Outer Limits 4x4 Board

You can get more power without spending any money. First though you need to install an EGT guage. Many of us have fitted these: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; With the EGT installed, and a big hill, you can tune the pump ...

The MQ case is already divorced AFAIK??? GQ or GU can also be divorced???

Hans-On-Exhausts - Albany Highway Kenwick.

Hans does good work. Made me a 3" mandrel exhaust and custom dump pipe for a good price.

He only accepts cash payment.

Well set up RA suspension will give good manners on and off road. Have a look at the Disco 2 which has RA + Panhard front and RA +Watts link rear. HOWEVER - RAs really limit wheel travel offroad a LOT. This is because of binding at the axle end when the axle tries to rotate relative to the RAs ...

This stuff works REALLY well, and unlike most other options mentioned, lasts a long time and is easy to apply.

I used it on all the external plastics on the landie and it has lasted years in the sun.

There are a few around. (including a couple of threads on here)

However don't think it will cost you less than an engine conversion.

Slipped liners on a 3.9V8.

But apart from a few small differences they are basically a funny (/nicer) looking rangie.

Replacing seals will not fix a leaky box. Usually they leak because of worn shafts etc... When my 4-bolt was worn and leaky, I replaced it with a late D1 box from a wrecker. Cost $220, and has done heaps of km and plenty of hard trips without leaking. A D2 box would be an even better option if you ...

If you really want to run a welded diff, then I have a much easier option for you. Simply remove one axle/halfshaft when on the road and replace it with a plank drive flange (basically an axle with the axle chopped off). It is only 5 bolts, you don't even need to drain the oil. (landie axles are ...

I can reccomend super-pro polyurethane bushes. IME they flex as well or better than the holey bushes, and last longer. I bought some rubber bushes from MR Auto (which they said were "OEM Quality" and "from the same manufacturer as OEM" and one failed after ~1500 km. I have since changed all bushes ...

Dynacam was another aviation engine along similar lines but using a "wobbleplate" and longitudinal cylinders. Treestump pulling torque at 2000 rpm, 2600 max rpm, idle at 200 rpm, only a couple of dozen moving parts in total. Google it, the company lost everything and sold the patents for something ...

I've been using it for 13 years now. It works, gets the job done and has good functionality. 2D DXF's are pretty basic, even free cad packages can do that. 3D DXF can't be done by solidworks directly though, I use a third party program for situations where a 3D DXF is necessary. The bug count and ...

... but I would think some dyno graphs with as much actual hard data would help overcome the almost smoke and mirrors situation.....

Yes. There are a few minor differences, like radius arm bush widths - however '91 may still be the narrow bushes.

Sounds like you would make the most money if you wreck it. The whole car repaired is maybe worth ~2k depending on condition. You should be able to sell the locked axles for ~1k disc-disc, so anything on top of that is a bonus. Engine, box and t-case won't be worth a huge amount, but not worthless ...

That's what I would have thought as the wraps around the drum do most of the securing. Same goes for wire rope. The crimp on eyelet or grub screw is only to stop the cable/rope falling off if you accidentally wind it out too far. I once had to respool a wire rope onto a winch that was about 40 cm ...

My Tigerz winch came with a lug on the end of the rope, which is screwed to the side of the drum using a countersunk screw.

Unobtanium X-infinity is by far the best material to use, but it is a bit hard to find on this side of the galaxy. Failing that, 250MPa structural pipe from somewhere like OneSteel will do the job, just make sure it is large enough. Strength comes from diameter, not wall thickness. You just need the ...

My preference would be a Land Rover 120 ute. Made from 1984-1990. Not common, and the body may be a bit rough, but they have the best drivetrain of all your options IMHO. 3.9L 4cyl isuzu direct injection diesel (bulletproof). The rest of the drivetrain is stronger than later models as well. http ...

Probly is illegal but there is no way of testing it yet unless the cops get emission sensors issued? Very easy to test: (1) black smoke where there should be none. (2) a straight through pipe or hollow sounding pipe where there should be a DPF. I am sure the performance will ge great even with the ...

Would those filters work well on a non turbo petrol engine?

yes

Not advocating using it but cage strength is more dependant on design than material IMO. Or rather it is a function of design and material strength. You can make a cage just as strong using 250MPa tube as 350MPa tube if you take the material strength into account in your design. Btw - I have seen ...

This may help with terminology (taken from a US forum): DOM is a process drawing over a mandrel and through a die. It can be with a ERW electric resistance welded hollow or a seamless hollow, your seamless hollow desctiption is correct. CREW stands for Colled Rolled Electric Weld and can be drawn ...

its not cheap $35 Per L for the 75W/80 Syntrans No - certainly not cheap. However IME you can extend the change intervals as long as there is no water contamination. I last changed my gearbox oil 12 months and over 35000km ago. I have done the canning, gibb river, nullarbor plain, etc, etc, and the ...
