Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi mate, prices here are a little different to you guys $1.08 for E10, an I got an average of 14L/100km on the highway last time I checked = $15.12 per 100km 62c per litre for LPG, and last trip (all highway) i got 22.8L/100km = $14.09 / 100km When I lived in town and I did stop/start driving I got ...

It's not injected, i was told i didnt need it

well, I finally got the LPG installed. got 2 tanks mounted under the tray (roughly 100L usable capacity) and I must say I am underwhelmed. Currently she's chewing through 22-25L of gas / 100km, which roughly works out at $1 less than ULP per 100km :?, and about 50% higher consumption than what ...

Thanks for all the info folks. I've got the beast booked in for Feb to get the system fitted. I decided to add 2 tanks under the tray so that I will have a usable range on LPG. With full fuel and LPG tanks I should have roughly 1000km range.

I'll post a few pics after it is done

Cheers
Blake

Thanks dig I've had a chat with gas fitter near work and he happened to have 2 tritons in there (1 was his) so I was able to crawl around under them. I'm probably going to go with him. He also manages to tuck the tank(s) right up, and does the right thing with the exhast :) I'm also considering a ...

thanks for the feed back guys. exactly what I was after.

Cheers

Hi Guys Resurecting this thread as I'm looking to install LPG on my Triton and am leaning toward mounting the tank underneath. Are ther any gotchas that I should be looking out for? Also what sort of fuel consumption are you guys getting out of them? Just trying to work out expected range from the ...

Forgot to mention that mine is 3.0 petrol too.

It is worth remembering that the service interval for diesels is only 7,500km though (as opposed to 15,000km for petrols) so long term diesel service costs are higher if you want to keep your warranty.

OK, the "Love it" option may be a little strong, but I think you could do worse, so that's the closest option IMHO. Australian 4wd Monthly absolutely bagged it when it was released, but you must take into account that it doesn't have Toyota badges. :roll: They didnt even drive one in their 4wd ute ...

After a bit of research the springs seem to be the better deal. Main reason is that I can go 50mm wihtout requiring an engineer to look over it. All other options would mean I'd handing the engineer wallet full of cash just to stay legal (in the ACT anyway) i've heard that tough dog have 40mm ...

I am thinking of lifting the rear end of my triton a few inches am wondering what the best method of doing this is ... reset the springs or extended shackles. I want to keep the rear end failry soft.

Thanks
Blake

causes insurance issues

one word ...

in case you havent found the solution I would buy a few beers and do a search for "solenoids". you'll get quite a bit of info

Cheers
Blake

Am I right in thinking that a dodgy solenoid will only pull the front hub in and doesnt engage 4wd? If this is that case and you cant find a suitable hack to keep em unlocked then there is no harm done in driving there and back with the hubs engaged (except a little reduction in fuel economy ...

Hmmm found one. $95 from a wrecker. thats pretty cost effective

Nice one Jeepdriver. BTW, whats with the lineup of black cars?

Love the rig datster

I'm after some suggestions re: hitch style towbar for my ute. I currently have a factory one but it kills departure angle and has hung me up a few times already. also it is not suitable for use during recovery. If anyone has an info about cost a effective bars I would like to hear about it. Cheers ...

Bump ...

have you had a chance to use this in anger yet?

I just checked out the very same thing for my MK Triton physh. I am leaning toward the rancho 9000 adjustables cause this will allow me to have the adjustment up front too. The downside with the ranchos is that if they have are fitted with the adjustment knob exposed (like on some Jeeps) then they ...

And if you crank up the temp too it can melt the ice of your windows

do you have a better pic? i cant really see what is going on there, and I'm assumin that this might have something to do with the lack of replies.

hairdrier has done the trick nicely for me in the past. I am not a bit graphics fan. I have removed every sticker that I could from every car I have owned. I just reckoned they looked cheap. They also look really crap when they start to age a bit.

I like ya springs mate. very snazzy

Cheers
Blake

this one was for a GU patrol (sorry no Triton ones as yet) but i think it looks pretty sweet

I just googled for pajero "water valve" and came up with quite a few good pages.

It appears that it might be a rear heater?

Hope that helps

Blake

Hmmm crawler gears

i coulda done with some on the w/e. if you want a 3.0L MK Triton to test em in gimme a holler

Cheers
Blake

Mike, do you know if the hubs will fit an 03 triton?

edit: BTW it is a 3.0 v6 manual

I have 265/75/16 BFG A/Ts on my '03 MK and the tyres touch the rubber sheet that stops the mud hosing into the engine bay . I dunno how much adjustment I'll be able to get out of it

Cheers
Blake

Thanks for the great explanation. makes it clearer. The scenario that I had in mind was one side of the front end compressed and one extended so it is as I thought. I work in IT and there are the obligatory RS subarus and sylvias in the car park outside. I'll have a go at testing your theory when ...

Well, I bit the bullet this evening and started messing with the front suspension. I raised the front 40mm which looks schweet and gives a noticable improvement in clearance under the front. Unfortunately this also took me to max adjustment so I will have to reindex the torsion bars. The suspension ...
