Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi guys ........havent been on here for ages and was amazed that the other kia is gone......ah well u get that......so i thought i,d start one of my beasty.......
its a 99 sporty....4inch ironman lift .......custom front strut tops....31/10.5 r15 simex muds......and no scrubbage either.........have some rear suspension work in progress in the moment .....and an air locker on its way from Greece......its on a slow boat.......cant wait to get that......cheers

thats an old photo with me 30's on it here is the new one with 31.s

this is how it looks now.......have made custom sliders up and a light bar for some spots......

I'll hate my self for saying this, but that looks really good

Just need to get rid of the ugly front/rear bumpers and replace them with some steel

thanks rocky........it is ok to hate your self to ya know.........front and rear bars are next on the list then its time for more power........

Looks good

You aren't by any chance the person I spoke to in Penrith on a little trail earlier in the year?

nah mate........but wouldnt mind a run down there........

Lookin' good. Where'd you get the front bash plate or is it home made?

made it meself........bunnings sheet of aluminum.....

Thought you might say that.. Been planning similar. Might get a chance when they add another day or two to the week... eight days just ain't enough.

ok here is a good idea, how bout ya get some lux diffs and some zuk jinmy coils....4" kit and 33's and then come play hahahah not bein a pric but that is a mod that would make the sporty one heck of a car!!!!! peace

i have a few ideas in the pipeline so it just might wear a full axle one day in the front........want more power first......hehe
i think a hairdryer is in order......

Another Belmont person ;armsup:. You might have seen my sprung over black zook with Outer Limits stickers on the doors floating round every now and then. Feel free to say hi if ya ever see it, of feel like a quick spin up top of Hill st or somewhere close.

Layto....

seen this in action a cessnock top effort mate did well

i think ive seen this thing heading towards the F3 in thornleigh a couple o weeks back, maybe a month or 2, towing a V6 commo motor, is this the power that was chasing you (in the trailer)

Hey. this looks like a good fun litle truck. been thinking of updating the to a family mini truck and the sportage is at the top of the list. Have you had any serious problems???

Cheers B4T

just wondering if you had to change the gearing for the 31's how strong are the diffs is yours auto or manual have you had any problems with strength of any driveline components as i am seriously thinking of downsizing from my 80 series cruiser (5" lift and 33's see my avitar)

hey mate,
do you happen to know the the gear ratios of a manual transmission
2.0L RT turbo diesel engine that was used by the old body sportage?
How about the transfer case ratio? Anybody in forum who knows?
I have been searching the internet and the information I have is
the HP and the Torque but I havent seen anything about the
transmission gear ratio and the transfer case low ratio. Many thanks
in advance. cheers .
