Outer Limits 4x4 Board

looks like i will have to just rebuild it now, who ever fitted it changed the flange on the front of the transfer so a standard shaft wont fit . i dont know what my dc joint is out of now?

thanks guys, i have pulled the front shaft out of my old mans truck and im going to try it for a few days to see if there is any vibration. his is only a inch lower then mine and just got back a 6 month trip around oz and his has no vibration. i have never heard of people have vibration problems in ...

air locker, thanks for the feed back

would it make that big of difference with a standard shaft and only 4 inch lift?
the cost to rebuild the cardinial joint i could buy 3 standard shafts. who would you recomend to rebuild it?

i have a double cardan joit in the front of my 80, do i realy need it with a 4inch lift? is it standard in a 95 model? and are they rebuildable?

4 inch lift,i have a locker in there too. it started just bitumen driving to work and back. it didn't just start after i had been wheeling and is slowly getting worse.
i am pulling the cv's out to check them but it dosn;t sound like a brocken cv i dont think , i have had a few. i might be wrong ...

i have a clunking sort of noise in the front of my 80 when you take off and in low range under load only. any suggestions other than cv's and i have pulled the front tail shaft out and checked it and seems to be fine. any help would be great thanks.

Power to F1 make sure motor is earthed.

Bridge F2 and A Terminal.

Motor will spin if everything correct.

Easy first check prior to solenoids.

tried that and nothing happened, so i guess its the motor, now what should i do ?

thanks for the help, keep it coming.

thanks for that, i will check the earth and test it with some jumper leads.

i went to use my winch on the weekend and nothing was happening, you can hear the solenoids clicking and i tryed to check it out with my multimetre and they all seem to be fine. any ideas on what may be wrong and a easy fix would be great.

is it comon for a motor to burn out or do they seize up ...

i searched and found nothing.

i have a load whine mainly in low range, everyone says it very common but they cant tell me what it is? some people say its the power steering pump, but why would it be louder in low range. any idea's?

also am almost ready to do a clutch, any suggestions on what to ...

all looks good dave, he does great work.

i was out there on the weekend and watched a few stages, and loved it. keep up the good work i wish i had the week off to stay out there but mabe next year.

thanks guys, you have put me a bit more at ease about getting petrol now. just got to get rid of the old rig now

What motor where you looking at getting the 4.0 or the 4.5?

im not sure, 4.5 i guess. is there much differece? what years did they come out in? also does any one know if you can put 15 inch rims on the later model 80's that have 16's standard?

very true, they still are alot more expensive now.

thanks for the input keep it coming, what sort of fuel consumpstion are you getting compared to a diesel? and do you find the gearing alright with big tyres?

petrol 80's, some opinions on them, reliabilty, fuel consumtion, maintenece etc.
YES I HAVE SEARCHED AND COULDNT FIND ANYTHING TO THE POINT

its alot more than just bolting them in to make them work. do a search its been covered before.

sounds good, cant wait,

graet pics looks like it was a good weekend

im coming out sunday for the day, and was just wondering about what time it will finish.

sounds like fun, any pics?

i had my cheap springs rest at ALLSET SPRINGS about 6 months a go and they have been great, nice and soft heaps of flex and havent sgged at all as yet.

a mate just got back and said it was a great weekend, cant wait to see some pics. i hope to get to the next round with my new truck hopfully

thanks mate now i get it i wasn't thinking staight today, (one of those days )

do you change the flanges on the tail shaft?
are they bolted on ?
sorry i dont quite understand, but i am chasing a one piece shaft to as i am sick of replacing bloody centre bearings.
