Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sounds like a bad earth Guntree. I had a similar problem on my maverick a few months after upgrading the wiring loom. Turned out that the screw where i earthed it had come loose. If you can find where the earth is give the contacts a clean and sand with sandpaper or emery.

G'day Guys

Will 265 / 75 R16 BF Muddies on GU Rims fit on a Maverick?

And will they fit properly or will they rub, hang out the side, etc.

Cheers,

Ben

Thanks for that guys.
Gonna get it booked in tomorrow. I think i'll be getting allhead services to do the work.

Hi guys, I'v just checked the oil in the mav (tb42 carby) and found its got a fair bit of water in there. I realize the head is probably cracked so i was just wondering what people have paid to get their heads taken off and recoed or for a new/reconditioned head and fittament? Also who have people ...

G'day Guys My GQ (tb42 gas/petrol) is well and truely due for a decent tune and possible electronic ignition install (if funds are available). I've had some bad experiences with mechanics that havn't really done the best of jobs so i'm after a reputable gas mechanic. Has anybody had any good ...

Cheers Bazzle,
It was just wishfull thinking i think.

Hey guys,
A mate is selling a steel GU bullbar and i was wondering whether it would be worth making it fit my mav. Are the GU and GQ bullbars the same width? What would be involved and do you know the aprox. price to get this done?
Do you guys think it would be worth it?

Thanks,

BEn

Where are you? what size are the rims/tyres? And how much tred is left on the tyres?

I think i might put 6 inch 3 ways in the back doors. Iv already got pioneer 6 in 3 ways in the front doors. Then when i get some more money maybe but an amp in and some speakers in the barn doors. Iv still got to get a bull bar first and had the batteries tested the other day and they both failed ...

Are they good speakers Bogged? I was considering putting rear speakers in the barn doors. Should i just put them in the rear doors?

G'day Guys Just wondering what you guys had done for rear speakers in your GQs/Mavs? I realise there is room in the rear doors but is there enough room for 6x9s or should i go with 6 inches? There is a sale on this w/e at JB hifi so i thought i might get something. Im lookin at no more than $150 ...

Cheers guys.
I think il get a quote to get it ixed and if its not too much il get it done. The mongrels that did it will be paying. I know there will be more dints to come so i cant really worry too much.

Thats what i was thinking. But ones car is shizen anyway and another dint would be an improvement but the other has an Yammy R1. I could always nock it over

G'day Guys I finally got a 4wd after 6 months of looking. Its a LWB '89 Mav on petrol. My problem is i have a bunch of derro mates, and less than a week after getting it they have managed to fall into the door and push it in. The major dint has pushed out, however, there are creases where there are ...

Hey guys. What do you think of this? Ford Mav. '89 LWB 4.2 dual fuel, 5 spd a/c p/s roof rack, cargo barrier, dual batteries, 4 extra wheels and tyres, towbar and upgraded suspension. RWC and 12 months reg. It is in almost perfect condition inside and out. Iv driven it and the only prob i can see is ...

Thanks for that guys. I think il make sure i get a car with less than 200k if i do get one. Because going to uni i dont have the budget to be doing major engine work just after i'v forked out several thou on a car.

Does anybody know how many k's a 3 litre petrol pajero engine is good for? I looked at a 1992 one the other day that had 233000 and seemed OK.

Cheers,
Ben

Thanks for the great response guys. It is much appreciated. I'v learnt quite a bit. For those that asked. Im in the process of looking for a new car at the moment (prob. SWB mav or Patrol) and i wont be doing any serious mods. to it due to goin to uni and the lack of moula . I'l see if its cheaper ...

G'day guys and gals Im about to start the process of sifting through all the insururance companies and was wondering if there were any any people out there around my age that have already been through this process and could let me know their experiencs. I have read most of the posts on insurance but ...

Sorry, but im not a big fan of the rangie. They may be cheap to buy, but expensive to run. I'v also heard that reliabilty is pretty average.

Sounds good nam.

The Zooks are obviously a good rig bubs but not roomy enough with a couple of my derro mates and a bit of gear.

Thats the best advice so far TFD. Unfortunately i havnt got ne mates with decent 4bies. one has a SWB pajero and he wont take it off road, not that it would get very far with him driving.

Thanks for the advice. The Bundy or a GQ sounds good. The sierra is a bit small once i chuck in the swag and a bit of gear and a disco i'v herd is expensive to run and repair not to mention insure.
Cheers

G'day guys. I am 19 and looking at getting a secondhand fourby in the near future and was wondering if i could have some opinions on what to get. I have a budget of $9k absolute max including rego and insurance. I need something that is relatively economical, reliable and will handle regular ...
