Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It puts all production cars at the same level in terms of how good their winch is so it comes down to technique and driving experience.

no.

one downside to braided is you cant clamp off the line close to the caliper if you want to do work on the car or change a cv

saying that, you prob dont need to clamp them off on a hilux becasue you can move the caliper aside when the line is so long

there the same as the ones i posted, and about the same price for 2nd hand

A mate and I chopped his in my shed




Then it became a middy.

Its for sale now again too. As a roller. check the for sale section

you can get these ones

if they still do them, i bought a set from here

read through the manual on here, rules are changing soon

bit of work involved in putting them in becasue the lux is obviously leaf springs to start with. Depends how custom you want to go too. Ive gone a little to custom i think with the front end. Radius arms are a one off and flipped on top of the diff which means i have to get the same arms again if ...

Ive building (not myself) a hilux atm for winch challenge.

I have a dual cab, 5 litre injected V8, king coilovers all round, gq diffs, 37" treps etc etc.

It will cost you way more than you think it will. But will be good when finished, to many gqs around

could be worn body mounts or cracked floor where it meets the firewall in the front footwells

depends who you get to do it. If your not doing it yourself, do your homework so you dont get farked over

Mines got patrol diffs and coilovers http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs104.snc1/4585_106706192353_775937353_2776891_5959871_n.jpg http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs127.snc3/17434_305564132353_775937353_4611020_7732754_n.jpg http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs051 ...

I would say to early 97 would be the same

89 to early 97 are the same shape luxes (to the last of the solid axle)


I had a 2004 model tub on my 89 and you need to taper the front becasue they are wider. You also dont bolt up the middle mounts, and the front ones have to be redrilled

Darren's Rav is about 4 years and I think 1 marriage worth of work and lets not even guess on the $$$ he spent on it. If I'm not mistaken every single part of the body has been modified in some why to make everything fit n work. So do you know the RAV in the picture? Do you know what his done to it ...

Do you have the digital controller with the pump to? Cant you adjust water flow with that?

Why would he lose all drive if the centre diff lock is off then?

coz that still happens when you blow a CV or front axel if its a full time 4wd

well if u cut it nice, you then have a perfect grill with a nice neat cut out in rather than a crappier grill with a cut out in it.

depends how much you care.

its only a gq, just cut it

I've been told you can damage your internal cage by welding the roof and pillar bars to it. If you hit it hard enough, apprently you can put a dimple in the cage where it joins. alot down here in vic now are just welding them to the gutters Like this http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1 ...

He engineered the hilux i have atm. 89 dual cab with a injected 5 litre in it. cross over steering and a few other things. The car didnt look like it would be engineerable at the time either haha. It was huge I bought the car like that, so didnt actually have to deal with him. But i spoke to him on ...

Your diff looks pretty doesnt it lockee

Why not get longer top arms?

Its a bit more envolved than that. Gotta change the mounts for coilovers and arms i think...to keep all the geometry the same
