Outer Limits 4x4 Board

One word. Dana.

Ya think? Ugh, I guess I have to bring out the Vaseline, then? But isn't it strange that with the revolutions I had going on (1. gear, downhill) and the packed oil filter, wouldn't the oil pump gain suction and start lubricating? I bet I couldn't get the dizzy shaft to turn any faster (which is a ...

I didn't see your replies until now, sorry. I meant the nipple on the front drums, I was a little bummed out they were placed on the bottom - bleeding valves ought to be as high up as possible. Anyway, I got my brakes and clutch bled, and it works like a charm - I can lock all tires almost too ...

I just bought one. And a buddy of me had one in the rear, I didn't hear anything but praise about it.

Spendy, though?

Any word on this, folks?

And BTW, where the hell is the front bleeder valve/nipple??

Yeah, I know the (front) 80 axle is 64" WMS - WMS, and I've heard 8.4 inches being thrown out in regards to R&P size? Can anyone confirm this? How about some numbers one the GU's?

What axles are the competition guys favouring?

Yeah, that noise was really weird, very hard to explain, but it wasn't like something was grinding. I'm positive the starter gear engaged the flywheel properly. I had jumper leads coming from a second vehicle, whose alternator charged 14 volts, not wrong at all. Without the extra juice, the starter ...

Why exactly that over an 80 front, is it just overall bigger? High-pinion? Factory locked? Same, huge brakes? What's the WMS, spline count, etc?

Also, whose are those chromoly shafts?

I am having trouble starting my V-eight ('84 Stage One), and I want this thing running ASAP, the snow is just around the corner! It fired right up and ran smooth, 4-5 months ago. Now, the starter seems to crank a little slow (had 14+ volts on the battery, also tried to run the power straight into ...

Photographs are cool things, and www.imaheshack.us is your friend!

I am debating future vehicle purchase, and I for know have my hands on an FJ80 (hopefully just the axles, e-locked!) and a diesel GU Patrol (supposedly 2.2??) that have had a date with a mountain side. Out of the two, from a general strength and reliability standpoint - which is the best? I assume ...

So, a One Ten is more or less a Stage One with coils and a more civilised interior? How about the frame? I would love a copy of that supplement manual of yours, highly appreciated! :) I understand the content related to the drivetrain and engine is pretty much the only things of interest in my ...

A workshop manual (and miscellaneous literature) for 90, 110 (the early kind too, "One Ten"?) and Defender (until 1992) is pretty much useless for 109's (Stage One specifically), right? What specific things are different and identical between these models? Am I better off hunting down something for ...

BW T18, LT95 and Nissan 4.1's in the diffs So thats 6.63(first gear) + 3.32 + 4.1 = 90.24 Goes well behind the 300tdi .... LOVE IT!!!! Use to run 37's...just got 40's but haven't wheeled it yet. Sweeet! I'm fantasizing about slapping in a set of axles with 5.13's (probably D60/14B), that would set ...

Yeah, I've been thinking a little of regearing. Seeing there's a lot of ex-military 109's around here, I could probably find some thing there. I've understood they have 4.70's in the axles, and that the front third member drops right into my Stage 1 axle housing? But how about the rear, does it have ...

Yeah, I guess that's fairly decent with 33's, doing mostly rock crawling?

Hi, I own an '84 Stage One and got curious about its crawl (final) ratio. In order to calculate this I need the ratio of 1st gear in the (4spd, LT95?) transmission, low range ratio of my (brand, model?) T-case, and the gearing in the axles, which I know is 3.50:1. So, any word on the other gearings ...

No offence to anyone, but the look of that chop is utterly fugly!

WHY? And please don't say departure angle.

How does a four-barrel Weber (IIRC) work at steep angles/gradients? I put an Edelbrock manifold and carb (Edelbrock carbs are re-badged weber) on my rangie. It was the worst modification that I ever did. They are worse than hopeless on steep hills - run like sh.t, stall and then very very hard to ...

How does a four-barrel Weber (IIRC) work at steep angles/gradients?

What's the deal with the front suspension? I want more pics from the previous state and full specs?!

So... WHY??

And I'm still waiting on my damn battery to finish, I think my charger is a little fucked - cheap junk. I want a booster.

Hell, I'm not using only diesel, I was thinking about using a 50/50 (used-)motor oil-mix. This will almost be equivalent to 5W-viscosity, and should build up oil pressure and lube any wanted bearings?

I just drained off what's left in the sump - surprisingly enough it was as much as nearly three (3!) litres left. And this is with no visible oil, or even moisture on the dipstick at all - what's up with that?? And again, how many litres does max and min on the stick imply? Oh, and I figured I'll ...

Wow, you guys must have major issues with thieves down there?

Hehe, sorry about the meal - I'm just thinking while sitting and wating for the damn battery to finish. But for flushing I'm NOT using *motor oil for diesel engines*, BUT *diesel fuel mixed with motor oil* - I'm just not sure about how much of each to mix ! Diesel alone wouldn't lube worth shit, I ...

Oh, I forgot something. Couldn't get ahold of diesel engine oil, nor oil filter on the gas station (surprise!), so I have to check out the local car parts store for this. My father suggested to mix normal engine oil with clean diesel (1/5 oil and 4/5 diesel???) and flush the motor with that. How ...

5.5 litres, 10 seconds - noted. :) But I still have no idea HOW to prime this oil pump. We're talking about the unit that sucks the oil up from the sump, right? Then I would have to unscrew the oil pan (which means I have to drain the oil, again?), right? What exactly is done with the vaseline? I ...

Seriously, I NEED to know how much oil this engine should have!

I'll hopefully have a juiced up battery by tomorrow - can't wait.
