Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks Andy,

Of course the fueling would have to be adjusted to suit. Glad to hear the other parts will interchange. I hear the pistons in the 1l are not suited to turbocharging so that is why I located a 2lt donor. Bad news on the turbo. Anyone make a straight forward adapter for a garret?

Thanks ...

Hey all!

I am a Land Rover geek but recently bought a toyota truck to run parts at my shop. I had some questions, hoped you all would see fit to share some information about. Thanks in advance.

I bought a 81' Toyota mini truck with 2.2l diesel and five speed transmission. It has low compression in ...

Any more thoughts on entering me in the Outback Challenge? Any more dogs to hump my leg?

Why yes.

Seems I recognize that pomeranian in your avator.

Nice offer. Get it out there for yourself.

The 2.25 diesel sounds appealing. Thanks Ben. As do the older Rangies. A four door RRC can load my possie quicker. Is everyone sure they are not taking any more participants?

Keith you are shotgun on Normys deal. I wouldn't bust up that couple.

I just need tires no modifications on whatever they ...

Anyone want to loan me a useable clunker for the Outback Challenge? Some US boys are coming out to complete and I am Jonesing to come play also. Not sure this is even possible but thought it might not hurt to ask here on Outerlimits.

An old two door RRC or early defender could work for me. Also ...

I think the five bolts attaching the shock hub would become the next weak link. I would imagine there would be more noticeable drivetrain slop changing motion from foward to rearward as well. Interesting idea though.

What do you guys think about 4 freewheeling hubs to help a guy flat tow his D90 behind his motorhome? He has burnt up the transmission twice now flat towing in the past couple years. Usually he tows the automatic transmission in Nuetral and transfer case in nuetral. I have a couple customers that ...

Does my headgear bother you DAS?

Be sure to let us now how this works out.

How much?

Not really interested in the 4cylinder toyotas. Was the ZF rover type transmission used behind the Isuzu engine to your knowledge?

The six speed trans for the Isuzu sounds interesting. No six cylinder Isuzu engines to consider are there?

Hi Pendy,

This is definitely not a common conversion in Oz as the cruiser diesels and parts are $$$$ and they are also pretty long. I have seen a cruiser 5-speed in a series landie mated to a series T-case (adaptor made by Marks adaptors in melbourne), but it was running a Holden (GM/chev) petrol ...

Thought I would come over here and ask some geographically inherant questions. The PBB lacks info and I searched here with better luck.

I am interested in the Toyota six cylinder diesels. For defender conversion. Specifically the HZ-1 and the HD-T and HD-FT.

I see that the H-55 five speed is ...

Hi Micheal.

Looks good over here.

I am working with a buddy to do a oil pump housing to chevy style bellhousing conversion. Its a different approach then Marks adapter. I am hopeing to get it going this winter on a 4.3 V6 Vortec motor.

I can have one built for you here in the good old USA.

What motor are you putting in front of it?
