Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Only ST and Ti models have 7 seats, and I'm not 100% sure that the DX models come with petrols, so you maybe limited to those variants. Having owned a 1998 4.5l GU ST, I can say that they're probably what you're after. They are sluggish, but for general beach work and around town duties, will suit p...

Mine has used a little oil since I changed to 5W-30, got 165k km's. IMHO I think its too thin, but I ran 15W-50 which I thought was way too thick and made it run slightly rough. The manual does specify 10W-30, and 5W-30 for Europe/European conditions only. Can go as high as 20W-50 in hot conditions ...

...trying to get some feedback from someone who has actually done a SAS in a 100s. I dont think they can be done at all because of said chassis differences. The chassis's are alot skinnier on the IFS models compared to the live axle models and this in turn cause alot of strife trying to get decent ...

Whats your budget? Will you need to take spares etc all the time? Passengers?

Yep ;) Much better looking then your normal sunnies. :cool: Who makes them and where do you get them from? Ask for Ryano :D http://www.fourbys.com.au/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3 Still no details on these rims. And no, I'm not that keen that I'm going to ring Ryan, but it would be n...

Just to extend this a little further... Did the manual and auto 1HD-FTE 100's have the same power figures as one another? i.e. Was the engine de-rated at all to suit either box? Thanks. I dont think so, they are both pretty robust. "Seat of the pants" performance will obviously vary howev...

It will only hurt the turbo in the long run wont it? Read somewhere about someone running 20 pound in a 12ht with a different turbo setup. 14psi is the boost limit that Toyota set for the "overboost" light. As mentioned, its only a pressure switch, so its only telling you that the turbo i...

the Diesel 105 series has the r151 the turbo diesel 100 has the h150 R151 = poo / hilux box H150 and h151 biggest toyota box the h150 are behind the v8turbo cruiser utes and troopys as well Can the Tuff H150 box be slotted straight into the 105 1HZ 100 series ????

H150/H151.

N/A 100's got R151F's I think.

I am nearly finished building my rear bar and spare wheel carrier, I was wondering what does everyone use to keep them latched on and also has anyone got an idea on how to latch the wheel back while the door is open so it won't hit me or the door if it is a little windy etc. I like Destaco Latches,...

No dashlight relay, check taillight relay.

leaky vacuum hose somewhere?

Not sure if it has any relevance, but I work in the steel game, and once imported a batch of mild steel from china. One of clients specified that we do not give them components made from chinese steel, as it has a higher carbon content and therefore is somewhat weaker than stuff made by other countr...

My first car 89 HJ61 Sahara, 1st week of ownership.....ready for some TLC :armsup: . 2 years on and a bit of time and effort she looked like this. Just before she was replaced 2 years ago for my current 80 series :cry: What bar is this off? 80 series? Mate its a The Dakar deluxe winch bar for the 6...

There is a guy on the A4WDA forum (who's name escapes me) that also claims 900-1000klm's per standard tank, which I too thought was a bit extreme.

I can only manage 600km per tank on the highway, with an auto.

Are you selling these crozza? If so, are you able to do 24V ones too?

I need several of these for a rocker switch panel i'm making

I dont think you're allowed to have a rear-ward facing light that can be switched from the dash. Best having a switch at the back of the cab that operates the relay, as well as connected to the reverse switch in parallel. I have two small spotties hooked up to my reverse switch, then a little 24V fl...

Mine blows a little white/blue smoke until it warms up, then its pretty clean. I have a slight leak around my turbo, and still dont consume enough to top it up between changes. I have heard that if you're running high boost (15psi+) that blow-by increase and therefore so does oil consumption. Also b...

Nice idea. Ive just put vt calais seats in the front of mine, with the idea of putting some kind of cooler or a small fridge if i can find one that size. Those commodore seats made it so much more comfy to drive. You got pics of how you mounted to floor and brackets. Cheers x2. I've been looking at...

maybe hydrolic lock on the brake pedal like in a old jeep could work
i have looked at it . it could be done or just keep adjusting it weekly

Handbrake has gotta be separate to normal brake system doesn't it?

Hey all, When changing from an auto behind a 1FZFE to a manual, does the crossmember and tailshafts need to be changed? or are they the same. Thanks Steve Not 100% on 80's gear, but I do know that when doing a 60 series auto to manual conversion, the tailshafts and crossmembers from the manual are ...

could be a dodgey regulator rectifier,my fj60 did the same thing,burnt out the fusible links ,even blew a few fuses,the alternator was over charging on revs,battery light stayed on after starting thats spot on whats wrong with my 60, i also blew out 2 starter motos because of the power problem Ditt...

Just get a new compressor to suit, and change the coil from your old compressor to the new one. Pretty easy to do. would i be better off getting the compressor rebuilt or forking over the $$$ for a new one and changing the coil? trying to get this sorted before summer as i'm going north and did the...

Howdy,

My A/C compressor just siezed on my HJ61 Import Sahara and I was wondering what the go is with finding a replacement seeing as the Imports run 24V electrics? Can off-the-shelf comps run off 24V?

Any input appreciated.

Cheers.

I've done mine myself (with a lot of help from a mate) and it has cost probably $800 in just steel and welding gear. So you look at labour on top of that and you're in for at least $3k I would think? Theres an aweful lot of cutting and grinding to do on this job. By the way Chris Richter from KJ's ...

soz for the hi-jack fella's, but how much is it roughly to convert a patrol to a ute?

i'm looking at converting a gq wagon to a dual-cab unless i can find one thats already done at a decent price

cheers

in summary kamo buy a massey ferguson

hey kamo have a look at this site mate

http://www.fseries.info/

has some pretty decent info in regards to towing n that. also i looked on the ford aus site n saw that the 4x4 F250 and 7.3l have been dropped from the range.

7.3l diesel is probably the best for towing, but i've read that injectors can sometimes be up to $5000 each

i dont know if the tow rating is as high as 5 ton, last time i heard it was roughly 4.5 ton.

read exploroz the effies have a mixed reception on there
