Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm not sure that he's flexible in the same way that you are.

So the comp is over and so is the after party. Time to bring on the funnay!

It looks like its up but won't live stream for me because of this horrendously slow net speed. Its almost like dial up.

Just a word of warning for everyone going this year. Milo is going to be rocking the kilt. You have been warned............

So who is driving the OPW rig with Dave Cole now that Shannon couldn't make it?

I'm jealous as hell guys. Don't forget to post up heaps of pics so people like me can live vicariously through you guys.

Oh and don't forget the short skirt pics. Of the chicks this time.

They call the utes pickups here. I guess its because you can pickup the lady boys with them. Haha

depends on how old the rodeo is mate but I'm sure there will have stuff.

Width is the only real concern. Parts are cheap and easy to get. Get an injection kit for it to get better economy or run gas...... or late model diesel conversion would be cool. It's different from the norm which is cool and it will mean having to learn how to drive it so that in itself will be ...

Don't forget to post a build thread with lots of pics Lawri.

Well the answer is simple but not so easy on the solution. To overcome the extra leverage you would need to add the same distance that the portals add. As for solutions well it depends on a lot of different factors. What tyres are you running? What packaging constraints do you have IE. Suspension ...

Hi guys, Just a heads up for people chasing go fast bits for their pickups. Most of the pickups are built here in Thailand where I now live and work. Their main draw card racing event is racing pickups in the proclass circuit racing. So there are heaps of go fast parts off the shelf here in Thailand ...

Each to their own Evan. Just putting it out there that too many people go straight to overseas suppliers without even looking loccal first.

Thats very true. The top end stuff that Mick supplies is mostly to help other guys get into the competition scene and make it more fun for everyone including him. He helps a lot of guys out at cost and puts a lot back into the sport. The normal run of the mill stuff is where he makes his money. But ...

Fair enough. You have your reasons. But I see all the time in threads like this where people will always recommend overseas companies straight away without even giving a thought to local companies. There really are some great companies here that are more than happy to help but there are also a lot ...

I've gotten most of my stuff through Pete at OPW. The prices were fair and in fact he save me some coin on shipping. He made some money on some parts and none on others. He and Tazz were also very patient with all my questions and organising payment for stuff. I spent a lot of money on parts but all ...

C'mon guys. Aren't we supposed to be supporting local companies? Everyone complains that we can't get this stuff here in OZ and when someone like mick fawks out some big coin to import a whole bunch of parts that people are looking for we just say "Meh, I can do better than that". Its no wonder they ...

I bet they'd bounce up and down on the shaft all day. I especially like how she can do 2 things at the same time. She knows how to twist the nut while holding the shaft at the same time.

Its nice to see Sam recover from a bad situation and work hard to regain the respect of people. Awesome stuff Sam.

One that is 3 inch. :finger: A straight through is the best but won't get passed on roadies. It has to exit past the last opening of the vehicle so behind the cab. A shorter exhaust will give you better torque and a longer one will give you more power. Main thing to remember is to keep it as free ...

Well you can always get the Midgets to help you with one of those tasks. You pick which one. lol.

I told him that you'd do it Milo. As long as he kept the midgets happy while he's there.

Disregard all the questions. Unless it is really decked out with a lot of camping stuff like drawers, roof rack, spotties, winch etc etc etc. Then it is too much to pay. A quick search of carsales shows that. You can get a 98 TD42 wagon with a long range tank for only $14,500. Spend an extra 10k on ...

OK. So he spent 6k+ because compression was slightly below nissan specs on a TD42 that had only done 150000k. That just doesn't sound right. There is more to that story as to why the compression was low. You didn't answer the other questions as well. Turbo? ST or DX? Both these questions will add or ...

30k is not too much for all that if it is in good condition. Get underneath and have a look at the chassis rails, diffs and crossmember to see if its been bashed around. Look inside for signs of wear and tear etc. Above all else. Make sure its engineered. Good luck getting a road worthy with 35's ...

Hey Elmo. I got the cage done up in Townsville in my old truck. I wouldn't pass scrutineering now though because the design didn't have enough cross bracing on the roof line to meet standards today. But it really was a super tight fit. They had to get 2 guys to jam it into place while a 3rd guy did ...

yeah. Pit crew is the one. I know they are into sprint cars but they know a lot of guys and have been around for a long time. A roll cage is a roll cage and can easily be built to spec from any design rule. The guys that are really good also make it a really tight fit inside the cab. The first time ...

I can't remember the name of the small performance shop that is near 5 ways Islington. They deal mostly with speed way guys but they have heaps of knowledge of workshops around the area and they are great to chat with.

If you'd done year 7 maths, you would have learnt about 'rounding' to a meaningful decimal place ie. 1.4m :finger: :finger: :D No worries bro. I won't bother contributing to any threads since you've clearly got it all covered. He was joking mate. Don't take life so serious. By the way. You're ...

Yet on my high mount in a comp the rope broke and we just wrapped the loose end around the drum a couple of times and kept winching. No problems. Different circumstances require different things.

Oh. And the length of rope on the drum isn't what gives it strength. The amount of wraps is. If you have time then test your winch with just 3 wraps on the drum. (this is the recommended minimum from most manufacturers) You'll be surprised just how little rope you need on the drum to hold it. I ...

Shadow wrote:The danger would be winching out under load. Definately keep more than 3 wraps around the drum in this situation!!

I just got an awesome mental image of a navi holding a loose winch cable at the edge of a cliff and the driver in the car falling to the bottom of the cliff.
