Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Maybe give us a name/place/date you sold it too... I've wheeled in the last 5 years with probably 5 cars similar to that.... could have been any one of them further modded or painted. One on the weekend even..... but the cab (which was cut quite a few years ago) was only recently put on a GQ wagon ...

Large sunroof?
High clearance?
Get a jeep jk wrangler and take the roof off.

Put Nissan brakes on it.
That will fix it.

What do i win?

Have you got the shoes on backwards, ie leading shoe on the front not the back?

Mitsu's are renound for their oil leaks..... every one ive ever seen leaked. A mate is a mech and he says its a factory no-delete option. Dont know if its poor castings and mating surface finish, poor gasket material, or poor /insufficient torque settings on bolts etc. If its coming from high up ...

Yes you could install a 4.2, but you will have a lot of trouble getting the auto to work. If you can at all. You'd need the complete 4.2 loom, radiator/shroud, plus weld in new engine mounts (they are different)..... 4.2s were never offered here with an auto (or anywhere else?) and youll end up with ...

So the cracks are actually on the pumpkin, where the axle tube is pressed in?
Seems a strange place.
Personally, Id think finding another bare housing may be a better option.
But you could get it welded and braced to stop it reoccurring.

A little bit baffled by what's up with my 5L hilux motor. It's been running a turbo for around 5 years with no dramas. This year I've noticed that the rocker cover vent hose has been venting a hazy oily smoke that wasn't there previously. The gas seems to pulse out of the vent hose at around 1 ...

Cant comment on those other than buy cheap buy twice is a moniker Id stand by. They do seem cheap. And shiney, if thats of any use. ;) On my old GU I used the red AVM's when the standard auto lockers crapped out. On 35's with front ARB locker I had zero issues with them. The new GU (also on 35's) i ...

Mate turn the ignition key from off to ign 3-4 times, a code should come up on the odo. Google the code or report back here. Otherwise, take it to a jeep specialist like Hammonds at Capalaba or Murchison offroad. The xjs run a teabag filter on the tank pick up prone to blocking, but the issue sounds ...

Id be plugging in a OB2 scan tool and checking codes.
My guess is a throttle position sensor.
The car yard replacing the distributor shows they know nothing.
Where are you based?

That's typical of a thrust bearing, rattle when cluch not in use, stand on the clutch pedal and it shuts up.
Drop the box off and replace it.

Yep, had an ABR Sidewinder in 2 x Jeeps and now the BT, works a treat.

Bru I ran the ARB twin motor unit in the TJ running 37"s, was really good. Aired up all 4 quite quickly. Plus it was relatively compact for its output, and it's rebuildable as its basically two of their normal compressors bolted together. Parts are readily available. Whilst I never tested it, it's ...

Speak to Geg at G&S Struth, he ran 37's for a long time and rated them.
Not sure if the 35's are the same as the 37's, but if anyone knows he will.

Work with how? More boost? Power gains up to 130kw? More? I know of a N/A engine with 250,000 that then had a big turbo and pump work etc fitted, and still went fine. 190rwkw, was still going strong 100,000 later. General rule of thumb, double the power, halve the life. That said, stock they are ...

If it's from a quadratrack wagon, the front diff pumpkin will be on the right. TJ has the front pumpkin on the left. You could get a front D44 from a NP208 ( ie non quad die) wagon, but the pumpkin is way to the left, making it a bitch to find the room to mount a coil spring perch, shock mount ...

I have a BT 50 3.2 auto GT ( top of the Mazda range, auto headlights/wipers/leather etc) Mods so far: Radflo remote res shocks with Eibach springs, about 40mm lift 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers DP chip Replaced muffler and tailpipe section with 2.5" mandrel straight through section Dual battery ...

Jimbo, FWIW..... I had 55w, then 100W hid kits in my XGT's on the GU. Having had both, Id go the 55w. Whilst more wattage may sound better, in reality the usable light distance and spread is really not much different.... and I did notice that with the 100W kit, as the lights was more intense (same ...

Anyone know if/when a DVD will be coming out?

I'm gunna bet that it was never recovered..........unless they had a Skyhook :lol: Not the same one, but this shows similar situations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA4pUalceVE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; How retro cool would one be as a wheeling rig with 44" boggers :cool ...

^^^^^^^^
Nice Ethann, very nice.

Just seen on FB, NSW Plod have set up a RWC checking station near the entrance to TT.

Good work.

Just wondering what others have done for the charge wire for the backup battery? On my camper trailer I had a 6mm/50A wire running from the 2nd battery on the car (fused at the battery end) to the number 2 pin (round 7 pin plug) then to the battery bank in the trailer. As we were driving it ...

I couldnt see an issue, other than if you stop the engine and forget to turn the switch off you could flatten the starter battery.

Some of the Lexus headlights are already $7000 each so I'm guessing these will be a heap more. lol Most of that is Toyotas overinflated pricing. On the new E series Mercs (and higher models) the headlights are LED, on the one (high) setting. Cameras projecting forward (located either side of the ...

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/engines-trannys-t-cases-sale/1497434-atlas-4-speed.html That's still $3000aud + by the time it gets here, and then the outputs need to be modded to suit ( or flanges/yokes purchased and changed over to suit) and an adaptor made or purchased to suit gearbox if ...

What are the options for Passenger drop transfers, all i know is a np205. Would it be possible to flip an LT230. I know someone on here was talking about it a while ago but i dont know if they ever did it. NP208 is also a possibility depending on gearbox, many 205's (whilst bigger) have crap low ...

Pickups?
Do you mean utes?
Or Ladyboys?
