Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thank's, haven't had time to look at it yet but will let you know how I go.

Ok, so my 84 sj50 1.3 sierra won't fire or start in the morning due to no fuel in the carby. If I put a approx a tablespoon/serving spoon full of petrol in the top it starts immediately and will run and start fine all day. Alternatively if I tow it for about 100m it will eventually start and then ...

Good info, thanks

Point's well taken guys and thanks for the input. I'v driven a 4runner, Hilux, Vitara and Sierra with Lockrite's and an LJ50 with a welded diff. While they are nothing like the airlockers I have in the GQ I have found them effective if you figure out how to drive on them. The vit belongs to a mate ...

Yeah I'v done the welded thing before on a road registered LJ50. Welded one tooth in the sunwheels so it would still turn once before locking. It was downright horrible to drive. For the sake of a couple of hundred bucks I figured I would be more civilised with this one.

Gday guys, My kids have a 1984 SJ50 1.3 NT paddock basher. I'm looking for a second hand lockrite to put in the back. Which one would I need or are they all the same?

So what is involved in rims? It looks like these have 8 studs. What is involved in making custom rims for these?
What are the legalities?
Can I turn the insides out of some sunnies and weld in my own centers with different offset and and stud pattern?

All help continues to be appreciated

Thanks for the info, it's great to find out what I'm getting into before I start forking out $$$. Interesting thoughts on the engineers certificate. I know my GQ which is fully engineered here in NSW would never pass in VIC or QLD, but I haven't gone as far as portals. And that was four years ago ...

Good point on the axle wrap. I'v never had enough horse power to worry about it before but I guess the extra leverage created by the portals will add to the strain. 1. Will I only have to worry about axle wrap on the rear? 2. Are these things oversprung or undersprung? 3. What are the chances of ...

Hey thanks for some great info. The advantages I am considering are 1. Pumpkin is on the right side - no extra engineering involved here. 2. Lighter than mogs - mogs would be pretty heavy for a zook 3. narrower than mogs - it's only a zook Are these correct assumptions? It seems I could 1. make ...

Just thinking out loud. Does anyone know much about these? Who is running them and what are they under? Where can you get them? How strong are they? Where do you get parts if you break them? How much do they cost? How wide compared to a Hilux diff? etc. What kind of money are they? What stud pattern ...

Has any one had trouble with internal beadlocks getting punctures? I'v had mine for 6 months and had two go flat in the last three days.

Any ideas on a legal body lift with airbags?

I helped a mate mod his 02 V6 Jack over xmas. We did 2" lift, Ball Joint Flip, F & R Lockers, 32" mudders on 15 X 8 rims with a toyota offset, Sliders & rear Bar. Hear are some issues we faced 1. To get the front diff centre out we had to remove the whole diff assembly which means taking out the ...

I need a 98 - 99 non lsd rear diff to put in an 02 v6 auto so that I can fit a rear locker.

I found a 98 non lsd out of a 2.5 petrol auto does anyone know what the ratio is?

and

what the ratio is of the 02 v6?

A mate of mine is looking at buy a second hand wrangler, what sort of things go wrong with these and what should he be looking for?

A friend of mine is considering buying one and asked me. I know nothing about them but have noticed they devalue pretty fast, Why??? What kind of things should I look out for? What are their strengths and weeknesses?

Electronic ignition for TB42 - crane or pertronics? Which one is better? What are the differences? Where do I buy one in Sydney?

My mate has a new flat tray dual cab hilux and has asked me advice on lifting and bigger tyres. I suggested 2" body and 2" suspension and 33's as I have used this formula on 4runner's and Hilux's before. 1. Will the same formula work on the current model? 2. Are there any particular hastles to watch ...

I have an old welding alternater. The sticker says Auto Arc international, Perth. As google has failed to dredge up any info, do any of you know who the company might be if it still exists or better still how to wire it up to make it work?

I'm helping a mate do a body lift on a LWB MQ TD this Sunday. Any hints on things to look out for would be much appreciated.

Remove the front swaybar and change the direction of the bottom shockie mounts by 90deg (my adapters are for sale) and you will double the wheel travel on the front. I have some other rocsta bits for sale - check in the for sale section. You mentioned more power I had a webber on mine, it eliminated ...
