Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Was told on here that the auto low range gear will fit in the manual transfer,

I got my old blown auto home on thursday and im going to rip it apart and see how i go...

Was told that the auto low range ratio is 2.3 compared to 1.9 in the manual.

Any one got a heads up on that.

Hopefully it all ...

Wasted thread wasnt it,

No replies about the diff gears.

Anyways, lockdup4x4 in WA are apparently the cheapest with $420 each, free postage aus wide, not bad i reckon.

I just bought a fresh 4.88 diff centre, so only need 1 now.

Im going to have a look in the states and see whats floating around ...

Think iread somewhere that the endless air compressor's are only $450 for the setup.

Does that sound right.

Can they fit if the original air cond pump is still on?

Cheers mate,

I still havnt got around to replacing swivel hub bearings :?

Its been good so far, i found the rear bush on my front left spring was flogged out...thats whats causing it to pull left as its pushed the spring back, noticed the front shackles on different angles and thought id bent a ...

Cheers guys,

raffy, good job on that set up.

Thats what im looking into doing...running a tank as i have to pump up 37's from 10-12 pound back up to 30-35 pound.

I want to set up a tank with brackets to bolt to the floor in the back..but i want it compact...bolt the compressor to the top of the ...

It probably been asked here a million times, but i havnt seen a post about it for a while.

What is the best value for money air compressor on the market at the moment.

What have you got or used?

Whats your opinion.

Im looking for a good one to run lockers and inflate tyres after low pressure ...

Heres my old girl.

Still a work in progress.

High steer is next on the to do list...then some panel trimming.

What about 4.8 landcruiser gears, id be interested in that!!!

Ol joeblow knows his shite'

Instead of posting here just pm him.

I drove my 60 without shocks when i first put my new springs in and it was an abortion to drive.

Youve only got to stick ya head out the window and have a look at the tyre when you hit a pothole or rough patch and you'll know what they have shocks for.

I borrowed a pair of toughdog big bores for ...

Yeah thats it..kzn185..

Yeah i wasnt there when it happened but he said it made no noise, just wouldnt get gears.

Thanks for that , ill check it out and ring around for him tomorrow.

Rookie.

Cheers for that mate,

He just engaged it and it wouldnt go, like he had no gears.

He limped it home but everytime he pulled up it wouldnt go again.

He had to perservere with it (in and out of gear) to get it to go.

Pulled it down and the transfer was a mess!!

Rookie

Good old superliners hey,

My old man had a f700 maxidyne in the early 70's pulling triples in the teritory. They dont make them like that no more. 237 hp and 3 trailers....hino rigids have more than that these days :shock:

When wasi growing up we had the old Kenworth cabover with a screaming ...

caster caster caster, i bet you have a 3 inch plus lift to fit 37's as it lifts up, the diff tilts forward and you run on the outer sides of each tyre....you need to fix your caster...i had exactly thesame on 35's after putting 2 extra leaves into a OME pack...gear stick left bruises on my leg ...

Replaced the front bush's first with nolathane ones, didnt really want to but the rubber bush's i put in a month ago were buggered already.

That helped a bit, set the toe again, retensioned wheel bearings again. Took it for a drive between each fix.

While i was puttin the left hub back together ...

Hey Chris,

Who done your work on the 12ht injector pump?

What was done?

Hey all,

Been doing some research on my cousins late 96 3 litre turbo intercooled auto surf.

Hes had transfer trouble (smashed).

On the toyodiy site, its showing the parado auto transfer has the same part number as the surf (36100).

Does anyone know anything about these autos and if the parado ...

By the sounds of that, you'll have no worries finding the sound your chasing.

Mine is a stock 12ht with a beaudesert ceramic coated 3" dump with a mild steel straight through ( i mean straight through, it doesnt have any bends as it goes through where the spare used to be), Its now running 14 Pound ...

Mine vents boost on gear change and it sounds exactly like that.

Kind of like a BOV. But without the BOV :D .

A straight through exhaust with no mufflers and a bit of boost is all that is done to mine.

Today was the first time ive heard it from outside the truck, my mate took it for a drive down ...

Pulled it all apart again today and forty5 said...it was swivel hub bearing on the left hand side.

I didnt pick up it until today, its only minor movement but thats all it took.

Thanks for the replies fellas.

Thats a good run from a clutch in a 12ht.

If i get a year out of mine ill be happy.

Its a 2h clutch aswell but a new one.



Off to work now then a big weekend on the cruiser

Gotta take the good with the bad.

Brendan, what sort of clutch are you running behind your 12HT? I wound my boost up to 13PSI and turned the fuel up to match (not that high though, no black smoke at all) and now when accelerating in 3rd of 4th my clutch starts to slip... :bad-words: but it goes quite well. (rebuilt engine, 3 ...

Well its definatly not wheel bearings.

Pulled them out tonight, repacked them put them back in, took for drive....same thing.

Checked king pin bearings, seem fine.

Gunna try a couple 3mm wedges and see if it is caster, i didnt think it would have been castor but im running out of ideas!!!

Thanks for that forty5 ill check them out while im going.

It definatly feels like a bearing problem, the way it wobbles when you hit a bump or rough spot.

I set it back to factory spec

I rotated the front diff 5 degree and turned the balls back the same amount.

Caster is set back to same as factory, not running extended shackles or nothing out of the ordinary.

Drove the truck to Sydney in November with 35s on 10" rims with out a problem (even ...

G'day Steve.

I think you've got enough off my truck already, i had to buy another to replace my diffs

Hows the shorty goin mate, looked the goods in the 40 thread.

Wanna swap, you can have the wobbles for free

Running 35 psi in treads on road, the tyres reasonably new, 98% havnt done any work really. No uneven wear yet.

Its only started doing it since wheel alignment, so im gunna do the wheel bearings and try another wheel alignment at another mates.

It is really rigid in the front because i got the big ...

Had the 37s fitted and balanced to 10" rims about 6 weeks ago!

Brand new shackle bushes, brand new everything accually.

Im thinking wheel bearings, they do have a bit of play. I wouldnt have thought the amount of play they have would cause this but it is wearing 37s

Im gunna pull the front hubs apart on saturday and replace bearings and check it out.

Caster ...

did it only do it since wheel alignment or was it doing it before then

Its only started doing it since wheel alignment.

My mate done the wheel alignment, and all he done was toe in 5 degree.

It was toeing out a bit before and pulling to the left a bit and wandering all over the road, now it ...
