Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A mate of mine is having a weird issue with a 06 TD hilux

For some reason there is water getting into the fuel system. Its blowing white smoke, a LOT on startup and whats even more weird it started blowing it going uphill (low load) and now down hill (no load) but less on the flat.

He has a ...

You cant pick a stall speed until you pick a cam

I wouldn't want to be towing heavy loads with a lightweight trailer.

The other option is a diesel jk with 35s and lots of fruit. nicer to drive but i wouldn't be as carefree when off the tracks and i do like the ute function.

Still at the same place Voodoo?

Im still here

I was trying to find the same info for a 75 series troopy with a 3F

buy an old school jeep. If you drop around i can show ya a few to choose from

Why do you need a Drivers drop? Wouldnt it be easier to find a different transfer case ?

Ive seen worse welds holding a car together. If it doesn't leak, they honour the warranty INCLUDING any costs of recovery in the even of failure then whats the issue? I can guarantee that your car has welds that bad on it already.

If you want pretty welds done by a master craftsman then expect to ...

Ls1 lacks midrange in standard form - I would go a 6.o if you can.
Duramax is the answer though - if you have the green.

A tune fixes the midrange up with no problem or throw in a $350 cam for HEAPS of power.

Were you hanging around with any patrols lately? They do it all the time. Maybe you need a wash and disinfectant

The early ones had issues. 2000 - 2002.
From 2003 onwards they fixed most of the issues.
These days with NADS we don't tend to worry about grenading.

He doesnt have a kingpin D60. The Ford ones are balljoint.

Got a front dana 60 and rear sterling 10.5 off a 2003 f250, for a build I am doing.
Needs new brakes and I've got a set of TRD Aurion calipers, same as Corvette C5 fronts and C4 Rears.

Just wondering weather these would work, fit with standard rotors and wouldn't be too difficult to make brackets ...

Just ordered the above setup, wait and see the quality, but will be a while till its in use!

A tuff truck style rig, using dana 60 front and sterling 10.5 rear...


Have you seen the highsteer arms for the balljoint D60's now available in the USA? Im about to order a set.

The only problem is if you have tapered tie rod ends. The bolt section that goes through the steering stem. Most of them are tapered so they won't physically fit upside down. But if that isn't the case then no problem. Go for it.

That bit is all good mate, I have a sleeve that welds in with the ...

the LS1 is not known for a lot of low down torque. L98 6.0L is much better.
You can also try changing the intake manifold to one from a LQ4 Silverado LS. That will help with low down. Also as mentioned I think cam choice is wrong. Need a nice truck / tow cam.
I would go the 4.6 diffs with the 35 ...

If not just drill the arm out and run a HT bolt with heim joints

Its for a tie rod flip on a CJ7 Jeep (1978)

Looking for one of these. Not keen on paying $100+ to do 2 knuckles and then having one sit in the draw for the next 20yrs. Chasing one to suit GM 1 ton tie rods ( 1 1/2 inch per foot or 7.13 degree's )

I think I would like to deal with the electrical gremlins that would come about by using an LS conversion than trying to get the carb related emission control systems that would come with a 1996 model engine any day of the week.

Are you sure the 1996 454s are still carby, and not just throttle ...

No 454's were sold in AU between those dates so an import is going to be your best option and then you will have to get it well documented. Why do you want a 454 anyway? The size, weight, cost, rarity etc are all working against you. Finding a LS1 will save you over 10k in the conversion, be better ...

What car is it going into? The engine needs to be the same age or newer than the car so putting one in a 96 FJZ75 for instance isnt going to happen. There are also size limits, weight issues to look at too (notice there arent any 454's in 4x4's in AU, there is a reason....)

Do you want to narrow it down a little.?

Which Chev engine are you after? Which parts etc.

I wasn't charged for GST as the price of the tyres came in under $1000 but I probably should have been as the air freight pushed it over by around $300+.

Regards Andrew.

If the actual cost of the goods is below $1000AUD then the cost of shipping does not come into it. However if the actual cost ...

Frame has been organised and doing the deal as we speak. Ill be in touch with the relevant people in the next week or so.

Combination of USA and Local builders will be doing the work.

Thanks to everyone who posted, PM'ed and called.

evanstaniland: The relevant people know what that comment ...

So anyone know where the frame is these days and what its selling for?

No you cant change it as its a rating by the manufacturer. You wlll need another tow car.

If you want contact details for the leahys I've got Gregs number.

You would surprised what i have laying around here

COOL, I CAN PRINT A BUGGY NOW....

I HATE SPAMMERS

BUILD one yourself.... mine cost me $1500 to build the frame including link mounts .. $7000 to fully complete the buggy not the $20K + everyone else is spending on an event that doesnt even exist in OZ yet.. Build for fun first not the hope something will happen..

The USA setups will be ...

dont rue out all the chassis builders in america. freight is cheap!


You sure? Ive been quoted $140 for some brake line clips and 2 radiator hoses. I'd spend up to 8-10k for a frame landed in Brisbane. I havent really followed the scene over there to know who does what and who is decent. IM ...
