Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Mate there is a bloke in gympie called killa custom cables. Does conversions and all the wiring etc. Ive got a loom for a 5ltr in a hilux and cant fault it. I think he used to be on here. He has a facebook page aswell and so might be able to clue you up on a few things

Thanks for that mate.

It must be alright if you fellas are using it gasless in a factory situation. I will have to have a look around and see what some of it is worth.

Hey all,

Has anyone ever tried out stainless gasless migwire?

It will be in my mates mig (400ish amp, high quality) for a few little projects. We wont be doing enough or highly frequently enough stainless stuff to warant crazy bottle rentle prices plus filling gas. It will just be for small jobs ...

Thanks for the reply mate.

I ended up getting a water catch tank off a petrol hiux. It might have been a 22r engine? The factory airbox has a small circular box on the bottom to catch water. It has a rubber grommet that when the car is running and sucking air is sealed shut. So when the engine is ...

Hey all,

I am going to knock up a custom airbox for my ute. Going custom because of space issues. It will be a box to fit the space I have, with a 4inch inlet and outlet and a pod filter inside. I will just use a perspex lid. It will be fed by a stainless snorkel with no snorkel head and the ...

Hey guys,

Mid way through a 304 conversion in a ln106. Have the motor in and now i'm starting to sort out everything is. It is sitting on marks engine mounts.

I have a problem with the holden pump/resevoir hitting on the hilux steering box. Hilux power steer lines come out the top of the box and ...

Hey everyone,

Currently putting a 304 v8 into a hilux. I remember seeing an add on ebay or gumtree a while ago from a bloke who can retune or map standard holden computers with a better tune and change from auto to manual etc for a couple of hundred bucks.

I cant find the add anywhere now, so was ...

Hey loosecannon, I havnt chased it up yet. Will report back when I do.

Cheers David

That sounds pretty sweet mate, got any pics?

Sweet thanks for that. I'll make some calls and get the ball rolling next week.

Hey guys,

I bought a rolling shell ln106 for a project a while ago. The bloke who had it before me had it in the same state I bought it for 2 years in his shed (stripped and in primer with heaps of parts missing) . Half way through rebuilding a 5litre for it at the moment and have most of it ...

Hey all,

Currently building up a v8 hilux. I have a single cab ln106 with no doors.

I have been searching around for doors which seem to be few and far between. And what I do find is ridiculously priced. I cant seem to get a proper answer on what doors fit what hilux.

Will single dual cab front ...

Be VERY careful and do your homework if you are buying a reco motor. I got burnt by a large company (not sure if I can name and shame?).

Looking at going v6 now, and selling the 253 and gas together.

Nah mate, no paperwork.

As far as I was aware it just had to be inspected and blue plated and you were good to go in Qld.

Cheers for the replys

Bugger not what I wanted to hear.

Cheers mate

Hey all,

I have recently bought a 1994 4wd single cab lux. It was originally a 22r but the previous owner has had a 253 put in and a gas setup as well as petrol. The conversion was mod plated but the rego left as a four cylinder.

I bought it without rwc and fixed up a few small things with the ...

A reco engine should be no different to brand new.

:)


No way mate. Reco's are done to a fixed price. So this means whoever is doing the reco is using as much of the original engine as possible to save costs.

Cams, valves, springs etc etc are checked for tollerance and if in spec are re-used ...

the shims are for pre load on the swivel bearings. I have rebuilt my swivel hubs 2 times in about 2 years and have just run two shims top and bottom. I am a backyard hack with no mechanical training though.

But so far it seems to be working alright for me

For what model vehicle?, Will get you alot more help probably

Depending on how much you would use the tipper you could knock up a cheapo version yourself.

It's pretty easy to chuck a big hinging setup to the ass end of the tray. If you have a roll bar you could mount a cheap winch down below the front of the tray. Run the cable up to a rollbar over a small ...

I use the cheapest shit on the shelf at autobarn and top it up with water. have replaced it jsut the other day for the first time in 3 years. No signs on rust in the system.

if yor truck runs nice and at the right temp and the cooling system looks to be in check is there any difference between the ...

Hey mate,

Pm Roctoy he makes to sell brackets to do rear disc conversions on hiluxs. He should be able to let you know what calipers to use with them

I ran a set of 33 muddys for about 60 000km on my lux. 2.8 turbo running 13pound boost. Raped the shit out of it constantly and didnt care about the driveline and never had a diff or gearbox problem so I dont think the problem is to much right foot

Yeah they dont seem to work well for long. Go wheeling and it flogs out again

Just gotta keep the drums nice and clean and keep tightening the slack in the cable

Hey mate,

I have a set of 4.88 centres sitting around doing nothing. Send me a pm if you havnt found any yet.

Where are you located?

The box the masks come in will have on them what they are designed for. Go to your local safety shop or hardware and they should help you out.

Have heard that the fumes can cause some really serious health problems

I recently did the brakes on my hilux.

Rip off the back wheel and drum and check out the shoes and adjuster. Good chance it will be full of shit and the adjuster seized up like mine was. The back brakes werent doing anything, all load was on the front. And the handbrake was shagged aswell. I ...

I have owned both 2.4 and 2.8 turbo'd. Would take the 2.8 anyday over the 2.4

My hilux has a tad over 400 on the clock. On its second motor now with a turbo kit. Runs great.

In the 3 years I have owned in though i have had to replace a few parts that were showing their age. The alternator flogged out big time and had to be replaced as well as the starter motor. They are wear ...
