Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have spent hours running through endless threads brought up by the search engine while fishing for info, but have hit the wall :D

As we all know, it can be done, and there are a lot of people running them with good results.

I have found the step by step of how to build it, and its straight ...

There are hundred's of threads on what oil to use in what gearbox, t.case, and diff's.

There are equally as many differing opinions, one thread says one thing another threads something contradictory.......

Truck spec's are:

1989 3.5 EFI Manual

LT77S (bigger bearing model?)
Borg Warner Viscous ...

Cheers, I have realised that the price's from the Landrover specialists is actually better than Repco and the other main stream parts place's, and as a result have sourced my self a complete set of hose's

I went through www.Landroverspares.co.nz

Thanks for imput.

No takers??

These are the hoses in question:



Are they same for the 3.5 through all years of manfacture??

Or did they change for the EFI models??

I blew a top radiator hose yesterday on my 1989 R.R Classic, 3.5 EFI.

Due to the way it burst (split) I'm gonna replace all the rubber wear.

Called Repco for price and availability.

They had no listing for my particular model/year but had listings for earlier carbed models and the later 3.9's ...

Hi guy's, I haven't posted on this site for ages!!!!!!

I am running a G60 front axle in my Trials/Club Class Winch Challenge Truck and have hit a wall.

I had only one spare CV for the axle, and now its in the truck, so i don't have a spare anymore.

I have been doing some investigating, and it ...

Front disc conversion is a straight bolt on job.

Get teh swivel hubs, discs etc from a SJ410, take the 410 axles out of the CV's,put your LJ axles in. Put the sj410 swivel assembly straight onto the LJ axle.

You need to trim 20mm off each side of the tie rod adjuster to get the wheel alignemnt ...

Hey, that would be awesome!!!!!!!

Are you the same Crispy thats got the orange/black LJ50 doing the sand dune jump on lj10.com????

Hi guys.

Im building an LJ50 up from a collection of parts vehicles i have sourced. Its just going to be a toy, based on a partial restoration running the two stroke engine and standard running gear, but with a tray back, full cage, winch, harnesses etc etc

This is the build up thread on the NZ ...

Timing could also be out. Vacum advance and retard may not be working correctly.

Its not just oil from changing the oil filters that has run down onto the starter motor and around the bellhousing??

I know mine has alot of oil over the starter motor and around that area from changing the filters, but when i pull the rubber plug out of the bellhousing drain hole, it is dry ...

Is all the slow running they do in the heavy traffic in Japan. Basically the first 100,000k's spent idleing around. Its to be expected of an imported vehicle, as well as the high wear on the clutch on Manuals.

Hey, easy question:

In regard to the fuel govener screw on the injector pump, by adjusting in which direction it does what?????

Anti-clockwise - Increase fuel??

Clockwise - Decrease fuel??

Anyone given it a tweak to increase the fuel delivery??

How much of a turn did you give it?

Cheers,
Pete.

Nope, haven't pulled it out yet, will get onto it this weekend. Can't be too seriouse. I 'm beginning to wonder if someone replaced the springs and they are to heavey and aren't alowing it to rachet.
Dunno, i'm just guessing untill it comes out.

I run 80 series LandCruiser shocks up front. They work well!!!!

Yeah, thats the one Dave.

He was just down the road from were the missus works so i dropped in to have a look. Seemed to work ok, and the diff was in very good shape, so i talked him down to accepting $400 for it. Not bad, but he was dreaming if he thought anyone was gonna pay $700.

I'm going for ...

Thanks for the input .
Doesn't look like its a common problem so far.......

The pins are sweet, and are in the right place, there is only really one way they can go in.

In comparison to a mate of mines Lock-Right, it doesn't stack up at all.

You can spin one of his wheels by hand easily and hear ...

I had this problem, and found that it had a faulty TPS. Unplugged it, and it works fine now. My problem was accompanied by black smoke too though.


Dave
Hey dave, could you post up a pic of the TPS for me??

I have an electrical fitting on my pump covered in green plastic, is that what yours ...

I have done the usual thing, searched, read hundreds of related threads, and checked and re-checked.

So to start from the start:

I purchased a second hand front diff head complete with lock-right. The diff and lock-right had been stripped, checked, adjusted prior to selling. I spoke to the guy who ...

Cheers, it has all been usefull so far. None of the places have replied to my email request for prices yet though.

Hi guys.
I have a mate doing a turbine overhaul on a power station over with you guys in Auss.

Before he comes back to NZ in a week he is of to Brisbane for a couple of days R&R.

He texted me yesterday and asked if i wanted him to pick up an ARB locker for me while in Brisbane, asd it would ...

Anyone know what ratio the diffs are??, i have a guy interested in them for a diesel powered Zuk.

He thinks they are 3.5, but i can't confirm that for him, sure someone will know on here!!!!!!

She's not much to look at at the moment ;)

This is it when i picked it up, its now sitting in my shed with no roof ;)

Cheers, thanks, thats very usefull to know!!!!!

At this stage, its getting a Hilux gearbox and transfercase coupled to a 2 litre carbed hilux engine. That should do the job for a while, then it will get the chev V6, or Supra straight 6 treatment.

Thanks for your help, i will keep everyone uptodate ...

Yeah, i was starting to get that impression my self when i was looking through the threads brought up in my search.
