Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Any pics Stu?

YankeeDave do you have any others of your rig?

cheers,

My main battery was doing this. I noticed it a few weeks ago then on the weekend it dropped a cell Not sure if it was indicative or not...

I hope yours isn't on the way out.

Too right it is mate! I can get on with real important stuff now like redoing the bar work on my tray



cheers again,

Luke

Problem solvered! :P

A short in the number plate light assembly light cradle was the cause of the fuse blowing.

The bulb wattage in the tail lights were causing the wire to heat up excessively as well being far higher than they should have been.

Thanks for all your suggestions and help!

...now ...

We'll I've pulled the damned thing apart in every place I can think to look for the problem.

I've got it working now and not blowing the fuse but the wire gets very hot. It was even smoking at one point! I thought she was gonna go up in smoke...in my garage!

I think it's one for a leccy...unless ...

I have one pos coming in from battery (constant power - inline fuse) and one coming from an auxillary fuse box through a switch (instead of keyed switch).

I guess I'll have to pull it out and have a look :cry: As much as I don't want to... I hope this saves me having to pay an auto leccy a small ...

Thanks TC.

I wired the stereo independent of the main circuitry. IE I use a seperate switch to turn it on and off independent of the accessory key switch.
So it should have not compromised any of that circuit.

I did just find that the lockers were tapped into the parkers circuit just behind fuse ...

Removed parker bulbs - still blows fuse :(

Looked in steering column and can't see any obvious shorts or bare wires

Where might be another potential/likely cause? Do I have to pull the dash apart?

cheers,

Luke

Cheers Scott!

Now, where can I get a wiring dia?

Thanks fellas!

I'll go with the parkers and then to the steering column - I removed it a few weeks ago now... might be the cause.

I can't say the wiring that has been done on it is top notch (it is 20 yrs old) and had a few accessories and extranious stuff added/removed over the years (previous ...

I tried my luck with this one in the toyota section and got very little response...thought I'd try in here :?

The fuse for my dash and tail lights keeps blowing :(

Any ideas where to start looking for the fault?

It's an '86 2L Diesel Hilux.

I had done no wiring work between when it was ...

No help huh?

It's an '86 2L Diesel Hilux.

I had done no wiring work between when it was working and the next time when they weren't working

I went to work in the morning and they were fine then come time to go home I noticed they weren't working :(

cheers,

Luke

I just fitted one from a Jeep Grand Cherokee into mine... works a treat!

No tail lights either... any help?

The fuse for my dash lights keeps blowing :(

Any ideas where to start looking for the fault?

thanks!

Here's a pic -



The flares on there now are really quite stiff. Do they need to be softish so as to not harm pedestrians etc incase I hit one

cheers,

Luke

Cheers boys!

The legality I'm concerned with not complying to is having my tyres outside my guards, not so much the specific wheel track.

I'll look into those option, and put some pics up in the next few days of my Lux.

cheers,

Luke

Currently the rubber I'm running sits outside the width of my guards.

I have black plastic/rubber flare type guards (home jobs) mounted to "legalise" it.

I am not to convinced (from what I've heard) that the Transport boys/coppers would view them favourably and ticket me anyways.

I'm wondering if ...

Thanks for the replies boys!

Are one's off ebay still covered in any warranty they offer?

cheers.

I've looked around but cant find out on the net.

What's the going price on a new set of Lightforce 240 Blitz - standard H3 halogen.

cheers.

Yeah, I was planning on it

Cheers mate!

Isn't the Bighorn around the $250? Therefore comparible to a BFG (at least in price?) - what about performance?

cheers,

its aford not a nissan are they the ones in your avatar mate?

How do they compare to the side wall of BFG Mud Terrains?

What does a BFG Muddy go for these days?

I was tinkering today :lol: and came across some unused light fittings.

I had thought some time back when a thread was posted about "indestructable rock/spot/driving light" things that it'd not be too hard to make some up yourself.

So, here's my attempt :)

I've not come up with a bracket just yet ...

Mate, I have all the bits here for a snorkle.

I was going to make one for my feroza but sold it and bought a lux - it has a safari one :P

I have 3 inch alloy tubing, the 90 and 45 degree elbows, the snorkle head, hose clamps, and flexitubing for under the bonnet.

Shoot me a PM if you're ...

Does the water improve acoustics

Have you been a good boy this year?

Naughty or nice?

Bad or good?
