Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey there everyone, just reading this post i thought i would post about my ranger. Just thought id mention that i have an 08 ranger manual with a snorkel and TJM bullbar with winch that completely covers the intercooler but doesnt seem to affect performance at all? I tow a dingo around most days and ...

very handy info, 2" lift / nice 33" tyres / front locker on a TD renegade would be the one for me i think.

all i have to do is work on getting it now lol! cheers guys, great help! i love this site lol

hey cheers mate, ghod the things i had to do to my GQ to get 35's to run smoothly! lol

So from memory, is 2" lift legal? I just dont wanna have a sweet lookin car to go up the arse of someone and find out its not covered by insurance, preferably id like to go more than 2inches, but if thats all ...

Hiya, been about 2 years since ive been on here! sold my big fun car due to work TD hilux but found myself recently really wanting a car i can mod again! thinkin maybe i can convince the boss to give me an allowance in lieu of a car....anyway that brings me here! i cant stop looking at these JK ...

Definately something worth looking at, is the motor good in your lux? i havent even driven mine lol!

yea i re-submitted the form for their approval so hopefully it goes through and i get a statement of requirements, only other thing i was thinking is that i might not be able to get the government grant because the car isnt registered, does anyone know the details regarding the cash they give you?

Well i have a problem, i bought a 89 hilux unregistered from victoria (im in SA) and i have just found out i cant register this car because it has a leaded motor in it!! I was hoping someone may know if any other engines would fit on the same marks adaptor that is already installed?? Also if any EFi ...

hey there as the title explains, please any info would be great.

fair enough, yours does sound like a fair beast though!!!

cheers for ya input, not a bad suggestion but i do still want some lift. Rear springs in front is a good idea, i didnt even know you could do that? One question though, if you reccomnd leaving it low why do you have a spring and body lift in your truck?

sweet, yea if i got spring lift id def chop the body lit down.

cheers mate

Hi there i was hoping to get other peoples opinions on what i should do with my hilux. At the moment its just sitting in the carport as a "project", it was a trade in when i sold my GQ.

As it arrived, it has 35" MTRs, 4" body lift (on top of original spacers) 253 V8, all these flashy crome bits ...

spring and shackle length won't mean squat when it comes to your bigger rubber when it's flexed up... when your at maximum stuff, your tire is in the same place, no matter how much spring lift you put on it

I dont get that? doesnt more spring lift mean more articulation and travel, generally ...

Just a thought, the 4 inch body lift wasn't done for the v8 conversion?

seems odd to have 4 inch in the body and not much in the suspension, considering effort was done to put in a v8

Hmm thats a point, but it seems to be a pretty common mod to put a 253 in a hilux and i dont really see too many ...

yea but from what i have worked out, thats the rules for modified vehicles that havent been approved by a qualified engineer. The engineer is stating that the modifications dont make the car unsafe or unroadworthy, if you had an engineers cetificate for all your mods and been approved to drive on ...

Ill definately be doing all this stuff after its get regod, not getting it engineered its not my everyday car so its not going to get seen by too many cops, plus i never even got pulled over in my GQ!

Moving the front diff forward looks like a good idea, gotta do more research on how to do that ...

ahh kewl, so what does that do? is it for lifted hilux's?? is the axle wrap the ladder bar on the superior engineering site? and why would ya need it??

sweet batcho101, i just went and had a browse through superior engineering and they have some really cool stuff! like the relocated shock mounts and those shackles and stuff, i need to do a lot more research before i start spending up on the parts!

i think ill just cut the body blocks down to 3 ...

cheers johnz and pulux, i guess i gotta get it reg'd first but im glad my plans are still on, ill check out that website.

whats hi steer?

oh really, that sucks maybe ill cut these body blocks down to 3" not 2", oi have no idea what a torque rod lol! but i can find that out, if i only went a 2" suspension lift and 2" shackles that wouldnt make it drive like a real POS??

nah i definately want more than 2", it will be 4" with spring and shackles and 2" body. Surely that will stuff something up in the car lol!

are there any issues ill have by putting that lift into it? Like steering or drive shafts?

Hey everyone, ive recently moved over from the nissan section of this forum to the toyota after buying a V8, 90 model hilux. (it was for sale on here i think?) anyway i got it last night, it has 4" body blocks in it and thats fcked the steering i think its just pulled out cause the steering wheel ...

oh ok, i didnt know there were rules on that stuff? I cant see it being any more annoyin that an avatar pic? but i guess they give you one lil pic to be annoyin lol

whats wrong with his signature thing?? i think it looks cool
