Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Anybody have any experience with this? I would like to set up a Rover V8-R151F-Dual cases but havent been able to find anybody who has done the Rover V8-R series conversion.

Well the low comp means you have to pull the head anyways, but it could be a headgasket or a slipped liner. Only one way to find out...

You guys are all jumping to conclusions. First, check to see that the guage is working. Range Rover sending units have a horrible tendency of going bad and spiking, causing the operator to think the temp is too high. They are cheap and easy to replace, and are one of the first things to do when ...

now, what IS cool that KAM makes is the LSD/cable locker diff... when in "open" mode it functions as their very effective limited slip diff, but can be fully locked via cable actuator to act as a spool... I think these might find their way into the next rover!

If you can supply all of the modified parts needed to bolt this to a series transfer case, i will buy one from you right now. I can supply the low range box stateside (found one in good shape for $30 US), but am fairly lost on the modifications necessary. i also don't have a scrap fairey to use as a ...

I know the 4BD1 was used in various rover products over the years. What I am curious about is...

What transmissions were they used with?

How were they adapted to these transmissions?

How were the frames different than the frames for other engines?

How difficult would it be to modify a ...

I must admit I am rather jealous!! I wish I could easily get my hands on a set of those. My friend has the old style 900x16s and I have been impressed with them, these look even better in all respects.

GBP 65 per tyre, plus an arm and a leg in shipping.

It seems they mostly get smaller dimensions, but they had a set of five when I mailed them.

255/100R16?

Where did you find, and how much did you pay for the new style XZLs?

Bill home yet?

Dual LT230s would not work, but a Toy reduction box between the trans and transfer would. Shifters and driveshafts would need to be addressed though, however one could have a 2.28, 4.0, 4.7, or 5.0 reduction in the toy box if desired. I'm not sure how well the LT230 input shaft would handle the ...

If someone can procure the CAD files for a 30% gearset, I could make a few......

more info would be great.... im very interested in this

I have the box from an 80 series Land Cruiser on my IIA, it fits very nicely on the outside of the framerail. The nose section of the box tucks in just behind the breakfast panel- no crossmember mods necessary.

The longer shocks will help a lot, but after that the most productive thing you can do is fit longer shackles all the way around, and make sure that they are mounted at the proper (45*) angle. The stock Series front springs are limited on compression by the spring bottoming out on the frame at the ...

Why would you want to run such a wide rim unless it was with a 14.5" wide tire? An 8" rim is perfect for a 12.5" wide tire.

I dont have any pics, but it worked great. I am using all stuff from MacNamara, incl front inner shafts and drive flanges (all very nice stuff). Everything went together without a hitch, after the machine work was done on the spindles (local shop charged me for 4 hours labor).

Running the ...

on my '91 IFS truck, i have 32x11.5 BFG muds on 15x8 3" backspace wheels and they only rub on the plastic inner fender lining at full lock and suspension compression at the same time. my rear springs are actually sagging quite a bit, still no rubbage issues.

i got my shafts from Jmac... they look great and fit great too. 24spl at the diff, 27 at the birf. my Profields should be here any day now.

youre a little off on a few things.

Rover housings redrilled for the Toy diff pattern (not the other way 'round)
30 spline side gears
Jack Mac shafts, 30 spline at the diff and i think 27? at the birf (stock toyota spline on both ends)
profields or longfields
no modifications necessary to the ...

I also ordered my profields today, doing the same thing as you. How much are you paying for the JMac shafts? I need to order a set, as well as 30 spline drive flanges and the new brass bushings for the spindles.

the skins are all aluminum, but all the underlying support structure is steel and rusts like a bastard.

What does 6mm equate to in inches? I am running a 1.5" OD .250" wall DOM tie rod and drag link right now and wouldn't trade either for anything... except maybe 3/8" or 1/2" wall

I know you guys live in the land of no rust, so I am looking for some shippable (to the USA) parts.

2 left side lower doors, latches not neccessary. color not important, nor are cappings... just need to be straight and 100% rust free!

2 right side lower doors, same description as above

4 ...

how did you guys mark out the new holes to be drilled? i need to do this to finish my toyota front axle installation in my 1964 88.

??? i dont know what youre talking about :wink:

why lift, when you can trim? hehe this is my truck on Q78 super swampers with just 2 leaf rocky mountain parabolics all the way around. the Q78s are 36x11, btw. there are stock series axles under there and the wheels are stock series 15s that i ...

if you would sell just the 400-230 adapter (no transfer case) and be willing to ship it to the USA let me know.

deranged, do you have any pics of this or do you think you could go into more detail? i am very very interested

thanks

all the pics, i will ask my tech-guru dad if he can figure it out, its quite aggravating.

but its only this site, all other sites are fine?

and i cant see the thumbnail either, its just a red X
