Outer Limits 4x4 Board

220k's is fuk all, because these were $140k when new, they get looked after a little better than the average farm hack. But even for a normal 100 series, 220k's isn't much. Still only 20k's a year. Most done early on. We've only done 30k's in the last 3 years.

Tows good, will maintain speed up ...

We've only towed my Mustang (1400kg, trailer 580kg) with it, and the race car (1600kg, trailer 600kg, tools 100+kg, fuel 60kg, and in the back of the LX, waeco 80l fridge, full, 5 people and jacks/stands etc.).

My wife got 10l/100 on a drive on the tollway from here to the other side of the city ...

I have 13 190w panels, and a 2.5kw invertor.

By my math, 2,470w of panels, of which 16% is 395w.

So, is the maximum my setup able to produce, going to be about 400w?
Or is the 190w actually 16% of a theroetical output of 1190w per panel?

Kind of like engine power output may be 300hp, but when ...

Just a quick question, to those in the know.
I have a 2.5kw unit on my house, does that mean that the most I will get from it is 400w, assuming it is 16% efficient? Each panel is 190w.

The speckled stuff is commonly called "Chook Shit".

Would need to buy/make an adaptor, and change the fuel pump/reg. Maybe have to play with the dissy too.

They never had a carby, originally, so you'd have to adapt something, and change the fuel pump or the reg.


I'd keep the EFI, for sure, 120%

Working in a workshop, we are told that the replacement speedo must be wound forward or backward to the same as the old unit, when replacing a speedo, regardless of whether it is a new or used unit, odometer only or complete cluster.

yeah, I was talking at the bottom, the top is easy.

I'll be getting my exhaust shop to weld mine. I'm not 100% sure how I will mount it to the fender, and seal it.

I think the inlet goes in the fender, under the tray on the right side, so shouldn't affect whatever you have on that plate.

I am looking to do the same, in some big diameter mandrel bent pipe, then flexy hose in the engine bay. I was thinking of cutting down the original inlet, and hoseclamping ...

I used to have a Carby GQ, auto, and it was a lot slower than a Manual, so I sold it and bought an EFI, and it wasn't much better, on 35's, with 4.6's, it struggled to do 110kph on an incline.

I now have a LX470, with a blower on it, and it will tow our racecar at 110kph, uphills, no worries! Our ...

We shopped around a lot for our car trailer, looking for a light weight trailer, so I could fit my F truck on it, and still tow it with a 4by, without overloading.

We ended up with a 15' trailer, with tilt, long drawbar, full checker plate floor, full width, tapered and flat, with drive over ...

Yank cars are crap, thats all there is to it. I own 3, a TJ Jeep, a F150 and a Mustang.
They are built to do a job (sometimes well) and not much else. The japs tend to build a car to do a job, and they finish the package.
Much like the british, you buy it because you want to be different, and you ...

Considering a Dual Cab Rodeo, Hilux or Triton is $40 - $50k, an Great Wall for $25k seems like good value.
A $50k Japanese (manufactured in Thailand) ute would be worth $25k in 3-5 years, so is a Great Wall was worth anything more than $0 at 5 years, your in front.

BTW, I wouldn't drive one in a ...

It was ages ago now, but the repco Z9 only had filter material 2/3 of the way down, probably like a Z10 shortie filter. It was also packed pretty loosely, not tight like the rest, with lots of paper.
Maybe ok for filtering cooking oil for a diesel perhaps!

We have cut them open, along with Holden, Ryco, ACDelco and Wesfil.

I wouldn't let e Repco filter out of the box, let alone near a car I own. Wesfil was pretty average too, the rest were good.

I get them from Jaycar....

No different to the Mongrels, except the mongrels are a remould, not a retread.

She made me sell the GQ we had, on 37's with 5" lift, when we had our little guy, but I've been looking at the AEV fender lift, and should be able to keep it pretty low.

Why? She used to drive my F150 to work, on 38's, and my 66 Mustang with 418 stroker, she just wants something easier to drive, and something easier to get our little bloke into.

I am looking at a TJ, and have had a look thru the tech questions, and still have some questions.

What are some worthwhile power mods? Can they be chipped? Do extractors/exhaust/aircleaner make a worthwhile difference?

I want to fit big tyres, but keep it low (my last 4by was a GQ on 37's with 5 ...

Do you know an aprox price?

Looking to buy a compressor today, and looking for recommendations for a good value compressor.
I will be occasionally using it in my 4by, to pump up 31-33" tyres, so it doesn't need to be a monster.
Just looking to not end up with an overpriced lemon!
Let me know your brands and aproximate prices ...

Any news on Number 7?

Go Team 7, Do it for the Vic's!

maybe different wiring at the throttle body??

FMX was used in the big LTD's and large cars back in the states in the 70's-80's. I made a mistake by swapping out 302ci to a 400m and backed it up with a FMX. lasted ,,,,, 2 months. followed by the rear end (what a sound that made) Spend ths $ and find a C6 with a 9".

I'm pretty sure all F250's ...

I know a guy was using the Romac stuff in his Stadium truck, only in 31 spline though, and he still broke an axle.

Romac is gone now, try Mcdonald Bros in Thomastown VIC. They do them, you would want 35 spline but.

Moser are the best, from Supa Trik engineering in Melbourne. Good warranty too. It is a replacement warranty, of the next size up. He can shorten your housing too.
