Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks mate. i thought it was,just wanted to make sure

Can anyone tell me where the filler bolt is on the back of the 80 transfer case.Drain plug is right at the bottom & there's another bolt (that is rounding off instead of coming undone) a couple of inches up & to the left.Is this the filler plug or is it the other bolt right at the top of the case at ...

Thanks for the info guy's.

Do you think an air locker from the rear of a lux would fit the front of the 80 then?

What would be the point of interchanging them if they have different ratios?

I see a lot of people saying 80's front diffs are the same as lux front diffs.
What part is the same? Physically they are much bigger and bulkier and have a 4.1:1 ratio. How are they the same?

yeah, a few people i know want to have a go. sounds like its going to be fun and not much chance of breaking your car so its a good practide comp for people on a real world budget

I only saw the sticker on one of your photos.At least the beast will look a bit more serious without the girly stickers on the side. I cant talk though, mine's got stickers on the side too but im using the natural aproach to sticker removal, let the trees, sticks and rocks scratch them off. See ya ...

:cool: Hey Dean, Andy from bw4wd, Hows it going? Nice blue springs buddy, gunna do any other detail bits under the rig in blue? I reckon a body lift to get 33's in there's the way to go. But if they fit without a b/lift why go to all the bother? wont improve your departure angle with the tow bar ...

Hi, The warning light for the timing belt has come on, on my 80. Replaceing it dosent seem to be any drama but I'd like to know if the warning light is activated by the amount of stretch in the belt,working off the tensioner, or if its somehow working off the odometer cause it came on pretty much as ...

I made a timber box that holds 3, 25L plastic jerry cans. One of them has a tap and hose on it with gun type nosel. these sit in the back of my 80 series on top of the draws and are held firmly against the cargo barrier with a ratchet strap. when one is empty i transfer water from one to the other ...

Thanks buddy, advice taken and greatly appreciated. I was stuffed there for a while but I got the job done and the box is back in ready to be bolted up tomorrow morning. Thanks again, Andy

Hi guy's. How the hell do u get the transfer case off the box to put on the new box I've got? Theres a pin going through the shift lever on the rail and I cant see a way of removing it properly can anyone help? Also, what type of oil should I be using?

hi mate, send me your email address and I'll send u a couple of pix of my NG going hard up the watto's and poppran. Andy

cool little rig and some good ideas. If U want a good club, have a look at www.bw4wd.org.au We meet at ourimbah 2nd monday of the month and we've got all types of runs on every weekend and the watto's is our backyard. All good fun. Andy

thanks for the ideas guy's I'll add them to my ever increasing list of stuff to check. I thought it was the front sway bar which was missing a bolt so it dissapeared on sunday, didnt miss it at all up the Wattagans and no noise all day till we were on the tar for about 15 minutes on our way home ...

It only makes the noise when moving and seems to come it around 80 k's
The trucks got a 4in lift and 33"muddies. I'll check the exhaust and heat shields in the morning. Checked the fan against radsiator but didnt check the shroud for marks yet, good idea. The old girl shudders a bit when reversing ...

My 80 has devloped a ratteling sound that comes and goes. Its quite loud and soundes like a tent peg being poked inte a metal blade fan. My car's a diesil 5 speed. when its making this sound, it stops when you depress the clutch or back off the loud pedal. I've been under the car and cant find ...

Can anyone tell me if all the five speed boxes are interchangeable. Mine is making a hidious noise in 2nd, 3rd & 5th and a bloke down the road has an older model for sale wiyh a five speed but I think its a 4 cylinder. Will the box fit if i swap bell housings?

if your frying the clutch theres a chance it may be sticking to the fly wheel or pressure plate and not disengaging at all. From the sounds of it I'd be replacing the clutch before it lets u down in the middle of the bush half way up a gnarly hill climb or something.
