Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gees how about this ...?

In past years we had guys phoning up to the minute results and listings were going up on Outers almost live as presentations were happening. This year I drag this post out of page 2 and nothing!

I couldn't make it to presentation on Monday (4 days ago) - can someone put ...

Well if you see The Flash running around at Cliffhanger this year......you might have something to worry about.
Yeah , thanks for the vote as well.
Dave

Was that who you were? I had no idea - but then again it was 6.am when i saw you :?
Bring it to Cliffy mate - it may just get an airing on one ...

Cheers Bill - all sorted now.

Ok - there is heaps of info out there but its Friday arvo and my head hurts from searching.

Have an 08 Rubicon - want a second set of feet but to to keep the $$ reasonable i'm after 16" or 15" steels. Have the 2" Mopar spring lift (waiting for the shocks to come out) so i don't screw my warranty ...

Good thing about NO no mud

Yeah no cleaning, car, radiator, injectors, dizzy, eyes, butt crack..... and the list go on... but what about the doodle fish?

Means this little black duck needs to waddle faster... or drive and get the small guy to run......

Hats of to you Rudi - great event..... I'll even wear the circle work (cracked me up really ... and gave me ideas :lol: )
as for the speeding pings :bad-words: need to set my speed alert lower but hey the landy rolls easier as its 1/2 the weight of all those trolls and cruzers....

We'll be back ...

Well what a week - no longer a 'virgin' lost that Sunday on the winch climb and then the mud - No brown pants moments. :lol:
Thanks to all out there - Officials, marshals (especially for the pointers), cooking crew - great grub when I was up for it. The other competitors - what a great spirit ...

Alan.

Try keeping 4 wheels on the car to mate... or carry some more spare nuts -
Good luck - Tell Stu north is always in front

Recieved this from Ray:


Dear Drivers, Navigators & Check Point Officals

The past few days of absolute devastation has come as a great shock to all of us and our prayers and support must go to all those people who have lost love one's and/or everything of value to them.

As a result of this ...

Steady on now Pickle - they'd all been sweating thier Butts off since 9.30 in the morning - some of them may have been rather ripe

Have the Sports in a 33 (285) on the Paj then the Prado and now the Pootrol. Have over 40thou on them - mostly offroad and they still have at least 50% tread plus left. Wear on the blacktop quick and IMHO i find them WAY to aggressive in the dry - they want to climb everything - in the wet they are ...

I'd seriously consider the Paj over the Prado - I have had both (now onto a Troll). Comfort wise the Paj was better, the Prado was more responsive - but it was a modified vehicle and chipped engine. I did have issues with CV's on the Prado (two in 6 months). The paj was great - and a fantastic ...

Jeez Frank - hard call but see you shiny side up out there somewhere. You still staying with a Paj ??????

Looking nice steel - I have some GU3 std coils lying around fo your next try

Try Sam at hume tyres - Sydney road near the western (besdie the Formula 1 motel).

Get all ours there - including the truck tyres

Hey Numbnuts,
Follow the advice - blind up, spray any L.B.T's and cary a spare filter. Either a home made blind or get a Michelles Sac's one .Dust will get in so keep up your maintenance. As for a snork - there must be a few decent custom places up there that could do a stainless steel version for ...

Not limited to the Prado but have heard that they good all round vehicles.
Agree - they are but if you use/abuse offroad be aware of the limitations.
I like the 3.2 DID Paj but a bit pricey for me.?
Fair enough - What about the Pommy cars

Stick with diesel ya reckon hey? Interesting alot of ...

Mate had a 2000 model Prado 3ltr. Couldnt fault it for comfort on and off road. It was modified, locked, lifted, chipped. The only issue i had was with the front CV's (2 in six months) but i did use it as an off roader. Are you limiting to a Prado or just a midsized 4x4? Consider the Paj, or even ...

125 ltrs the biggest i've seen. Thats a replaccement though - check out www.4wdsystems.com.au try www.armadale4wd.com.au for brown davis tanks or even the local TJM / ARM guys could help.

Frank,
you can roll diesels (not that either of us want to do it again) get em up right and the buggers fire - cough weeze, blow out the smelly black stuff and then putter on as though nothings happened :) Run on oily rag as well.
Love my diesel... doubt i'll got back to ulp But they aint the ...

Can't really go wrong with a Paj, for touring and some h.duty offroad. Limited by its specs when compared to the yotas or trolls. Get a good set of rubber, teak the torsions, if req'd drop in a locker but get the guts up as high as you can. Check or service the rear LSD as its one of the best out ...

Gee thanks guys......................
Dave, do I have a few years to catch up to you mate :D

Nah - pickle has his zimmer frame in the back of the challanger, challengar, bloody thing he calls a truck. So big 42 mate - so your gunna say that grey is from living it hard or from the women in your ...

just like the last one hey ? I'd be happy to muck in - but it has to be squeaky still

Maybe a long weekend so the tourists can venture over. What you say Pickle? Allan?

Thanks guys, yes I was travelling solo at the time.
Sean don't worry the Prado and Surf will go just as far as mine (particularly at the moment) at the end of the day it really depends on the driver.
I heard you had the dreaded Prado front diff failure ?
Well we tried to warn you :D


Yeah you ...

Hey Frank,
sorry to hear about the Jabber. Will presume you were solo - BUT if you all walk away its all good .
Cargo barriers are a must - Your roof / body looked pretty bad. (Anyone without one - GET ONE IN)


So I will presume your outa the Challenge? Shame? You could pinch Rusty's pwado or HG's ...

Had my 3.5 rebuild done by Officer Smith in WestMelbourne - did a great job.
Talk to Brian or David about it - they both have had Pajs.

Know your looking for the east side but these guys are capable of all your requests

For a tourer I'd go the 95 series Prado. Size and comfort as standard IMHO are better than the 3.0ltr Patrol. Off road they are as good as each other.
Size was my issue (Car wise as well :lol: ) so the Prado fit the bill.
Lifted it 2" and locked it F & R - she runs 33" muddies easy and possibly ...

So the great debate starts again - whats cars the best???
Your not going to do any insane 4x4ing - so no need for a locked, loaded, lifted anything.
IMHO - look at the Paj - NL preferably - a 3.5ltr. Yes it has Torsion Bars so lifting is limited but cranking the bars will easily give you a 50mm ...

Cant vouch for their quality in sand but they are wicked in mud,rocks and road - so check out the Silverstones m117s. Even the M117extremes - but they would (as its a similar pattern to the JT and / or ET ) probably dig a nice pit in the sand.

Run M117S on the Pwado (yeah I up graded :cool: ). Also ...

Yep the 33's rub on the Pwado as well. Have taken the grinder to it (as far as i dare) and the hammer. Now they only rub on full lock under compression (even the slightest) but it just sounds bad - when these 285/75's are gone then i'll consider dropping to 32" or narrower ones. Mud gets everywhere ...
