Outer Limits 4x4 Board

OK. Awesome, I did one side and then thought about it.... reason being when i disasembled it, after taking the bearing off a bit of plastic came off after, but this must have being the old bearing seal and nothing more..

Thanks you've put my mind at ease.

Hey.

Another quick question regarding the seal on the rear axle assembly
after you've taken the bearing and retaining ring off and drum backing plate

you put the Drum plate on first, then the seal with spring facing the differential side, then bearing with spaced side facing drum and then the ...

Ok... I just got back home, i've being thinking about it and i realised while i was out that the side gear isnt ment to move anyway.... hence the spacers between the lockrights and pinion carrier... the lockright plates are suppost to move, but not the side gears..

SO i think your right about ...

Hey.

Ok I'm now in the middle of installing this lock right
according to step 32 of http://www.kenbeach.com/sammy_lock_right_install.htm
I'm suppost to have 0.012 inch's play in the side gear... now i dont think i have that and i cant measure it due to not having a dial meter....

Anyway i ...

I've picked up some bearings from repco and it doesnt look right, and i just want to confirm before i return them or if i have the wrong idea, they have the ...

For the people who have installed them themselves,
how hard is it to fit, you say it isnt hard, how much involved? EASY if you have basic hand tools
And what style? I.e. Lockright Rear with/without couplers?


Whats required after taking the centre out? Removing the ring gear (and spider gears if ...

What parts cataloge should i be using to find bits i'm after... the picture want33's posted before detailed for example the 3 pedels, the parts catalogue i'm looking at at suzuki info http://www.suzukiinfo.com/sierra/part_cat_samurai.zip dos'nt detail that...

I don't see the little needle roller bearing that goes in the output shaft.

O bugger. What's it look like? There seems to be 4 needle roller bearings all up in the kit.

From what i can see it looks like you got 2 sets of needle roller bearings for the counter shaft.
The one that is missing ...

The 4wd bearing is slightly larger isnt it? if thats the one your talking about then it wouldnt have fitted anyawy.. thanks for the reply...

As far as i understand the 2 ball bearings with springs behind them are just to give that clicking sensation when you move the gear stick

The Ball bearing in the middle is an interlock so that you have to be in 4wd before you go into Low Range....

now with the 4wd fork in 4wd, i can manage to bump ...

Hey guys,
Just in the middle of installing the 4.9 trail gear reduction gears...
all was going well, and was just assembling it now. about to close it up properly and decided to close it up and just check it goes together alright...

Anyway after closing it up, i wasnt able to get the shifter forks ...

Hey mate,

Just went through working out same thing for myself. (different ratio's though)
if you have the 5.1:1 Ratio in your diffs, there arnt really any commercial gears you can put in, that wont make you rev heaps on the highways...

If you've got 5.1 diffs with Calmini 4.16 Reduction Gears, and ...

Marutis and 1L zooks have the 4.1 ratios. I bring your attention to this because your selected choice in the spreadsheet is one with 4.1 diff ratios so unless you plan to find some WT Maruti diffs its pretty much impossible in a WT zook to have these ratios as the 1L centres are not interchangeable ...

Hey

I've made an excel sheet to help me work out my diff ratio's, transfer ratios and tyre sizes, to let me work out how to keep the highway speeds about the same whilst getting a decent reduction offroad.

Here

I've highlighted the configuration that i'm hoping for, just wondering if ppl can ...

Yeah... Its a 50... just from the can only really tell from the lights...

I've been to repco and picked up the brake booster repair kit for the LJ50
it was $45 Still waiting to fit it.

The rim got a sierra rim, from pick and payless...

Thanks for your help

Adam

Heh alright, well i will have a look later... its currently at my brothers, cause i dont ahve the room for it... From those pictures it looked closer to the LJ20 from the type of body it had, as the grill is gone, and i cant remember to many defining features to it

Thx

It Used to be a 2stroke motor, but now how a corolla 1.3 in it...
so its not a lj80.... it looks more like the picture of the lj20 that you posted . however the front grill has been removed and had a large radiator put in its place.. So i am pretty sure about it been a LJ20 now

I've downloaded the ...

The Vin Number is 13464312 so it dosnt really give any help to what it is, and its pretty rough, alot of home made stuff welded on, so not sure if pictures will help ... but for 150 nice little unit. Will try to get some photo's soon... any ideas if there is a register to look up the Vin number ...

Hey,

Just picked up an old LJ, And just got it running. :armsup:
A few questions however


1) The Master Cylinder is leaking Oil through the Firewall into the Cab...
Where would I go to get a seal for this car... and what is the best way to go about changing it out?

2) The Rims are they the same ...

Alright well for the time being i am going to stick to my little zook axels till i can get the hilux diffs, and run 32" tyres with the series 4 rockhopper

thanks

Adam

Well i will be unlocked this year....

So you think going hilux's is better than reinforcing/replacing the old suzi stuff?

Rb, who did your hilux diff conversion? or u do it urself?

also are the axels/cvs in all sierra's the same or the coily ones weaker or stronger than the leafies?

My End goal really hasnt being finalised,

I'm hoping... maybe in 3 years? (by time i finish my apprentiship) to have gotten, it running on 33"s on offset rims, i'm still thinking about the overkill coil covnersion, hilux diffs, lockers, and dont think i'll be doing much to the engine after the ...

Hey all,

By the end of the year i'm wanting to have put some work into my sierra, the goal was (a week ago),
to put 30" tyres under it and a series 1 rockhopper gearset as well as putting dakar leaves under it and new shocks etc... and maybe a Body Lift

anyway i went to snakeracing and also BBM ...

I take it ARB is a supplier of the old Man Emu Dakar range? last time i went their enquiring about springs they told me i needed to buy a whole kit, and it dosnt bolt straight up?? or would that have being a different range they were trying to sell?

Thx Adam

Do the EFS springs fit straight into where the original suzuki springs fitted? or do you need to replace the shackles and a whole lot of other stuff? I'll happily buy new leafs for it if it is simple swap, to keep the cost down...

Otherwise i may just extend my shackles and then if i buy new leaves ...

Well i have plenty of access to various sizes & thicknesses of flatbar, i had a look at the image of the extended shackles at snakeracing... they have a piece of rhs in the centre joining both sides, is this necessary? derelict's setup doesnt have them? do the shakles take alot of stress? or is it ...

Alright, i was going to be going all terains, since i use the car to drive to work... so the cheapest easiest option for me at the moment seems to be get extended shackles, a 2 inch body lift, and keep the flat springs.... and redo my shocks... Which works well for me, since i wont be splurging a ...

Might go 30's then... will 30's seriously fit when the leave's are FLAT?!

if so that may be the easiest option... do body lifts need engineering? at http://www.bigballsoffroad.com/category3_1.htm it says they do... do most ppl here just drive around without it? and hope they dont get defected or ...

um i was only going for a small set :? ... 30's or 33's from what i read, i believe that 33's are much more prone to snapping axels... and i dont wanna be caught in a situation like that for awhile... so 30's i'm thinking unless 33's snapping axels is a myth or is a simple way to overcome it ...
