Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Impressive work and design skills there, good job!

What CAD software are you using to do the end tanks for the beamer?


Turbo CAD for the MAC and Gibbs Cam for the PC

Gibbs cam is the more powerful but I like the Turbo CAD for the MAC, Turbo CAD for the PC I don't like.

My favorite piece of ...

I'm guessing it will only put out 60 amps max? Is there inverters available that handle the loading of a welder without the anti surge kicking in?

You really need to mandrel bend light wall pipe as youve discovered. 32nb medium should have enough wall strength to distribute the bending load across the dies. You may also need some lube/thick grease so the pipe can seat itself neatly into the die shape.

My 10cents

It has too many large out of balanced parts with sudden movements to really be any good, even if you scaled it up and put balance weights in, its still a very complicated machine for little benefit, considering a 9speed dual clutch transmission will still be less complicated and cheaper to make and ...

interesting....BUT

It needs multiple motors to control it and exactly how much torque the controlling motors require to make it all happen is the question....you want a car with 3 engines??

To give a really simple idea of what is basically happening: get a car differential with a typical open ...

sounds interesting, any piks? Id say anywhere between 6k to 12k.

Problem is its still just a "84 hilux" maybe more money would be made in wrecking it?

2002 design with 1970 build quality.

The help files in solidworks are some of the best. Sheetmetal in SW is a bitch yet can be quite powerful once your familiar with its limitations.

For sheetmetal:
Once you have selected a plane to draw on and made a 'closed' sketched profile (no need to exit the sketch yet) hit the base flange on ...

if you can do a photo diary of this whole procedure, it would be good. Pictures are priceless.

cheers

The inverter part is what you will learn to love :P

I have the Uni-mig 165 MIG Inverter welder and for $1000 I think its a pretty good machine. Comes everything too. And it is rated to do TIG aswell. Total tools have looked after me pretty well too I might ad.

The duty cycle is pretty good: 90-100 ...

Its basically ebay shit. Ironman just have a new sticker.

I have one and it goes fine for the odd monthly trip.

Cheers.

Is Barnsey still doing those mothfukle lift kits? At least it will be done properly.

this thread could be going places

hmm .. the 4.2td would drink much more fuel then the 2.8td ??

my xr6 turbo does 15L/100kms .. its just way too much.

I get about 14.5litres/100km, 4.2s are not much different - depending on alot of things though but on average, its a fair comment.

I have 33's, big bullbar, 3inch lift, winch ...

www.patrol4x4.com good site, tons and tons of info ;)

I have a 2.8 GU and yes you can get a good amount of grunt for playtime, BUT I suggest if your considering it (as they are pretty damn cheap way to get into a GU) take it for a test drive, and make sure the engine is warm before building an ...

try some molybond?

Maybe the person did get flung and wasnt conscious for questioning. Cut it up to see if anyone is inside.

Time for beer I think.....

Maybe the towie took the wheel off to make it slide better up the tray. Who knows.

I have a piece of 13mmx13mmx3mm equal angle about 100mm long. I have edges to make the end a bit wedge shaped. I then tap this into the hole. It usually sits tight/snug. Then i can get a big shifter onto it.

its the only way I can get the plug out of my diff on the underside.

I have routered aluminium on a slow setting, and it is a shit finish. If you do, take small bites. Many runs better than 1 big "omg im taking shitloads off right now, omgwtf whats all that smoke coming out of the motor" cutting stroke.

what you save on rego with a zd30 you will be spending again to keep an eye on the lil bugger. ie exhaust temp guages, dawes valve, egr change.......

But we dont have to go down that track because the td42t is an option

Before you buy a car from them, take in some really crap food your wife or someone has made, and ask them to try it, then after the sale do it again and see if they eat it still lol.

Salesman, I used to be one, even I changed my tune after taking the cash
