Outer Limits 4x4 Board

reading this... and thinking that the std Toyota wheels are 15x7JJ with a -8 offset, it should actually be possible to have the 33's without them sticking out then? If I understand correctly the greater the 'minus' figure is for the offset, the more the wheels stick out??

Thanks folks.

Thinking about it further, I'll either end up with 32x11.50x15 or graduate to 16" and put 285's on.... that way they won't stick out but still be larger than 31's which is what i'm after.

Hi All,

just wondered if anyone has run the above size tyre on their 4Runner/Surf? If so, does it stick out beyond the fiberglass arches? - as this is something I want to avoid.

Thank you!
Harv.

As per the title really? I know the TD27 will bolt right up to the Z24i tranny as will the KA24E. But, I've just come across a KA24DE engine in good nic for a good price and thus wouldn't mind doing the swap from my Z24 engine to the KA24DE... it'll seem like a powerhouse by comparisson... 160bhp to ...

Am I right in also thinking that not enough oil in the car will drop oil pressure? If so, it might seem a simple question but, have you checked you put in the same amount or a little more oil into your car than you drained out of it? Just trying to cover all bases for you on this one.

Vsicks Pathy,

your reply interests me... I'm new to the WD21 Pathy. In fact so new that even though i've owned it for a year, i'm yet to drive it... my car being in Oz whilst I'm in the UK... but that'll soon change as it's due to land in Blighty on Nov 15. I digress...

...I thought I understood ...

Hi Dzltec, thanks for your response. Unlike the newer engines, I didn't think it was possible to up the boost on these older style indirect injected diesels. So i'm wrong. What amount would it be possible to safely up the boost by?

Hi folks,

I've done a search on the TD27T engine and can't see anything relating to mods on it, aside from chipping the TD27Ti...

..I've driven a Terrano II 2727T and thought it very underwhelming. But this vehicle weighs 500kg more than my WD21 Pathfinder... so I am considering putting this ...

with the exception of rear leafs as opposed to coils, I think the front suspension on these is the same as the WD21 Pathfinder [what I have], save for the length of the torsion bars.

I have a mate who's just bought a large motorhome/winnebago with a 350k nose/tongue weight. He needs a stronger tow vehicle than a Disco as he's been told the weight will sh*t the polyair bags. I've suggesteed a Landcruiser 80 series with extra heavy duty springs.

My question is... with the tongue ...

Sounds like a d22 zd30 (3 lt TD) with 5spd.
115kw 304nm Goes great!
Similar to the patrol motor with different turbo.

I've read plenty of horror stories about the 3lt TD in the Patrol... I'm wondering if you've heard/read/come across similar problems with this engine in the Navara?

Not knowing my engine codes from bar codes of the engine codes listed, what engines [codes listed] were actually from the more modern Navara's and [if not] I wonder if any would fit? I ask because i've just bought a '86 Pathy and was considering an engine swap myself from the Z24

you should look up ironman's website for specific details re: their kits for their vehicles. They are quite comprehensive in what they show.

I've had ironman on my LC 70 series with their foamcell shocks and was very impressed with them. However, on austrlian forums, before i bought my set, I ...

Harvey,
with the pro comp shocker you have to faff about with different bushes to get it to fit. the iron man kit went on straight away.

the procomp type were to bouncy for everyday use, the iron man springs are stiffer apparently.



I too had the problem you mention on the bushes of the procomp ...

Revnkev another question for you... I really like what you've done to the rear cargo area. This be great for me as it'd not only help with storage but seperate the dogs when they accompany us. So... did you do this yourself or buy the set up? If you did it yourself do you have any step by step ...

Hi all, I've seen a lot of the steel model of this bar on your Paj's and really like the look of them. But, in the UK, I'm told they only sell the ally version of this bar. So I'd like to know if any of you have the ally version and whether or not, if you had the choice like I do, you'd by the ally ...

Markyd what makes you feel that Ironman are way superior to procomp? Procomp springs [from Procomp explorer - where we both know the club shop gets them from] are made by dobinsons springs in Australia. So torsion bars and rear springs are comparable. As for the shocks... correct me if i'm wrong but ...

mate your tjm bar... is it alloy or steel? And, what's your opinion of the quality of it say versus the ARB offering.... I ask as I'm considering one myself.

A link to a very friendly forum - I'm a member :) - and a very helpful forum. They have a club shop, a great deal for Procomp suspension lifts [which actually use dobinson springs] and they'll help you with any queries. So my suggestion would be to log on ...

I used ironman foam cells on my LandCruiser and thought them to be excellent. Also had pro comps on my Patrol and they were very good too. As for my Monty I'm going to go with the ProComps again purely because their whole suspension package is approximately 1/2 price of the ironman and they're just ...

Maybe i'm wrong on this [I'm willing to be corrected!] but I think most folks issues with rubbing on larger tyres is to a great extent to do with the width? What if you tried skinnier tyres like a 33x10.50 or 33x9.50? As for legalities/engineering... I'm in the uk and couldn't comment.

In my opinion they're great both on road and off. As for reliability, I haven't heard of anything troublesome here in the UK. And, Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman used one for their Long Way Round trip through Khazakstan, Mongolia, Siberia etc.... which, given some of the terrain they went through ...

Raul, is that a genuine warn winch bumper for your Monty?

Hello mate,
I can't comment on the reliability of the engines for large milages as mine's only done approx. 180,000 km. But the price does seem high to me. My 2.8tdi 1996 Paj cost me $6,700 with 160,000km on the clock. And it was in excellent condition too. So $11,000 bucks with 244 on the clock ...

i've personally felt that 3 D4 diesel didn't feel as gusty low down and thus would not be as good at towing. As such to me the D4 has felt 'tinnie' compared to the old 3.0TD in my KZJ70. But comparisson, although the torque graphs show a different picture, my old Toyota engine felt much better for ...

i had procomps on mine and thought them very good value for money and would recommend them. But, my lift was only 3" and not as high as yours. Though i understand procomp do have shocks for your lift.

Have just bought a Mio P30. It would appear to meet all of my needs with letting me run whatever offroad or onroad maps i want.

thank you all for your help

Harv.

I've got the D4 in my toyota. I prefer the older KZJ70 3.0TD if i'm brutally honest.

they're actually for a 96 NJ Paj. But as from past experience the most communicative/busy part of outerlimits is the Nissan forum i thought i'd ask the question within this area. Hope no one minds.
