Outer Limits 4x4 Board

They use oil in high voltage transformers as insulation but it is verry pure.

Just about to replace my Tough Dog foam cells after 6 years and two trips to the cape and will be getting the same.( three inch lift)

I had bfg muds and they had side wall splits after the first big trip,Now I have fc-11's on and so far so good, quiet and steer well.

Has anyone put the dody from a different vehicle on GQ running gear and what complications did you experience.
Cheers Vic

Was my first 4by and it was great the only problem is with rust and the gearbox/transfer case. It was a good first 4by.

If you go over 33 your brakeing will suffer and with a full load on you wont like it.

I was stuck on the way to Cape york and a ford dealer put the coil on a tester which gave it a workout and it died as he stressed it.

Mine would run for a while then die and if you left it for ten mins it would start again.Turned out to be the coil breaking down under heat and load.

I have the rb30 diffs behind a 4.2 diesel, I just unbolted the the pinions fron the three ltr and bolted the 4.2 ones on. I have to run 44's to bring the gearing back to standard.

I am a nissan driver,but I have an ex army landrover amunition trailer. Its an awsome bit of gear and I am building it into a camp trailer.I want to swap the hubs for a set of nisasan ones. the hubs on it have the large centers with the grease nipples on. My question is will they fit any other truck ...

Buy the ARB switch loom ect, can get all the bits seperately and u wont need to do it again when you get lockers.Works out cheap.

Four of us whent up this year. Threeo n MTR and me on BFG, the MTR's whent real well. Took six more mls off my rear BF'S but that could have been me playing with my new turbo.

WAS parked in the Mitchel river when the controler for the central locking got wet.All four locks operated untill they melted and locked the doors.This made it hard to let the water out .So now I have an isolation switch I use if it loks like I may want to stop in deap water for a rest. Cheers ...

You can fold them in with a big screw driver and a hammer and then bash them out (see rough ) last time I pressed mine in I froze them over night and it made the job easyer.

Mate I rang APS when I found oil in mine an they said it was normal as the extra plumbing gave the vapuor time to condense and the intercooler made the problem seem worse, they said the oil may weap from the compressed air side of the turbo . These are the people who make my turbo and I dont use oil ...

I had an rb30 in mine and ran 33 10.5 bfg muds , not too bad but would not like to go taller.

I have found that when the seast cover is 3.5 inches up the side of the seat it means my butt cheeks are that tightly clecnch there is a good chance I ame going over. (this may varey depending on the amount of beer consumed)

I used to use a solid copper head gasket on my z9, There was a special compuond I had to use to stop it weaping, I cant remember the name of it .But the boys who drag race cars put me onto it ,might be worth a call.
Cheers..Vic

I've just pullled the rb30 out of mine and put a turbo intercooled diesel in .But I'm sure it used to sit close to 3 grand in fifth running 31 tyres.It was a good engine made an awsome sound bounceing off the rev limiter ,but the diesel would put a horn on a jellyfish. Good luck with the turbo ...
