Outer Limits 4x4 Board

There's some pretty damn cool tech in this thread
You've certainly gone to a lot of effort KiwiBacon, but looks like it's paid off.

Hi guys, this is Skye, from GE Money. It never ceases to amaze me how there is someone on here that knows about or works in the field of just about every topic. GE Finance's ears must've been ringing. Or they have some kind of alarm that goes off when too many people mention GE on the internet ...

Looks cool!
Can't wait to see pics the hill climb. Have fun dude.

Well done Pirates

You'll need to extend it and run it so it stays above water level

Try DGA Aust 4WD Insurance, or TCIS.

NRMA aren't into modded 4wd's.

Refer to this thread on Engineerable Tyre size

This post about an Abridged Brake Test might be of interest.

They probably got a sms about it like everyone else. I bet no-one thought they would notice a couple of thousand people congregating at the stadium.

Most radiators I've seen mounted on the back of the tray also have an extra water pump to get the water moving.

Also there is a lot of confusion in this thread about how the trim height is measured. In the VSI document it shows it is measured from the centre of the rim to the top of the wheel arch.

If i read about it a few hours earlier I would have been there! What actually went down tonight? Correct me if I'm wrong but although they have set the date as August 1st this thing hasn't passed yet? It has already been passed. It is coming into effect this week. From what I gather last night was ...

I posted the link to the Herald article in the VSI 50 thread in chit chat.

All is good. I ordered the parts through a mate who got me a good enough price for me not to have to risk ebay.

I'm going to attempt this job in the next few days. Hopefully I won't need to come and post in this thread asking for help if it all goes wrong

Dang! How many 6G72's are there?
I had figured it would take a day or so

I keep thinking of the scene from Black Sheep when the NOS bottle leaks in the cop car

How would you go with matching the front ratio ?

Is this the right kit for a 3.0 V6 Paj ?

Better add some tech. How big of a job is this for someone to attempt themselves if I follow the Gregory's manual ?

Patrols and Cruisers cant pass the braking test on 35's?!!! That bloke who built up that 80 series with huge fiberglass flares and 44" tyres had it engineered and it passed the brake test on the factory brakes! Siigy is his name, the engineering tests and details by the engineer were put up on 4wd ...

Not as far as I know. Take a shovel

Interesting news Athol. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you can buy them at the service stations near the 4wd access to the beach.

PM him and ask him to post in this thread so we all can see how he did it.

Unless you're buying them 2nd hand, I would think most places would be pretty close in price as per the ARB catalogue.

This is one of my fave's

Awesome! Good luck fellas

anything is possible.

It can be done, I'm not sure if the cost would outweigh the benefits though.

Others will be able to elaborate more on the specifics.

I also used a custom one that was made for a GQ.
The bushes were the right size. Just adjust it to the correct length.

Mini wheels ?

What vehicle ?

Dana 60 > Nissan.

Goes something like this Step 1. Cuss in ways to make a sailor blush. 2. Drink beer to cool-off. 3. Find where you put your easy-out set "so you wouldn't forget where you put it". 4. See Step 1 upon finding easy-out set in the most random place imaginable. 5. Realize battery is dead in cordless ...
