Outer Limits 4x4 Board

After 5 minutes running and a cold top hose! I'd put my money on a thermostat as well.

Pretty sure that they are different lengths

Could anyone tell me if they spring length changed over the life of the 75 series models? (troopy) Same question for shocks.


Thanks in advance

Does my 97 model 4.5 petrol have a timing belt and if so how often does it need replacement?

Thanks

Tony

Does anyone know if you can get stronger axles to use with a 10 spline air locker?

Haven't broken one yet (probably because I DO have spares) but it would be nice to not have to be afraid to spin up my 32inch mongrels.

Tony

Dont know about your car but some makes have different sizes of sprigit bearing for different input shafts (rover from memory do????)
Maybe the sprigot bearing in you new motor is to small for your gearbox input shaft.

Just a thought and good luck.

Does anyone know of any online manuals or instructions for assembling the hubs on my 75 series.

Thanks in advance

Tony

Painted my FJ40 in killrust red years ago (Well before roothy did!). Started with a wagner power painter and then got bored wasting paint and used a brush (after thinning out the paint a little).
Painted the fence, house and everything else at the same time but it looked good, well better anyway ...

Have you ruptured an oil cooler line somewhere between the auto and the radiator?

Have a rangie pressure plate somewhere. What dimensions do you need?

150mm Or at least the ones sitting next to me are!

Get and old tarp and cover them up! Sure beats trying to get the mud and clay out of the carpet!

Thanks for both your input.

I did a couple of hours of steep uphill work on the weekend so I don't think its and airlock.

I made my own shroud to fit and the fans push heaps of air through the radiator. (You can see it coming out under the engine bay your pants flap in the breeze!)

Would ...

My 3.5 is getting to hot at high revs as follows:

-Low range work at high revs (climbs to 'H")
-High speed ie 80+ kph road (¾ temp)

Have changed thermostat, near new radiator, hoses seem OK. Have just replaced fan with dual thermos (14inch). One is front one behind (Heaps of air flow!) top ...

Yep they do touch on full lock. I got bored of looking at this prob and thought I'd check the water. Filler plug seized! Longer Spanner! Damn cracked top of tank! Looking for my solder now! You live and learn. Perhaps a bit of heat would have helped!!!!

Sure do but only at one end of there travel (tie rod end) Hope I made sense put it up on stands and it does it on both sides. I checked my mates 84RR and all looks the same but it doesn't do that. I'll have to do some measuring. Perhaps the diff housing, swivel housing, tie rod ends or caliers are ...

Thanks Sam,

Love your buggy!!

Have replaced the bushes but will get under and do them up really tight. Makes sense!!

Yes the stops do aim to hit the housing but stop about 2mm short when the tie rod ends hit the brake calipers! The stop bolts are orig and at the end of the thread so I can ...

What stops the steering on my 78 classic? Even with the stops wound all the way out they touch nothing! Is this normal? Does the box take the load on full lock?

Another prob is an annoying click / clunk (Sounds like a CV click) but only does it once then is quiet.(Have never heard a CV click ...

Have you been through water or mud that could have got in through the seals and filled it up with water?

From experience (have both) my troopie 4.5litre is heaps better towing than my rangie 3.5l or my mates 4.2 rangie
a) the 4.5 has heaps more go
and
b) the leaf springs in the rear make handling a lot more predictable
and
c) the 4.5 keeps its cool no matter what you throw at it.

Dont know ...

Thanks but 34's would spell a sorry end to my 10 spline axles and CV's

Can you get a JT2 in a 32 inch or there abouts height. I have 7 inch rims
Any info on links for spec sheets and / or pricing in Vic would be a huge help.

Thanks in advance

Have you ever priced stage 1 half shafts OOUUCCHH!!!!!!!!!

I use rubber of truck guards that was about $8 per metre at a truck parts place. They had both types (ie vert and horiz mounting)

Thinking of doing the same myself but haven't come up with s plan yet. Oh and I have a pretty average selection of tools etc. Good Luck! I'll keep watching this topic

Sorry Tony the SIII/Stage1 Salisbury is offset a fair bit, at least 6" or more

Must have my eyesight checked!! Sorry! Perhaps the transfer case is furthur to the right due to the engine being more central???
Either way my mates prop shaft is on a much more acute sideways angle than my rangie

The landrover STAGE 1 V* with rangie running gear had a salibury rear diff (centred or Bl@@dy close to) had a look at one yesterday and yeah the driveshaft is a little longer than my rangie (prob 10cm) but if it works for the factory!!

Besides a tow bar, what are people using as a 'substantial' rear tow point?
Any ideas (Cheap ones!!!!)

I am thinking of putting a plate between the upright mounts under the floor so that the cage could only push down a couple of inches if the body was squashed. This would also mean it isn't attached to the chassis There is an unresolved [for me] debate amongst some of the guys here as to whether it ...

Dont know but I was told that there is only one tube that is good enough to use a a roll cage.

PS If you go for a four point I am after one to! Might be cheaper somewhere!
