Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Couple of years back 4wd Action (then 4wd Monthly) tested most big name brands
Interesting read if you can get a back issue

FWIW, surprisingly the Supercheap Autos blue strap was the best

Mount the strut 'over' the ram from clevis to clevis

You could also consider a switch to detect the rack in the UP position, so the lights can't turn on when they're not up - but that's probably getting silly. :)

A lot of quality industrial rams have magnets on the 'plunger' inside the bore
Simply attach reed switches to the side of the ram for ...

Just plumb each outlet of the cylinder to the tank via pneumatic toggle switch
You will need normally open and normally closed (DPDT in leccy talk) as the air need to vent when the switch is released.
Ones up, ones down
The ram will remain in whatever position relating to last button you press ...

What about gas strut one side to hold it up and down (and allow pop down if you hit something) and air on the other side to raise and lower it

then there is a pro formula which i dont have, which corrects for different ramp degrees, etc.

Anyone know of this formula?

are you running a hiclone or a fuel catalyst?

These will both effect the lift required

Take the globe out

Or as above check the door switches. Pop them out and make sure the crimplug is tight and not able to earth out on the body
You can get new switches from Jaycar for like 5 bucks

irreconcilable differentials

Just import a cab
Get a sierra chassis (carry and sierra chassis look very similar)
Lay the engine over (check in the link I posted above)
You got a carry with the good running gear (transfer, gears and wt locked diffs)

WOW

it's got air bags so it can drive the first layer too

I'm liking ya thinkin guys (saves me doing too much)

Got any more pics of the Sierra setup (2nd last pic) Joe?

Do these mount the transfer in standard position or did you raise the tranfer during the process?

PS: Joe how about some build up threads in Members, you do some awesome work and I would ...

Search NT to WT SOA
Basically the same but with SOA perches are on top as opposed to the standard position under the axle tubes

Literally a case of welding on new perches to suit the narrow track spring spacing

You will also need to replace the steering rod to WT as it will a little longer

I am not helping this time
That is one farking heavy gearbox

Not to mention the whack in the temple with a half inch drive ratched, ouch

Anybody going to the US soon and have room to bring a box back for me?

INPORTANT: You may need to make the hole for the transfer case stick larger
Because of the lift the body the stick now effectively has a longer movement where is goes through the floor
If you do not make it larger the stick may hit the floor when ther transfer 'flexes' and knock it out of gear

Steve.

Why is that Steve?

Just a guess, maybe because when mounted on a RHD the box sits in the original zook position (inside the chassis rail) and situates the pitman closer to the standard zook position.

Wet roads are not too good and more care needs to be taken.
And be prepared for everybody at service stations to stare at you. Tyres squeal when you drive on concrete or tight turns at slow speed
