Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am looking at buying a second hand 3.0 turbo diesel Jackeroo. It has approx 195,000km on the clock. The dealer tells me it has an oil leak that he is getting fixed. Is there anything that I should look out for and what is the typical life between major rebuilds for these motors?

You'd get better response posting in General Tech. Only people with odd trucks (like mine) visit here.

ARB are advertising winchbar for new Rodeos.

Man, how far away is the workshop?????

What do you call latish. Up to 2002 the real 4X4 Sportage had drums on the rear. From then on the new Sportage is full time AWD and all independant, but does have rear disks. Also it is the same car as the Hyundai Tucson.

Now I just have to find a rich uncle...

Thought you might say that.. Been planning similar. Might get a chance when they add another day or two to the week... eight days just ain't enough.

ARB can supply the AVM manual hubs. I run Wrangler 235/75 R15s on standard rims and do get rubbing on the rear shocks, but then so did the stock tyres. I have the 40mm Ironman lift and find it very firm especially on the front. But the handling is the same as standard. Steer clear of their shocks ...

Lookin' good. Where'd you get the front bash plate or is it home made?

you can run 30x9.5 with no lift on your orginal rims to

30x9.5 is pretty close to 235/75. I agree they will fit on stock rims under the guards, but I prefer the extra clearance of a lift when off road and flexing.

Someone told me yesterday (heresay) that U can now buy, at Bunnings,
an air tank/reciever setup with an airline and guage for $30.00
It suposedly looks like (for want of a better explanation) a medium
size BBQ gas bottle.

Very capable. Short body has better departure angle.

ADSL, if i had some ali clips i would have done that, will a test light work ?
i was sure it was red/ black before i cut the wires and i'm realy stumped why i cant get a tone and the bloody tech was suppose to be there at 3 today so i may have to rig it myself anyway.

If its a adsl line it ...

Glad to hear it's fixed. Especially as it broke trying to get me going again.

Thanks.

Ironman shocks are white, and they source some stuff from US. The're also in Melbourne.

Thanks zookjedi, see you Sunday morning.

Where you drunk when you put the plugs back together?

Do any one mind if you have a ring in. I dont get a very big response if I try to organise a Sportage gathering.


It starts with S.

How about these?

:roll:

it already has a 2.5 exhaust, boost controller, k&n air filter. it doesnt blow smoke. it has low kms, and drives fine. bit of a slug when there's traffic around but open road it goes good. up hills, it hauls in 2nd - hell even 4th. off the line its great. it also has a top mount ...

If you need to put it up on stands or ramps to get under it, you aint got a high enuf lift.

The new hubs are fitted and work a treat.

Now lower skirt on bull bar has a dint in it. Ah well.

Thanks for the post

ARB stock AVM hubs. $227 for a set for the Kia.

Should have them next week and will fit them the following weekend.

OK every one, I know, "I told you so". One front hub failed to lock.

So.. What manual hubs fit. Zute says they look a lot like early Pajero!

Can I pick up second hand units that will fit and how much should I expect to pay, or does ARB or some one have them off the shelf, how much?

Also after ...
