Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My Maverick is a DX model which come factory fitted with the 7.50 / 16 split rims , which are real close to a 33" in rolling diameter. So does that mean by adding the 50mm allowed the 35's are actually legal? I still have the tyre placard for the splits on the car and have used the argument ...

Hey Athol , i was talking to you last week about the 4 inch lift and 35's on my nissan , is there any way in the near future you can engineer this setup? or do i have to take it to someone in shitney and pay $10,000 (which i dont have) for this new "brake test" :roll: I've been a bit busy the last ...

A couple of highlights from a letter sent by the RTA to all signatories, dated 25 March 2009: The current version of the NCOP is not recognised by the RTA. The NCOP is currently undergoing revision and it is intended that the revised document will be used in NSW when it is completed. So Hulksta ...

Ive just mounted a 20L tank in the cargo area of the pootrol , they are made to withstand huge pressures(if you get the right sort) and i dont think 100psi of air would worry it.

What vehicle we talking about.
Hows your front driveshaft?
is it hitting the xmember or your uni's might be shagged.

wondering how to reset timing belt light on 1HZ 78/79 troopy , hasnt got the rubber bung , so does that mean dash out and swap a screw over?
Any help appreciated

Just good old fasioned wynns or whatever brand engine oil flush , from just about every auto parts shop around.

BTW i did this with mine and it helped heaps , might do it again and leave it in a bit longer this time.

Ive got a 350 2bolt 010 in my hq.
Its stripped down to a block and pistons so let me know if you need numbers etc off it.

I have literally done up thousands of wheels - almost all with the ratlle gun. I have the gun set to the second highest setting , put the nuts on by hand 3 or 4 turns , rattle them up in opposing sequence , lower the car onto the ground , then check with a bar , never had a problem. Had an old ...

Putting you spare wheel and toolbox etc as far back as possible on the tray will also help with weight balance

Yeah TJM supplied me with the ARB compessor and because its brand new (been in a week) and leaking , they are getting me a new reservior for the compessor.
Wonder how many other ARB compressors have small leaks through the alloy casting like mine does

Well ive got the pro locker in and running and guess what???...............................theres a problem :bad-words: Funny thing is its the ARB compressor that has the problem , when i have the compressor switched on it cuts in every 10-15 minutes so i thought "must have a leak". Gave it a spray ...

I recommend whatever panel shop Mick. works for
(do i get a spotters fee Mick)

Good score :D Got everything you need , the only thing i would be worried about is the LPG tank , where did they put it? did they take one of the petty tanks out to fit it? I have seen some dogey setups like a 100 series cruiser with twin tanks monted on the chassis rails , looked like they would ...

My shocks are about 3 inches too short to lose them
Suspensions 3rd on the list now

Fling us a set when you make em up Tony

My brother has it on his XD9000 and we have used it a few times , once to haul the big heavy GU up a pretty serious bit of hill that i didnt get up with no lockers. Another time we winched his surf up the QLD gate track because it was too wet and slippery after rain.(drove it the week before but no ...

yeah no such thing , iasked the same question myself a while back.
The stupid thing i did was pulling the spring out and finding it already had the same spacers i was going to fit

oh well at least the front ones evened the big girl up a bit

What suburb is he moving too?
Any decent panel beater in the area should be able to take care of it.

Yeah just chop that sucker and fit a t piece

:rofl: smartarse When i worked for ford the nolathane bushes used in EF XR8 lower control arms used to fall apart and completly seperate from the arm. The fix for this was to fit standard base model bushes which are rubber and they work a treat , never seen a standard rubber one flog out like the ...

What i normally do when removing pinion flanges is to centre punch the shaft and nut in line with each other or use paint pen , liquid paper etc.
Then do it back up with a rattle gun untill its almost back to the marks , then use a breaker bar to get it exactly back to where it started from.

I searched my inlet manifold and didn't find one useable vacuum line (all had solenoids and crap connected to them). So just went straight for the intercooler pipes. On my old puslar it wasn't a problem had 100 hoses it could t peice into. Most diesels dont have throttle bodies so dont read vacuum ...

If your after a cheap damper (not RTC) i got one a while back about $100 for an OME one.

My mate put a 7 inch kit in his GU ages ago and had the same problems , turns out the panhard on the front was the wrong one or something and was flogging around on the mount (wrong size ball joint shaft maybe)

With my 3.0L i had a fitting brazed into one of the intercooler pipes and plugged onto that.

My 3.0 GU with 140,000km on the clock started getting harder to start in the morning since its gotten colder , with a small missfire for 5-10 seconds and a bit of white smoke out the back , ripped out the glow plugs and put a new set in , good as gold. starts first kick and runs smooth as , no smoke ...
