Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Can be made to fit easy enough and use drive shafts,
The good:
Wet brakes
Planetary hub reduction
Hydro steer factory fitted
Will handle big tyres

The bad:
No diff lock
Very heavy
Parts not so common and probably expensive

Someone should start an event that puts different winches up against each other like magazines do when they compare some products. It would be more about the winches speed and reliabilty, how user friendly they are and so on. For example you could have a simple stage for outright fastest no load ...

What's the difference between the 60,75,80 and 105 series boxs other than sector shaft size?
Do they all have the same internal flow or is the 75 somewhat different?
Do they all have the same mounting pattern?

Serg,

I bent my maxidrive trackrod by winching up a steep hill with the wheels off the ground,the ruts were very deep and no other lines to take.
With it bent it still survived the rest of the weekend and the drive home.
Straightened it in the press and has been fine since.

Hey Serg,

I've used both and can recommend them, Blackwoods has a good range to choose from.

Try some nordlock washers,they require 1.5 times the tensioning torque to undo.We use them at work in high vibration areas with good results and will handle the heat from your manifold.

Use 110 calipers on your discs,much better braking from larger pistons and pads.They bolt straight on but are only single line unlike the rangies.

Have you pulled the dizzy out to check what's happening?

Mick,
Check the pressure relief valve isn't jammed open,it's a known problem with the rover V8's that I know of.It's the large hex plug near the oil filter,remove that and check the plunger is free in the bore.
Cheers Eric

I've just rebuilt my spare 4 bolt and was happy with the availability of parts as they're more common than the 6 bolt,they seem plenty strong enough so no worries there.As mentioned new ones can be bought for around $800 which I think is quiet reasonable. So If I was in your position I'd use the 4 ...

The cable tensioner will stop your cable releasing off the drum when under no load,such as when free spooling.It will not help the cable feed across to the outer sections of the drum if you have excessive fleet angle.If the tensioner spring has alot of clamping force it will make pulling the cable ...

No,I think you'd get away with it for at least 6 months.Ha Ha.

There's some on a red county I know of around these parts,lol.

Talk to Anthony at British 4wd Imports in vic (0397288046),he sells them new and runs one in his coil sprung lightweight hybrid.Eric.

thanks for the positive feedback,I might just get a set then.

Anyone tried EFS extreme shocks?
Only found out about them today,some specs.
-45mm bore
-twin tube hydraulic design
-2mm H/D wall thickness
-20mm rod
-iron piston rings
-multi lip viton seals
-bonded rubber eye bushes
-internal hydraulic rebound stop

already got a crank handle to suit a thomas,the problem with that is my winch is centre mounted.i agree that a hand winch is very useful,more often than not we go with a variety of winch equiped vehicles.some have pto and others electric,don't see many hydraulic ones though.when you need a short ...

with a pto winch would it be possible to winch yourself back onto your wheels if your fourby was on it's roof,by hooking the winch up and using the starter motor (with the transfercase in neutral and the winch engaged,maybe 1st gear to reduce the load ) to crank it over?

after talking with some more fuel injection places i've decided to use standard vl turbo injectors,they flow 245cc as opposed to 185 for the rover ones.will get it dyno tuned soon.

i'm keen on going back down there,98 was awesome but a little cold.

the play in the front output will just be the bearing,it's a simple job.

if your running a 2.2L 4cyl carby motor and that fuel pump that you got out of the landrover works ok,then i would use that one.the land rover motor was 2.25L 4cyl carby aswell.i used to run a similar pump on mine and it worked fine,also worked fine on a 3.5L carbied v8 range rover.

Some drain holes wouldn't go a stray, hopefully you don't cook your transfer.
good work guys.

thanks for the tips,keep them coming.i'm already running a haltech E6X fuel and ignition management computer because of the powerdyne super charger.the reason for the larger injector is at 4300RPM the current injectors are maxing out.do the new style injectors have the same sealing arrangement in ...

your right about finding injectors to suit as no shops can give me any info on flow rates,they just have a listing for the engine and a part number(sometimes they have a pic of the injector).been told that holden camira and nissan skyline(RB30) are the same style,but no figures again.what do others ...

anyone know how much standard injectors flow on an 86 rangy efi?
i need bigger ones but don't know where to start looking,and what's available without going too big.

thanks heaps guys

seen tj wrangler flares on a disco 1

my gauge is an aftermarket job which reads in PSI,at idle it sits at 20+-
and up around 5000rpm it reads 80+-.

haven't seen it around yet but will let you know if i do
