Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the help, you have given me a couple of options.
I'll have a look at a couple of 'original' solutions, and like the idea of fabricating something. At least with the fabrication, it will all look standard from the outside.

I am looking to refine the filling of the two tanks I have fitted to my Range Rover. I currently have a separate fill point for each tank and would like to reduce this to just one. I understand that some Toyotas have a single filler point and a lever selection allowing for fuel to be delivered to Ma...

[quote="hat size solar would be suitable? I have a 40l engel and the usual 12v stuff too.[/quote] Consider that the fridge will draw 3A say for 1/2 a day, so need to think about charging at a similar rate. My 40w panel (an old ex teldtra panel) seems to provide enough to extend the life of the ...

You are playing the balancing game... 1. do I want deep cycle battery (lots of AH) capacity, long recharge time, not designed for and may damage by trying to restart motor, somewhat more sensitive to heat and vibration or 2. dual purpose, capable of starting motor, lower capacity (AH), quick recharg...

Yep, bolts and nuts etc are available, just ask your local 4wd shop, I think mine cost about $80 as a kit.

Stick with a 2.5" exhaust, (There is a thread somewhere all about 2.5" vs 3" and the tdi engine gets no benefit going over 2.5") I have only a small straight through muffler at the tail of the pipe, ditched the centre one long ago. With a turbo it kills most of the noise, but Mr ...

When I setup my front end, I had the bolt holes slotted to allow movement. At the time it was suggested that when in the correct position, drill and tap somewhere along the joint (at 90 degs to retaining bolts) and put in a small bolt to hold the position. I got as far as getting the front end align...

simple guide, no matter the tyre.... for LT tyres, start with the pressure you think will be right, go for a drive on highway... and after at least 30 minutes of highway speed, check tyre pressure, if it goes up more than 6pound ...it is to low. The pressure should be up to 4-6 lbs higher after a go...

Had a chance to compare LED lights over the weekend. The Versalite LED certainly puts out plenty of light, and with a good spread as they have arranged the LEDs on an arc. Compared to an ARB LED, more light and more spread. Compared to a Versalite Fluro ... very close, just uses less power and does ...

To join the vacuum tube, use the clickfit airline (or plumbing) connectors, and yes I ran mine down the firewall and forward along the inside of the radius arm (held in place by a couple of hose clamps), then across the back of the diff etc. I clad my tubes in that bendy electrical stuff used for wi...

Just received the LED Versa-lites and they certainly put out heaps of light. Will be bush camping this weekend, so will be able to directly compare with my old Fluro Versa-lite.
Those listers who sent me a PM re supply etc, expect a message this afternoon re payment etc.

Thanks for the prompt about the pricing swap etc in previous post. 2nd try: this post replaces previous pricing! the 12v LED light: @$130.00 http://www.burnbrite.com/pdf/Versa-Lite%20Portable%20LED%20Lead-Light.pdf and the 12v Fluro light: @$94.00 http://www.burnbrite.com.au/pdf/Versa-Lite%20Portabl...

Yep the 12v LED light: @$94.00 http://www.burnbrite.com/pdf/Versa-Lite%20Portable%20LED%20Lead-Light.pdf and the 12v Fluro light: @$130.00 http://www.burnbrite.com.au/pdf/Versa-Lite%20Portable%20Fluorescent%20Lead-Light.pdf Parcel will be posted from 2600, allow 1kg for wrapped light to calculate es...

A real tax invoice will be issued with each sale. Any Versalite reseller should be able to support the warranty, but a call to the distributor as per above links (Soterion, they are 4wd users too!) and they will sort it out. re postage. Use the Australia Post calculator. The sending postcode is 2600...

I get the Versalite fluro and LED from a local retailer at something close to wholesale prices for a local 4wd club. Outer users can have them for the same price plus freight.... so 12v fluro @$94.00 and 12v LED @$130.00
I will weigh one in the morning and then we can work out the postage...

Years ago I brought a FJ back from Adelaide, behind a HQ Panel van, on an A frame. I patched a trailer lead into the wiring loom under the dash, much easier than running additional boat style light bar etc ...

I do.

I carry few in stock, so get batteries on demand, try and get shipped directly from the Melbourne warehouse to avoid an extra courier charge.

I have been supplying users throughout Australia since 2000, so Gold Coast no real problem.

I'm a RR owner in Canberra, so let me know where it is etc ... should have a chance after work one afternoon this week.

Nothing secret about the pricing. Just a few battery retailers get upset at the prices.... and I like to ensure that the courier delivery is also included.
But eg.
Optima D27M (800cca, 66ah, 305x127x225) Blue Top Dual Purpose, RRP $475.00 Offer to Outers @ $388 + freight

Optima have just released a new battery, about the same size as the N70Z ... dual purpose, would handle your starting and winching ... PM me if you want a price.

Wet newspaper sticks to the glass, keep rewetting for an hour or so, softens the film, peels off much easier. I've used a razorblade scrapper to ease it off. Still need acetone or thinners on the glue that remains.

If you are planning a Tdi300 into a Range Rover, body lift is not absolutely necessary BUT nearly impossible to get the rocker cover off if you do not. I did a 2" bodylift, gave us plenty of room.

Lanotec is the go... just aks a coastal fisherperson how they stop their truck rusting! http://www.lanotec.com.au/?link=3 Either pressure pack or pump. I got a 1.5l pump pack of the heavy duty stuff a couple of years ago and did under the vehicle, inside doors, every nook and crannie ... and it is s...

I have a pair of 4.11 CW & pinions available. Front is reverse cut. Supplied by Maxidrive, done a winch challenge event, so still A1 cond. And in Canberra!

Disco1 is same as Classic Range Rover under the bonnet, starting battery, drivers side behind headlight, battery #2 similarly on other side of car. #3 probably in box in back of vehicle. see traxide tronics at http://www.traxide.com.au/ they have a SC80 unit designed for attaching 2 additional batte...

Chopped guards are not an issue, just make sure you provide enough width to cover the tyres and no obvious sharp edges.

I think the balancing included:
pistons and rods
crank
Flywheel
and because I was going Auto, they also did TC and flywheel

I recently setup a couple for a client. Installed lights (with locknuts on mounting bolt), and left him to decide on focus etc, then we put a strap on the top to the bar to remove all the vibration etc. I cut a stainless hose clamp, and riveted the screw adjustment end to the top of the light, and t...

Upgraded wiring will certainly deliver the full 12v to the lamp, BUT HID will produce amazing volume of light, improved wiring or not. Drawing only 35w per element, hardly requires improved wiring..... I'd probably do both though ....

Serg,

Get it balanced. My motor was reluctantly balanced by the rebuilder because they could see no need for spending the $180, and land rover did not say to balance them. They say it was the smoothest, quietest Tdi300 they had built. They balance all their rebuilds now.
