Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Does anyone have one out here?

Are they any good or do they have their issues?

Yuri sell one for Toyotas and Nissan

Could be made to fit a zook
I'd be concerned with the front diff holdiong up

Jim and I have got a Yuri disconect on the buggy , its good stuff.

I think the front diff will hold up, hay Jim

I know there where a couple of guys who had em

Mock

G'day Mock!

Not sure what you are planning Jim but there will a couple in the club in a little while.

The look the goods and are very small and neat. I guess time will tell if they are up to the job. As yet I have no idea about how they shift, how they stand up to mud or anything, but for the price, they are far cheaper than even trying to work something out in the shed.

as for strength- I am sure they will be fine. I have never heard of anyone breaking a front drive dog on a sierra case, and the rear disconnect looks far bigger than that.

Those of us that will be running them will also be on double toughs. I am not planning on mine for full on competition style digs but rather to get more maneuverability in technical terrain. At least initially, I won't be running cutting brakes so it's just to get the front to move around without having the back pushing.

Steve.

Running slightly oversize diffs in mine with cutting brakes but still need o do some speed.

Any ETA on the ones in the club steve?

Probably by late May at the latest.

Hey... update your sig

Hay G

The Yuri Disconect is so, so beefy and well made, and for my aplication/Competition crawling it is perfect, it also gets used on high traction surfaces and gets shifted in difficult situations, so I think the strength is needed.
Think the trail tough disconect will be fine for what you guys want to do with them

Mock

Word, Mock

I was very impressed with the look of your pimpin' yuri disconnect, but it is hard to argue with the neatness and price of the trail tough.

anyway, at least if we bust it we should be able to just throw a stock flange back on and drive home.

PS just checked your youtoob video for round 2 via Pirate. Nice work! the rodent looks like it is delivering the goods!

i noticed that a about a week ago. I was gonna pm you about it and ask if you made a typo with the link, and if you had any pics of the zuk...

That would have been gold.

don't worry, I'll get sick of it soon, and post something like:

custom sierra hard top, coils all round, front/rear disconnect transfer case, 16" rims, 1.6 EFI motor... and a photo of a lada niva, but I couldn't resist a little dig at the hilux axle/spoa crew.

Who would want a sierra hard top with coils all round and disconnect???

Anyway i'm ordering my disconnect tomorrow morning.

dig.

how did it go? anyone else running one?

Have only used it a couple of times, seems to be OK. Install is easy.

Value for money its OK.

Build quality is not anywhere near the Yuri4x4.com unit.

Had mine on a while. I don't have enough lock or front grip to use the disconnect much, but even with my lack of lock it does reduce turning circle when crawling.

Mines been through heaps of mud and done quite a few road kams and is fine. It dies need a bit of a shove to get it started this would be fixed with grease , but I'm reluctant to grease it as it will just trap dust and grit.

I'm very happy.

Steve.

so do you still think it was worth the money steve?

Any pics of how it mounts up? As im planning to lift my transfer 2" or so and hoping that it dosent interfere with disconnect fitment.

Transfer case is on the ground at the moment, if you need other pics send me your email address.

what are you boys using for a handbarake????

The original handbrake in the rear drums.

I'm guessing rear brakes

I want to get one and combine it with a disc transfer case handbrake possible?

EDIT: you beat me

me too, i want to get one but need handbrake(mine is on transfer)

Mine had a transfer mounted handbrake, my diffs are not Suzuki and are about to get discs on the rear anyway.

My two handbrake options are:

1. Have a small disc manufactured with a motorcycle caliper mounted to the rear driveshaft

2. B&M Launch control, brake lock off solenoid. This is the really easy option, as to how long it will hold i am not sure. This is also not roadworthy.

if you where to put a disc on the transfer case still would it go before or after the disconnect

it would have to go after the disconnect... (driveshaft side)

sierrajim what about a push button line lock. No elecs to worry about, although you'd need to 'T' it in to your brake line. I'm unsure if it could work for rear brakes only or if its just designed to hold all 4 though...
check lowrangeoffroad in the brakes section..

The electric solenoid would give the option of having them front and rear with one button activation. This way i have a four wheel park brake.

The third option that Mock ran on Critta is to run the park brake cable to the foot brake, this would require a realy to be wired in to cut power to the brake lights when the ignition is off to avoid a flat battery. This also (i think) is un roadworthy but does provide a 4 wheel handbrake.

I already have cutting brakes on the rear to use in conjunction with the disconnect.

Yes, a disc park brake would have to be mounted AFTER the disconnect.

I have my bits, just need to sit down and work it out

Or Just run a hydro modded stock handbrake as I do with my rear cruiser /calipered housing .....and I also have the B&M line lock setup

any more info on this hydro handbrake A1? where it mounts, use the standard handbrake lever????

thanks....

Muz.

Just wondering do these actually lock connected or disconnected, and is there any chance they will move during transit. The reason I ask is that when I tow mine, the back wheels stay on the ground and I need to remove the drive shaft and having the disconnect will mean I wont need to lay in the dirt to reinstall it
