Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If I were to get a snorkel, change out to a good air filter and have a good exhaust fitted would I have any noticeable gains? What sort of exhaust setup would you advise?

Are the BFG A/T KO as good as the older BFG A/T that everyone recommends? People were saying they were getting 90,000kms from a set, you reckon the KO's will do similar mileage?

Check ut Toyo Opats. They are great on the road and in mild 4wd use. They are made in Japan, wear very well and are a good price. I was using Michelin Synchrones as road tyres and the tyre guys said that the Toyos would be better in every department than the Michelins and they have been correct at ...

So far I have been recommended Pirelli Scorpien or Mickey Thompson Wildcat A/T's

My current tyres are worn out and I need a new set.

I drive on the beach occasionally, rarely offroad but sometimes (plan to go on a trip later this year) and mainly on the tarmac.

I want something that will last 60-80,000k+ hopefully.

Size required LT265/70R16 for my Navara D22 DX.

I can't find the Wildcat's on the MT site but they are an A/T tyre.

The Pirellis are $225 a tyre for 265/70R16 and $245 for a MT Wildcat in same size.

Can't decide what to get?

I found some cool 8" wide wheels with 0 offset, will these suit my D22 Navara? The seller tells me they will. I have standard guards, is there anyway to check? I guess if the wheels are 0 offset and I want to put on 9.8 inch tyres I can safely measure 4.9" from the mounting point and see if this ...

Any idea what year pajero wheels will suit?

I have a 2006 Nissan Navara D22 DX

I want some new wheels and found some that say "Suit hilux, land cruiser and patrol". Will these suit my Navara?

Mitch

Or would a 245/75R16 be a better choice and 16"x7" wheels be better? And who makes 16"x7" alloys for 4wd?

Looking to get some new wheels and tyres and looking at some 8inch x 16" CSA wheels and looking to go LT265/75R16 tyres. Could anyone give me some insight on the fitment to a D22 DX Single cab with stock lift? Will they fit? If so will there be scrubbing and will the tyres still be inside the guards ...

I just got a cheap turbo timer from ebay, it says in the instuctions i need a Harness that is sold separately to connect into the ignition wires, where can i get one of these? Or would it be easier just to use wire taps into the ignition wires?

I'm looking to get some lights but don't wanna spend $2k on LF HID's. What lights are a good starting base to buy and then swap in some HID bulbs? And is that all you need to do? (swap bulbs) ?

Mitch

Ok so could it be an expensive problem to fix? And if its the engine mounts, how do u go about changing them?

Just wondering how hard it would be and would it give a noticeable boost in torque? Would it be hard to come by a ZD30 intercooler off a Patrol at a wreckers? And what could I expect the whole project to cost me? And is it just a simple matter of extending the pipes down to the front, mount the ...

thats just a courier right? if so check the engine mounts fairly common, check your gear box mount and bits and pieces. if its nothing of the above most likely clutch shudder I'm not sure, but possible as i know ford call there courier a b2500 as well. So you reckon just check the engine mount ...

My brother bought this car today, but he hasn't noticed it in the past few test drives before buying it. But I have a bit more knowledge than him and if you let the clutch out at idle speed (approx 750rpm) or a bit above it has a bad shudder, if you rev it upto 1k+ then let the clutch out it's fine ...

Would 31's fit do you think?

I got a '06 Navara DX 4x4 and looking for new tyres and wheels.

Could anyone give me any idea of what the largest tyres I could fit with stock lift would be?

Would 33's fit?

Cheers

My brother is looking to buy either a 4x4 or a single or extra cab ute for approximately $10,000. Will be mainly used for driving up the North Shore as he is a mad keen surfer. Would prefer Diesel or Turbo Diesel

What can you get that is a decent car for this price?

I have a TD42 GQ Patrol We had BFG AT now have MT FCII, the FCII are great, heaps better performance on and offroad then the BFG AT. The tyrepower dealer that I got them through are doing the 80000 warranty thing also, but as with coopers you have to get them balanced and rotated by a dealer. Next ...

The price they gave you is about retail Just rang my local dealer, they are just around the corner. He quoted $242 (balanced and fitted per tyre) for FCII's in 31x10.5/15 and about $70 per black 15x8 sunraysia wheel. He said no MT dealer can sell tyres cheaper as they have a price agreement across ...

Ok, I'm gonna get the MT FCII's, as mentioned they are guaranteed 80,000miles in the US. I know this doesn't apply hear but damn sounds like a decent tyre.

So are most places pretty competitive with tyre prices?

I'm looking to get some new tyres on a set of 15x7 Sunnies for my Nissan Navara D22 Singe Cab with standard lift. I will be mainly driving on the beach and road and am looking for a chunky tyre that will last and look good and looking to get the biggest tyre possible with standard lift that ...

I got a new Nissan Navara D22 DX single cab, took it up the North Shore for the first time yesterday. Itr has 6.5inch stock wheels and skinny tyres and i found it hard to get through the softer stuff up towards Double Island point. So i let some air out of the tyres and it made a bit of difference ...

The car came with skinny 6.5inch sunraysia style rims and skinny tyres. I want to upgrade to a wider and possibly bigger tyres/wheels, any idea what size i can fit with standard suspension?

Mitch

if you ring a company in tamworth called OBIECO body builders they have a black plastice cover strip for the top of he side boards, reasonably priced, also by putting a rubber matt on a steel tray causes rust as the tray sweats. i would rather every 12 months re spray the tray floor than have rust ...

Hey i notice alot of people have like black nylon pipe cut and they put it over the edges of the tray flaps. Is this just black pipe or something else that you can specially buy? Also i was considering buying one of those woven mats from Blueys, but i will go check what clark rubber has, might be ...

might as well give nissan a try, never know your luck. otherwise ring around seat cover places. try black duck seat covers, got front bucket and rear bench seat covers from them for my cruiser and i love them. did a search for you, go to http://www.black-duck.com.au they have Navara seat covers ...
