Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Was looking at getting a snorkel for my LN46 dual cab and have come across a lot of cheap snorkels for LN65 hiluxs.
Wanted to know if anyone has tried fitting one to an early lux?
Also remember hearing about a GU snorkel fitting?
Can get one for a LN46 but not interested in spending $400.

Looking at buying a new Lincoln 180 mig, which has also been recommended by a few people on this thread. But i can also get a good deal on a 2nd hand BOC 170p, with a tweco torch for $450. It has been used for gasless welding and is about 5 years old. What do you guys think? Is the BOC a good buy or ...

I am building a 40 series with a rear seat and wanting a full cage for the family and was advised to have a removable 'A' pillar bar, due to the stupid rule change. My cage will stay in permantely and remove the 'A' pillar if i have any problems. Seems to be safer with a proper 6 point cage for a ...

I vote the 45 cab on the 73 chassis.

What sort of money for a SAS with leaf springs, drive in drive out?

Matt

Have a look on lcool landcruiser forum.

Do the clutch master and slave together.

Matt

Are they the same for the SWB cruisers?
Spent a fair bit of time on ih8mud, but the earlier cruisers have a single round red tail light.
I assume in Australia they would have needed an indicator.
Might have to make some LEDS fit.

Bought myself a 1971 FJ40 and wanted to know what the standard rear tail lights look like?
The mounting holes in the chassis appear to small for the later model lights.
It also has a separate reverse light in the tub.

Matt

What year model is your shorty Dannyboy?
Does the spring hanger have enough clearance for the military wrap on the springs?
More concerned about the fixed pin hangers.

Matt

What springs are the guys with SWB fj40 cruisers using that have the smaller pin bushes?
I have a 71 SWB 40 and a 60 series for spares but the spring bushing sizes are different.
( 60 large to 40 series small )

Do you change the spring hanger mounts or use 55 series springs?

Matt

I got a 2nd hand one from a truck wreckers years ago, as no one had a new one.
Maybe getting too old now.
Have you tried Repco etc?

Matt

Digging up an old thread.
Any info on this conversion?

Matt

The plate should be next to the other one, possibly fell off, i know mine did but i still have it.
All RN46 and LN46 had 4.88 diff ratios as standard.

Matt

Engine is F155, will check the measurements against the chassis manual i have.

Cheers

Does the chassis tube have to be moved to fit a 5 speed to a SWB? With the handbrake moved to the rear wheels. Matt Nope, '83 and '84 model shorties have a 5 speed standard. I have a 77 SWB with a Dyna 5 speed and original 40 t/case with rear handbrake,original mounts, and it has the tube still in ...

Is this all because it has no build date compliance plate? l am looking at buying a 71 model cruiser and this plate is missing. QT said 72 and later has plates but before it didn't so should be ok. But the people who will be doing the RWC said it needed one or an inspection for a mod plate instead ...

R151 came behind the 1HZ in the 79 series cruisers.
Not sure of the strenght of this box, as it is a weak point in these trucks.
Maybe look at the H series box.

Check out thrashlux's build of a gen1 lux on 80 chassis.
What is the wheel base difference of the two?
Sounds like a good build.

Matt

My fans are 11" ones, but a 16" single fan should be fine.
I think i went the dual fan route as it had more cfm's, but this was a few years ago now.

Matt

The temp sensor position is in the manifold before the thermostat, factory position and would be the best / easiest spot to put your sensor. I have dual Spal fans on mine, work fine. What condensor a/c set up do you run? I was looking at doing a/c in mine but don't have all the parts and the ...

In the manifold under the thermostat area. Mine replaced the standard one.

Matt

They had a problem with crank angle sensors, but thought it caused cutting out and hard starting?
Does it have any fault codes?

Matt

There was a thread on here about what parts you needed and the difference in calipers.

Check your fuel pressure?

I have no rubber strips in the front guards between the body and chassis.
Maybe remove them and see if the heat can escape?

Check what temps you get on a proper gauge, as V6 commodore motors run hot.
The fan on mine cuts in at 105c.
Do you have a fan shroud?

Matt

How do you know it's running rich?
Have you cheched the o2 sensor?

Matt

Problem seems to be with the rear. Are you using the correct rotors as Ray said? Not familiar with the subaru calipers but some calipers with a handbrake mechanism also have an adjustment to wind out the piston to adjust the handbrake. See if it has a 14mm nut on the back side of the caliper, behind ...
