Outer Limits 4x4 Board

We set up some fun short stages yesterday

The pinion angle should be ok as he gearbox xmember is spaced down by the drop boxes and the lower arms are longer by about 12 mm
yer i figured once i took the centre out i would say to hard and pay someone to do it but then i wont learn anything will take it out on the weekendand do some more reading

Hi guys I have a slight issue of a rooted pinion bearing so because of the age of the diff and the fact that it was second hand when i got it im going to do replace all bearings and seals including axle

first question is how hard is it to do im pretty sure i can handle the wheel bearings and seals ...

I gave up on screws now i have cableties

Zink plating would be my choice thin layer dosen't come off easily and will lest forever while looking good

If i spent 6g on a lift i would expect it to be perfect and if the coils and shocks don't match then retainers should have been supplied with the kit.

iv got 35 mtzs on a gq ute and i run 40 in the front and 35 in the back seems ok at these pressures

iv been talking to turps off here and he wants one also so put me down as 2 please

Yer if you have the gear and the abillity then go for it just bear in mind the loads that it will have to handle and put some thought into the design before you start and if your not a good welder just tack it together and get someone to weld it
i mounted a pto in mine and it came up pretty good

if they are square holes they normaly have clips in them that hold lhe long part of the jack winder thare should be 3 of them mine only had one when i got it and that one broke soon after

I hope this works because i am an internet retard but here are some of the pics i took in between my marshaling duties at viewmont over the week.
And i must say that i thoroughly enjoyed my first year at the challenge there was alot of work and some long hours but the complements and approval of the ...

loctite 401 is a contact adhesive that would do the job but it would be a pain to do
and if you do use it do not stick your fingers together cos they wont come appart

Thanks for that 8 meters per minute is about 26 feed and from what i can find a standard 12 volt highmount will pull 22 feet at 2000lb and 6.1 at 8000lb
and the 24 volt option only adds about 1 foot per minute so the pto is fairly quick compared to a standard electric.
Im not sure what the set ups ...

A bit of a hijack but dose anyone know the ratio for the worm drive on a thomas for a gq

Any welding done on a chassis will have an affect on its strength
the welding done in the factory is not just someone at home in there shed that thinks i can weld so i can do it. It is done to a plan that has been designed to maximize strength and minimise the heat affected zones in areas of ...

hi mate the symptoms are exactly the same as mine after sucking in water and was no4 cylinder missing and i drove mine for 6 weeks like it .
Anyway ended up getting a comp test and no 4 was down about 50 % compression as a result of a bent rod and to look at the rod most people dont see that it is ...

you will need a diagonal brace from the pivot to the top of the main frame .
how many amps is your welder if it is less than 150 it will struggle to get good penertration on the pivot especaly where it is going to need a pretty good weld
the way the other end you should easily get a good weld in ...

I think mine was about 180 psi when i bent mine and the piston sat about 4 mm to low at top dead centre

As title says i need to know the wieght of front and rear diffs to get a quote on freight

Thanks Adrian

Hate to say it but the symptoms are identical to mine when i did the same thing and mine had bent the rod in no 4 and 5 had lost some compression also
It also stuffed the head by putting some good cracks in it i would be getting a compression test done first off and that will show if the rod is ...

if you have an auto top speed in low range will surprise you 130 has been achived

if you are running a turbo dont use anything other than genuine cos it wont last.

i can send you my bent one if you like or you could do what i did and got one from the wreckers was $30 with postage i think

read your build up thread now and dont think you will have any issues with the strength of the drawbar in current form and keep up the good work

take it to a fab shop and get it cut in a guilotine will cost you bugger all and be straighter than you could get it with any of the other methods mentioned

first question are your spring hangers welded directly to the rhs? If so i would be more concerned about them tearing the wall out of the rhs than your drawbar failing.

At work we build trailers that carry upto 4 ton and dont have any trouble with them we make the base frame of the trailer as you ...

i could but its about 14 pages and i dont know how

email sent have fun making it
