Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey mate,

Sounds like you may have it finally figured out! Hope it fix's it for good.

Did you take it wheeling in the end though?????

Stew

Are there hidden bolts

Hey Tim,

Where abouts in the UK are you? What engine are you running?

Stew

I was running 33's under a stock 2.4L diesel Lux, Did not effect its powerfull acceleration (0-100 in 15min) or speed (speed, whats that?).

(it is slow regardless)

Stew

Have you checked the exhaust manifold and flange (manifold to pipes) gaskets?

I have a Garmin Etrex Summit.

It runs on AA batteries, or can be used with the in car cable.

It will measure ground speed, plus elevation data, including rates of ascent and descent (it maps this data as well). You can set all the way points, and create a waypoint. Also includes a compass.

It was ...

Just get a new boot from Repco, I think they are like $15 or something. They are not much anyway.

Have a go at replacing it yourself. You can do it without removing the shaft from the hub as well.

Stew

I have the manual, and no the diagram pretty well.

The lights are through their own circuit with relay and fuse. The headlights are on a seperate circuit and they are ok.

The interior lights, parkers and tail lights come on together. The fuse is fine, the wires around the fuse box are ok, and ...

I only have headlights, brake lights (not normal tail) and reverse lights at the moment.

I have checked for power after the fuse, and all is ok there. I have no interior lights, no tail lights, no parkers.

Where else should I check for the problem. The fuse and relay are both ok.

The car ...

Could be a dud wheel cylinder.

I would say just strip the whole lot down, clean it real good, lube it all, and put it back together, see how that goes.

Don't go too nuts with the lube though, it might dribble over you shoes, but at least you wouldn't have the wheel lock-up problem!!

Stew

I got no sealed beams from a wreckers off an surf for $40 with globes. What year is you hilux?

Depending on year, a standard 7inch assembly is pretty easy to find.

Glow plugs would be first point of call as suggested.

Already bled the system so thats fine.

Have you got the fuel pipes from injectors to injector pump in right order? This could be hard to mess up anyway as th epipes are bent to the correct shape to really only fit in one place, but check it ...

Hey,

The bearing would cost about $12 probably. You could replace it yourself.

Stew

Thats some good info POS!!

Makes perfect sense...

Stew

The drivers slide flange will move around heaps, up and down, side to side. This is normal. There is no bearing on the drivers side.

As for what could be wrong with your diff, Does it only make a noise when its under strain???

I need to SAS badly, my front diff is still currently buggered ...

I will also be there..

Stew

similar things where also in some pajeros...

LOL, yeah, forgot to mention the 2 idler arms I have snapped, and the current one is on its way, very flexible now, hehe

solving the idler arm problem is really easy and you use all std toyota parts, you just have to think outside the square for a change. ( i like to keep everyone guessing ).

Left hand drive power steering box imported???

I have done heaps of damage to my entire front end driveline, and ...

I got 33 inch MT/R's at Kmart tyre and Auto, Toombul. $270 each, balanced and fitted to my existing rims. New valves and stems too.

Stew

A mate and I once chopped an old fairlane in half with an axe (except for some harder re-enforcing type bits on chassis)

That was fun, we didn't like the axe either....

Stew

I am leaving Friday night at some stage.

Can't wait.

Whats the rust situation like all round? Including chassis, springs etc?

Stew

yes, heaps...

Firstly. and most obviously, a lot more sluggish.

Also effects steering, as each bump in the road seems to have a much greater effect on which way the wheels ponit. The steering also seems much lighter while moving, worse at higher speeds. Its controllable though.

I also have ...

Hi,

I have an IFS 4runner. I am running 33's. Needed a 2 inch body lift. I have the 2.4 Litre Diesel. Its slow, but managable.

Stew

I had a similar problem with my 4runner.

Turned out to actually be the sterering dampner. It was buggered, and water was getting past the internal seal. Steering was really hard, or would not steer, or would pulsate for a little while until the water drained/forced itself out.

Stew

I was wondering what series a landrover would be if it was built in 1954? (If they where even being built back then)

Also, does anyone know if there are accessories available, like lockers etc?

Thanks,

Stew

Some of the crawler type gears will also lower your high range gearing.

This is for the best anyway of you are running bigger rubber..

Stew

You also have a breather hose on top of your rocker cover. This is the breather for your crankcase (some engines are differnet, or have this in different places) this hose eventually goes into your air intake, for pollution control etc..

The pressurised gas from your crankcase (caused by blowby ...

Last year when I was up there I found the campsites (trakka and cowah) to be way too packed even.

I was actually thinking of finding another spot in the park to camp....
