Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Good luck Ben. You've got a much greater chance with a car you know how to drive, and having the time to go over it with a fine tooth comb. I can't believe how late some of the guys are leaving it to get cars finished, the Torchmate buggy for example springs to mind.

What do you do for a job mate to get all the time off? Do you normally fly economy or business? The novelty would wear off pretty damn quick having to fly economy over there each time.

I never bothered to get mine engineered, mainly cause I have a company car, so didn't need to bother driving it onroad. I think I only drove it a few kays onroad once it was sas'd.

I may be legal, but I suspect it'd be more hassle then it's worth here in QLD to do. There used to be a black swb ...

Nice result Dan, good way to farewell the Vit.....or maybe you'll keep it now

Mine had dual transfers, with a 1litre sierra transfer as the 2nd case. I had lux diffs with 5.29 gears. It had plenty of gearing, i ran 35's most of the time, but 37's were fine too. Double low 2nd gear was probably the most used gear offroad, and i'd just put the sierra case in high and leave the ...

Scenic Rim Rock Race (SRRR)
Rim Race (RR)
Scenic Rim Offroad Race (SROR)

or some variation of the above IMO

will mention this comp to a mate of mine who hasn't competed for a couple of years now

in reguards to no rego at lcmp in did see in the latest dirtcomp that these was a offroad race held there, so they would have raced unregoed.

There has been heaps of Unregistered Rock Crawling Comps held inside the park.

not for carnage canyon though :cry: , otherwise we woulda been back in the ...

OME Suspension lift
2 inch bodylift
Cut guards
F+R lockers
Toyota CV conversion
TT Undertaker or OTT Kicker 2
31-32's

that's what i'd be doing. Would be far cheaper than a SAS too and drive better as well

Sounds like a nice idea, the only problem I see is what if the owners break their vehicles during their 'own' time? Obviously they'd need to be fixed to compete/be used by the public on weekends, but what if the owner can't stump up the cash that week to pay for a new set of axles or whatever? It ...

few here, none of DJR though

i think the guy taking the pics really likes exo's and hilux's

will be driven on the road to go 4wding so a hour tops on road and mainly going to be doing comps money willing to spend 6K on the diff conversion will be running 35's maybe step up 2 a 37's later on

cheers

You said it won't be a daily, but you'll be driving it for an hour on the road to go ...

what are you going to do for gearing?

ps- buy a hilux, it'll be quicker, easier and worth more in the end


i don't want a hilux 2 start with and its my choice , gearing I'm putting reduction gears in dunno how much of a reduction tho.

cheers

you realise you'll have to drive around in low ...

In regards to the travel ramp, if you lift the front left off the ground is that then your finishing point? Because it didnt look like you had much left in "track" to keep all wheels on the ground!


that was gonna be my next question after Pete mentioned in his reply that the brace on the ramp ...

Just watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkHSYfqKAiw Holy shit thats awesome Pete Well done mate the poor little Vit has got no hope doin that shit :lol:

cool vid, hope he had those camera's on mounted on it on the rest of the tracks :cool:

did it end up lifting the rear right wheel, or ...

you're going to have to hack the shiat out of your firewall if you want to run that front diff in that position with 33 inch + tires on it

are there any pics of this mystery machine on the net? or is it top secret till the comp??

there is a kit to adapt the toyota front ifs shafts to suit the vitaras. one of the guys up here in queensland had one iirc.

cant remember of the top of my head what company made it though

Mine was great when it had 30's and a rear locker. once i went to 32's with heavy rims and tried harder tracks it'd break cv's and rear axles on command almost.

I'd suggest getting a swb model, run the OME lift, and get some 30's or 31's under it. A rear locker makes a world of difference too

I was watching the Australiasian Safari dvd last night, and they showed the BF Goodridge guys changing tires. They had a setup I'd never seen before. Looked like a 10L airtank, hooked up to a large ball valve, with a wide flat nozzle (like a tire iron shape almost). They sat the nozzle against the ...

how big are they? could possibly replace them with some johnny joints, they're rebuildable too-

that lwb is fawkin nice

if you really want power in a sierra, put a rotary in it. it'll fit easy, and big power is possible.

it's a stupid idea, but not as stupid as a gen3 or aurion motor

cheapest way (as with any vehicle) is to buy it secondhand already built

exhibit A - http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic153710.php

i reckon it'd be great. carry a couple of trailbikes in it, use it at the beach camping, and still drive alright on the road

how much was it?

highly recommend this comp. was great fun when we competed last time

i drove it saturday and it still got off the line plenty fast enough, much quicker than my 04 V6 petrol lux. they're both manuals by the way...

yeah, Ive cut out bit more than that and did some panel modification inside the guards too. works an absolute dream now.

By the looks of that pic, he might still rip the front bumper off when the suspension travels upwards as it dont look like he cut enough.

before I fitted me arb bar, i too had ...

well my mate ended up going with 285/75R16 MTZ's on Dick Cepek rims. They're very bling, but needed a bunch of clearancing in the front to clear



what got cut out
