Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey,

Thanks for the help, but she's now sold... :cry:

Yes, it's IFS and I made the snorkel myself.
PM me if you want any more info about it, I'd be glad to help.

Stockton was always a blast in the old girl... the snorkel and exhaust made it a MUCH better car up those big dunes! I miss the nice ...

Hey everyone,

It's come to that time where my beloved Rock has to go.

I've started doing 700+km a week and needed a ute for work, so bought a TD Hilux.

A lot of you may know my car, but if not here are some details.

It was featured in Australian 4WD Action Custom Guide last year.

Up for sale ...

If you're going to spend a bit of cash to make it capable offroad, I would look into putting some Hilux or similar diffs under it to open up alternate gearings and also lockers.
The lack of gearing options for Rocky diffs will make tyre sizes stay small, and no lockers, well enough said! :lol:

I ...

I'm fairly sure no hot air will come through my face vents either.

I always put it on 'feet' when I want it warm.

In a diesel, why would you lower the compression ratio? It's definately a completely different ball game to a petrol motor!

Also, if you don't use the injector pump with boost compensator, your fuel-air ratio will either run rich off boost or too lean on boost, depending on which you tune it for ...

2004 model Hilux bar bolted onto my Rocky

You can still get them genuine from Toyota, but I would cringe at the asking price.

Damn you must have been driving it hard!

Yes, the lights in the rear bumper are common beteween models.

I just made an aluminium infill panel and installed strip LEDs
Sick of getting mud in them!

Do NOT buy a Daihatsu if you intend to mod it....

As said, nothing will bolt up easily to the Roza 1600 000.

And in regards to your title, the turbo off a rocky does not bolt up and would probably not be suitable anyway.

The fibreglass hard top is in average condition but with a small expense you can purchase a soft top or bikini top from most daihatsu wreckers.

They make is sound soo easy to get spare parts for our Daihatsu's

I bought a Piranha dual battery voltage monitor... It is a digital LED readout with a rocker switch for Main or Aux battery. very good unit, bought from ARB Newcastle for around $150.

Awesome mate!

Yeah, that's fine as the 4 need doing anyway.

Email sent.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has replaced the rearmost bush in the rear, lower control arm on a coil spring Rocky?

I have tried genuine and they only list the complete arm, in which I'd probably have to swap for my arm and leg, and nolathane do not even list the F78 in thier catalogue.

Does ...

What was the issue with the original engine fan?
One of the worst options is to throw this away as soon as a heating problem is encountered.
A stock fitted engine driven fan in most cases works a hell of a lot better than an aftermarket thermatic one.

You may as well look into replacing the water ...

On the winch - I've got an aluminum bar that's non standard ( like everything else on my Feroza ) so my installation was designed to suit that. I do know that the front of the Feroza chassis is all angles so its a pita to work with. Pics are from ages ago ( it was clean, straight and narrow - how ...

Just a related question:

If I put a bigger tires, would an increase of 2" in diameter push the axle up ward, say by 1", therefore making it more horizontal and less strained?

No, it won't change your suspension geometry by fitting bigger tyres.

If you want more downtravel, you have to space the ...

Well im planning on keeping the car for a while. wnat to build it up into something. i havent seen any of that look to special & i didnt wanna be another zook stooge..

but im not sure if i should just get it rebuilt or replaced?

what would you guys recommmend

If you're keeping it for a while ...

Use the old 4psi rule... or if you can't be bothered, just drop it til it rides comfortable.

I have been using a 2 Stage Unifilter for a couple of years now, and in MY case, the intake after the airbox has LESS buildup of particles than when using standard paper filters. I will continue to use it despite the tech experts saying they let stuff through.

The outer element gets filthy dirty ...

It was my gearbox :cry: Transfer was replaced a few weeks ago :rofl:

I think it's the input bearing... It was being noisy last week, and yesterday I lost drive and it started making a loud grinding noise. :cry:

Hope I get away with a new bearing or two... not a shaft or gear :roll:


I think it ...

mmm loads of options i see,

Easiest option is to put up with it :D

Extending bump stops is by far the easiest option, but you will limit the amount of uptravel you are getting.

I've looked at the ball joints on the Rocky's and don't think it is easy or possible to flip or space them very ...

I use -23mm wheels and it hits on the inside of the flare, so spacing outwards is not an option for curing a rubbage issue.

Contacting on the inner guard is a good effort, mine didn't seem to go close at all when I had stock wheels on.

I have heard of a few people using a HiClone to swirl the gas/air mixture better also, no bull.

Not really, you don't gain any more travel with HD torsion bars. The only thing is they have a heavier spring rate, would COULD stop it from compressing up as far, but not likely.

Choppy Chop

I've cut a heap of my guard away, and it STILL rubs up front but only when hitting a bottom of a dune or similar at speed on the beach.
Out comes the grinder again soon one thinks.

There is a bit of stuffing around with shifters, fuel filler lines, bumpers some vacuum lines, radiator hoses and steering column if you go too high, but all can be overcome eventually.

Bullbar AND rear bumper will need to be moved up to suit the lift.

The big question is, why do you want the ...

The turbo 2.8 is a powerhouse down low and tows just about anything no worries.

kemal wrote:sweet wered you pick them brackets up from?

Bunnings... haha.
Was just labeled as a marine, stainless mount/hook or similar, can't remember specifically.
