Outer Limits 4x4 Board

In between guard and battery under a black metal cover are the fuse and relay for fuel pump.

Pump fuse and relay are next to the battery under the metal tray. If you clean all the dust and muck off you will see the label.

I have though about getting rid of the 240's and getting a small light bar. What LED's do you use?

Are you getting more adapters? Any specific kits you recommend?

My 240's have served me well for 7+ years but I would like to upgrade them to HID. What kits are people putting in them? I'm after the most straight forward conversion of 75W and above.

Cheers

I don't think you can accurately give fuel usage figures by using one of those gauges. Needs to be worked out when you fill up at the pump, but even then your odometer might be out like most vehicles.

I have just replaced my ELKO 420 gas converter with an Aussie B2. The ELKO had a steel front plate with a fitting linked to the intake on the gas mixer (impco 200 pr therevabouts) with a solenoid (apparently it adjusted mixtures) that stopped working years ago. Can I just block these lines off now ...

A friend of mine had a 75 on 37's with chromos which handled the tyre size quite well. Managed to destroy the steering box in a comp so there's always argument to upgrade parts if you're already replacing those components as it is. If it's in the budget then why not make it bulletproof?

You can get a hdj100's with about 250'000k's for 30k now, with 150'000 theyre about $35k.


where? i've been looking about and the 30k price point seems to be about right for 300k plus or 400k with a little bit of fruit

Really?

Mine was fixed with a wheel balance where the guy actually spent 10-15 minutes on each tyre to get them right. He added over 100gm to an already "Balanced" tyre.

Is the Tacoma just a Hilux? I'm surprised that the 200 series is almost $80k there. Thought it might be cheaper

What's the quality and finish like? Jap or american?

+1 ^^^^^

Thanks for that. Might give one of those a try!!

The HID's seem to work very well in my GQ but if i can avoid them i will. We drove back through some country roads last night and the Tiida stock lights are pretty good for stock especially in normal situations but on the longer country roads they fall a bit short. Can you buy 75 or 85W H4's? I hate ...

As we are moving to the country in a few weeks the g/f will be doing a little more country night driving. The standard headlights on the Tiida are pretty crap so i'm looking for some upgraded globes for now. I went into Supercheap and they have Narve Plus 20,50,90,100 and 120 globes but they are all ...

I have been using the ctek successfully for a while now. I was initially concerned that the charger wouldn't go onto trickle/float charge mode with a parasitic draw on the system but all is good.

I think the tb42e might have a slightly higher output

Ok but any 3 litre non CRD is going to have a fair amount of km on it already so if he is fitting NADS now after the magic 100,00km then it may still fail.

Jump onto patrol4x4.com and do a search on NADS. You WANT to monitor your EGT and boost levels.

If you also jump on patrol4x4 you will see that patrols with NADS fitted still blow up!

Or lift your budget mate to 35k and you can have my 04 gxl live axle turbo diesel cruiser that will be for sale from wednesday

How do they compare with a 4.2 patrol? You don't get many (gu 4.2) under 300,000km for that price.

I just purchase a Ctek mxs 5.0 to keep my battery charged while away with work. Am i able to charge the battery and use all of the smart charges functions with the battery still fully attached to the car? I can disconnect it but i prefer not to because it is in the boot (R33 skyline) and a pain to ...

The link says the rated wind speed is 12.5m/s which is 45km/hr and the cut in speed is 2.5m/s = 9km/hr

Been thinking about doing this myself as the price of panels has come right down. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120w-2-60W-12V-mono-solar-panel-battery-charger-solar-module-RV-boat-/250978373991?pt=AU_Solar&hash=item3a6f7a1167#ht_4070wt_1037 120W panel for under $300. Just need to get the charger ...

Are you talking about this?

I notice the load rating is 108 but i think the patrol requires a 112 rating.

My g/f parents are looking at buying a Diesel Pajero to tow their 18Ft Jayco. They are looking at spending around $35k and are interested in this one below purely because its close to their house and they know someone at that dealer. Can anyone tell me if that front end is at all factory. They told ...

Just got quoted $416/tyre for 33x12.5x15 KM2. This price seems a bit ridiculous considering the US$208 price.

Anyone have better prices in Melbs west??

How's the cooling going? Having similar troubles with the Tb42 so i bought a china spec rad and a new clutch fan hub. All good until highway speed like yours. For some reason the fan is kicking in very late. I pulled it apart and found very little oil inside. I have now topped it up with a tube of ...

After a lot of stuffing around it ended up being the drivers master switch being a bit dirty. Works perfect now.

Yeah that is a good option. Much involved?
