Outer Limits 4x4 Board

People need to stop comparing Air Lockers to Auto Lockers. Air locker + compressor - $1500 Auto locker (Spartan) - $290 That alone makes them no comparison. For the record, I just got this below Spartan locker delivered to my door from Wayneharwig (on Pirate4x4) who works at Diffsonly.com. It is an ...

Well said that man.

A air or electric locker is always much better than an auto locker.

Considering you have an '80 can't find any factory lockers? The electric units.

My advice would be to install a 2.8 and bolt on the 2lt turbo.

I install the 3" all the through. Has made a difference.

They were fitted as a factory option onto the 60 series.

That was quite a good write up. I was following that thread a while back.

Well you could try using pajero discs and calipers...but you wont be too impressed with them. You would be better off using lc2 rears discs and calipers. Oh and while you are doig that, with your favourite mechanic, you may as well do those diff ratios which you have been on about for months on end ...

No he will bring the rockylux.............not triton country...

You should have a look at BG's turbo on the rockylux 3l engine. Not a CT20 turbo, safari or some make like that.

Will give you an insight anyway.

So Gavan, firstly welcome to Outerlimits.

How is the turbo installation going? Quite keen to read you build up on that one.

exchange rate + shipping +Profit The prices are about right mate I am in Malaysia. The exchange rate between for USD and AS is more or less the same. So Marlin prices are better, but the shipping maybe higher. Thats a pity... Locktup have free shipping in aust and last time I was there they had ...

One thing I noted on MarlinCrawler is Locktup is the Australian distributor.......but the price differences between the 2 are quite significant!!!!

Are you constantly sitting in axle-deep muddy water? If not it sounds like you have assembly problems. Or is the inner axle seal leaking to such an extent that the oil is washing the grease out of the bearings? It that's the case, try a marlin inner seal and a new brass spindle bush. Otherwise ...

Thanks for the Marlin Crawler info.

Had an emergency repair a few months back using exact method of hammer etc etc, but little choice at the time.

I'll put in an order to Marlins and when arrives do it properly.

Thanks for all the posts everyone.

Yes, Marlin Crawler may be the solution. Something is giving way.

When I look at this site a little confusing what actually to order:

I am running 33" MT on 15" alloy wheels, no spacers.

or

35" XT on 16" steel rims, no spacers.

Either the axle seals will leak 1st, or the wheel bearing gives way 1st.

The bearing and seals give way. The bearings I use are koyo.

Looking at places like Marlin Crawler I was wondering if I should use their overhauls kits, bearings and seals which they indicate are more robust. Not too interested in the longfields.

For some reason my lj70, bundera, seems to be chewing up wheel bearing every few months. I have little idea why this is occuring and have put it down to the amount of time spent offroad at weekends. So what can I do? Been looking at 80 series axles but the change is too much. The other option is ...

I am after a steering box for a Bundera, prefer new but may opt for recon.

Any sites selling?

Are the boxes the same as found on all 70 series toyota's?

The Ct12B turbo from the 3.0 1kz engine would be a good option. Right size for the engine.

Post a few piccies. I only ever saw your hilux cage, but how many years ago was that?!!

Would appreciate if anyone would post a plan for a bundera internal roll cage, or knows of any good sites I may find one.

will the 5l motor mate up to the 3l gearbox and are the engine mounts the same? I was researching th 5l engine to replace the 2lT I had. If the engine is from the same vehicle it will mate to your box. The truck engine version is a little different. Depandant upon the original vehicle the engine ...

IF IT WAS ME MATE GO FOUR A 12000 POUND;; $650 BRAND NEW 2 YEAR WARRANTY CARNT GO WRONG;; Are you telling him to get an electric winch? because if you are he specifically likes PTO and i don't blame him. they're virtually maintenance free long after the poxy 2 year warranty and don't suffer half ...

So i have front and rear ARB air lockers on my 2006 SR Hilux ute, Since last time i used them, about a week ago, i have noticed that the front locker will only egage if the rear one is already locked. 90% of the time i choose to use the front locker the back is in anyway, however it is just one of ...

Where can i obtain new injectors fro a 1kz-te, online order.

I knew a place but cannot find anymore.

Cheers,

Is the radiator an original 1kz?

If auto put in an aftermarket transmission cooler. This stops the heat build up.

Have a look here:
