Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just as suggested they were on a card in the airbox. There seems to be a fusible link on the card that all three resistors are in series with, not sure why as it is fuse protected in the fuse box?? Anyhow the fusible link was open circuit so I have soldered a solid link in and all works okay for now...

Thanks for the info, will pull the glovebox out and seewhat I can find...

The heater fan in the cabin of my GU wagon only works on setting #4. I can see on the wiring diagram that there is a resistor box between the switch and the fan that controls the other three settings, and I have checked the switch itself and all tests okay. Before I spend hours searching for the res...

I agree, plenty of mud in the beads on the old style, new KM2's are much better, not one leak in 40000k's.

Was around $300, that was a few years ago and the exchange rate wasn't anywhere as near as good as it is now which would work in your favour.

I bought mine from this mob a few years ago, never had any problems. http://www.rocky-road.com/lockright.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for the tip, I will pass your number on to him.

It was a few years ago now but I ended up buying genuine frames at 200 a side. A bit pricey but it was the easiest option at the time.

A mate has just done a 4.2TD conversion into a 2.8 GU. He sourced the 4.2 motor from a GQ, and can't work out how to get the tacho working. Any tips on which wires in the 2.8 harness connect to where on the motor would be appreciated. Cheers.

I replaced the frame in my GQ and there was no rust anywhere else, the body was fine. Was quite easy to pull the rubber and frame out once I summoned the courage up to give it a go.

I used a Richmond Gears Lockright Locker from the USA in a SWB GQ running 33's a few years ago and had no dramas at all despite everything I threw at it.

Another one called Purple Polish, a bit pricey but works really well.

I had never done one till recently, a 99 GU TD42 and seal came mounted in the appropriate alloy plate that bolted to back of block, a bit pricey but easy to install.

Just fitted the same to mine last week, rang the local ARB store to confirm and they told me A on the drivers side and B on the passenger side. Sits as level as expected.

I would say be carefull running the 33x9.5's BFG. I had them on my old MQ shortie years ago and I ended up wearing out the sidewall more then the tread! They seemed to be too tall for the width and would roll on the rim a bit. Depends on the weight of the car and how you drive it but i guess. I wou...

Thanks for the info. Carpark is 2.1, 33s is all i need so glad to hear they will fit under a lift less than 4 inches, thanks again.

Just updated the SWB GQ to a GU wagon, about to start to build it up and have a couple of questions hoping someone might be able to answer. Chasing a winch bar ofr the front, will a ute bar fit on a wagon or are chassis width/mounts too different? Car already has a small lift but not sure how far ab...

Thanks guys, I have found someone who is capable and willing to have a look for me. I was going to give the RACV a miss, if they are anything like their NSW counterparts I wouldn't have much faith in their inspections.

Looking to buy a GU and have found one not too far from Warragul that sounds okay, only problem I am in NSW and cant get down that way for a week or two. Is there anyone in the area who might be interested in doing a pre purchase check for a bit of cash or could put me on to someone who might? PM me...

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Due to an ever expanding family, looking to upgrade the swb GQ to a GU, can anyone tell me whether the DX model has the mounting points for the third row of rear seats so it could be turned into a seven seater?

Question about how tyre size would affect caster angle, wouldnt the tyre size make no difference at all? Larger tyres would not change the angle between the chassis and diff which seems to be the reason for correcting caster angle, i.e the taller the spring the more caster correction required. Tyre ...

Is it possible/dangerous to disconnect the rear shaft, put it in 4H and drive it by the front wheels to 100kmh? That way I can at least pin point if it is tailshaft back. It is possible to remove the rear shaft to try and isolate the noise, just be ready for some strange handling characteristics, a...
