This guy sells them: http://www.ozadventure4x4.com.au/node/29 and you can get them for the TJ too: http://www.ozadventure4x4.com.au/node/32 about the same price or cheaper than the Bushwackers!

I went to get a quote on some 33's for my SWB Maverick the other day and the guy said what is the load rating on the vehicle plaque as the price varied by $100 per tire based on the rating. I checked my Maverick when I got home and the plaque/sticker is missing and the other one in the glovebox has ...

I'd say either way Brooksey or Mud4B do exceptional looking work, so I'll be able to pick either way! Thanks everyone for your recommendations.

Thanks guys, he does unreal work aswell - I looked at the mogota link.

Good to know theres some good custom 4x4 builders around......

hehe own plug...

PM sent....

Thanks guys I'll look into it and thanks for the heads up micks troll regarding the panel beating, I'm more interested in 4 links and suspension mods more than panel work... Thanks again!

Is there anyone who builds custom fourby's in QLD (Brisbane area) for example: OverKill, Dobbin, ABT M&M etc....

Ok I managed to call the QLD DOT and got put through to this guy who told me 2" suspension is the maximum you can go in QLD, . . . . . . .the goverment are trying to bring the same rules in that QLD have in every state!! :twisted: Funny how even the DOT guys don't know the rules sometimes... T...

Ok I managed to call the QLD DOT and got put through to this guy who told me 2" suspension is the maximum you can go in QLD, however you can apply for a 2" BL through the DOT via a form. As for tires you can only go 15mm bigger than standard!! This is the PDF form link for the modification...

hope he didnt throw away his stock stuff. because he will need it to get a roady and if he gets called into the pits I think he only threw away the shocks as they where stuffed. Everything else he's still got. I think he'll probably sell it... He's going to check with the QLD DOT today. Oh just cru...

Short answer...no it will not be legal in qld, it can't be engineered and won't get registered (well probably-there has been some cases where the people behind the desk dont have a clue and an inspection not needed). If you want to keep the lift in then you'll have to first pass registration then j...

I tried it with no luck, I'll go through the 'General 4x4 tech/discussion' section the slow way until I find something......thanks!

I have a mate with a Nissan Patrol which has a 6" coil lift, no BL and 35" tires. All bought parts no 'I made it myself' parts. He currently lives in Sydney and is planning on moving to QLD sometime this year. He asked me the other day if he'll have problems re-regesitering it in QLD. It i...

If I supercharge my 1990 Maverick SWB auto with 3.9 diff ratios and run 35" tires will I still need to change the diff ratios, is it a matter of power to run 35's or is it about the crawling ratio. The reason I ask is I'm a little confused, the truck is going to be a weekend toy only not a tour...

regear from 3.9 to 4.1 heaps of em around I can't afford them never mind the installing of them.....It won't matter once I supercharge it anyway....I'm concentrating on the driveshaft at the moment - one problem at a time as I'm doing this on a shoe string budget! I just got a quote of a $1000 for ...

You've got the adjustable arms so what have you got to lose by adjusting the angles first. If it still has vibrations you can look at a double carden then. I run a double carden but my lower trailing arms are still longer than standard, as Stu'sBeast has suggested start by extending the lowers 16mm...

Thanks Stu'sBeast and wrxsux, I took a photo last night of the driveshaft angle and talked to Rick at BBM, he said I can dial it out by adjusting the upper trailing arms back in as I have them adjusted out to fit. Plus when I fitted them I had the hand brake on which I believe would stop the diff ro...

Wow - thanks for all the info guys, I went 5" instead of 3" suspension and 2" BL because I wanted to stay away from body lifts as they are famous for body cracks. Chops: It looks like a roller skate as it still has the standard 31" rubber under it, I plan on putting some 33"...

On the weekend a mate and I began on Saturday at 2:30 - 6:00pm putting my 5 inch lift in to the stock Maverick SWB. We got the front end done and called it a day. Sunday morning started again at 10:00am - 4:00pm doing the rear, all things going reasonbly well until we took it for a test drive, no at...

I've spoken to Rick about it before he did heaps of cutting to get the 40" XML's under the guards, don't know about the BL though?

Harrow, thanks for that I'll put my mate on to Rick and Liam at BBM.

rockcrawler31, I'm not impatient it was up since Friday thats a whole weekend......But thank you for your input on this subject I will pass you info onto my mate.

Come on people.....no input what's so ever there must be someone that can point a fellow 4wder in the right direction....

I'm posting this up for a mate who's just bought an 80 series Land Cruiser 1993 model GXL 4.5 petrol. He's already booked it in for an LPG conversion, but also wants to lift it to run 35" tires without performing a body lift! His questions to me were: 1. 4" lift or 6" lift kits? 2. Wh...

Did you guys also see Pete in the 'Haulin or Crawlin 4 Trailer'?

Well done Pete.....!

nastytroll, I bought TJM springs made by King Springs, if there not 5" what are they?

Mulisha, I too have a SWB Maverick and I have just spent the last few months saving and buying parts for a suspension lift. My brother also has a GQ Patrol LWB with a 7" lift and I want to keep up with him. So I bought 5" coils as I wanted to avoid a body lift because the GQ's are famous f...

Viperguy, I have already bought all the components to do the lift as I didn't want to do the body lift due to the GQ's being famous to body cracking etc. So I went 5" springs as they were the same price as 4", couldn't resist. I'll see how it goes with all the other issues etc and worry ab...

I don't have an auto but do have freinds that do, a trans cooler is always a good idea, the thing to check is which auto you have there is a small n large version, 3.9 diffs shood be fine I've fitted 4.11 diffs to an auto on gas running 35 tsl swampers n it was good, there is a set advertised on ol...

I have a 1990 Maverick SWB auto which is getting a 5" lift in 2 weeks and I want to put either 33's or 35's on it, I have the below diff questions... 1. How many people have a 4.2 auto's (3.9 std diff ratios with autos) and run 33's or 35's? 2. How many people have stuffed their gearboxes due t...

I paid for some parts before christmas and still haven't got the items, I sent several sms messages and finally got a message saying I'd get them - I'm still waiting!! On here he's Slingabred or something similar. I read on the 4WDMonthly forum he was selling his business! Somebody should tell the m...
