Outer Limits 4x4 Board

the axel is loose but i snapped too far in to pull out, it's about 200mm from the end of the the hub. the only way out i can see is remove the whole diff, put it on end and shake the bastard out

i have an 80 series cruiser and my rear left axel snapped at willowglen and its dropped into the housing. have richmond lockright locker in there. how the hell do i get the axel out. can i pull the centre with the spline still in there????

37th got 2 averages on day 1
and 2 zeros day 2 so not too bad.This comp does not suit my car or driving style..I backed off the gas a lot and still hit a few white poles.

We have a few new members so it will be my last willowglen for a while.

i think bruised banana (ziggy?) got overall competitor but not too sure on that either

the 80 rolled on All Gullied Out, i think Brindabella won but dont qoute me on that. it was an awesome weekend and we had a blast, still trying to work out how to get my snapped axel out :? it broke about 200mm from the end of the hub and has dropped down into the housing :bad-words: pulled the ...

I've had 2 radial claws fail due to bad luck, staked them both :x otherwise they are a great tyre (shithouse lateral grip though, but thats not what they were designed for)

Edit,

i did not vote because it was failure due to unfortunate circumstances and that wasn't an option on the poll.

I ...

Can you highlight the text you want and then copy and paste into a msg?

i did get 98 on up the creek (which im quite stoked with :P ) my rear wheel arch just rubbed the tree up top of the hill which cost me 2 points :cry: i ended up on 411 which i think is great cosidering i've never even spectated at a 4wd comp :P so i went in pretty much blind on this event. next year ...

i think it was bruised banana that finally dragged that rock out of the pit and basically made it a highway. thank you bruised banana for my only 100 run

well it was a big weekend for the little zook

i had a ball and not too much damage from the 2 rollovers

i knew you had one rollover, where was the second, i missed that one, you had some good drives though, nice work.

Col.

i think we needed atleast 20 points to get to the start line in gullied out, i got a big 0 on that course :bad-words: really dissapointed about that. started my run and just slid sideways into the stake holding the bunting. nothing i could do to stop it. but alot of cars got through so i suppose i ...

great work with ifs mate, didnt see a score like thaat coming from an ifs vit

Cheers,

Col

anyone got the full results list? i couldn't hang around for presentation :(

Col.

willowglen was great. this was my first comp and i had a ball. thanks to tlcc and sponsors for putting on a great weekend.

Cheers,

Col.

will tow the boat, but not too good up hills. the 2.8 lux is no powerhouse. and if someone breaks your momentum up hill you screwed.

thanks for the replys fellas, im in no hurry to get a new car but its good to know what to look out for.

im looking at buying a 93 4.5 ltr dual fuel cruiser. my question is how many kms are these engines good for? i know it all depends on how the thing has been driven but it is in stock condition which points to a pretty easy life.

Thanks,

Col.

or you probably got used to doing 5 km/h for a few hrs wheelin and when u got back to the road she felt like a mercedes

my 97 LN106 gets around 9.8ltrs per 100 kms, reliability seems ok but i have only had it for 3 mths. it is a bit of a slug on the hills with the 31" tyres but ill be getting a turbo soon so that should fix it.

Cheers,
Col.

:P id tell u. but that would be sellin business... ahaha pm me if u want me to make u some cheep...

normally use 10mm x 50mm flat bar, n 200 eye to eye... hope u got big drillbits to make them ie 19mm.. :)

do you put any bracing between them
ie like some bock section welded between the plates ...

from full to when the needle hits the empty mark i get around 500ks. but you will find that there is still about 20ltrs of fuel left when the needle hit empty so you should get around 650-700 kms.

ln106 were made to 11/97. i have a 5/97 ln106 dual cab

thanks for the reply, i have decided to get the kit supplied and installed so they can tune it for me at the same time.

im getting a turbo kit for my hilux in the next 2 months, my question is do i need to get the motor tuned? i only want to run a low boost level in the interests of engine life and fuel economy.

this is my first diesel powered vehicle so im not too sure on the tuning side of things.

thanks
Col.
