Outer Limits 4x4 Board

has anybody used these for the front of their lux without any trouble cuase im thinking about it Ive got a dropped crossmember with spring hangers in front and shackle mounts welded under the frame and these are the right length closed,(slightly longer than standard), to keep the geometry right.

DAMN - I thought this was a porn link for sure

Both my wife and I have Climaxed on/in my Lux

Aren.t some people lucky Guts

Are you defent about that, guts?

I`d bet my lux on it

Ahhh, C'mon. Put down something worthwhile!!!!

RE: Another thread

Hope anybody/everybody you know fighting fires is OK. I live a long way south of the fires, but do most of my 4WDing between Falls and Omeo.
Looks pretty devastating.

Yep fires are real bad up ere atm.

Also I myself wouldn`t waste my time with revolers/climax etc shackels.

dude i dunno how they wood go an a lux rear of the front springs on a lux i think if u got the right spring pax yeah 4 sure but the onther thing 2 look out 4 is they amount of travel u will gain in the front shaft, and also is the steerin gunna handle a climax up front.


but i have heard of the yanks runnin the revolvers up front with excellent results so i guess that i climax will be similar it will just bind up quicker than than a revolver

It's like the two men playing checkers... they weren't playing eachother at the same time! Who's to say they both climaxed in the same session?! :wink:

Climaxs are just for the Rear of hiluxs, the front cant take that much travel (tries to tear the torque arm off/ screw it through the diff , and steering issues )

yeh but got no torque bar on the front & high steer so those are no worry ....juz searchin for that extra travel....

So without the torque bar , what's it like when you hit the anchors hard?

With high cross over steering like snake`s high steer it should still pull up straight as the steering doesn`t pull it around anymore.

dont u sell snakes histeer ??

u dont need histeer only crossover and u r able 2 remove the torque bar and it wont do anything stupid.

i ran mine 4 3 months with j-arm steerin and the torque bar removed with absolutely not effect in handling ewen under hard brakes with soft springs

Yeah we do, the high steer solves the problem of not getting much right lock at full articulation but I can't see how it could stop the castor going wild under hard braking.

The castor still changes but the draglink/pitman isn't being pulled by the castor change cause it no longer perpendicular to the axle like the j-arm setup is. The direction of the draglink is what causes the brake-steer, not the castor change.

landcruisers come factory with no torque arm and crossover steering, same front caster, so why doesnt the castor on them go wild under hard braking?

how did toyota ever release this rubbish? oh, you say late model suzis are the same? OMG!! why is that?

Becuase landcrusiers are not shackle reversed, so under brakes they dont get as bigger change in caster. Aslo under brakes with a shackle at the rear weight transfer is more pronounced as the front wheels moves backwards under compression. blah blah
I am most likley talking crap .. but thats the way I understand it..

Shackles are in the front of suzi.
Do a Spring over and shackle reversal on a Cruiser then it'll be like a hilux.

yeah...done, doesn't wobble under braking?

what have i done wrong?
ive got soft springs and soft shocks, spring over, dropped front hanger, shackle reversal.......

i think wendle is right when he says:
"The castor still changes but the draglink/pitman isn't being pulled by the castor change cause it no longer perpendicular to the axle like the j-arm setup is. The direction of the draglink is what causes the brake-steer, not the castor change."

and therefore the crossover steering setup which i have installed is far and above the stock junk!

ive done a shackle reversal on my lux just like the cruizers and absolutely love the setup
