Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a 98 coily and i'm contemplating fitting a calimin stainless steel header. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that there is an issue with clearing the steering links because they run behind the axels. Does anyone have any info on this?

I had my unis replaced with some greasable ones

had this exact problem recently.....
it turned out that one of the unis was ceased on one axis....
only realised it when i decided to check it a second time an took it out completely, replaced both with some greasable ones

thanks... found the problem, was a uni that was seized on one axis didnt realise it untill i took the shaft right off

I have a 98 coily and i'm running a leafy transfercase with trail tough 4.9:1 gears. Recently i have been getting some pretty strong vibrations which i have narrowed down to the prop shaft that goes fron the gearbox to the transfer case.

I have checked the unis and the seem to be ok, some one ...

i have a 98 SJ80 and im looking to replace my 30x9.5 bf goodrich mud terrains with something a little more agreessive. im leaning toward some 31x11.5 superswamper ltbs.

my question is how do different tyre profiles affect performance on suzukis. in other words from your own experiences what ...

was thinking of doing something a bit different....

was looking at fabricating a perch which would fit over the current shock mount and the spring would sit on that, then i would use a shock of the apropriate length which tould use the original shock mounts but would not have the rest for the ...

was thinking the sierra gear reduction would help with running bigger tyres, then it ocurred to me that it would be the same as running 5.12 gears and a 4.9 transfercase gears on a sierra

Thanks for the input, was sure i saw a vit with a siera case in it online somewhere, didnt realise it would be that much work.

was thinking so

I have a 98 sierra with a gear driven transfer case with trailtough 4.9:1 gears. Someone has made me an offer and i'm contemplating selling it and buying a 2 door vitara/ grand vitara. If i sell i will be swapping back in the original chain driven case.

The trails i do are mostly mildly challenging ...

is it possible to fit a 4 pin carrier fro a leafy into the front of a coily to install an auto locker?

there should be some in the blower vents and also under the glove compartment

nice

Well the locker is definately not unlocking, what effect does the thickness of the two spacers that go next to the block that holds the cross pins have on operation?

going by what you are saying mine might not be unlocking, there is no clicking going on with mine, will try a lower tyre pressure and see what happens.

cheers

I jacked up one side and could rotate one tyre a few degrees and before it stopped, i'm assuming that is the 25 degrees of backlash that they talked about in the manual. I'm not hearing any clicking sounds that are mentioned, are the gears/teeth on the locker and the side gears supposed to engage ...

well its been taken apart and put back toghther by my mechanic, the backlash is there when spinning the wheels by hand when the vehicle is jacked up, still dont hear a clicking when cornering but i dont notice it much except when im makin sharp turns, maybe i dont have enough traction to make it ...

thanks guys, will try removing the thicker shims and see if that helps, hope everything is still in good nick

I installed a lockright locker in the rear of my coil sprung sierra and something seems to be wrong.

I have test driven it on asphalt and in mild corners the outer tyre scrubs/ chirps sometimes and the is an rattling sound coming from the rear diff,the tighter the turn the worse the scrubbing and ...

Just bought a 2 inch lift kit off rocky-road.com. Consists of 10 two inch spacers, 4 longer bolts , 6 body stud connector bolts and some washers. Just thought i'd post some pics (excuse the quality, took them with my phone)

Hi guys, will the ring and pinion gears from a WT fit the front diff housing of a coily?

Thanks for the input guys. I'm in Barados, it's all about mud here and the guys generally dont go out unless it has been raining. Bought mine a year ago and now I'm about to make a project of it. Was a bit concerned for a while because I thought I wasn't going to be able to lift it, there is next to ...

Hi all i have been browsing your forum for a while. I have seen it mentioned a few times about the fragile front axels/cvs on the coil spring sierra, was considering a welded front but now I'm a bit scheptical. How fragile are they really????
