Outer Limits 4x4 Board

No shear pin or quick release? Looks like an accident waiting to happen. I don't think the strength is any advantage, as the cable is usually the weak link.

And the spool speeds are ridiculous. the gearing would be horrible for any motor that has to rev for torque.

If I didn't already have my own server i'd be jumping on that offer.

I have decided to book the bus in at Roverland. I will go and see him this arvo to work out a time. I have contemplated trying the adjustment thing myself, but looking at it I am thinking it maybe be hard to get into the top of the box with out pulling other stuff off. I figure I get it done right ...

Maybe it's pointing at 6 oclock, in which case it's broken, and you need a new one

It is certainly legal to flat tow in NSW, but only with a solid bar (no straps) I have seen alot of coach size campers flat towing smaller 'town' 4bies around. another issue you'll have to address, if it has a manual gear box, is a free wheel hub like system on the driven axel. if you flat tow ...

yep. my 10 litres of dirty oil goes straight into the diesel tank

Are you sure they came from the japs. They could have come from the states ?? Who knows...just a thought Nice to see another bloke hungry for a 60 :D 99% sure the japs didn't get diesel 60's i think you mean the yanks didn't get diesels. they did get a efi 3f though. the japs are big on diesels ...

2h don't have one that I can see. It should idle at 650 when warm there is an idle up for air con though(to around 900 warm), and i think theres a power steering one or something on auto's (not that there are many of those around here) mine idles crap when cold around 500 according to the dash tacho ...

i think 9 pound breaks most petty motors. Don't most jap boxes run around 3-4?

no, but if you suspect the speedo cable, why not disconnect it and go for a drive. that's what i'd do

well i managed to work the drum off by screwing bolts into it. i was supprised it pulled off that easy. the adjusting bolt isn't even frozen, so i'll be buggered if i can work out why the Cookie wouldn't back off.

ah well, all is good

While adjusting up the shoes today, per the manual i adjusted until the drum locked. The problem is I now can't deadjust it. I am holding back the automatic adjuster when i try to turn the star wheel, but the damn thing just won't budge. I did the other side without any problems, so I'm sure i'm not ...

Being toyota built it won't handle an after market turbo (with any sort of worthwhile boost)!!! Just open the exhaust and give it some air. Then it MAY last a while. Why is it that some people say they wont handle it and other say it wont be a problem? All i want to run is about 8PSI maybe 10, is ...

Their biggest problem is that once you pull a bit, they lock up and you can't release them. I could with mine. you have to take some of the weight of the ratchet by using the lever, and then lifting the pin that locks in the wheel. losen it up by using your body to let the handle fall back, and ...

I've used one similar from Bushranger, but it's rated at 1500kg dead weight. I've used it to pull the 60 from a swamp. You got quite a workout from it, but seemed quite safe. I would think if it was too much for it, the steel rope would have slipped in those bolts you use to make a loop on the end ...

Just a thought, the 4 inch body lift wasn't done for the v8 conversion?

seems odd to have 4 inch in the body and not much in the suspension, considering effort was done to put in a v8

NO WAY.DONT DO IT. Never put a battery inside the cab. batteries can explode. some types of batteries emit fumes. Loose bit & pieces in the cab can cause a short circuit. although sealed units won't have the fume problem i still wouldn't do it. cheers I'm guessin they didn't think of that when land ...

i had a 3y rocky that would miss and die when loaded up (ie going up hills) after a carby rebuild, leads coil etc, it turned out to be a dud distributer, can't remember what was wrong with it exactly, but swappin in another made it all good

bj75 "bundera" in aust. looks like a swb troopy. in canadia adn some other north america countries they got the 3b (na version) in the 60 series (bj60). not sure about the turbo one. the 3b was also used in hino/toyota dyna trucks and some coaster buses. (not necesarrily oz though) it was also used ...

Thanks Carts. that makes sense, and I recall hearing a slight grinding as I was being towed back.

the other day i was drivin around a fire trail. I ended up in the back of a burned out car. I didn't hit it with much force. As i went for reverse, i couldn't select it. the box was in neutral, as was the stick. i couldn't select any gears. the lever wouldn't move left or right either. I got someone ...

Sounds like the question should be the other way around. compare a turbo patrol to a na cruiser with a bolt on turbo. Would probably work out around the same price.

supercheap sell hand pumps that will screw onto most 20 litre drums. I've got one and it's handy, but only if you buy 20 litres of gear oil.

I can field the second one assuming it's the same as a 2h, (which i think it is).

on the exaust side of the block below the manifold there is a drain rooster. you can fit a sender into that

3500 braked. some earlier ones were 2500 though

how well it will tow that kind of weight is another question.

they are mostly over rated to compete with american trucks

I thought that even though the car weighs in at 1550 kgs that is the dead weight of the vehicle, rolling weight would be alot less yeah? Cheers, Bart loaded up on a float and you're looking at closer to 2500kg. I've never towed with a hilux, but with a hiace loaded to 14-1500, it gets veeerrrryyy ...

Why do you need a new gearbox? Cant you use a 7x series bellhousing like with the 1hz conversion?

repco should have them. I bought some from pep parts. (mind you they only lasted a couple of months)
