Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all

I am just curious... I have a feroza with an extremely sleepy 1.6 and a front end that is flogged out to buggery... Now this thing is just an unregistered trailer queen.. so no need for an engineer or anything...

I can get hold of a 89 model hilux with an un finished lexus V8 mated to a ...

Bump Bump.......... I bit the bullet and bought a Safari ........ top stuff on your effort mate, looks soooo much better!!! Well done mate top job!

Troy

yeah maybe incorporate a switch for the gauge lights when you have the headlights on. I know sometimes turning right with the lights on its hard to see around the corner. Am going to put a switch on mine so when im in narrow streets i can turn the gauge lights off, also make them a bit more hidden ...

Mine are on the A-Pillar

Heya mate. The 4.5's are a bullet proof and reliable motor. Although In saying this the gas does tend to give the valves a hard time. Some/most of the 4.5's were known for needing the valve stem seals replaced at 150 - 200 000kms or maybe sooner if just used as an "around town" car. Meaning spent ...

Cheers matey, She is an awesome old bus. Love driving it except the fact it stands out like dogs balls. So you cant sneak anywhere . The Rims are 16"x10" Allied Wasps with 315x75x16 MTZ's........gives it a nice wide stance

My first car 89 HJ61 Sahara, 1st week of ownership.....ready for some TLC :armsup: .

2 years on and a bit of time and effort she looked like this. Just before she was replaced 2 years ago for my current 80 series :cry:

Hey all thanks for your advise.

Have been in contact with Ian from Miller-matics. The "O/D Off" light is flashing, meaning there is something electrical playing up. We can get 1st and 3rd, so thats enough to get it to the people who rebuilt the trans on the Sunny coast. My old girl pulled the 2.2T ...

Hey Fellas

We are currently on fraser island and the olds 96 multi-valve 80 series is having some auto-matic trans issues.

It seems to be in "Limp" mode. feels like we can only get 3rd gear when in "D". Selecting L-2-D doesnt do alot if anything, i can maybe feel what appears to be one gear change ...

Hey all

My brother bought a brand spanka dual cab D4D SR5 hilux and took delivery 4 weeks ago. Last weekend we spent 3 days at Fraser island. The Luxy perform effortlessly, and he is absolutely wrapped with everything..........................

EXCEPT.........

When refueling we noticed the rear of ...

x2, had the same problem, got the idle speed motor cleaned, Reset ECU and gave it a tune up and runs like a dream!!!

Got a drive in drive out cost, for a 100 series 1hd-fte conversion with a barrel intercooler and 3" exhaust, bolted to a 5sp auto....................................................... $20g



Bringing my old GXL up to scratch is starting to look like a nice idea!!!

I'll put my support up for the Sahara seats as well. Never sat in GXL seats for any length of time but my Sahara ones are quite good. How trashed are you original seats. Material stuffed or just padding gone. Also look at cost of getting them repadded. I haven't costed this for a long time but ...

So thrashlux when are you moving back to Aus to do a 100 series FTE conversion for me

Hey v8zuki, did you do the conversion yourself, or did you get it done, if so do you have a contact no?

sorry, not trying to hijack the thread,.

thanks

Nahhhhh mate your right! The more qns that are asked the more info we get!!! :)

auto and manual chassis have cross members in a different ...

Its a post october 92, so has the 16" brakes etc.

Killa lux, what would i be looking at for the 1HD-FTE conversion???

It appears its going to be a bit harder then i first thought. Im unsure as to which auto box it has, whether it was the old type or the later semi electronic job.

Cheers fellas

Hey all

Just wondering if anybody has done this conversion??? Reason i ask is that i have a GXL 1HDT manual bolted to a 5sp, but the paint on mine is starting to show its age. Friends of ours has a 1fz-fe Sahara Auto and have offered it to me cheap. Sooooo for the price of getting mine resprayed ...

Scratched through my archives and found a couple. Damn i miss that truck!!!!

This should be close enough

Staying cold on cool mornings and getting hot when ya push it hard, My old 12HT did the same thing and it was thermostat! I know you said you changed it 4 weeks ago, but it could have been a dud! I would buy a Genuine toyota thermostat, but before you put it in, test it in water on the stove and ...

(eg Tyres)

Mick i beleive its not the tyres fault, more the dodgy arse holes who are fitting them at the tyre shop, then they try to blame it on you because you were standing there well thats personal experience on a $400+ Centerpede..................ohhhhhh bite tongue bite tongue!!! :bad-words ...

Welcome to owning an 80. all the 80 series cruiser we've had over the years had piss poor power steering. On the bitumen with my 305x70x16 muddies the power steering sort of binds up, but then again i suppose good driving practice is to keep it rolling slightly. What size tyres is it running?

Troy

Deffinately Having a pull!!!

Tell him to get his eyes and ears checked

Hey all as above,

I have a 5sp Manual 91 80 series (HDJ80). Being a GXL It has a Full time 4wd transfer case but is fitted with a marks part-time kit

All of a sudden it is really hard to shift from H to N to L and back. It used to shift easy as like you could move it using 2 fingers. You could ...

T-Max gets my vote every time! We have been using a 10 000lbs T-Max on the front of a new hilux to pull HD mains cables through under ground conduits at work.

The Boss said i dont care if you burn it out just get them in! So thats what we did, single line pull, foot hard on the brake it was ...

I love cruiser park and think its the best place to put my truck through its paces! Regardless of what you drive you can have an awsome weekend. I always take my rubbish and do the right thing. I am curtious to other campers, to the point ill crawl through a camp ground so other campers dont have to ...

Mate $700 is cheap! do it once do it properly. Buy a second hand unit you dont know how long its been sitting. And even then a second hand unit is 200+ dollars then fitting + gas. Its alot of money to throw around with no warranty or guarantee. You dont know if the seals are in good cond etc. you ...
