Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I think this might be a stupid question but here goes Went out a couple of weekends ago and was wheeling okay for the first couple of tracks, then there was a sound coming from the front hub/bearings, the sound went after I unlocked the hubs so didn't think it was the bearings as I thought the sound ...

When I was looking into this I noticed that there is a metal strap that can go over the top of the mount to stop it tearing, I think I saw it on ebay when I was searching for the mounts, can't remember exactilly but it could be something to look into.

yes I hae

go the winch, I just got a locker installed and I'm thinking this is going to get me into trouble. had the winch first, never used it but now I got the locker I'm thinking only one winch isn't going to work If you learn to drive unlocked it'll be better than being lazy and just flicking the switch ...

I got 5 inch, with everything mentioned to correct it drives fine as it's not a race car, no sway bars, flexy coils, mega flex radius arms, still chopped the fronts and rear quarters. Not a fan of body lifts, had a shorty 2+2 went fine but shorties are way different to lwb cars so can't compair them ...

if the ARB ones are cheaper go for them. Also if there is a waiting list for TJM then that would suggest that spare parts could be a problem.

I'm not a fan of bolt on ARB but lockers are one thing that have on my car that I don't mind, and acutally enjoy

Cheers for the replys,

The powerstearing pump would have been a good idea, but taken that off now too, might just have to put it back on and give it a go

anyways it shouldn't be stuffed (fingers crossed) and be back on the track real soon

cheers

Just wondering what size the nut is on the end of the crank shaft that holds the pulleys on. Sprung a oil leak on the weekend and just wanted to make sure the engine didn't seize before i try and start it again. There was still oil left in the engine and didn't heat up too much before i realised so ...

buy it back and just fix it dosen't look too bad if ya want a quick job just attach a chain to something strong and give it a tug, thats all the smash repairers do (well its a bit more scientific lol) it looks as though it might be a total loss but depends on the year and how much you have it ...

cheers for that ozy1 sounds like the problem

whats the deal with the alt?

I got the same problem but it is pouring out and at the side of the road

what is the deal just a couple of seals or hoses or trip to mechanics?

cheers

hey not sure what the problem is but i try and start a GQ Patrol and its not turning over and looks like the immobiliser kicks in and nothing happens the lights on the dash go out to indicate that the immobilizer has turned on again I tried to have the car jump started but that didn't change things ...

Mate know how u feel!!! I was having the same problem found out to be the seal near the thrust washer (not sure of the real name but you have the inner axel seal then another one that goes on next near the thrush washer, hey just going on memory!!) got that sitting flush again and was able to finsih ...

I was looking to do the same, cutting the whole roof off the GQ and leaving the back style side but didn't know what to do with the windscreen, ie support and stuff. There was a GU ute at the nissian trials that had the roof cut off and the windscreen was supported by the roll bar wouldn't mind some ...

can you bend the washers so they don't come undone?

whats the go with oil stabilisers (sp)

I was told they can help with small leaks and stuff I was hoping this would be enough to stop a minor leak in the hubs?

Cheers

nah call the rta

they have a written off vehicle register

I think the vehicle has to be less than 10 years (not sure need to check that) and it gets entered in a database

if its over that then there isn't a record

give em a call and they should be able to let you know

Hey

I have a swb and with a 2" suspension and 2" body they still rub on full flex on the fiboglass flairs, nothing I can't deal with, just cracks the flairs every now and again, but worth it hey!!

cheers

Ash

sounds like the go hey as the footy has been washed out and would be a good time to go for a play as i have a weekend!!!

bypassing is as easy as fixing the two wires that exit the unit and fixing them together? or is there more to it?

cheers

Hey all have a bit of a problem with the immobilser at the moment I try and start the truck and charge the glow plugs turn the engine over and just before it fires all the dash lights go off and the indicators flash just like when you acivate the immobilser apart from bypassing the unit is there ...

cheers for that

Hey all

cheers

I'm not sure if shannon's auction 4x4 but I think they are called WA Auto Auctions and they are in Bentley

Thanks for the reply, it gives me somewhere to start

Cheers

Hey all, Just wondering if there is any easy way for to modify the rear sliding windows in a SWB patrol. I was wanting to have both windows open ie the front and rear where the storage area is. I know they don't come standard and not sure if anyone has wanted to do this to their vehicle but the dogs ...
