Outer Limits 4x4 Board

All, My dad has a 2010 Prado Deisel (new shape). He's getting a computer issue were 3 warning lights come on, he says no other issues are obvious. Toyota are saying "need to replace a blocked SGR valve that is triggering warning lights". Google search shows no such thing as a SGR valve. Lights ...

Yep, have 4 of them

Nope Western Sydney

ZD30's are ok but make sure you get 2003 and up. lower the km the better and full service history.

Gotta say ARB really went overboard with the engineering. How's this !!! Standard tow bar mounts with 3 chassis bolts each rail, two small bolts up under cross members (Total 8 bolts) ARB has, get ready for this :) 3 chassis bolts each rail, two small bolts up under cross members (As stock towbar, 8 ...

Thanks GU Tripper, great to know I'm not the only one

As suggested by Bordertek on Patrol4x4 I put a nice curve in those corners to prevent cracking, bar slid straight on now it was trimmed. only held on by the 4 bumper bolts, will bolt in properly later on with 10 more bolts. Then the side support braces and finally lights. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn ...

Well trimmed the bar, waiting for paint to dry for a 2nd coat and fingers crossed, dry enough this afternoon for another go. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/313125_10150365181898282_546833281_8367136_2049913527_n.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/380270 ...

2nd hand good to hear these type of comments , thanks

Started fitting the ARB rear bar to the GU today, after grinding of the tow hook, painting the rear crossmember finially got the bar into position on tyres and lined up. Called a mate over for the finial placement BUT it all went to crap. have a LRA long range tank and the ARB hits this tank. It ...

Question guys and gals,

On my 1972 G60 Patrol, do I technically need sway bars installed for blue slip ? compliance only has 3 numbers and sway bars wernt one of them ? Can anyone share some light.

Steve

I've already decided in my case to remove it and chop guards. Just dont want my truck going through engineering, so easier this way and without the cost. Who knows it may go back in th future (legally) but I'm a lazy bastard so probally all to hard.

Since posting above, I called RTA and he said YEP needs engineering. I guess I'm pullin it back out. I always hough 2" was legal. Stupid system

Yep tried searching but links were bad in bible, other threads not sure ? I just called my mechanic and asked if BL was legal (for my stock height G60 Patrol) an dhe thinks yes based on headlight height. Looking on RTA only found this http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsccs_exempt ...

LOL, thats were I bought it from on fleabay

Thanks Dan86 for the headsup

yeah, i pulled apart on the weekend for a look see. looks like I will need to drill holes through the chassis ino the cargo area. bigger issue is appears the tow bar goes above the exhuast which means I may need to remove the rear bumper. Was quite impressed with the interior plastic clips, push the ...

Hey all, I know it aint a 4wd but hoping someone may know. Bought a suzuki towbar to fit to my wifes swift but unsure how to access the top of the rear chassis for the mounting plates. Have been searching Swift forums but all teh rice burners only do cosmetic crap and not actual tool work. Thinking ...

Thanks All,

Finially was able to get it off today, bashing and turning, bashing , turning and finially she started to come off. All flipped now

Just went back out and tried hammering the flange bolts (with nut on) and no budge.

So if I leave the bolts inplace and try tapping all around I might be able to get the flanges to seperate ?

Hey All, Just went out to flip the rear tailshaft (TB48 Auto) However the gearbox end will not come off the transfer. Tried gently tapping with a 4LB mallet but no go ? Not to keen in using to much force as I know there balanced etc. Also the bolts at the gearbox end appear to be pressed in and cant ...

Ok i had had the ZD30 for 5 years and loved it, but I tow a 2.5t boat and was just getting sick of doing 60k per hour up hills. In the ZD30 I would get 18/19 towing and best towing was 15.5 at ¼ throttle all the way to Brisbane, If I really flogged it at 110km all the way fuel would be 20-21lph. I ...

A mate fitted 2 LRA tanks to his GU4 4.8. I know he was looking at plumbing it so both tanks pumped directly to the front of the car, but in the end did the transfer to main tank set up as he couldnt get it to work any other way. Maybe it was a fuel control/ECU issue that stopped this from working ...

Been doing alot of research and I can get LRA, Long Ranger and Brown Davis to replace teh rear stock 95L with a 147L. Reading up the sub tank was removed in around 2006 due to emissions. So for the front apparently Long Ranger have done one for the TB48 but nothing on their website. I called LRA ...

Hey All, Traded the hand grenade in at xmas for a 2010 TB48. Loving the power but need bigger tanks to drive further :) So questions on LRT's. As the new TB48's dont come with a sub tank and only the 95L rear tank what have others done ? I dont plan or wish to install LPG as plan on keeping this for ...

Well after a great 4WD at Sussex last weekend and being sick all week, came down to tidy up and bring the G60 home. However after taking the Simex off and moving the car I found out my fuel pump diaghram is leaking. After pulling it out to inspect it was leaking out the air holes. So pulling it ...

Simon,

Top stuff mate and thanks for the link, just been playing with it and it is quite good. I cab see myself spending all night on it

Thanks Again

Steve

PS- I worked from the ECU it's an Auto and I'm guessing 5 door

Hey All, I'm a Nissan man so not really clued on on Yota's. I have a uncle in Papua New Guinea with a 1994 Prado in need of parts. The 70 series Prado never came to Oz but a heap of Jap import in New Zealand. Talking with a Kiwi at work (4WD nut as well) he reckons most body parts will be ...

Well I bought a new coil and made no differnce. My therory was either the coil or EI so plan was to change to points. As I had nothing original left I sourced a carbie dizzy on Patrol4x4, slightly annoyed with OL as I read the WHOLE far sale wanted thread and wasnt given access.Even added the ...

At one stage trying to get mine running I wasnt sure I was getting fuel to the carbie, hence why i installed a new fuel source. As they say process of elimination. When you try and start her ? what exactly is happening ? if you remove the spark plugs, such a bitch on this engine :( are you getting ...

Cool will check the coil resistance, Its a GT40 so should be OK, but will check. Hopefully on teh weekend I can check over the timing and idle speed and fix it up. As the car had sat for 2 years before I picked it up thyis was the first time it was running. OIl light is now on so need to check that ...
