Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Do you want to give more details about "all over the place"

It is not up to the approved person issuing the safety certifictate to know the specs of your vehicle. It is up to you to prove to him that your modification complies. If he suspects it doesn't comply he could have simply failed the safety certificate pending you supplying him information proving y...

Thanks guys. The 1/3 of bump stop clearance is the rule i was aware of. So the only way he's going to get "papers" is to get a DOT inspection with his suspension modifed as stated above hey... I guess they might also like him to put his sway bars back in too... :D My GU has 4" lift, i...

Well, that's exactly what he found, but thought that couldn't be correct. Hence the question here. It's not actually for my car. Touch wood, i haven't been pulled over yet. It's for the friend who has the friend...if that makes sense. He's got a GQ with 7" suspension lift, and 35's. He got pull...

All, I have a friend of a friend who can do Mod Plates. He doesn't see many 4WD's so isn't up to speed on the mod codes for mods done on 4WD's. Can someone who has a QLD (do they change state by state?) mod'ed 4WD, please have a look and tell me the code for the suspension lift. The need for a mod p...

If we get into the nitty gritty of why more torque, less kW etc, they are all variables in the design of an engine. The egg always comes before the chicken, it just depends on what you like to call the chicken ;) I did a fair bit of this at uni in thermodynamics. Obviously that is theory, and here w...

As a person who's business is in welding technology and welding quality control i'd advise to not dodge cost too much. In saying that i mean that a stick welder will be fine, but don't by a cheap one. Go for a CigWeld or something like that. You can pick up a small good quality arc welder for about ...

From what i understand TJM are owned by the same company as King? Or something like that that ties the company together.

I think TJM springs are Kings in a different jacket. Might be worth dropping into t TJM store and talking springs with them.

I have an Explorist 600 as well. I've been looking at the Discover Aus Topo but haven't committed. This info is good. I'll probably go and get it. I also bought the 600 so it fits in my Camelbak on the dirtbike. They are a great unit. I'd recommend them any day. Don't know much about the performance...

Andy,

I'm looking for exhaust for '99 GU 2.8TD. Do you supply a kit for this?

Don't know anything about the offroad tyres but i do know that NanKangs are the cheapest tyre money can buy. Found out when i went to buy burnout tyres for my Clubsport. Also have a friend that is a car dealer and he tells me that 90% of car dealers put them on 2nd hand cars to tart them up "ne...

Recently put 33" Cooper STT-A3's in my patrol. Pretty happy with them. Look good on te vehicle too.

Exhaustfix, i have GU Patrol Wagon 2.8lt Turbo diesel. Factory turbo and intercooler. Primarily looking for more bottom end torque. Increase in general kW would also be good. I've spoken to a few exhaust shops gut they all have a different answer. 3" dump to 3" system. 2 3/4" dump to ...

Guys, Have been doing a few things to my '99 GU 2.08TD Wagon. Tinkering under the bonnet today and have noticed a smearing of oil inside the tube of the hose from the intercooler to the inlet manifold. My natural instinct and experince with N/A engines raises immediate alarm, but having never done a...

So what is oziexpolorer like?

I have an Magellan Explorist 600. Tosing up whether to go the cheaper option of ozexplorer, or go for the magellan Discover Aus Topo.

Sounds like i really need to go 3" with the 285/75's. I want to get good flex with out scrubbing. So i guess they'll scrub more under a 2" lift.

Hi, Second installment in my GU Wagon suspension and wheels questions. I've established that the 2.8TD isn't cut out for pushing a larger tyre than a 33". Next question is what's the best lift height to go with. Will the 33's look too small under 3" or 4" lift? I was originally planni...

Seriously:
'99 GU 2.8lt wagon - somewhere between 2.75k & 4k

For a bit of fun:
'05 HSV Clubsport - 6k - 6.5k
'06 KTM 525 - 10-11k
'04 GSX-r1000 - 12.5k

Thanks guys. From my research thus far i have deduced the following: a) Probably want to limit my tyre size on 2.8lt to 33" otherwise i lose too much. b) Lift kits in the 2" range are much of a muchness as long as they are a reputable brand. All i should need to do are springs, shocks, ste...

Hi Guys, New to forum, and it's been a while since i owned a 4x4 so i'm going to ask some (possibly) stupid questions. Just bought a '99 GU wagon 2.8lt TD and would like some help with regards to mods. I'm trying not to let costs blow out too much on this vehicle as my garage houses a number of othe...
