Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the advise

Can someone please tell me the height of a 80 series with a 2"lift plus big muddies. I need to build a new carport for my 80 series I've just bought and would like a roller door on it but worried it won't fit after I put the lift on and bigger tyres so I need someone who has lifted their cruiser to ...

:oops: I am wanting to buy a Landcruiser but not sure which way I'm going to go in regards to the fuel. What I would like to know from other owners of a duel fuel (petrol/gas) cruiser is if they are happy with it, have they experienced any problems, what to look for when one is buying one, and ...

:? We are looking to purchase a Landcruiser and not too sure which way to go. We would like to buy a 80 series. I am selling my Tarago for a Landcruiser only because our Tarago does not have 4x4 so we've decided to go for the Landcruiser and we are not sure whether we would be better off with a duel ...

Better off to stick to a brand you know that will do the job rather than a cheaper brand that might end up costing you even more. I have OME's on my Zook and when it comes to replacements or upgrades, I would never put a no name brand on it reguardless how much cheaper they might be.

No heavy bush bashing as we have the Zuk to do that in. Will also cater as my people mover around town.

Looking under $20,000. Four people to go on camping trips, may need to tow a 6x4 trailer.

We would like to buy a 4x4 vehicle and have been told to look for a Nissan. The problem is now that we have been getting different reports on different models and we need some advise on what would be a good model to buy. Is it worth looking at the GU's compared to the GQ's. Do you encounter problems ...

:oops: Could someone please tell me if I have done any damage to my car if I drove it in high four wheel mode ( wheels were not locked ) on normal road surface. I went for a drive on Saturday night but I think I forgot to take it out of 4 wheel drive gear as the next morning when I went to take off ...

:? Another question on buying a 4x4 vehicle................................ I've noticed alot of the vehicles I have looked at have very high K's. Is that a concern when buying a 4x4 ? I know alot of owners might live out in the country and need to travel long distances, is that more wear and tear ...

Thanks Hoonz but at the moment we need to do our homework before we jump into anything. It sounds great, couldn't see the pictures, but it might be too worked on for us Learners.

:? We are looking to buy a bigger 4x4 vehicle. Our little Zook just does not fit everyone in and we want a car to take long trips in and to do some fun 4x4 driving. Someone had suggested to us that the Nissan GQ are a good buy. Not knowing too much about 4x4 cars, we were after some suggestions on ...

Put clothes, blankets, pillows in a space bag. They can get really flat, and you can put heaps in them. They can then kind of sit up at the back of the front or rear seats. if you have the foldup camping chairs in the bag put them behind the back seats and then put the space bags on top of them ...

Sell or swap the wife/kids for a new one. I am sure you would get a good trade ;) Simmo... Now Simmo, I'm da wife, I'm the one who posted the question. Getting rid of me means the car goes too. The car is mine. I'm da driva. Maybe I need to get rid of the hubby as some of you think I should drag ...

Going away next week and the hubby wants to take the Zook. Unfortunately I think his forgot about how we can fit the 2 kids in too as well as all our stuff. Has any one got any great ideas about utelising the space in a Zook without having to fold up the backs seats. We dont want to tow so we would ...

Go to Ebay, some people sell them second hand or there is a shop on there that sells new ones.
Cheers

munga great idea but we live in mexico you should know we dont get hot weather this time of the year....mind you having said that its not rained in 8 years here (well not to flood conditions) And yes left the oils in the open area to heat a little up and did ok oh munga nice idea with the ext hose ...

Have any of you guys been to The Otway Antics weekend 4x4 trip at Gellibrand? Thinking of going but....

Listen to your husband. We are a wise and ancient breed. Best known for our careful choices in all things (except kitchen stuff). If wise husband says you need 1.6 litre conversion....Do it without delay. If wise one says need winch (plus bar to carry), UHF, CB, GPS CD playstation, spring lift ...

Definitely need to air down when offroad. Even if you're not tackling anything hard, you'll find the extra traction from airing down makes it a HEAP safer going down even slight inclines. Believe me, I learnt that from experience a couple of time when I was too lazy to get out and air down :oops: A ...

Thanks James, I just needed to learn from someone else. My husband likes to pull the wool over my eyes on some of these things he buys. Someone else had suggested that we wouldn't need to let the air out as the Zooks are light enough to cope with soft surfaces. We've only had the car since Christmas ...

:agrue: My husband bought me a Zook for a Chrissie presie but he now has taken over. He now wants to purchase a compressor but I don't think it's neccesary as we will probably never drive on sand but he says we need to deflate the tyres even on 4x4 tracks. Whats your opinion on this matter. Do you ...

I've had a 2" lift kit put on it and new leaf springs and a steering damper and mud terrain tyres (BF) with new rims. The disappointing thing I've found with this car though is the fuel economy. Thought by going down to a smaller engine I would get better fuel eco. out of it but it's not the case. I ...

:P Thankyou for your advise christover1. I just wish there was a Suzuki club near where I live because when I told everyone at the 4x4 club what sort of car I owned they all bursted out laughing and thought it was a great joke. But I know what Zooks are capable of doing that those other big heavy ...

:angel: Hi to everyone on this forum. I've just registered after reading everyones info and have found it to be very interesting and some what educational. I was given a Suzi for Chrissie and absolutely love it. I usually drive around a toyota tarago but now that has been garaged for the moment so I ...
