Outer Limits 4x4 Board

183 @ the wheels.
Did you end up going coil pack ignition?
oh yeah, can you Tonka the pics?

cloughy wrote:Nobody cares but it was back on the dyno again for another tune, 183bhp and its a crapload smoother to drive, got to get another trip in before the navnite but but not bad considering a stock 3.5 on the same dyno is 60bhp

Sounds good!!

183 is damn nice!!

Any recent pics of the truck?? Last pics i have seen it was still unfinished.

I hate you having all that power on tap, and even more for saying the 3.5 only puts out 60HP!

No it can't be true...where the f does all that fuel go then???

More pics please!!

I'll get some pics this week, anyone want to host them and all that stuff, all the ones i had attached have been deleted

Nah haven't gone coil pack, that was only to fit an eaton supercharger cause the dizzy is in the way, but i think its more hassle than what its worth, may still look into a centrifigal pump, or up the comp to 10:1 or maybe leave it alone, not sure yet

haha, thats 2 posts in nearly as many days that i've reccommended Photobucket, gotta be commission in it i reckon.

thats almost exactly what i had in my head for my tray when i build it properly!!!

can we get a peek of the back of ya chassis

Cheers

Simon

Its just cut off with a 10mm plate across with enough room between the crossmember and the plate for this other highmount i got, when ateco sends the parts get some pics tomorrow

took cloughys ute for a drive yesterday.it pulls well,nice and smooth all the way to the limiter.should be fun in the bush..

looks good. I would like a RR comp truck in that style.

Thats a nice job there dude.
Tell me, i'm doing a few missions myself on a Rangie but i need to buy a welder. It would be nice to be able to take it away with me something you can't do with a mig, tig or stick.
I can get a nice tig for about $580
Don't know yet about migs and stick, well you get that with a or this tig i'm looking at.
However there is a mob in melbourne who sell a product called DHC 2000 Welder formely called Henrob 2000 which is based on the gas welding principle but their asking $699.00 for a hand piece and some nozzles, damb dear I think. Yet, it has a good write up.

What have you used on your mods, looks like some nice welding there.

This is what this gas welder is supposed to do and would be quite mobile.
1. Weld and repair Aluminium, Cast Iron and
Stainless steel to TIG strength.

2. Weld car panels & up to 1/2" thick steel with
minimum distortion

3. Save at least half the cost of gas and filler rods

4. Do the work of a $5000 plus 3 Phase TIG Welder at a fraction of the price

5. Cut up to 1" thick steel like plasma cutter.

Would be nice to have something realy versatile.

yes you can you just need a generator to run it off!!

evanstaniland thanks for the reply.
I heard somewhere depending on the generator $$$$$$$ that the smaller once or cheap once have too much voltage fluctuation or something.
Beside welder and Generator ? $$$$$$$$$$, less to spend on my toy.

No nice welding there, just a mig

thats true, i know that the bigger comp fellas NEED them at comps such as WeRock and im sure it would come in handy if its at other comps, wouldnt bother bringing unless i had a base camp and tw rig!! But when your competing like the buggies you need to budget the price of the generator and welder into the overall cost!!

this is one sweet truck it looks even better in person

Cloughy,
Nice job. I just hope I can get mine looking as good as that.

I am still waiting on the ute kit (yes I'm cheating) from LRA but it should be ready soon.

end of march!!

Yes I know.

I spoke to Andrew last weekend at the 4x4 show. He said he had all the parts ready but just needed to get the panels to the folder.

So do we know what it is going to cost yet?

wanna decipher that for us Eyby? and should you start a new thread, cause we're doing a good job of filling up cloughy's ute thread?

Speaking of utes i want more pics of the build..... well any ones build 2 door or 4 door disco or fender i want the pics of where the tray meets the chassis.... where the body has been finished etc... all the really tech pics not just posing pics. I am going to use a kit but it dosnt come with a destruction manual so its going to be interesting at times. And to make things really interesting i am going to try and graft my sun roof in to the ute roof to keep it fit for the queen!!

mickrangie
i have a look and see if i can find disk with the ute photos ,
mine is in members i keeped the tub,
we did cut one down that cloughy got to look at before he did his as a tray , when we did it we unpicked the spot welds were rear floor steps up and were going to finish it up about 4" short then cloughy made his tray
i also made another ute that was a tub aswell the one that was on ebat but burnt in fires,
pm me with email if i find disk ill burn one and send to u to have a look
cheers chris

Then you can send on the photo's to me.

Maybe when we get closer to build time we better make a trip down to Cloughy's

Hi Eyby and Shakes,

The Ritters auto conversions are interesting and Shakes has a point with the decipher. The conversions weren't all C4's - some were C6's and some were C9's. The one I bought with a RR for parts I thought was a C4 before the reco/bulletproof when I was told it was a C9. It now sits behind a 350 Chev, crawls in LR and is magic on the road. I have talked to Noel at Ritters a couple of times about these conversions (he was there when they were providing the first auto box option and maybe aircon for RR's on behalf of LR Aus, in the world). It's an interesting story that probably should be fleshed out in the sticky section.

cheers, DL
