Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have run Cardo Scaler Q2 and never had any dramas with using them in comps...but when we us them on the bikes if we get on different sides of the shed they don't work, thats about 30 - 40 meters apart

I am now running Cardo Scaler G4, these have a few extra functions these don't suffer the same ...

The big difference with the Kincrome one is warranty!
If something does go wrong the will fix it.
Having said that I have a big 3 ton chinese one that I picked up in near new condition at a garage sale for $200 and it has been brilliant.
I have used it a number of times to pick a whole end of the ...

I am running a Currie Antirock bar on the back of my Lux.
They were very easy to deal with via Email and creditcard and just got it sent over.
Very good mod! It has made my front really work heaps better. It used to be just the rear (airshocks) that was flexing because it is a bit softer than the ...

Any motorbike repair shop can charge them as they have nitro for filling bike shocks.

I have a detroit that I thought was stuffed but now it was probbably just a CV.
Whats the go?
Chuck the centre in a vice and some axles in either side and then what?
Should the axle only turn one way and lock the other way?

Also has anyone got a good exploded diagram of a Hilux detroit locker?
I ...

I run the 39.5 Iroks on my Lux.
They are a freakin great tyre second only to the Sticky compound Trepadores and the like.

Looks like a simple solution.
P.S. that website just gave me a virus!

Tom I dont think you can really blame the tyres for all the damage.
The comp was just a hard mother farker.
And some of that damage was due to your heavy right foot!
Bloody hell you went quick through the mud.
Anyway if you reckon the tyres are to blame swap me for my half worn 39.5 Iroks.
Vid of ...

My Hilux 2.4 turbo diesel with the rear radiator cools just fine with the standard engine driven pump.
Im thinking when I fit up my 6.0L V8 chev though I will run an extra pump just to be sure.

Hey Jeff let me know how you get on with the custom shafts as Im thinking I may need to narrow one side of mine.
Even if I offset the rims it sits farken wide with the disc conversion.
Also if I narrow the short side on the front I can fit the diff around the motor a bit better.

One of my mates has built his own chassis out of RHS but it is because he is putting a Mini body over Hilux running gear with a coil sprung rear
I think it would be a farken stupid idea building one for a stock standard car when there are heaps of them laying around in wrecking yards.

This how I did the tray on my old IFS Lux.

Thanks all!

Im going to get some 18" travel shocks, n not sure whether to go for coil overs or air shocks. Was wondering if they are a sort of hydrolic shock but using air rather than oil (like the old style your talking about), so when one of my front tyres pop up I can push it back down in the ...

You can adjust the height of airshocks by changing the nitrogen pressure in them, but its not a change on the fly kinda thing, its a set when you fit them kinda thing.
They are generaly used for off road only projects but I believe they can be aproved if you have a good engineer.

My mate has an IFS Hilux with a 5LE diesel motor.
The axle code in the engine bay says A07B.
From what I can work out looking on Pirate 4x4 that means it has 3.9 ratio diffs but that doesnt sound right.
I thought diesels had either a 4.3 or a 4.56 ratio?
He has just fitted 33" tyres and want to ...

Here are some length of autos out of my research.

c4 432mm/17 inch
th350 553mm/21.75 inch
4L60E 556mm/21.9 inch
4L80E 590mm/23.23 inch
6L80E 590mm/23.23 inch
th700 594mm/23.4 inch
th400 619mm/24.37 inch
patrol auto 680mm/26.8 inch

If you get a th700 in the car, then you will get a 4l80e easy in ...

With no shocks on the back you will get major axle hop when you take off on a high traction surface.
Just go talk to Locktup4x4 and get some nice long Billsteins.

I have a Garmin MAP60CS (now a MAP60CSX) and it works awesome.
Very easy to use, robust and just works!
Doesnt have all the bells and whistles of some of the newer touch screens though.
See Johny Appleseed for all your Garmin GPS stuff.

While we are on this does anyone know the weight of a 2L Hilux diesel engine?

Will an 8" double ended ram be enough for a mog diff?

I recently just fitted a Currie Antirock swaybar to the rear of my Lux truggy.
I was having the same problem as you as my front is still leaf and the rear is airshocks so the front is a fair bit stiffer than the rear.
The cab would follow the front diff and the rear susp would do all the flexing ...

Bazzle

There was no indication that it had a swivel bearing problem until I pulled off the steering arm.
I reckon it was all held in place and working ok untill I pulled it apart anyway.

the axle is correctly seated, you didn't damage the c clip during assembly?

like I say to every one who posts on here with long questions, contact bobby
Axle seated correctly yep
Damage C clip nope
Will I contact Bobby yep :)
Just wondered if its happened before is all.
Dont get me wrong I am by ...

Michele wrote:He usually wants the CV first to check it out...
I'd disassemble the CV and have a look, then try and PM Bobby.
I presume the CV was well lubricated, correct?

Yeah well lubed with lithium moly grease.
Before I do anything I think I will pull the left side CV out and check t.

Direct

So I went for a bit of a drive in my Lux today and after mucking around in a few drains and rocks etc, a block from my house, I got a bit stuck
While I was trying to reverse off some rocks I noticed I had no drive to the front right wheel.
Oh well it gave me a chance to use the rear winch for a ...

I got mine from here

May I ask what sort of dollars you paid?

I have 4 x 170 lightforce lights that I run on a rack that I swap between the roof of my truggy and the bullbar of my tow rig.
I was playing in a river down the coast the other day with the tow rig and got water in one of the lights.
The reflector has gone completely black and is rooted.
Does anyone ...

I really like the sound of this race.
Pity I am a few thousand Kms away
Maybe next year I will have to get over east and try and and have a crack at TTC and this comp if it is up and running.
