Outer Limits 4x4 Board

check out newhilux.net. they have a few trucks in there running 33s. be good for any questions and help too.

every suspension brand has an option for ya. depends on budget really. personally i went for a 2" susp for work purposes and im more focused on lockers. at the end of the day no matter what susp you put in it wont flex like a 80 or a troll so worry more about lockers. this is if its going to get ...

not with the chain as there always pita. the idea is to use my rear diff, put a centre in the front one but flip it upside down. join the front diff pinion to the rear as one solid unit. the only movement would be twisting, aka susp movment or drive to wheels. stick a big sprocket on the tail shaft ...

did u use the nolathanes or original rubber ones

tomorrow but i dont think any one could justify what i would charge. did think of a basic one for the daughter in pink with no susp and chain drive front and rear.

Looks fantastic mate.

Did you get the front driving yet??

If you were to start making it these days, would you make it differently??

How much do you reckon it owes you??

What is the chassis made from?? I can see from the early pics, that there looks to be a fair bit of 25x25 SHS in the frame ...

yeah i like the front wheel drive car engine gearbox set ups. low easy power delivery and not reving the ring out. every things easy and ready to go. with the weight and build why does every one think you need a 2ltr etc. i know its heaps of stick but its not a drag car. what about litle 3cyl 4cyl 1 ...

well i finally got in touch with the technology side and learnt how to youtube etc. heres some pics and vids.

dont think theres a choice mate. you will have to remove the arms. ive done patrol ones before and just removed one arm at a time. the patrol bushes where metal outer case with rubber inner. i set my mapp gas / blow torch onto the rubber. it melted enough to just push the rubber out of the outer ...

dont expect fuel economy from any petrol 4wd. no matter what size or wether its 4cyl or v8 they are nearly all the same in mpg.

i got 31s for my hilux. the truck is mainly for work but goes to lcmp / glasshouse and the beach as often as i can. i chose them cos they could offer more klm for the same price. ive done just over 40k and prob at 50%. havnt had any dramas but never had dramas with tyres in general. they balloon ...

hey all. the pares asked me as to what they should get for a tow rig for there caravan as the 89 cruiser aint to comfy. i told them a pajero. we have seen a 02 diesel with 165k. full log books or the other is an 04 v6 with gas. both are exceeds which after dad sat in he doesnt want to look at ...

have you had a look around http://www.newhilux.net. have a look around at some of the mods you can do to create a nice capable off roader. look up mmaaxx truck.theres a big debate between long and short wheel base. personally i prefer the stability of long wheel base. ive had 2x GQs and 2x Gus ...

the quikest way to find out the ruling on it is just to start doing it. when you get pulled over get them to prove your doing something wrong and let us know the result.id be keen to know :lol:

the biggest problem i think you will have is u got a 350 and cruiser. to pull more than one trailer you ...

yeah was thinking of a trailer. might be a nice easy project next.

dont worry there will be some stickers but not sure what and how many now

well i might as well say its finished. got couple of little things to do like grille and snorkel inserts, nissan badge, connect the brakes up and find another shockie for the front,steering wheel and maybe a dummie spare wheel.

ive only had petrol patrols apart from one and thats because i got it with 120k on the clock. in this price range like my others its a gamble getting a good diesel thats been maintained, serviced and not flogged. ive only got petrols cos if something does need replacing or rebuilding its cheap. i ...

its alive and goes like the clappers. the 3 yr wanted to drive it and figured out which pedal makes it go. it hooked up and went dragging me along side as i reached in to the kill switch just as we drove into some trees. tonight the missus jumped in and held it flat and i remember thinking 5hit that ...

for a patrol i think its 32.4" is the max or something like that so they can turn you away on 33s

sorry fellas not alot going on with it. mechanically pretty much done. had to strip it paint it reasemble then wire it. so yeah mech wise id say 97% done. then ive got the body to tidy up and actually make it look like a GQ a bit more. im with out a patrol now but my boy will carry on the feeling of ...

yeah the v6 rips compared to even a standard 308 little alone a 253. they are one of the worst donks but im only looking at the v8 noise and i dont want too much ticker as it might start to cause grief with the rest of the drive train. its more for cruising and slow off road work. the vehicle wont ...

hey need some advice. after making a fatal mistake by getting rid of my 4by and getting a new hilux i realised its not going to give any thrills off road cos its a nice car.

enter mate with 86 dual cab td2.4 lux,motor shagged and me with 253 v8 laying in shed. i know i can put this in but are the ...

whats a good under body protection in regards to rust etc. is there any tough long lasting spray on products. i know theres fish oil but i was looking for something else this time.....

looking to sell gu ute soon as i have family needs so a dual cab is needed. a hilux is the only thing in the equation in my mind for work,camping and family. looking at 2000-2005 ifs models,sorry for being daft hear i presume there all ifs at this point. looking at either a 3.4v6 with auto or maybe ...

like most of these so called off roaders there only good for city driving. i know of one bloke got a manual one to camp with his buddies and the first trip it did up the beach the clutch died.apparently a common fault but seeing as the clutch died outside of normal driving he coughed up 2500 to fix ...

does any one know any one that sells 5litre metal jerry cans.
like this one.

nah no drive to front as yet. interesting about the mower set up.might have a look.was thinking of cv joints from steering shafts eventually welded onto end of axels.

not much to show at the mo.its in parts scatered around shed ready for all the undercarriage stuff to be 2pak which fingers crossed will be this sunday.then bolt it back together and start fine tuning the body shape.have driven it around the front lawn a few times before pulling apart.a little top ...
