Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I went the Detroit soft auto locker and it is great, you would not know it is there and you don't have to do a thing ( always working). Buy direct from US and save heaps, I would put one in the front to if the disco wasn't AWD.

Go the Detroit soft locker, I have just fitted one to my Disco and you cannot tell when it is unlocking, very smooth. My brother had a Lockright in the rear of his shorty cruiser and it clicked and banged (never broke anything). 10 years later he pulled it out and the axels splines had warn almost ...

Speak to the guys at Prochem Pipeline Products (03 9799 2244) in Dandenong. They sell 304 and 316 tube, the bends are only in 316!! aparently it is cheaper so they say. 316 has molly in it which reduces the likly hood of corrossion. It will still stain if left for a long period with out washing ...

Im now running a Detroit auto locker in the rear of my Disco and it is soooo smooth you wouldnt know it is there and you have change to buy HD axels!

I have a auto 300TDI 96 model, when I first got it I was getting about 10l/100k (720km / tank), now I only get about 550km /tank around town. Not sure why it has dropped off. In saying that the 550 is my wife driving and doing alot of short trips. When I run 32 mungrels in the bush I get 550km and ...

I was at Mill weld last week and he is only producing Patrol items now. He is also moving up to Boni Doon to run a lodge, luck bugger.

Yep the keyway had exploded inside, found a new 1 for $265 couldnt wait needed it same day. almost shred the new belt too. the tension pully was making the belt run off course. had to cut one of the v runs off because it got damaged! hmmm.

Looks like the power stearing pump has died. First I thought it was just the belt cut down to half width not having enough pressure to drive however after checking bearings etc I found the pump pully and shaft slide towards the fan. Can it be fixed or would is it common for the shaft to snap or ...

The clark rubber ones has a wire hole around the outer. With the wire inserted they hold shape well and dont sag! Comes down to the look you want$

A friend of mine is selling his 98 D1 and I want to get rid of the rubber donut too. Can I just swap the tail shalft and the diff pinion adaptor from the friends car or will I need to change the diffs too?

Russ, I run std height after market springs on mine with a 255/70/16 Mungral for track work. They do just kiss the front guards if you drive fast and bottom it out. Rear I made Z brackets and spaced out the rear guards at the back for the next few trips. Then I read some where, where you can cut and ...

Yep, out goes the Disco once a CRD Rubican is available!

Come on Jeep pull ur finger out.

My brother had one in the back of his diesel 79 shorty for 10 years. When he changed to a ute (due to rust problems) we found the splines on the axels where about half worn off!! We put this down to the constant moving / engaging under load. He ended up chucking the lockright and axels. You have to ...

no fat man would have bent mine!!! 75 x 50 RHS with 2mm wall, I ended up having to press it in three points to get the shape (couple of tonne). That is the hardess part, getting the shape right... How are people mounting them. I was going to buy some nut inserts for the front and also drill through ...

Ill try jumping on if first!

Cheers

I would like to build some sliders however how do you get the slight arch in the Disco sliders?

OK I had go after reading the other web site. Luck there was pictures because when I opened it up there was a flat washer floating around in side! End up being a support / spacer for one of the valves, hit it back in and added loctite sealant. Hopefully no more leaks!!!! Thanks for the info ...

My vacuum pump is leaking oil out, where a side cover is pop rivited on.
New ones are expensive! Can it be drilled apart and resealed?
If I go to the trouble, will it last?

What to do!!!!!

I thought my D1 was below spec when performing off road in the high country until I put on some Mungrel tyres. No cutting yet, no lift. Found the bump stops front and back and had a litlle tyre srape here and a little tyre scrape there however all in all I kept up with the big boys in their 4" lift ...

They are a cheep short term option!!! I had one in the back of the cruiser for 5 years. Pulled it out to place in new rusty cruiser and hole sh@# the splines had nearly worn off the axels. Now I have stuffed axels and locker, add it all up and yep I could have had a real locker and nun of that ...

Ive been thinking of 33 too however what will my fuel econemy be like afterwards on my 300tdi auto ( would put in 4.1 ratios of course) any one running 33s on a 300tdi ?

Currently getting 750ks to a tank!

the one off my wifes disco has two extra bars for protection of the grill, 1 of them holds the spotties.

When I pull my little lever slowly, both high beam and low beam are on at the same time. It is realy good, why cant you or should I say will if fry anything if I was to mod the setup so on high beam low is on at the same time????

try USA 4x4 in Melb, Iv seen some of their imported split type and they look cool!

Ive got one that I took off my wifes car, U can have it for $150 bucks if interested.
It still has the LAndrover sticker on it!

I went the Safari ABS one, this fits 300TDI & V8s.
Took about 4 hours to fit. When fitting dont srew the steel offset mount on to the air cleaner box, fit the air cleaner in place first and mark holes. I had to move mine! Got it from AMV in Ringwood.

If enough people where after a kit and if I can get my hands on a UK kit, possibly I could machine up copys (very simular) at a fraction of the UK cost. Would prob need to buy one kit first and see whats in it!

They look the bit. I hope Jeep OZ dont stuff it up by inflating the price othewise the end up like the 4x4 of the year (Disco) wont sell any!!!

Some of those rubber flares let u put wire in the outer lip so they bend and hold shape on the corners. My mate just got the rubber flare stuff from Clark Rubber and the wire from bunings (put on a GQ).

I had a roo hit my back left. Managed to get a second hand from US 4x4 in Melbourne. There was a few to choose from (different amount of small stone damage) good as new when I sold it!
