Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I use Mercury Quicksilver waterproof grease on my outboard. Specified for trailer wheel bearings plus artculation points etc. Fantastic stuff in the wet. Could be worth considering. Buy it from your local marine shop

Adopt the Michelin 2PSI rule on sand, gravel, highway and you can't go wrong with pressures. Auto calibrates for the loaded weight of the vehicle, speed, heat etc.

I had already checked the operation of the temp switch and it was fine. However last night I took the plug off and shorted the connections, still the same and glow plugs didn't fire. Then I accidently shorted the wire I used to short the plug out with onto the engine and everything worked!!. So now ...

Alternator light working fine. And battery charger circuit also fine. Replaced the regulator (external type) as it was cheap and quick but still glowplugs still not working so I am thinking of the alternator as well. I guess there may have been some sort of input from it to the circuit. Will try ...

Looking for ideas on the following: Glow plug lamp has stopped working and so to has the glow plug circuit. Vehicle starts OK if 12V manually applied to activate the glow plug relay. Glow plug controller correctly applies 12V to the glow plug relay under no load and with correct decay but drops to ...

Talk to an engineer. Extending shackles requires an engineering signatory....

What is the voltage under idle and load? Sounds a little like a stuffed reg.

The seal is worn and this is usually caused by the shaft wearing. Replacing the seal usually means that the new seal will leak farily soon. So it means replacing the shaft the seal is sealing or repairing with a speedy sleeve maybe. Accept the leak and leave the tube on. They work fine for years and ...

It is illegal to transmit voice on UHF 22 & 23. These chanels are dediated to data transmission only.

Not sure how the Mitsubishi diesel start procedure works but on Toyotas (model dependant ) there can be a period of delibrate overinjection (= excess fuel supplied) during warm up on a cold engine. Temp sensor detects wether the engine is cold or already warm etc. Check out the manual for your ...

Toyota make the best winch without a doubt

The "fist teaser" sounds interesting!!!

RU suggesting Moly for wheel bearings??

My MIG doesn't make much slag..... I must have an old one....

YOu can test glow plugs if you have a manual ( to kow what the spec is) and an Ohm meter. Or you can just change them...

Yes they exist, ..... and I wouldn't rust any critical welds with them...

A bit of time and a clear head and you will work it out I am sure. When you do celebrate with these.

long shot... with the old girl in gear, just rock it back and forth and give it another go, when my starter was dying years ago, this would get it going every time, apparently it just helped to make contact somewhere in the starter, coz once it started turning it was fine!!! like I said, long shot ...

The relays run the starting sequence. Glow, power to starter, check water temp, chcek oil temp , overinject, glow off, over inject off etc ( & not all in that order). It will be the relays that are the problem. IF you don't have a manual check out/search the arkive of the Diesel Toyota Land Cruisers ...

Play with your starter if you like but it is the relays in the passenger side kick panel that you need to work on.

The system is very very similar across the 40/60/70 series vehicles.

Get a manual.....

Shoot me down... Because they are extremely sensitive to moisure due to the much higher compression. So need to make sure air and fuel is real clean. Petrol engins actually run better in some circumstances with a small amout of water in the fule as it helps to atomise the petrol better. Not the case ...

Yes there are calculations for mire etc that allow you to work out how "heavy" the vehicle is based on how stuck it is. However using a block or 2 or 3 etc doesn't change that basic weight so adding a block doesn't mean that you also need to double the ratign of everything else like shackles in the ...

Viscous coupling in the fan. Will cut in and out as you drive along etc when ever the temp moves up a little

Lots of relays in the passenger kick panel that run the start sequence. Get a manual and work it out, not hard, just takes time

because of all the reasons it wet so badly last time......

Your drag chain from ARB will be rated. Every 8th link or so will have a rating code on it. Look up the code on the BillaVista Recovery Bible or one of the numerous lifting and hoisting WWW sites.

Double the shackle rating??? Think about the physics of it the weight of the car is't changing.....

There are 2 styles of transfer cases on Tojos that accept 2 different types of PO boxes. Narrow one and wide one. Advanced Trailer Spares in Bris who are the Thomas winch agents in Oz are the beez neez experts on this.

It's missing the flexible extension hose.

Had a 40 for 12 years. Keep up the regular spanner work and it works fine. If it doesn't work then you aren't stroking it enough....
