Outer Limits 4x4 Board

up front can you not just run toy centre, jacmac 30 to 23 spline shafts and ashcrofts cvs? seems like the biggest faff is at the cv end and now that ashcrofts can supply a rover specific cv of similar strength to the longfield it is probably not worth the bother of converting to toy cv's. that leave...

the spare wheel on the blue rangie...
who makes those wheels? i keep seeing them on aussie rovers, but i've never seen them in the uk.

hmm, maybe i'm speaking when i dont really know the circumstances, but i think a front mount air to air is the way to go or at least a good alternative. there's some pics of my front mount here... http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=7909 (might have to log in) trouble is that's with a little...

what's wrong with the sals in the back?

see if this works http://img34.imagevenue.com/loc543/th_14829_1PICT1918_122_543lo.JPG http://img22.imagevenue.com/loc564/th_14835_1PICT1919_122_564lo.JPG http://img153.imagevenue.com/loc501/th_14849_PICT1923_122_501lo.JPG http://img153.imagevenue.com/loc409/th_14867_PICT1925_122_409lo.JPG

sorry a bout the pics, i was being lazy and just linked them from another forum. was working for me yesterday, but not today it seems. i was sure you used to be able to attach piccies here, i have done in the isuzu bit of the forum before, but i dont see any option to do so as i type in this window....

i can scan the instructions i got with mine if you like. i bought the exhaust downpipe at the same time for £65 as i was getting help installing it at someone else's house and didn't want to be foolign around fabbing exhausts. you could make your own if you wanted though. . A scan of the instructio...

interesting to hear from someone with two lawns. 4jb1's are really cheap here, as the troopers (bighorn, not sure what the holden derivative is) they are in rust to hell. i got a whole car for £100, adapter cost much more than the actual engine, but if it ever goes wrong big style then its cheap to ...

Just do it, the kit is cheap for an engineered product. Don't forget if you get someone to make you a one off, it'll cost about the same if not more. I sometimes wonder if I should've used a 4jb1T JC and then you get a pinch and told to stop dreaming :P i think i'd prefer a 4bd1 as i'd like more po...

try www.engineconversions.co.uk that's who i got my kit from, they are cheaper than m&d. andy is your man there. i think they used to be milner conversions or something. m&d's main business is 2.8 powerstrokes these days i think rather than jap engine conversions. With the price of rusty dis...

woo, 38's http://www.pangolin4x4.com/pangolin4x4/projects/ultimateaxle/swampers.jpg http://www.pangolin4x4.com/pangolin4x4/projects/ultimateaxle/ultimateaxle.html# there's the context i presume in order for the wheel to travel anywhere there might be some trimming involved. dave, did you have to cut...

Hmmm, not familiar with the A518, but the 318 is a common enough motor over here, not in Jeeps though. Most of ours got the wheezing 4 litre and the fuel guzzling tree puller 360. If the A518 is a Chrysler origin 'box, I wonder if the A727 output housing etc would fit, allowing the adaption of the ...

what are your thoughts on trying a tf727 behind it? rover one would bolt sraight up. only trouble as i understand is that the rover ones didn't get such beefy internals as dodges, however there seems to be a huge aftermarket for them, with overdrive or gear splitters available. they dont come with ...

http://www.stage1v8.org.uk/phpBB2/index.php? check that out i've not searched for a post on it or anything, but it will be a good source of info. i think it will be pretty much a case of adding defender components, column, box, pump. main issue with putting standard rover stuff in a series is a big ...

Navigator!!!!!!!! And they're Pro Rock 60's :cool: JF ah, i saw it at the highland show on the redpath tyres stand. was initially intrigued by the sizeable krawlers on it and beadlockers so went to have a closer look. i presumed the driver was very optimistic or very good to be running rover axles ...

you don't happen to have an association with duns and a yellow ibex running d60's do you?

sorry not for a project or anything, just out of curiosity. what is considered to be the daddy of front axles running cv's. maybe an unanswerable question, but hey. most of the us ones i've seen are running uj's from the comfort of my armchair i've read of 101 sals axles having monster cv's and pres...

it will be a 6 bolt then :p appeared in uk 90's/110's in the late 80's certainly. not sure about rangies though. not terribly uncommon, just less common than the 4 bolts. can still get recon ones fine. i think manual boxes may have been pretty similar, but i threw mine in the bin some time ago and c...

If anyone wants details on adjustments, let me know. JC hell yeah :armsup: i have one of these in my 110 as we dont seem to get proper sized diesels here. to fill out abit more info. i recently replaced my fuel tank so was able to get pretty accurate mpg (it ran out of fuel on the forecourt of the ...

Hey Ben, I spoke to Dickyjoe tonight re the Rangie axles and apparently they DON'T have the calipers on them! He had bought them with the idea of doing the same thing we have talked about but thought it impossible - subsequently by telling him it was he has decided he might just keep them now anywa...

i have seen 2 4bd1s in lro over the years in pommyville, one was in a genuine pirenti (wide cab one) and the other was in a rangie. the rangie bloke was selling conversion kits. Dont ask me to dig it up, i have most lro mags since 91, and i wouldnt know where to start. Andrew yeah i'm sure they can...

ach, so jealous.

wish we got 4bd1's in britain.

i have to make do with the 4jb1 instead :(

interesting article. i am pondering air filters/housings for my 110 that i have just put an isuzu 4jb1 td engine into. at the moment its running the filter setup that was in there already, from a normally aspirated 2.5 diesel. this was maybe oil bath (i'm not really sure what that means) as it had a...

i have downloaded and printed al the manuals now and shall get back to work tomorrow as i'm finished uni now for summer. in my absence the engine has been running, so hopefully it shouldn't be long. i shall take my camera along and get some pictures too. had a good look at those manuals and they are...

thanks dani tdi's are only stock on newer landies, mine is 1987 engine i have has no turbo, its a bit older then the tdi's and they tend to explode when mated to a turbo. tdi engines are very expensive and troopers rust here quite quickly so they can be picked up cheap, mine cost me about US$180. th...

seems the land rover pic got chopped off, here it is again

hopefully with the new isuzu engine it sould be able to tackle those hills a bit better. all a bit of a struggle with the landie engine at the moment.

thanks for the links do they cover the 1st generation trooper at all, as that's what i have. here's some piccies for you ,the removed engine, trooper without its engine, land rover without its engine ans the landrover when out playing. not sure how the attachments go on this board, shall see what ha...

hi, my name's callum and i live in edinburgh (scotland) i primarily own a land rover, but i suppose i also own a trooper (jackaroo i think you know them as) which is a bit of a wreck, but donating its engine to my land rover. to help with this conversion, i'm looking for a wiring diagram for the tro...
