Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sorry for the re-dig, but just looked this thread up again.

Yep that's him.

Does anybody wheel with him or is he a Gloria Jeans wheeler?

Dirty, There are two holes already located through the top of the guard. I thought they must have been original with captive nuts below but maybe they were drilled by the previous owner? The two holes in the bottom of the 2nd hand ARB tray line up exactly with the holes in the guard. So if there are ...

Hi all,

Recently purchased a 2nd hand ARB battery tray but the bolts that came with it are too small for the captive nuts in the top of the LHS wheel arch.

Does anybody know the size of the required bolts so I know what to ask for down at the nuts n bolts shop?

Thanks.

Thanks Banger.

Hi all,

Does anybody have their workshop manual handy? I need the transmission code number for a 2001 GU wagon 4.2TD 5sp man.

Thanks for any help.

There's a spelling mistake in your title. It's Kar, not car. Where did(n't) you learn to spell?

Hi all, Have searched and think I found relevant info but just want to double check. Series 1 GU TD4.2T has a FS5R50B gearbox doesn't it? 2.8L GU models - the FS5R30A gearbox? (And why does my Gregory's say it's a FS5930A box?) If the above info is correct, why does the FS5R50B have a smaller oil ...

I was asking exactly the same questions when I was deciding between buying Cruiser or Patrol. Compare the following and the decision is pretty easy I reckon: Chassis cross section. Driveline cross section. Size of diffs (esp rear leaf sprung Patrol). Size of gearbox. Donk simplicity. Driver ...

I've got 305 MTZ's and run 36 front, 38 rear on the road. That's on a GU wagon. Any higher on the front I found the steering "skittish" at highway speeds. Any higher on the rear and the vehicle wanted to tango when I hit a pothole, rough surface, etc at highway speeds. 38psi seems to soften the ...

Oh P.S - should include some tech.

After googling Pitbull tyres I don't think they were the Growlers. Much more like the Pitbull Rocker. They looked great.

is that a Green one with a hardtop if so I think they are the Pitbull Growlers That's the one!! Thanks Grimbo. Know anything about these tyres? I might put this topic up in relevant section. Cheers. Rohan, get out of the Heep section before you catch something!!! Sssshhhh don't tell too many people ...

That's great Nelly! Not too dissimilar to my first (and very embarrassing) big mistake! Thanks for sharing.

Sorry guys, not tech but thought this might be best place to catch him.

Would love to know what tyres he's wearing. Chunkalicious!!

I recently bought the 90-series Koni's but also got a quote on the 88-series - $500/pair front (88-1686) & $480/pair rear (88-1687). That's brand new so you might be better off buying new than paying $390/pair then $100 each to re-valve ($590/pair total). These were only for 2" lift though, but if ...

I have been quoted $100 - $150 ea for re valving. But cant say for sure if it will be required. The measurements are 750mm middle of eye to middle of eye. I recently bought the 90-series Koni's but also got a quote on the 88-series - $500/pair front (88-1686) & $480/pair rear (88-1687). That's ...

Change driving style?? Haha yeah good one. I know who drives it!

PM me if you can do one for me (4.2L). I will definately cover costs.

Whatever you decide on, make sure it's "Ground Plane Independent" if you intend mounting it anywhere but the centre of your roof (bullbar, etc).

Vehicle was loaded in rear compartment.

I thought the Koni's were on the softest setting but may have to remove bottom mounts and adjust again just to make sure.

Might not be your new suspension at all. I'd be pulling out your panhard rods and haveing a look at the bushes condition first, and get under there and do up every control arm nut as tight as you possibly can and inspect all bushes. You will probably find something loose under there ;) Thanks ...

Hi all, A months or so ago I put a 2" lift under the GU 4.2 wagon (Extra Heavy Duty King springs) with 90-series Koni shocks. Since then I have had the vehicle up to Wyperfield NP in the sand dunes and loved the performance of the springs/shocks, but over Easter the vehicle kicked sideways several ...

I installed one recently. I like the fact that the unit is totally tucked up under the dash out of sight and the mic plugs straight into a socket I wired into the dash. Easy to remove so can't see any radio in vehicle. Volume is adequate from below the dash.

Can anyone show a comparison between the 88 and 90-series shocks? I am seriously looking at Koni's at the moment and although the 88-series would probably be enough for me, those 90's look amazing!

i guess i must of just had the thought of not wanting a tyre to come loose that i over did it. the mags a stayin though Main thing is to scrap the rattle gun. These things wreck studs badly!

RoldIT can read?? He wasn't too capable last Saturday night!! (Or was that me??)

From you-know-who!

Can you get a close up photo of the broken studs? The fracture surface (if not damaged during the roll) can tell a lot. Not my vehicle Kiwi, found the details on a weekly newsletter that gets emailed around. Just hope it never happens to me. I'll keep a good eye on the nuts from now on (the fourby ...

Hi all, Below is scenario which I hope never happens to me (I've got an '01 4.2 wagon). Anybody else heard of this happening? We have recently returned from a four week excursion into the centre which was essentially a great experience for newcomers to the 4WD tribe. We were travelling in a 2004 ...
