Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Does anyone else have issues with the Marks Adpator from a T700 to hilux transfercases coming loose at the 4 mounting bolts on the rear of the Box.... mine continueally comes loose and now one bolt hole is stripped... Peice of shit...
Im making a solid brace from the T700 Gbox mount back to the front transfercase mount to try to stop it seperating again....

Has anyone made these braces before do they work or what... Iv seen a few done in the states..

Mate is have the Same issue as you Matt with T700 to Hilux in 2 car's. Hilux and Bundera. He was saying something about Drilling out the thread and running a bolt instead of the studs. I'll ask him and get back too you.

Mate had MASSIVE Issues with the Marks from T700 to GQ. Seperated the 2 all the time, never sealed, dropped fluid, stripped a few stud's.

This is the kind of brace i was talking about

You will find that if the kit had been ordered for comp. use the brackets you are talking about would have been included. Mark did that for their Bundera that was comped.

Its not just a problem with Marks addapters. Allmost all brands suffer the same issues when addapting anything to the Turbo boxes. The pic above is a good fix and worth the effort.

Comp or not comp i know of 3 mates that have never comp there trucks that have dont the same... and only run single transfer cases. So what your saying is incorrect...

very simple fix

cross drill the heads of the bolts and twist wire them ...fixed

Mate with the Adaptors problem's wanted me too add "Ring Marks, Ask them. They'll tell you that there's has never come undone and it's the frist they've heard of it. IF something is wrong it's been installed wrong"

How about loctite super lock?? Just a pain when ya want to pull it apart.

Does that mean Marks sell that Bracket seperatly ?, i have the same occuring problem.

Give them a call mate.

They claim the Problem doesn't exist.

check the face of the adaptor is flat my mates did the same thing. got the face machined and fixed the problem.

Locktite?

I have a T700 with a 60 series transfer case. I rebuilt the auto & transfer case last year & it was the first time a spanner had touched them since the car was built 7 or 8 years ago & they were still nice & tight. I will get under it now just to check now though.

Made a brace like the pictures above last night hopefully this will fix the issue.... ... if it doesnt...mmmmm maybe just alloy weld the lot together...lol

alloy welding means you can never get it apart again tho.... cable ties would be way more practical make sure they are heavy duty ones tho

That part of the box if welded you can still remove all parts no problem but I'm hoping it will never come to that
The brace will fix it
