Outer Limits 4x4 Board

That isn't a lift kit for a coil spring Sierra, it's a coil conversion kit for a leaf sprung Sierra. Two very diferent things.

What type of Sierra do you have?
The coil conversion would need engineering so I'd make sure before.

Also not sure if Glenn even makes those kits any more, his service can ...

Have used yellow camp lights with no major bug issues.
Have used white fluros which attracted heaps of bugs
Currently use a very white LED strips in my trailer and bugs are very rarely attracted to the point I dont bother with yellow camp light

My Sierra used to have a red interior light for night ...

What comps are you going to enter? What mods do they allow? What level of legality or engineering do they require?

Just got myself a Jackaroo Monterey V6 petrol as a daily driver, family car. Keep the Patrol purely for camping/offroading.

Great to drive but managed to run out of fuel and now check engine light is on

It isn't an Old Man Emu suspension as they dont do 4" lifts. So you need to be sure of what you have actually got and make sure it is done properly than it's a bit of a process. Are the wheels balanced, rims straight, wheel alignment, steering all
Fine no loose components etc etc

I ran an ARB compressor under my bonnet on the Sierra for years and it never missed a beat. I have been windscreen deep in a river with no bonnet without any dramas. Also many mud and river crossings without a drama.

Pajero or Jackaroo

Why does it have to be a 4wd why not just a normal car?
Assuming you have a 4 wd

I think may be eskys not edits

Why are you wanting to do an engine swap? What are hoping to achieve? Is the current engine dead?

O get some lockers, some gearing and a set of 33s and just drive it

I had a 3/4 setup on my zook and never had issues with axle wrap or uncontrolled flex like wacky shackles give. Gave me a lot more flex with no dramas at all.

Have you checked for air leaks like VW Dave suggested a few times?

I wouldn't carry my kids in the back of a Sierra. The ride is terrible and would not be great for a small baby regardless of car seat plus safety factor of, well, bugger all

There is heaps of good tech in this thread , lots of info of pitfalls you need to be aware of to make it work.
If you don't want any sort if constructive criticism that may include reasons of why your decision may not be the best idea then why are you on the Internet?

If you have the skills and ...

Swb or Lwb?

Have you compared weights of the Sierra stuff and the new stuff? Sierras react badly to excessive weight in the wrong places so you will need to play around with adding, moving weight around to get a good balance happening. Chassis strength can be an issue. Steering will be a bit if a ...

I too own a Suzuki and have done for the last 9 months.

It's horses for courses obviously but the biggest problem is the assumption that there is only one answer. Generally when someone asks about upgrading those generally with no idea spout Hilux the only answer, then after a usual outers ramble ...

Good t see the usual dickheads in Atari and super only chime in with useless crap when I post. Grow up idiots and move on

Find an engineerbefore you start and work with him through the conversion. Most don't like to sign off a completed job as they prefer to be part if the process

They arent building them for those comps, they are building them for their terrain so not sure what it has to do with the argument.

Don't get me wrong though, good on Powerful for building a truck and giving it a go. Just reckon it would reflect a lot better on them if they actually drove the obstacles with skill rather than speed. Wouldn't it be better if next year people were talking about how well they drove and what a great ...

Mosko I wasn't trying to start one either, was just a question point of view.

Once again Powerfull 4x4 get more coverage then any other team!

Even if some see it as negative coverage, it's better then no coverage at all
right??

Heck they got near on last place, but still more has been said about them then the top runners! Commenting on it is just fuelling the fire, and in ...

Fix the engine already in there much better option

What suspension mods if any?
What sort of terrain and driving?
What sort of budget?
What problems do you have with your current setup?
Why do you need to change, what ate you hoping to achieve by getting new shocks?

Pot meet kettle

Appears it might be a split bush in the front trailing arm. It hasn't had rhe shudder again but it has needed a wheel alignment and tyre balance for awhile. Might get that done and do a proper look
At the bushes.

How involved is it tO replace them in both trailing arms and panhard? I'm guessing I'd ...

Today a violent shudder has appeared in the rear (I believe) of my GU wagon. Drove to lunch it was fine no shudder, but when I drove back it appeared. It seems to be appearing at around the 60-80 mark and disappears when I accelerate.

It has a 5 year old 2" lift in it and couple year old 33 mud ...

Forgot aout them, have driven one in the US and been wheeling with one as well. They were a slightly strange thing to drive. They had no balance so you forever felt like it was on the edge of getting out of control whether you were on the highway or crawling on a track. The low down power at idle ...

Have driven a Sierra with a twin turbo Supra engine fast but scary as hell.

Have seen 350 chevs shoe horned in as well.

You could make that all legal in Nsw what in QLD the lift and tyres have no hope of ever being legal
