Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the reply's guys,

Will have another look at it this weekend and see what I can nut out, springs out sounds like a good idea, easy to do to.

Will grab a couple of tight donuts to cut n weld the bends.

You guys wouldnt have any pictures at all? If not thats fine, should be able to sort ...

Hi All,

I've got a GU with an LS1 that i'm taking over the pits for WA rego, I took the lift out to get it passed over here and now the exhaust hits on the front tailshaft.

I've pulled the shaft out at the moment, but at stock height there is very little to no room for the 2.5'' pipe off the marks ...

Hey everyone,

My 80 has a 4 inch kit and I have removed the rear sway bar and stiffened up the shocks, it drives on road just as well as ever and off road has good flex, but does this put large stress on the shock mounts or shocks? when on full articulation?? Should i be running limiting straps or ...

I put a part time in mine instead of the double cardon, and so far all is good, $450 from 4wd Systems in SA...

I just on the weekend put a part time kit in my 80. I went with the 4wd Systems one outta adelaide and for $500 i got all the gear including front manual locking hubs.

Bit of an interesting tour thru the transfer case as your pulling it all apart but it works well!

I wasnt aware of any CV ...

Hey

I pulled my front driveshaft out of my 80 to see if when i put a part time kit in it will fix all my viberation and noise problems after lifting it and it will, but I found it strange that with the front shaft out I have no drive unless i engadge my centre diff lock. It simply sends all the ...

Cheers RV and Cranky,

I'll pull the rear sway bar off tonight and make some drop brackets for the front.

I'll send off my order for a part time kit today, put it in next weekend depending if it will get here in time...

Thanks for the pics guzzla and everyone, I'm definetely gonna go a 4 inch, any smaller and its not worth doing...

Over here in WA they reckon anything over 50mm from standard, no matter if its tyres body or suspension lift it is illigal, unless you get an engineers certificate, modification forms ...

Thanks sniper!

Good to hear, the kit i got priced comes with the 45mm adjustables aswell and I'm gonna run 315's the equivalent to 35's on it.

Did he put it in himself? Iv'e done springs and shocks before but not bushes? Ive heard its not too hard...

Love to see some pics and yeah I dont mind if ...

Hey all,

Anyone running a tough dog 4 inch kit?

Had problems / or got gripes?

Im gonna go the full tough dog kit, with RTC steering stabiliser, springs shocks, caster bushes, panards, brake lines etc etc...

Also has anyone got any pics of thier 4' inch or close too 80???

Cheers Ryan

Hey Bogged,

Id heard some people talk about the ond and new muddies from BFG, are you meaning since the started having the sidewall lugs aswell, or from when they are made in Japan or something now instead of the USA??


Decisions Decisions!

Ryan

Cheers for all the comments guys, gives me some more food for thought.

The BFG's have always done me proud in the past and not many people seem to have anything against them except the road holding in the wet!, which if I wanted road holding in the wet I wouldnt be driving an 80!

Alot of slippery ...

Hey All,

Ive had a quick search and didnt turn up much except that back in 2003 the goodyears didnt come into Aus unless sourced privately?

Are they available now?

Ive always run BFG mudders in the past, but for some reason im being drawn to look of the goodyear's!!

anyone got good/bad comments ...

What are the prices you have been given grub? I have to do the clutch in my 80 too!

Are they all the standard equipment? or Heavy Duty? or do they only make one?


Cheers Ryan

ill give the bush a go, obviously can be changed through the top without pulling the box out?

the car was owned by the head mechanic for a toyota dealer here in perth, so the oil would be a genuine toyota item, maybe i need to put an additive or something in to help...

might give a gearbox place ...

Ive got a 93 5 Speed 80 series, the gearbox tends to be difficult for gear changes 1 thru 2 and 2 thru 3, tends to be better when its warmer, but i have a feeling its the synchros, down thru the gears isnt as bad but its still apparent...

When the revs are right it slips in fairly nice, but the ...

Just for interests sake, I have a 93 80, so when did they change from series 1 to series 2 rotors & calipers? was it 97 onwards???

and yeah definetely whack some pics and text up of your conversion,


Cheers Ryan

Good to hear from someone who is happy with thier petrol!

Looking at a couple hear in perth at the moment but untill I sell my ute i can ONLY look which sucks!

There are a couple of good ones advertised with plenty of mods, lifted and locked, but they are both petrols...

So I could end up with a ...

Thanks Fella's!!

Sounds like everyone thinks the diesel is the only choice then, the petrol power and response would be good, but nothing beats the economy of a diesel std, std turbo or aftermarket turbo, especially once i bolt on the 35's and a lift, plus all the weight of steel bull bars, rear ...

sorry trusa, only just now after weeks of looking and reading posts on here have i noticed there is a search button at the top - i'll blame it on office blindness...

Cheers Mate

Hey Everyone, I'm sure this question has probably been asked a thousand times in the past but without searching thru the huge log of posts it's easier to ask once again,

Im looking at purchasing an 80 series in the very near future, is there a big fuel economy difference between petrol / diesel ...
