Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A mate of mine has a FJ40 with power steering, the steering box is positioned in the same place as it is on the BJs. So the easiest way would be to source one of these boxes and a pump and bolt it on.
The best way would be to covert to 60s p/s, it is a stronger box and because it is mounted on the ...

Yeah i dont think it will matter to much either,
thanks for the reply

About 100mm in from the outer axle oil seal on both sides of a a 40s front diff housing is a circular plate thing. It has three holes around it, one on either side and another at 90deg to the 1st two. My question is does the odd hole go to the top or the bottom. When i tapped them out they were ...

I have a landcruiser and it has "valve type breather things" on the diffs and the gearbox so i was going to take these out run my hose to a higher point and put the "valve type breather thing" back in the end of the hose, this valve thing will stop any water from going in but allows air to go in and ...

Those of you that have done it, didn't you have probs with the opening link that goes from the handle to the latch?
My doors are off a 83 BJ42 these might be differen im guessing??

I dont think you will find anyone that will do it because there is a metal link inside the door that joins the door handle to the latching mechanism so you can open the door. The problem with it is that it pokes up past where you would chop the door off.
I have just cut my doors down and found this ...

thats where the 60 box is in a 60 isnt it? on the rail? do you have to get shit like that checked and get a mod plate?

Bloody hell! I didnt think it would improove approach angle that much thats heeps good.
Another thing i wanted to know about yours is where did you mount your 60s power steering box? They have a different bolt pattern than the 40s ones. I was going to make up an adaptor that went from the 40s ...

I would ring Repco or Auto 1 or some where because in their books that tell them what timing belt fits what it sometimes says if the engine is free spinning or not.
Being a diesel there is very very little room between the pison and the head at TDC but you never know, if the cam stoped turning just ...

I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on shakle reversal?
Do you think that its always better to have the shakle behind the axel?
I currently have the body off my 83 bj so if I hear that its the way to go i'll do it now rather than later.
Does anyone know if its leagal in QLD?
I ...

So are the tyres stickin out the side of the guard? meaning you would have to do some choppin to be able to run them

Are those tyres on 8 inch rims?

How are they on the front ben?

If they clear the front ok, i have a set of 60s rear springs which are longer and higher that i could run on ...

Well Murray you cant really complain about that for tyre wear. Its amzing how people can have so different opinions. I was talkin to a fella at a tyre place and he was spinnin me some story about the new BFG's havin a different compound or somethin and tellin me they wear real fast but he wasnt a ...

i meant, what did you do to the arse of it?
you know, were its all banged in

Oh yeah and has anyone else heard that you only get bout 40 000 out of a set of BF Goodrich AT's.
this would seriously upset me if i bought them and then found this out

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into the Hankooks and the goodyears.
I think the hankooks suggested where RF04's are the RF03's pretty much the same coz i know of somewhere i can get a good deal on them, but they might be gettin a little roadie
what did you do to your car bj?
i have 60s ...

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this tyre. I havent seen one yet, are the on par with a BF Goodrich AT as in tred aggresivness goes? or are they more of a road fourby tyre?
thanks

Just wondering if anyone knows if a set of 33x12.5x15 in tyres will fit under a standard hight bj42?
Will they rub with suspension flex?
I dont want to go choppin into gaurds at this stage.
Also what are your thoughts on the BF Goodrich AT looks good to me what sort of klm's could i expect?
is ...

Brad did you just move the axle forward or did you move the axle and spring forward?
thanks

Oh i see!
That makes sense.

What would be the advantage of that?

Also i would like wooders to explain in a bit more detail why he thinks double clutching wears the syncros out faster?
You agree that double clutching was the only way to downshift in the old days without crunching. So from this, one could say that by double clutching you are efectively doing what ...

Hey Bart,
now that you have said that it only happens when the car is cold it is possible that your gearbox oil is a touch too thick.
I once had a case with a car gearbox, we might have been replacing the clutch or something i cant remember what we were doing actually but we changed the oil in the ...

What are reversible spring shackles?
cheers
