Outer Limits 4x4 Board

On my Gq coil cab but you get the idea...

Hey steve i sent you a pm on the weekend... I'm keen on the deal...

Ive got an ebay kit, no probs so far... Came with the koyo bearings as well, the kit all looked good quality.

Hey mate what year is yours.. Pre August 1993 td42s had bigger pistons and rods.
Some good info here...

Thanks for the explanation... I understand what your saying with the bump stops and shock mounts. My main point/question was that by limiting up travel you would restrict down travel. I still can't get my head around the if the axle stops upward movement one end, that it can continue to go down on ...

But if you put a 2 inch lift in and 2 inch bumpstop extensions you still have the same amount of up travel. By running longer shocks with your 2 inch lift and minimal uptravel you can get a lot more down travel which will get you your articulation..

Ok..this is where i get lost. Hopefully some ...

My 20 dollar trojan ratchet from bunnings has outlasted my sidchrome one which busted less than 6 months old, trojan one is still going. Both being used in the same conditions. Must say i won't be buying sidchrome again...

Mate your best bet is go on the 4wd action forum and read the all posts by peter. I see you have already come across some. He knows the things inside and out and rates them very highly. The soflocker is a series IV detroit. same thing. It's just what they call their latest version. It is 'SUPPOSEDLY ...

yeah mate mines got the arb tray.. just had the grind a little bit off one side of the upper lip.. stills sits in it's normal position. Also for some reason i had to chop a little notch in the bonnet for mine to close, it's double skin where i had to chop so all good. others havent had too ...

They sit behind the lhs headlight, just fitted a zd30 one to my gq. and yeah just the one...

Are the replacement air boxes that you get with gq turbo kits as restrictive as the td42t ones... If so i might invest in a 3lt one.

Why ask the tyre guy what to run them at and then disregard it?
I guess it just shows everyone has a different opinion on tyres.
Yep, and Yep..
I laugh sometimes on tire threads, there 10 AWESOME and 10 FAWKT answers to every single one.. theres too many variables to get exact answers

why did ...

yeah i'm on my 3rd tank and i haven't notice a difference in power or economy. If there is an increase in power it's defiantly not noticeable in my TD42 anyway...

I just fitted one of these. Came with everything needed, looked like a good quality kit and was a good price ...

I think your best bet would be to clean it all up with some degreaser, start the car and have someone under the bonnet and determine exactly where the leak is coming from. I have fixed 2 leaks in mine, One on the top cover and one on the bottom of the pump. All for $30. Bought a seal kit from nissan ...

If you spend the extra $$ and get some hella reflectors it's well worth it, bout $50 each from memory. Puts out a much better light. They aren't a sealed beam so you can just replace the bulbs when the die. Good luck with it.

ive got them in mine, i like them as you have the choice of low or low low and when you have a 3.0l petrol that comes in handy, mine didnt cost that much got the std rear shaft shortened and the front shaft needs a centre bearing to clear the cross member, i made my own by cutting the nissian shaft ...

Im sorta lost on the point of the dual cab gig, if you dont have a car with a smashed roof, or rear end.

The tray on the red GQ appears too small to fit much on...
eg: A m/bike? or much else, that you couldnt fit in a wagon.
help?

Yeah but they look better than wagons... :cool:
It's a ute ...

Hey all,
Was doing a bit of reading on the marks 4wd website and toying with the idea of going dual transfer. Now all of the figures i'm using will be for a TD42 and 3.9 diff ratios.

Standard Final drive ratio is 33.58:1
with 85% reduction gears fitted final drive ratio is 62.215:1

Now if i would ...

Yeah i'd like to see some more pics to..
That maroon one by Kustom is the nicest i've seen!
Never used to really like the look but that ones got some sex appeal...

yeah these were early test days, so we took all the shocks off to see what length shocks we needed to get for it. we were amazed! to say the least. cus we were always told crap like you need an a-frame top to get flex. well we proved that wrong! the top arms are STOCK. and we get sooo much flex it ...

this truck is running a 4-5" lift and Long-arm rear with superflex front arms. I am still waiting on some new shocks for the front from the USA, so that will help. The long arm rear works awesome, keeps the pinion at a sweet angle all the time, and just plants the tires when you launch it.

here is ...

Thanks for the explanation.

I modded my arb bar a little so i could fit mine. I doubt there would be any aftermarket bars that would suit it. Have you got the factory bar they come in? I know they are ugly as fark thats why i made mine fit into my arb. Spose a tube would be your best bet. Plus they look sweet.

I dont think the front and rear shafts would have to be at massivly different speeds. On a dirt road there will be wheel spin, proably so minute you wont even notice it. But this is enough to make the centre diff work hard causing early wear.

You really don't understand how diffs work.

This was ...

But isnt it true that if you own a full time 4wd that you should lock the centre diff in this situation.

No, it's not true.

I have heard that the actual center diffs themselves aren't the strongest things and on loose traction surfaces such as dirt roads they spin like crazy causing premature ...

I read a few people saying that full times are better for dirt roads. But isnt it true that if you own a full time 4wd that you should lock the centre diff in this situation.

Hi Shane,
What size shocks would you be supplying for the 4-5" flexy coils in the rear of a gq?
