Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all.

Advice please - trying to sell my SPOA conv for above patrol - dropped it from 1100 to 900 and now to 700 for diffs (end to end) hi steer set up and drive shafts... Still no replies...

You guys recon I am asking too much?????

Cheers

Mk

you just gotta wait for the right person to see it???? price sounds reasonable

its a good price Mark.

ORI wants near $4000 installed, and just the parts alone not even welded on the diffs are prob worth near $2500.........

Urs are already welded and done...

All the fitting thats involved it bolting it all up.

Its a good as price

SOA in a day

Are you meaning for an SWB or LWB

Its for a shorty but its easily changed for long wheel base for about 50 - depends what you got height wise already ya know - still cheaqp as hell an I will throw in all sort fo spares if you wish as I am trying to get my garage cleaned out hence low price....

Screwy knows more about my set up than I do.

Cheers

Mark.

The kit will fit both, its just the rear castor correction that makes a difference, and to overcome that u can just add or reduce the number of leaves in the pack to get the angle u want.....

worse case senario would be to cut off and re weld the top SOA mounts to the desired castor.

The front will not need to be changed.

cheers

screwy

So I wouldn't be able to leave the amount of leaves that are in the MQ there
I don't have any welding equip

After the SOA i can garuntee u wont want to leave the std amount of leaves in there. The car will sit miles too high and u will have gained NO added flex.
Remove leaves to get flex, the idea of the soa is to give u the hieght so u can do that.
If u tried removing too many leaves out of a Sprung under rig it would be sitting on its guts

Have u got an SWB or LWB?

if its an SWB theres a good chance u can leave the kit as it is without having to chage the leave packs, if its a LWB however, the pinion angle may be too high for the length of the wheel base so mods would be needed in that instance.

U really cant go wrong for the money hes asking as engineering mobs want over $3000 to do SOA.
And worse case senario u will have to spend an extra $100 to get the rear mounts adjusted at a local welding mob.

cheers

Thanks for that Screwy

It would be for a LWB, so then I'd have to get the rear changed.
I'd have to give Cheezy a ring and see if they would be able to do it there.
So how much at a guess would have to be put into the rear shaft, as I'd say that would then be too short.
As for taking out some leaves would 2 be enough?

i payed $150 to get me drive shaft lengthened. Playing around with the leaves is sometimes a case of trial and error. Just get an oxy kit to open up the spring clamps for you and the rest can be done with a spanner, once your happy with the setup close the clamps again...or for insane flex leave them open.

Be aware setting the rear drive shaft angle can be a bit of work. I'm sure cheezy can help you there if needed, or else buy a good double cardon joint, big dosh though $500+ i think

thinking about it, if you can't weld I wouldn't bother attemping this mod, there are many little niggly things like shock mounts that need time to setup properly.

I'd go buy a shitty GMC $99 joby stick welder and learn the basics, That welder will do everything you need to do to complete this mod from the stage you'd be at with this mostly complete kit. otherwise you'll be paying top dollar for someone else to do it.

just my advice

cheers

With a LWB u may find that u might not have to lengthen the shaft, im not sure but the LWB's shaft angle wont change much when u do this, the shortys one does.

As said lengthening and balancing shafts is worth about 150 a pop, With regards to the leaves u dont wanna run any less than 4 in a LWB rear and maybe 5 in the front as they are heavy, i Run 3 all around in mine and they are almost flat.

All in all u will come out with a complete SOA for not much over $1000, whereas workshops want 2000 just for the kit and none of it is welded, for them to fit it its worth like 3500

Its worth a crack

Thanks for that Screwy

Can supply a Cardin joint (double) for $100 extra of a custom drive shaft I pulled from an old truck of mine....

Cheers

Mark

can i buy your high steer???

Man I'm interested as for the whole lot
Coz I'd have to do that b4 I could really put larger feet on it

What area you in??

He is in sydney, i will be going up there to pick up a engine. If you are interested i can bring them back with me for a bit of juice money

Sorry my friend - don't wanna get rid of it in bits - want to sell as a whole...

Dave - If mere male wants it I will give you my turbo set up for free as fuel payment dude if you keen?

Meremale - its a good setup and I would run it on mine but I have no use for it as I only do minor off road stuff - rather coat myself in mud than try and climb everest ya know???

Screwy - Sellin the chev and just gonna get a $500 L28 - rusty if needs be - whack my panels on her and paint her up quick, whack a 5 in ch lift and 32s under her and thrash her in the mud as hard as she will go - thinking of putting 260Z dual carby set up on her or making turbo setup for her....

Cheers all.

Hi Mark

Sorry it's been so long for me to answer
I'd still love to get it but atm my ex is making it hard for me to see the kids so I'm gonna have to put things on hold for a while till I get that all sorted out and settled

Let me know.

Cheers

Ok - I am gonna drop the price to $500 as in for sale section - if it doesn't go in a week its going on ebay....

Let me know peoples.

Mk

Mark

I just saw what price you've put on it and with me going off tap at that price the Mrs has said yes

So I'll take it if ya still want to sell and how do u want to do the money???
Also if Screwy is still coming down in late Nov I'll meet up with him for it all, if the offer is still valid that is.
Plssss Screwy

The Mrs said yes but now have to jack her car up as soon as the weather is ok and do both of her cv's

But in all it's a very small price to pay for the SOA and she is really worth it too

Yeah I know what you're thinking (suck suck) LOL Can hear yah all from here.

well PM me for ur ideas when it gets a little closer...

Mark also said that electronic bank transfer is fine for payment if u havent spoken to him.....

screwy

Screwy you dont want to bring an engine down to melbourne as well, would save me driving up there, its coming from mark to.....

Happy to provide some fuel dollars..

Let me know

Thanks

David

Dave - I think he was actually gonna say the same thing to you because he is unsure of his plans at this stage.....

Cheers

Mk

Hey,

If ur coming up i was going to ask if u would like to take the lot as u will have a trailer.

I will not be bringing a trailer down that way unless i have to, so if i have to bring the diffs i can bring the motor.....

BUT, im not sure of the dates and things of my trip as yet as family situation at present makes me un committed, i may not get away till january yet i dont know

BUT

i hope to leave on the 27th of november at this stage if all goes well.

Ill take it all if ive got the fuel money as i will have to bring a trailer which i wouldnt of other wise

What are ur plans.......????

screwy

I dont realy want to drive to sydney full stop, as the only reason i am going there is to pick up an engine, not real keen on doing the drive in the old mq, and fuel is going to cost me a forturn as the old girl needs that engine bad...

If you would bring it down i would be greatly appresiated, i would throw in some juice money, and have a mate that wants his 60 series diffs adn would probable throw some money in also

ATM cant think of anything worse than driving ten hours sleeping then driveing ten hours back
