Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm going to look at one on thursday it's a GU 1999 . But has a little more than 350000 ks . Is that a lot for a diesel ?

Thanks , I will add that to my list of things to look at.

Cheers

Hi There. Due to life changes , I have decided to sell my beloved Bobtail Range rover and get a Patrol ute. I intend to get a GU so ,1999-2000 ish 4.2 turbo diesel , coil cab . So it will do for work and play . As I know very little about the patrols I thought I would ask here . So I'm at a car yard ...

Hey just letting you know I still have your old bobtail and she's still going strong .

BOBTAIL IT !











But I'm biased

Have you looked at Castlemaine Rod Shop , or Mark's adapters . I had one but sold it a year or so ago , I think it was one from Les Richmond automotive.

Someone has to say it...














You pay for quality !

I've heard from a few different sources now , that people just wont touch the Aussie desert stuff . I was always under the impression that it was good .

Never heard any bad press with PWR rads though .

Cheers

Well that's good enough for me !

2 1/2 is the go .

Thanks guys

Cheers

Hi There. I'm thinking of re-doing the exhaust on the bobtail . It's a standard twin carbied 3.5 L. I have some extractors I will put on , and the intend to fab the rest up out of mandrels and tube ( just as an exercise really ,for something to do for the experience ). I was thinking of doing a ...

I used to have a 2 inch body and 4 inch spring lift , and it was a pain in the ass , just too unstable etc , etc .


I now have a 2 1/2 inch body lift and a 3 inch spring lift with the 33 's and find it a good set up.

Much better.

I have the ATR Sport in a 205 -60-16 as a load rated tyre on my work ute ( 2wd Triton ) . And I cant fault them good grip in dry and wet and have lasted years. I would imagine their 4 wd tyres would be good . Going from my experiences with the ATR 's I would not hesitate to buy their other products ...

I think it's about 4.7 litres so 5 litres should get you out of trouble . More if bigger sump is used.

Cheers

I think some people just have too much bloody money.








and no idea

I bought a kit ages ago. It has vented discs and a spacer you put in the caliper to suit the extra width.

Been on for a few years now with no problems .

Got the kit off flea bay I think

I have a Garmin and I like it .

I back off when slowing down very slowly.

I down shift when slowing down slowly.

I brake when slowing down quickly.

I use both when slowing down very quickly.

I also use both when hooning.

I used to have a Suzuki hatch years ago.

It was 900cc and auto.

I haven't heard much about the new great wall 4x4s at all .
Personally I don't think they look any good.


That is what we were talking about ... wasn't it.

I can't remember

Mine is a 77 .
And with the engine in the way and measuring through and around stuff , I came up with 840mm.
Hope that helps .

Cheers

Ps. WHY ?

Apparently the four bolt boxes are stronger. If there is anything else I don't know.

I love Rangey's, Oil leaks, Backlash, Weak axles, Lucas Electrics: the prince of darkness.

And we still buy them and think they are great.

Wouldn't have them any other way.

Thanks . It's a spare one I got a while ago , when I got the Maxi rear. But I will check the number and compare with what is on the ID plate , just to see if there are any similar numbers. Just for shits and giggles. mischievous pixie diff thieves If one pixie could carry that heavy pos away , I'm ...

It used to be this one. I've done a bit to it since then.

Hi There. Not including my time , the paint job prob cost me about $ 300.00 , but to do it again I could do it cheaper due to less experimentation and using less materials. After ALOT of research I ended using a product called " International Brightside " Which is a polyurethane boat paint . 1 L ...

Thanks.
