Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I did it on Sunday and haven't really noticed much difference, maybe a little less clunky i suppose. I don't think it had the right oil in there before hand, it was really thin and this is the first oil change since I've had it.

Wish I could help you but the Toyota Surf Forum is down until Sunday night at the moment.

If you get stuck and have no where else to go, look up www.toyotasurf.asn.au/forum
or
www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite

Hope that helps.

Just did the Transfer case in the 80 and the workshop book says GL5,SAE 75w-90 so should be the same.

This is a link to show how to block the EGR valve as well.

Intercooler.

tha may work but gawd it's ugly!

Apologies Andrew, will do.

The Surf has a coil rear end and hasn't been played with too much, from memory, 4 inch suspension lift and 2 inch body.
I think it was around the 6k mark but don't quote me on it.

Yes, I go wheeling with him all the time. Yes it's bloody expensive but from the performance change which I've seen, $$$ don't matter when you can do that.

This is a Cheezy 5 link SAS on a Surf.

I've met ozrunner a couple of times and his 4runner is the best I've ever seen. He is always thinking of new mods to do, things you would never even think of.

this guy just did the v6 conversion.

Engineers in general have stopped certifying mods unless they do it themselves. There have been some serious claims against engineers and they are running scared(I don't blame them).
I tried to get 35's under an 80 series engineered and nobody would do it so I had to stick with 33's.

We have two members I know of running a solid axle front end and one is a five link.
We also have a member doing a V6 conversion in the next couple of weeks.

You can use Mobil 1 or similar in Deisel motors and increase your service period to 10,00km. Downfall, engine bore glazing due to hi detergant in the oil.
You should still change your filter every 5,000km as well.

Turn your snorkel head to face backwards, it works a treat and doesn't get mud down the intake as well.

Is it just me or does every winch topic end up in commercial advertising for Brawn winches? Borderlining on SPAM here

I'm reccomending the Brawn winch because I think it's the best product. I've got nothing to gain out of this.

It's my understanding that Warn winches are not waterproof and will void the warranty if they are submerged unless you fork out the extra $$$$ on a waterproofing kit. I have a 9,500lb Brawn winch, it's fully waterproof and pulls the Cruiser no problem.

Hume City Council tips will take up to 10 ltrs for free if you are a rate payer. Tip the oil in the drum, chuck the container in the recycle bin next to it.

HRZOOK, I'm a moderator at the Surf site and you will find anything and everything about the Surf. One tip, use the search function to find info, it will help alot.

Here's some pics of HG's beast taken on some recent trips to Eden and the Cobaw SF.

more money, don't it suck!

Can't wait for the next series to start but I'll have to put up with repeats and might just see myself on t.v. again .
Keep up the good work Simon.

I've got a set of LightForce 240 Blitz on the 80 series and they are fantastic, set them to wide angle or spot, your choice or anything inbetween. The only problem is when you go to low beam, it's like you're driving in the dark! They are good.

1 concept that needs attention by manufacturers is ...

I have to agree with the "gee that's too difficult" story when you first purchase a 4wd. I was like that when I got my 90 surf. Now I have a competant 80 series cruiser with all the recovery gear you could ask for and I still balk at tracks if I'm on my own.
The track you were on sounds like fun to ...

I had a 2.4TD surf and have upgraded to an 80 series 4.5 petrol/gas.
On Sunday I did some tracks for the first time in the cruiser that I've done before in the surf. I found the downhills were similar on engine braking but smoother in the cruiser, hillclimbs were a breeze in the 80 where in the ...

I'd be carefull on saying It's a 98 Surf. Just to be sure, check the original compliance plate, not the import(green) plate.

Hey Saint, you should call me before you go and book in shocks and springs girl!!!! You know that!
Anyway, I would have gone and looked at the NanKang tyre range before you buy the BFG's.
I can also get a good price on the EFS range of shocks and Carrols Springs.
