Outer Limits 4x4 Board

There were a few choice words said when it fired up without hassle in the driveway yes lol Guessing it's computer related we spent most of sat arvo/night chasing wires around looking for a broken or loose connection and double checking all the obvious things, now it's home and can't fault it lol bit ...

There's some impressive negative scores there. How do you manage such a score ? -50 points for each stage not started, which for us (elmo) was one track plus the mud Saturday night and all of Sunday, due to a very annoying electrical problem that meant after replacing a steering hose after rocky ...

Ok cool that's what I was hoping to hear
Thanks for the help guys and yeah will be running full hydro steer on the front
So I'll 4link both ends

Cheers

Hey all just wondering what to do I have a 4door hilux project I'm putting together for ttc, And sitting in the shed I have gu diffs, a 4link rear setup and enough tube to make a 5link, I also have 2 air shocks to squeeze under one end.. My question is would air shocks in all 4 corners be too soft ...

When do the emails go out to competitors with what we need to send in for pre scrutineering?

IMO: Air shocks should only be used in a maximised droop suspension set up. ie 2-4 inches up travel and the rest droop/down travel. Perfect for slow rock crawlers, not so good for racers. Air shocks work really well as bump stops because of the progressive pressure increase working against the ...

Ok so my iPhone won't post the links like i was hoping, but if you search eBay for fox air shocks they are
The only 18" travel ones that will come up in the list

Hey all, putting air shocks in the front of madcow and have been looking at these ones on eBay- good price and easy to get iPhone URL: Fox Shocks 18" Travel Nitrogen 2.0" Shocks (pair) Browser URL: Fox Shocks 18" Travel Nitrogen 2.0" Shocks (pair) Question is - it says in the description that the ...

update-- took the plugs out to see if it was a hydraulic lock- no good. unbolted the convertor from the flex plate (managed to get motor to turn over ultra slow in short bursts with the starter) motors still rock solid to turn... looks like its motor out time :cry: it was just startin to look good ...

That's the strange part tho it never really got hard to start- just went from running good one min- then shut down overnight and when i went to start it today nothing happened :( Oil / water are both clean and it's definatly the right amount but even if it wasn't it hasn't ran above idle or for long ...

yea but how do i turn the flex plate to get to the top torque converter bolts?

plugs are out.. still no go - its locked solid tried turning it both ways
was running sweet yesterday afternoon no noises no nothing...

trans is a 2nd hand one but had the internals checked/serviced when i had the output shaft changed over (marks adaptor to GU tcase)
will go rip the spark plugs out and let you know in 10 min..

:cry: well everything was going good, now no go.. Fully rebuilt VS Calais supercharged V6 engine with rebuilt Auto box with marks4wd interface loom running off a push button start in a willys jeep.. . was starting/running sweet but had no alt charge so the few startups without an alt drained the ...

Madcow will be back again- hopefully a little more prepared this time round with more than 18 seconds seat time heheh

the longer trailing arms you got... are they lowers or uppers or both?
as if you only bought lowers, it will point the diff pinion down bringing ur tailshaft clearance lower too
get some adjustable uppers and rotate the diff up a little? just an alcohol fuelled idea hehe

cool vid
anyone got footage of madcow on the marbles on sunday? wanna see what it looked like from outside hehe as we got as far as the bonus line in H4 with a broken rear axle

its there to test out how many beers you can consume to do a simple task such as bleeding a clutch, thats why its so hidden so by the time you find it you'r in all kinds of a mess.

where are you bleeding from? as there's a bleeder on the slave cyl itself, but if you trace the line back up from the slave cyl to the firewall it goes thru a little box looking thing (technical name for it eh?) and theres a bleeder there too, done the exact same thing with my old patrol spent ages ...

somebody somewhere has a pic of the cow getting nursed back to camp by team manitou x 2, one on the front one on the back after we had the internals of our transfercase desinegrate.. :oops: all in all a top weekend :armsup: You talkin bout this pic??? http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94 ...

Madcow's loaded and strapped down to our -less than powerful- GU... keep an eye out for a slow and steady patrol and cow swaying our way up the putty

SUCCESS! :armsup: :armsup: :armsup: :armsup: after more beer, more swearing, more brake fluid, more mess.. we got brakes :armsup: no idea what the prob was, but a GU booster and GU master cyl fixed it, with a lil tweaking on the pushrod for length. Got a few minor vacuum issues that will be sorted ...

not really no, i'm sure somewhere along the line they had to.. but its not the only thing we've had troble with getting sorted :? just hoping a longer pushrod will solve it?? as with a bodgy spacer sitting in there to push master in further they did seem to work.. but being a bodgy spacer it only ...

must be the year for bad brakes mine dont work at all yet
o well... we'll get there, hopefully all these late nights will be worth it bring on TTC 7 days to go!!

Still no luck even after fitting residual pressure valve to rear- :bad-words: We changed back to the old master cyl- no different Checked pistons in calipers to see if they are pulling back inside caliper- they arent. Clamped only rear brake's off- pedal was good. Clamped only front brakes off ...

It wont have anything to do with the lenght of line!!!! Make sure you got a master cylinder to suit front and rear discs not front discs and rear drums if you had it changed. There should be a residule pressure valve for the discs brakes, drum brakes dont need them. Its not a one way valve. If it ...

main prob that's been guessed is theres a pressure loss in the rear due to the length of brake line from master to the rear calipers. Did the brakes work before the recent repairs? not overly sure hey, at some stage they had to as nothing's been modified since i bought it but i bought it with ...
