Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If you find out for sure let us know.
I have a Prado and would like to put 4.88's from a hilux in, put no one can tell me 100% if the hilux centre will bolt straight in or vise versa.

Hi, the Transfer case is great, just a few leaks that i'll fix for the RWC.
I've just bought a Prado, since i don't get off road much and the mrs's wanted something newer.
I'll be sad to see the Rangie go. Apart from a few small incidents she's been a great truck.
Do you want to buy it Matt???

Buy mine
It's in the For Sale section.

If you want to run standard rims, i run 265/75 16's on a 2" lift. They only rub on radius arm on full lock. No grinder needed.

I've had them on my Rangie for 10 months. Great tyre for the money. In nearly 20,000km they have warn from 17mm tread to 12mm. I paid $170ea for 265/75-16. I'd buy another set.

there's some info on this on www.d2au.com

Yeh, i paid $2300 for a zf, lt230 and all the bits delivered. It's all from a disco that's only done 50,000km. Arrives monday!!! Then the fun begins

I've just bought a zf and lt230 complete with all the extra bits for the conversion from TriumphRover in SA.
Any tips regarding removal of old transmission and fitting new one?

What should i do with the console? Just cut it back or???

Hi ADAM, did you do your conversion?
I'm about to to the same and was wondering if you had any extra advice on top of the help from others?

I went up to Mt Dissapointment on Saturday and destroyed my rear diff in my '89 Rangie. I'm looking at buying a detroit locker in a Rangie diff housing. The guy has been running JMac 24 spline axles. So the question is can i run standard disco 24 spline axles? Is the hub the same as the origional 10 ...

Thought it would be interesting to see how much clearance under the diffs everyone has. So tell us what you drive? What tyres you run (size & make)? How many mm of clearance you have (at road pressures)? I have an '89 Rangie and i run 265/75-16 (32") Nankang Mudstars. I have 245mm of clearance under ...

I'm not ready to do it just yet. My rear diff is making lots of bad noise and i'm just waiting for something to break, so i want to do as much research and planning now so when it goes i know what do do. I don't want to waste money on fixxing the standard diff when they are useless. I use the Rangie ...

Does anyone know someone in Melbourne apart from Macnamara that will do a toy conversion, i have no idea when it comes to diffs and need help with the work. Macnamara quoted $1300 for front and rear axles $400 ish for each diff centre ( price from a few wreackers) $1500 for labour aprox Does $3600 ...

Hi, im starting to plan what to do with my diffs in '89 Rangie so i can run 35's. After reading what many of you have done, i was thinking of using a GQ in the front and 80 series in the back? Will this work? Will the track be the same? Also does anyone know someone in Melbourne who could do the ...

My rear diff in my '89 Rangie is about to die, so im looking at puting another diff in. Can i put a 24 spline diff from a series 1 disco in? Will it just bolt in or do i have to fabricate anything? Also is it worth spending the extra money on a 24 over a 10 spline? I would like to put in an air ...

along the same lines, what preperation do i need to do to respray my rangie. Its red and i just want to respray it the same color so i dont have to worry about insides of doors etc. Overall the paint is ok , just very fadded and warn as red becomes. Do i just wash it and spray?

I have an '89 Rangie that i had converted last year by Smithy's in Bayswater. The boss Terry is the best mechanic i have ever come accross. He really knows his cars and his Rangies. I paid $2200 for a tank in the back. Go for it and start saving $$$

i had same problem as A.D.A.M, i was running 245/70 with my 2" lift and it was ok, as soon as on put the 265/75 on it was all over the road. I went the castor bushes. Wanted to rotate swivells but ran out of money. IMO save and rotate the swivells.

sounds like i might leave them stuck or maybe pull them out backwards and get them to reverse through the bog hole so i can recover them backwards!!!
Recovery points are such a basic reqirement, but its good to look at the likely possibility that you will come across someone without them.

Im planning a trip out with a few newby's to 4wding. A Pajero, Prado etc. If i have to recover them and they don't have a proper point at the front what do i hook the snatch strap on to? On a live axle you can get away with wraping the strap around the axle, but what do you do with a IFS?(other than ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, every time i go offroad lately i get stuck in a mud hole. Traction is never a problem, its the diffs that get hung up. So im thinking that instead of going down the diff lock road at the moment, that i go for some ...

i didnt think the M/P was a retread.
How is it different to a E/T or JTII?

Who is using Pro Comp Shocks?
What do you think?
How do they compare to bilstiens, koni etc?
4WD STUFF can supply at a great price, but i would like a bit of feedback from those of you who use them.
Thanks.

thanks.
What length are standard length Rangies shocks?

I currently have a 2" lift and need new shocks. Can i put in a 1" coil spacer and uses some longer shocks, to get a 3" overall lift? If so who makes longer shocks? I'm on a tight budget and have only recently put in the new springs, but since fitting 32" tyres would like a bit more lift and as i ...

if they are the JMac then TJM should be selling a model for Landrovers since that is what JMac specialise in.

Hi i want to fit 265/75-16's on my '89 Rangie. It has a 2" lift. Will the rub on the body etc. Some say yes, others say no. Has anyone got this size on a rangie? Do you have any pictures would be great . Thanks
