Outer Limits 4x4 Board

As above, you will need 16 inch rims, but I have 285/75 tyres on with no scrubbing with no lift.

Why to you say that the HDJ doesn't like towing heavy loads.
I have a HDJ79 and with mods have upped the power to factory HDJ100 levels and it tows more that it is legally rated to with no issues whatsoever.
This is on 33's, but I have been told that 35's knock things around a bit, but no first hand ...

Thanks guys, some good suggestions there to follow up.
It isn't for an 80 series, it is for a 79 series ute, I have the winch and drive shafts, just need the PTO drive.
Thanks

Evening all;
Does anyone know where I can source a 10 bolt PTO drive to suit the H151F gearbox, which went with the 1HD-FTE Cruiser motor?
I have tried Advanced Trailer Spares in Brisbane, who used make these winches, however since the new V8's came out with no facility for a PTO drive they have ...

Sorry for the slight hi-jack n_dorphin, but my wife’s 1.8 Astra also has gauge problems.
The Speedo stops working intermittently, when the Speedo stops working the radio/cd volume drops, but does keep working.
I have pulled the instrument cluster out and also the display unit in the centre and there ...

No mate;
No engine lights, nothing changes apart from the stereo gets a bit softer, as in less volume, nothing else.
Any idea what the speedo sender would look like?
Thanks

2001 Holden Astra;
Electronic speedo is working intermitantly, it always works first up but then after approx 10-20 km stops working. Is getting slowly worse, it used to flick on and off, now once it stops it stops until it isn't used for several hours.
I am thinking that it has to be a sensor, most ...

Yea, I got 285/75 16's on mine with no drama's, they do scrub slightly on the rear chasis at full alticulation, but I have gotten mine to flex a bit better in the rear.

Yea mate;
I agree that it is getting on a bit but just hate to throw something out that is still working, albeit a bit softly.
Thanks
Pony

Hey guys;
I've got an old GME TX472S UHF, one with the front mount speaker.
It appears to work fine except that it doesn't appear to have much volume, the volume knob works fine, in that it get louder and softer, it's just that loud isn't very loud, especially when mounted in a 60 series Cruiser.
I ...

Sorry also forgot to mention that I need this to pass roadworthy, so apart from concerns about being safe, I also need it to be legal.

Hey all;
60 series chassis with a little bit of rust in between the chassis where it is doubled over the rear spring hanger, so i need to take it apart to clean it up.
My question is am I able to remove the rivets, pull the inside steel out, clean up the rust and then replace the rivets with high ...

Had a bit better look and it appears that the springs are not sitting quite straight on the spring perches and are held tight off centre by the U bolts, I am getting new shackles and bushes and will see what happens when I put them in.
thanks
Pony

G'day all;
I have recently purchased a 60 series really cheap (almost free) just having a good look at to see what I want to do with it and noticed that the front spring shackle bushes are flogged out.
When looking from the front the springs are sitting outside the line of the spring hanger, only a ...

yea mate they will fit.
Pony

G'day Surmo;
I could be interested in the winch, are you able to pass your mates details onto me?
Or failing that I will provide you my details to pass onto him.
Thanks
Pony

Told you it was a dumb question.
I had another look this arvo and found out that I need to return the negative to the same system as the positive came from.
So it is all good now.

Hey all;
Might be a dumb question, but I have just wired in some accessory gauges into my cruiser Ute and I have taken the power wire for the gauge bulbs buy simply tapping into an exiting gauge bulb power wire.
However here is my problem, the Ute has a dimmer switch and now my accessory gauge ...

Hi all;
I want to put a bolt into a cast alloy housing and am wondering what sort of bolt to use, as in high tensile steel, stainless, etc.
Just worried about any corrosion issues with disimilar metals.
On a different tangent, I want to put a bolt into cast iron, I think I will be fine with high ...

Hey Austmages;
If you have no use for them, I may be interested in the crownwheels and pinions out of both diffs.
Shoot me a PM if you are interested.
Pony

Evening all;
Can anyone tell me what the factory boost is the 1HD-FTE motor in the Cruiser Ute (non intercooled).
I am wanting to fit a boost gauge and while I think it will be below 15 psi, I don't want to go and buy the 15psi gauge and have it read of the dial.
Thanks
Pony

As above, draws straight from the rear tank into the motor.

Evening All;
I have a 79 series Cruiser Ute with the Turbo Diesel motor (1HD-FTE).
I am going to upgrade the exhaust to a 3-inch mandrel bend.
Two of the shops can supply with a 3½-inch dump pipe and the others only have a 3-inch dump pipe.
However, the 3½ costs about 2-300 bucks more.
Anyone ...

bj42turbo;
I have had two turbo diesels now, and I have cut the muffler out of both of them. First was a Chevy 6.5TD that sounded sweet and since the ex got that one I now have a new Cruiser 1HD-FTE ute, it sounds nowhere near as good as the Chev did, but it sounds much better than factory. Also, it ...

Thanks for the reply's;
Especially Gonzo, for posting on the other forum as well.
Has anyone else installed one of these Lock-Right puppies themselves?
What is the story with the gasket between the third member and the housing? Some say use a gasket, others say just use gasket goo. Whats ...

Hi all;
I am going to install a Lock-Right dif lock in the front of my HDJ79 Cruiser Ute, myself.
I believe it is the same part number locker, as any post 94 Toyota live axle.
Just after any tips or tricks, on what to, or not to do. I have reasonable mechanical shills, so I think I will be ...

Meldge;
The 78 and 79 series cruisers also came with a H151F gearbox, this is with the 1HZ motor.
The 78 and 79 series with the 1HD-FTE and 1FZ-FE motor both had the H150F gearbox.
All 78 and 79 series are part time 4x4.
