Outer Limits 4x4 Board

is advertised as being on the 23-25 of october in latest 4wd action ???

just a question, what was wrong with the venue where rnd 3 in 2006 was held

CV joints instead of Uni's should stop the vibration as they dont have the acceleration/deceleration phaseing like uni's do. Slight angle on the rear (i.e. so the uni has to work at an angle, not point along drive shaft) should minismise vibes them if you are uni's. Running a Double cardon is not ...

great vids alj. have some pics of my own i will post sonn. to david MMM, great weekend. we had a ball. a small suggestion that would benefit the spectators would be some sort of information board at the camp listing what group the driver/navi were in and which stage they are starting at would help ...

thanks for having us grant. you have a great property there and the facilities and organisation for the weekend were first class. we will definately be back next year for the competition.
cheers

congrats to kym and robert for the round win and lawrie and peter for the overall series win. being there as a spectator made for an awesome weekend with heaps of action and fun. shame the zuki didnt beat the jeep on the final stage though!!! the property made for a great competition testing all the ...

going to turbo the hilux and was wondering if anyone can recommend a shop to do it. looking at dts or denco and in the area of sydney to coffs harbour. any feed back would be great.

cheers

theres a brass bush on the inside of the hub which will need replacing if flogged out. not part of the seal kit but can be sourced through toyota. around $60 each but worth it if you want the seals to last.

yeah it is a solid axle so all should go well then.

thanks gribble

HEY ALL,

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF UPGRADING MY HILUX AND WAS WONDERING IF THE FRONT DIFF CENTER FROM AN 84 LUX WILL FIT INTO THE FRONT OF A 93 MODEL. ANY ONE HAVE AN IDEA IF THE AXLE SPLINES AND HOUSING BOLT PATTERNS ARE THE SAME.

ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT.

CHEERS

portal axles are obviously hard to come by. don't hear much of them in oz. pricey or just hard to modify ??

we just used the FORCE on mine

would you be able to post a pic of it with the sides on

will try to take one and have it up before monday

found a pic of my tray. took a day to do.

got a d/cab hilux that i cut 600mm out of the middle of the tray that way i could keep the rear of the tray looking std with light mounts etc.

cut same amount out of side boards and welded back together. wasn't hard to get it all to line up and find i rarely have side boards on anyway.

i think its an 86 hilux d/cab. he had the conversion done by marks 4wd adaptors and cost around $9000. he didn't use the lux g/box, he had the holden auto fitted which seems to be going ok. give marks adaptors a call as they were quite helpful with any info he required. don't have the number though.

good option if u want a v6 or v8.

the guy with the v6 is considering converting to gas to save a few $

hey savage, why not stick to a diesel and put in a 13b or 14b turbo into your rig. more reliable and better fuel economy and you don't have to replace the rear main seal annually!! been thinking about available options for my lux as well. if u have the money ?!? why not spend it ?? if your got the ...

been thinking about available options for my lux as well.

if u have the money ?!? why not spend it ??

last i saw GQ's, although excellent, were a bit pricey.

what about a 60 series in good nick. pick up for aroung $7k and have a lot left over for accesories... diff lock, lights, tyres, bar etc.

spares a cheap to.

i have 1 of the jaycar showers for $20 ..... works a treat.

12v supply not a problem as i have the 4wd with when i am camping !!!

cheers guys for the info

sounds good, can't wait for the new version if its going to have topographic included.

updated roads and tracks will be handy 2 !!

yeah checked the web site which still shows same version.

anyone used desert tracks disc? more detail??

cheers, and agree on not holding breath.

have a discoveraus cd for my magellan gps but it is old (version 1.00).

anyone seen an updated version ??

cheers

if u don't have much experience with belts i would find someone who has done a few and have them help. better to be safe than sorry!!

sell the 60 and buy a hilux!!!! lux's rule phffft, Hilux's are kindergarden toys!! Stick with the 60 :armsup: if a 4x4 every looked like a bus, it would be a 60 i do agree a chev would be the go though. BIG truck, BIG engine ....... it would get them kiddies to school on time so they have more time ...

sell the 60 and buy a hilux!!!!

lux's rule

35 in a 35 is good. larger profile the tyre the more sidewall flex therfore the more prone to edge wear. Pump em up harder and you reduce the tyre flex on corners and extend life. would have thought 35psi would wear the center of the tread. i don't have 35's though, but run 24psi in 32'extreme ...

35 psi in a 35' tyre is pretty high, isn't it???
