Outer Limits 4x4 Board

my hungy (100 series 4.5 petty auto) gets anywhere from 20 to 30 litres per hundred depending on use..... so yes thirsty but power on tap makes up for that..

hmmm.... i have snatched a bogged fourby ( forerunner ) by the towbar that was stuck in sand mud and was mildy surprised when the towbar itself ( not mounting bolts or welds , the 2 inch round pipe part) snapped and bent hideously... after wards i noted that some keen bloke had drilled and screwed ...

gotta agree with gwagen here.... i bought my first auto fourby recently and promply headed off to well known areas and went home thinking 'what a pile of power sapping shite this is'... after some advice from this site and some practice with two foot driving (and a plan to upgrade the valve body in ...

tis a piece of proverbial.... but that was with a bearing press...

so i am going to get a service done on my auto... (99 model 105 series... a442 box i think) anyway has anyone done an upgrade on the valve body and how did it go? i was thinking of doing this at the same time to save a bit of cash (maybe).. i read on another website that this alone will improve ...

cool.... bit different to how mine was.... and mine didnt have a breather :(

yours is more like a macnamara or maxi drive i guess.... cant remember which one but one of them works like that i think....

ahhh ok then.... that is exactly what i had in the back of my hilux...they work great... until they fill up with water but otherwise are awesome.. for te guy who asked all it does is drive a pin into one of the cluster gears effectively locking the diff.... simple and all electric.... another bit of ...

3rz-fe....


googled it...

as above... anyone know the model number for the 2.7 l 4 cyl petrol motor?...


yep tried searchin....

and will it bolt to a 2.4 diesel gearbox?...

cheers...

the plug is only a few bucks even from the toyota dealer so go it with a hammer and chisel to get it undone and then you will know for sure if it is filled to the correct amount...

i removed the manky pinstriping stickers off my hungy when i bought it by parking it in the sun all day.. then carefully and slowly peeling off the sticker while using a solution of dishwashing detergent to wipe it as it went ( was told to do this bit by a panel shop).... to clean up the residue i ...

i considered the fcII cepeks for a long while and they would probly be the best pick ..... but the mtz's looked heaps better so i went with them... have only had them for 5000 kays and love em to bits so far... quite a few people have commented on how good they look, perform well on road, stuck well ...

dont necessarily take this as dead right.... but i dont think so... i was looking at doing this and from memory the bolt pattern on the front of the box is different....not sure tho because what stopped me from doing it was that ya had to use the other type of transfer ( gear or chain driven) which ...

100 series pods would be awesome.... and a digital temp gauge for the auto tranny to match from these guys would give me wood....and make me part with cash too....

according to the king springs website there is only 3 dealers in qld.... (all south east) anyone now of any closer to cq?....dealers that is....

u guys who are running bighorns.... sorry for the hijack but i eyeballed one mounted on a rim at a tyre shop the other day and thought that the tread footprint looked noticably smaller than an equivalent sized tyre in a different brand..( silverstone from memory)... is this the case? i was lookin ...

update.... main bearing removed... bit thinner than it used to be... a nice bluey colour and a little chewed out... methinks maybe new rod and bearings or maybe just crank grind and bearings.... if i had a photobucket thingy i would post pics but i dont... does anyone else think this sounds like oil ...

the bearings are about 5 bucks each from a bearing shop.... if you have access to a press you can have this sorted for nuthing... almost...

i have done this before and is pretty easy...just take it easy on the press because it is only alloy that you pushing in/out of..

missus drove the shite box fore runner to work the other morning and left it on the side of the road coz it slowed down a little then commenced a horrid knocking noise...( i then drove it home... nasty knock) dropped sump...bits of metal and glittery oil... lifted head.... can clearly see the 0.05 ...

that is the thing... i aintdoubting its ability just yet but i am unsure of many of the finer points of an auto.... and i know that manualing an electronic auto can be bad... as far as i know selecting a low gear and changing up is fine but downchanging can be bad...true?

rito... took the new (s/h) 100 series to five rocks yesterday and to be honest was a little dissapointed with my performance.. i have been in 4.5 l cruisers before and they rocked... mine sorta didnt i am thinking the auto was not helping my cause or i was just driving it wrong.. mostly i was in ...

fuel cut off solenoid maybe....or power supply to it....

turns out ney key from yota dealer is 75 bucks and remote is 32 bucks plus 30 or 40 to programme....

150 for both plus programming form key cutter...

who would a thunk that the dealer would be cheaper....

thanks for the tip on programming tho...

only have one bloody key for the new hungy... has anyone used mr minit type ppl to cut transponder keys before? any good? and what about getting a new fob for the central locking... has anyone had to do this before and how did you go about it? i just know it will be exxy if i go to the dealer ...

by the way.... i had a home made spare carrier on one of my old hiluxes and the gussetting right behind the tyre itself is a good place to drill a hole to attach a chain to keep your wheel secure.... just a thought...

fair enuff.... couldnt send the pm... numbnut33@hotmail.com is my email addy for the cad drawings

cheers again.... and keep the updates coming too bro....
