Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Not to sure on the 4bb1, but if it is close to the 4be1, d1 then maybe put a rover box in. Would make the conversion easier.

Have a look on the Australian Land Rover forum they know a bit about the isuzu engines.

Part No 1611

I should be doing something else, Crimp it, it will be more reliable than soldering. Why, solder joins as above in vechiles are prone to fraying. The solder is very rigid and movment in the cable will cause cracking at the egde of the joint. Heatshrink wont offer any additional strenght unless you ...

read on here that a leaf SAS can be engineered in QLd

I have been down this road doing a front leaf "SAS with rear coil and have been told no by several DOT approved engineers.

Reece.

No the surf chassis is shorter.
You would need to cut all the mounts needed off and transfer to your chassis.

Get a new one from the wreckers. The end of the bolt is magnetized to collect any metal in the oil. Welding the bolt will destroy the magnet and cause the diff center to wear quicker.

I thought the 18R equipped lux's came with 4.88's

Yep your right G142 = 8", 4.8, 2 pinion open.

You might also want to look at upgradeing the brakes, your 8" drums and solid rotors may find stopping hard.

Forget the Toyota LSD ther crap and last only 20' kms go the locker.

take the sway bar off and try it.

use vinegar, if you can find cleaning grade vinegar even better. It's about the only stuff that will dissolve silicone.

Any changed the fluid in a Rancho, if so whats the best fluid to use.

Cheers

Put valve grinding paste in the engine and full the tank with paint thinners and see how hard you can drive it.

Done this with a charger and hauled ass before sending a conrod thru the bolck.

im starting a TG Branch reseller over here in West Aus

So what will the $AU price be on these arms.

Hey Guys, My brother has a 1990 Rodeo with a 4ZE1 that won't start. Had a look and there's no spark from coil pack, has 12v to and appeared to have a pulse. Change the pac still no spark. Found some corrison on the dizzy plug, cleaned it up and still no spark. Any ideas of does anyone have wiring ...

86 same as 4runner. Be fairly hard to find a surf solid axle better off looking for a 4runner

1610 is for 2 pinon open "all non turbo 4 cyl"
1620 is for 4 pinon open & LSD "V6 and surf"

mate its a silly conversion full stop

-----------WHATEVER------------

they would be a silly conversion for a lux. And why would it be a silly idea???? How is it any different to fitting a Chev, Holden or Windsor engine. What because it’s not mainstream or a common conversion it’s silly???? Up until a several years ago nor was the 1uz but now it’s one of the firs ...

Rascal, he's referring to the Cleveland's not the Windsor and they are a monster

I was aware of that, I have owned enough Fords, rebuild enough 302/351 CLEVELANDS and seen them fitted into a hilux to known that there not that much of a monster to fit a hilux.

Let alone a 302/351 clevo ( you seen the size of these monsters?? )

There not that monster of an engine, and no tighter to fit than a 7mg or 1uz.
Cheap, reliable and plenty of bottom end.

No they won't IFS rims won't fit a solid axle will hit the calipers.

RB

In qld it wont be passed by qld transpoort, no matter what you do.

What are the basic rules for a engine conversion in QLD.

You won't get a leaf sprung SAS approved in QLD, a bundy front yes and will cost around $6k engineered.

RB

The axles between models are quite interchangeable, just a difference in lenght from leaf to IFS.
I actually have a 85 centre, with 96 IFS axles, in a 92 2wd housing.

RB

If it is a leaf front and not IFS then yes they will swap no probs.

RB

How come the rimms from the rear of IFS fit the front of a sas'ed rig? There not IFS rims then. Hilux IFS rims won't fit a solid axle. Some wide body surfs the rims just fit. Will all Patrol rims fit? any others? Patrol, landcruiser except 100 series, bundera. Try to stay with toyota as patrol have ...

What brand, I also found using repco boots slit after a short time.
