Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ohhhh baby...........

now we're talking

Yeah any idea on the moola?

OH - and dont warn already have some bloody winch and compressor all in one ? or was i dreaming

OK you want big air - do a little web searching (i would link it but im lazy :-) ) for the american screw compressors they fit to F250 and the like.

There is some awesome footage of these babies running two jack hammers through 3/4 inch hoses, The unit is about the size of a sprintex supercharger ...

seen plenty of rodeo petrols fitted with turbos in geminis, must say i havent seen it with an oiler.

how about a rodeo petrol on lpg in the gem? (govt rebate!!)

Basically he wants to put in front and rear lockers, snorkel and a winch bar with winch. Also a 2 inch suspension lift would be on the cards as would a decent set of muddies.

Simo

Yes Yes and Yes etc.. I'm with Dazz, the old jack is VERY underated. off road racing pedigree speaks volumes ...

Hi champ, do you happen to do a kit for 3.5v6 (03) jackaroos?

sweet, might take a bit of time to save up for it though :p

does anyone know why the 3.5L petrol snorkels are so rare?

welchy, if you can take a happy snap that would be brilliant :D thanks

Rare ?? theres the 2 main makers, airtec and safari both do v6 snorks, mines got an airtec, and theres ...

hey champ, strongarm do a steel rear bumper / wheel carrier assembly for jacks.

bullbars - plenty of choice, i run an arb steel winch bar with warnx9000 and 30mt plasma rope.

You can get the arb side bar mounts for the front and make side bars to suit, more clearance the better i say.

body lift ...

And most ecus will re-set and clear codes by just either disconnecting the battery or pulling the ecu fuseable link overnight, if you want to do it at home and save the dealer fees.

I was having a chat about this the other night. I am probably in effect re setting my gen3 ecu every drive. I have ...

dealer detunes etc. load of shiza... Depending on the vehicle make during the pre delivery preperation you can set the parameters in the ecu for the local fuel ratings, hence selecting the right ignition and fuel maps. Most ecu's will pull timing out of the map when knocking is detected, some ecus ...

sounds like a bosch 044 he quoted, bit of overkill, unless you want to push 10psi of boost into it as well :lol: mmmmm 400kw rodeo :roll:

Walbro pumps are cheaper than bosch and very good.

try www.powerflowinjection.com 1300 880 928 (melbourne)

Either use the original pump wiring or run a new ...

Hey champ, sounds like the pumps siezed due to bearings shittin themselves, made in thailand quality

Which bearings would they be :lol: There weren't any bearings to seize! Perhaps part of the original problem?

Ahh yes, those bearing things cost money dont they :) should be able to make some ...

Hey champ, sounds like the pumps siezed due to bearings shittin themselves, made in thailand quality :lol:

Should be a goss direct replacement version available for a couple of hundred. Sheez even retro fitting a bosch motorsport 44 pump would only cost $ 350 odd.

Lpg - the systems i have seen ...

Hey Dazz, any fuel stats update ??

cheers mate, mines standard at the moment, will no doubt go a 40mm lift all round like i did with the 98 i had, just gotta wait till the standard gear is stuffed first.

I'd be interested in some longer term fuel consumption differences if you remember.

cheers Brad

Hi Dazz, have thought about this myself, how much $$ and where from?

I am thinking more about removing rotating mass from my 03 se when doing the mundane highway work. Plus yeah the cv's will last a heck of a lot longer.

cheers Brad.

hey champ, my puter hasnt been able to log on to OL for days, so i havent been able to reply.

Easy answer - They are grouse, the most under-rated fourby of recent times, driven right, its damn scary where thay will go in stock form, and with good rubber and a 40mm lift on the suspension they are ...

i put the efs t/bars , springs & shocks in my 98 jack. i wanted a matched package and they were the only ones that could supply the lot for me.

i found the shocks were a little stiff in the compression valving when driving around empty, but with a load on board they were great, off road it didnt ...

Hi dude, first up $ 13k is plenty for a mid 90's jack, you would even get into some post 98 updates for that money. But if you go the post 98 with the 3.0td make sure the injector recall is done and commit yourself to higher servicing costs due to 2 filters and synthetic oil requirements.

Having ...

Yeah, i buoght one from some bloke on ebay as well. Did not match bolt holes and slot together so i gave it to a mate. He abused the s@$#%^& out of me cuase it didn't fit. So be aware. Decided to put the CNC mill to work and chomp some out. Should be ready in a couple of days,(other work on mill ...

damn thats bad for a manual, you might even have a buggered o2 sensor, it would pay to get it into a decent workshop with a dyno and see what is really going on, a couple of dyno runs with air/fuel monitoring wont break the bank.

you should be able to get that ute down to 12/100 easy enough.

auto or manual ??

the work ute i had was a 2wd v6 twin cab auto, it used between 14/100 and 16.5/100 depending on use.

clean the airflow meter, throttle body and air bypass valve. usually helps a lot and inproves the driveability and idle.

the rotary valve concept has been around for a long while now, it runs "hot and cold" with popularity.

I think every time up to now the seals have let them down, and they cant acheive a decent service life. But the rotary "wankel" engine took a lot of years to teethe out the probs and is nowdays a ...

you could use what the cops use down here in vic, they use a buffing wheel from 3M for decal removal, dunno how much it costs but it sure works a treat, my 03 jack was a full dress cop rig, after they buffed the decals off you wouldnt ever know, there was a little bit of crud thrown up onto the ...

[... so I paid the 35l bag price for the 50l bag which actually fit really well with room for insulation. What a knob :lol:[/quote]

Well he does work for spotlight / supercheap / bcf, so with their current industrial relations practices, he may not be a knob, just another shafted worker.. :cry ...

I'll swear by wurths "rostoff" its awesome gear, just eats the rust and unlocks them fairly easily, spray on when hot to increase the capilliary action. available in aerosol or bulk for hand sprayers.

Whats that?? [/b][/u][/quote]

As already stated, 4 psi difference cold to hot.

There used to be a really good rundown on it on the sime tyres website, you could check if it is still there. well worth a read.

cheers Brad.

Well i have 265/75/16 Mtr's which have done around 20,000k and have 11mm left ( 14.7 new) and they have done heaps of off road & high speed blacktop running ( well above legal sometimes :lol: ) as well as getting lit up a fair bit on the rear. AND i couldnt be happier with them. They are a heavy ...

Yeah truck suppliers, or Flexible pipe systems in the western suburbs, purple pig has some items also.

Brad

hey mick, once you find a canvas place or motor trimmer to make a canvas bag, get it made a few inches bigger all round and head to clarke rubber, they have insulation foam by the metre in 2 thicknesses, half and one inch from memory (i think). One side has a heavy duty reinforced foil on it to ...
