wider tyres are harder to get bogged in, but are going to rob you of power, fuel economy and outright speed. The best tyre is a taller skinny one because it cuts throught the wall of sand you get building up in front of the tyre but still has the same amount of tyre contact area to help you from ...

If its denting or rippling the pipe in the centre then you have too big a die. If its doing it past the ends of the bend then you have the 2 retainer thingys in the wrong spot.

You shouldnt get failed for surface rust, however its not going to look good to the inspector, its a sure sign that the car hasnt been maintained very well and if he doesnt like visits from the authorities he will go looking for more advanced rust.

According to the DOTARS document on rust there are ...
