Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I believe the Snake Racing arms retain the ability to continue using you r front sway bar?

Hi Bob- radius arm bushes generally flog out around the centre steel sleeve- they will look "cracked" or torn there, like that sleeve (that the bolt goes through) is gunna tear away completely. Check these with a torch or lead light- PS: new from Nissan at trade price just under $200 for all four ...

PS: Not saying that these things are definately going to solve your problem, I know how frustrating it is when people come up with so many answers when all you want is THE solution! But it is a process of elimination. You really gotta check ya castor etc and as fatassgq mentioned, drop boxes are the ...

ooops- just read another post wid u init- wrong Robert! Hey Pauly!

I know you gotta have a better pic of your rig than that Beretta!!!

Agree with gasdrx re 2-3" suspension + 2" body- but go for the longer bolts he mentions- best to stick as close to Nissan's original design (ie: with captive bolts). 2" lift should not affect standard gearbox lever!

Thanx for clearing up Sam- can you make bar in manner I described?- Also will it hold weight of car in corners as posted?

I am not flaming other manufacturers- just pointing out what I require. Had an early gq with arb steel bar- lower section (not hoops) was VERY strong- thicker steel but also boxed/rolled on bottom unlike modern version- corners could take weight without bending up significantly- now have nissan ...

Probably weaker due to modern thinking/ design with crush rates in mind and to suit air-bagged trucks- especially in offset impacts (ie: in the corner).

custom arm?... unbolt pin from arm, cut pin off, weld on eye, bolt back into arm- box could be designed with bolt to go through newly bushed eye on back off radius arm- Superior could even supply the new eye in a kit (with the drop boxes) already welded up so it could be bolted into your own radius ...

Silver/pewter is the new white- looks absolutely trick with black acessories! But as said- totally a personal choice. White as said definately best for scratches- but hard to colour match with repairs- almost harder than most metallics!

Have you seen how far out an ARB winch bar sticks out on a GU? Agreed ARB has roo strike protection but like I said though- not strong enough in corners- just twist up into guard and make a mess! Not to mention- OMG crazy heavy!

heh heh- good call!!!
Yeh, I left the cap bases off the rivets all together. These 'boxes' are a mint idea- cavernous storage inside too!

Hutch- love the locking latch setup- was thinking along the same lines- agree on the colour- been trying to find something coloured right myself. Also agree on the magnetic route- no good- neither is velcro. PS- I left the snap caps off as you can barely see the hinge with them off! The job of ...

Thanx heaps for the pics GU Johnno- that thing looks so horn! Bogged- didn't you see the plastic Nissan bonnet protector??? Heh heh...... agree on the bonnet, light protection, I would get modded with hoops around lights etc and have it sit 50mm further out from bottom of grill/lights with plate on ...

Bent the Nissan shipping tie down point (under the body mount)- I have no original bolts- I GOT EMPTY NUTS!!! Passenger side has holes in same pattern but no nut welded inside rail- could try feeding in from other side (weld nut to coathanger wire or something)- would be good to have two front ...

Tayls- body lift on a GQ is too easy. -When doing rearmost blocks note that they are captive bolts- so get out the oxy and heat up the end of bolt and nut from inside rear of cabin before trying to crack the bolt! -Check you haven't nicked the fuel filler hose off the tank when you're done -Might ...

OP, I did the same as Andrew- passenger side chassis rail has holes with welded nuts inside- mirror of drivers' side rail so Nissan hook fits. But I picked up OBIdeas plate too ($50 at TJM for those wanting price) as I had to get winched sideways out of a hole recently- used a tie down point which ...

no worries

PS- Do people reckon that with a tube bar, you risk twisting chassis more than a standard Nissan, TJM, ARB bullbar in a medium to serious impact.

Thanx BP- called them and yep- it's one of their bars (no plate actually ARB 14B!)- they're sending me some pics.

Have you guys made a version of these drop boxes which allows us to remove the bolt on pin in the back of radius arms on GU and convert to eye (like cruiser).

Hi Guys,
Issue 90, March 2006 (latest issue) 4wd Monthly magazine- Page 64, there is a pic of a GU plowing through a boghole (no. plate nsw ARB148) with a very neat looking TUBE BULLBAR- does anyone know who makes this one- I like!
