Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I also get around 28lt per 100 km on 35's. Even though it uses more gas the saving are huge about half the cost. Mine had a few running problems when it was first fitted and I had to replace the aftermarket O2 sensor the gas company put in with an original now it's good. I also got a extra 10 ...

Thanks Joel

Hi, I've had my 94 80 series put on gas. the problem I now have is it runs really rough on petrol. When it was installed they replaced the O2 sensor, but found no other problems on the Dyno, on gas it runs very well returning 26lt-100km, petrol gets around 20lt-100km. When it was first done the ...

Mine is 5" lift and full time no problems at all. I had to put new radius arms on and that fixed steering problems, but I never had any vibration etc...

I used 3/8 unc bolts with and machined new taper collets to suit 80 series taper and a 3/8" drill to slightly enlarge the hole on the flange. If you don't use collets the bolts have a tendancy to loosen over time.

Mine was using alot of oil, when I drove to tough truck a couple of years ago from Melb I used 2 lt each way. The valves were so far out of adjustment I needed a head rebuild(cost about 2k) most valve buckets were f**ked

Mine did this when I had Rancho shocks, changed to 6" toughdogs now its no problem. I always thought the suspension was to soft and, like Andrew said, long trave. I have a front locker and it still happened.
Dave

All I did in mine was drill and tap the hubs, opened up the holes on the flange plate to suit 10mm and machine some new collets out of stainless. 2yrs later no problems and easier than machining out the flange plate if you have no cutter. You can also fit extra dowels or bigger dowels.
Cheers Dave

The cost savings deinately seem worth it. Did they have to move your exhaust. I was just looking under mine and I reckon it will need to be changed.

What about injection anyone got any thoughts, experiances, is it worth it etc...

Roughly how far does 80lt get you??
Cheers

Where abouts in Berwick are you? I will be starting to build there in a few months.

I know this has been asked before, but I am looking for a bit more info. I am looking at converting my 94 model 80 series onto gas, I have a few concerns these being economy, loss of power(should still turn 35's ok?), potential problems with back firing and poor running and also clearance issues ...

You can buy some (not arb though) from here http://www.4x4mods.com/Product/Jeep/Roc ... tch40.html

I could be way off track but i've heard the tail shaft could cause a noise depending on the steel its manufactured from wall thickness etc...

Forgot to mention Adjustable F&R Panhard rods

I agree with guzzla. I have 4" Dobinson springs, measured 5" and still hasn't dropped in 3 yrs. 6" toughdogs, never dropped out. Snake racing radius arms, home made 50mm blocks to drop front swaybar. I haven't needed any rear arms and no rear sway bar(will eventually make new brackets if I can be ...

My 80 had a similiar issue with economy. when I first got it I was getting 370km to 75-80lt with 35" tyres It suddenly dropped to 330km with no explanation :x and has been like this for months with no solution. After reading this post I thought I'd check all coil connections they seemed ok but I ...

I have an 80 with 5" springs & 6" toughdog shocks, I had the same issues as chilli 2 with the ranchos, putting the toughdogs on fixed the handling problems, originally I only put them on the rear and this was good enough but now I have them all round and I am very happy with their performance. I ...

Castrol Multitrax 75w90

It doesnt mention what the warranty covers

Thanks for input but I am going to keep standard toyota clutch, this is based on price alone. The one I have in now is standard and has lasted quite well. I was almost going to tackle the job, but the size and weight of the gearbox scared me off as I haven't got the right tools to support and remove ...

Hi, The clutch of my 80 series is about due to be changed and I have been given a few differing opinions on what to do. quotes I have been given are for Daiken, Valeo and original, the price has only varied by a couple of hundred dollars, I am interested in any input and experience any of you guys ...

Marks have now posted a price of $1195 on the web site for their gear set. http://www.marks4wd.com/lc-80-100-extra ... -gears.htm

Thanks for great response these other gear sets sound good. I think that the Kyatt ones will probably be alot of money for very little benefit. I was unaware that rock hopper gears were available for 80 series but I will look into them and also the marks ones if they come out in the near future.

Thanks guys for your responses, I have got the 1fz-fe and it drives quite well, just looking for better performance on road, hills etc.. and better down hill braking in low when out in the bush, I thought they may bring the ratios back close to standard. List price may be around $1900 but you can ...

G'day, I am toying with the idea of fitting Don Kyatt reduction gears to my 80 series petrol, hopefully this will give me a better final drive ratio as I run 35" tyres. Has any one had any experiance with these, are they really worth it? The small reduction they give should bring my final drive ...

Thanks I'll try that this weekend

Just wandering if anyone out there has an 80 series with crap power windows, mine are very slow and juddery and dont always make it to the top. Occasionly the glass support pulls itself off the glass and the window drops down. This is a constant annoyance and was curiuous to know what others have ...

G'day all, Just wandering what economy other people are getting on their 80 series 4.5l petrol motor. I get approx 370 km to 75l around town which I thought seems excessive. This is slightly out (maybe 10%) due to 35" tyres and no speedo correction. I had extractors and exhaust fitted yesterday so I ...

i had a straight thru muffler at first but it got the better of me. it sounded like an old datto being thrashed and droned severly. after finally blowing the rear baffle i changed it for some new hi tec one thats done the biz. will find out the name if anyone is interested. If you could, that would ...
