Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah i saw that in the bible... but does that mean yes they'll can go on or no they wont?

Potentially a dumb question - so sorry.

Have searched but can't find...

Will stock Sierra rims of 1994 model fit the same year Vitara?

Or is the offset different?

cheers B4T - that's what i meant by half ruf, redrill the rear mounts

maybe thats what i should do on the rear too?

thing is i have the CJ5 springs at home - so i either use them or sell them

I'm considering doing a half ruf with OME rears and putting CJ5 springs in the rear (thus moving the rear diff back a bit as well) I would like to know from people who have done similar things without a driveshaft spacer - how have your experiences been? I read Steve's write up on RUF's and he said ...

Hey... This is my ride... stats so far: '94 wide track 50 mm shackles 40mm OME MD springs Shocks: VS rear in front - HiAce rear in rear 31' Simex Centipedes on offset rims Plan: Bodylift Longer shocks Wishlist: AIR LOCKERS! Virtual lift Gears 33's RUF http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z234 ...

That's awesome!

Can you take a viedo of it in action, youtube it and give us the link?

Or at least some pics?

Sooooo...

I'm assuming then that even with an airlocker, when you have it activated it will still be a bugger to steer... but the advantage is when u dont need the diffs locked u can just turn it off?

Yeah cost is the issue for me... I don't think i can justify shelling out for airlockers... I dont have powersteer, but find mine very easy to steer anyway - feels more like a weighty powersteer than a non-powersteer car (esp in contrast to a vitara when i drove that - crazy hard to steer!) Anyway ...

I'm with Steve - locker is the way to go... i want one badly! On that topic, sorry for the sorta hi-jack, but dont wanna start a new post with a similar question... Steve, you said that it doesnt make a difference with the hubs unlocked... does welding the front have any impact onraod with the hubs ...

Question for steve...

What are these covers you speak of that you can remove and allows you to run big tires?

Had a search but still confused....

Cheers

What ever "Sir" Camel...

It says "CENTIPEDE" on the tire wall... so kiss my a$$

Hey... Tire iron... just used and octopus strap (elastic strap with hooks on each end) and weaved it through the bottom holes on the wheel, crossed over the iron, and weaved back through the top holes and hooked the hooks together. Pretty easy. Could also do it with cable ties. I got the spare wheel ...

Yo Went to Newnes on the we, got a few pics: Stuck in the mud... http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z234/jamespbeasley/s.jpg Different angle... http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z234/jamespbeasley/s-1.jpg Just after getting free (Just added the indicators and parkers on friday night - pretty huh ...

Cheers highway-star... never done it before so just needed a bit of a walk thru.

Day off tomorrow so will give it a go then!

Also prolly need to do diff oil... anything tricky there or is it just undo both bolts, let it drain, do up bottom bolt, fill from top bolt?

Ok, had a look, and by "shifter hole" what exactly do you mean?
Do you mean:
- take the gear nob off and pour into the hole at the top of the gear stick?
- take the rubber gear surround, nob and stick out and fill it through there?
- or something else?

Thanks

When i put my 50mm ext shackles on my standard shocks would fit anymore. (i also found that the they were stuffed and needed replacing anyway). I got some gabriel shocks - commodore vs wagon for the front; hilux/hiace for the rear. You can find part numbers here: http://carl.outerlimits4x4.com ...

Vinyl floors baby!

Do they have to be filled from the bottom and therefore need an pump to do it, or is there an easier way?
I've only ever changed engine oil before...

Cheers

James

This is ridiculous mate - im always sorry to hear stories like this. I agree with Jim - put in the letter that if they dont respond by a certain date then you will go to the accc or get lawyers involved or something like that... If you have a mate who is a lawyer or works at a law firm maybe u could ...

Thanks guys - at least that gives me some confidence that there are cheaper options out there - i just gotta do a massive ring around! Coloured ones sound pretty cool! And lay80n, yeah thats a fair point, i think you're right so i'l have to do something this week case i'm going wheeling next w/e. I ...

Hey - sorry to resurect this thread - and to kinda hijack it... but Steve, you spoke about getting brake lines made up for about $28 each, but i can't find any anywhere near that price in Sydney Overkill, Enzed, and a couple of other random brake service centres have quoted me anywhere from $84 to ...

Yeah, as grimbo said, good ones are no less flexy. For eg i have found that the OME 40 mm lift is more flexy than my old stock springs. The ride is marginally stiffer, but they flex better (i dunno how that works - but it just does) I think as far as a 3 inch lift lifted sierra spring goes, cause ...

Hey, might be a bit late for this now seen as it sounds as though you have your shocks sorted, but there is a cheaper option for shocks. Check this thread out if you'd like... not gonna be as good as OME or Ranchos etc etc... but cheaper. I run them right now with 2 inch ext shackles and 40mm ome ...

Ok so there you go - learn summin new every day.

Maybe i should take my covers off too

Hey I reckon you're gonna struggle with those tyres with only a 1 inch shackle lift. I just put 31's on my zook, and when i first put them on i had 2 inch extended shackels, and they rubbed like buggery. They fit at first, but as soon as you try to turn the wheels thats when they rub badly. I had to ...

Hey man - that sounds great as i need a plug for my passenger side by this weekend!

Where did u get them from?

If you stand the springs up on the ground, the drivers side spring should be slightly taller than the passenger side spring

with that first one you would want to relocate your license plate the second one would constitute a nudge bar which should be legal and no bull bar would also be fine unless common sense is ruled all three should be legal Sorry, i dont think i explained myself well... I'm not talking about a bull ...

Hey Does anyone know what constitutes a legal front bar in NSW ? Does it have to go the whole way across the font of the car and infront of the tyres... like this: http://www.rhinoink.com.au/front_bar.jpg Or does it just have to cover the front of the chassis... like this: http://xs100.xs.to/xs100 ...

Nice work sierra boy - sounds like your truck is coming along well! I've just put 31 centerpedes on my WT and all it has is 2 inch shackle lift. I'm going to do either a 2inch spring lift or 2 inch body lift to start with - then if i find i need extra lift i'll do whichever i didnt do first - but ...
