Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I use to have wagon GQ with the 4.2 carby petrol as well. I gave up trying to use the words economy and carby in the same sentence. I could only get about 300-350k's out of a 100L tank running 33's. I ended up selling it. Wish i had have kept it now and whacked in a V8 instead.

oops i thought you meant the return to centre dampers when i was ranting on before.

I believe they are a load of crap. I got one on a jeep i had and it leaked at full lock. I got told by the supplier that i was supposed to adjust my steering stops to suit the new damper which would stop it leaking. What a crock of $hit. The damper should have been made to suit the vehicle it was ...

Are you going to have them all on at once? If you are i would be looking at HID's

I have done something very similar twice to a set of IPF's. They were mounted on to the front of an ARB bar. In both cases it bent the mounting points on the bar without doing any damage to the lights. I thought that was pretty impressive as the mounting points were the standard steel tabs on a ...

Maybe try somewhere that does truck tires

How did you know simex is the control tire? Maybe a list needs to go up of what type of equipment to get and what sponsers to get it from so everybody interested can get the same deals.

Not 100% sure but once the steering had reached its stops wouldnt the ram keep pulling or pushing and break the stops off if you kept turning.

What do you want to use the vehicle for? Not sure it would be worth spending so much money on shocks just for a 2" lift. I will try and find out if it can be done for you though.

Actually after thinking about it i hope this is run with any other make of vehicle instead of patrols as i dont want the price of second hand vehicles and spare parts to go up lol.

What vehicles would you run that have solid axles and coils front and back that run naturally aspirated carby motors? Or would you open it up to any engine type?

Why not go the 35x11.5 extreme trekkers if you want more width

OME

Also high mounts are better suited to synthetic rope. The drum on a low mount can get too hot causing the rope to fail. You can fit more rope on a highmount than a lowmount as well.

It doesnt look like people will be happy untill there is a class that is just for bog stock vehicles. With no lift, no lockers and no mods allowed at all. Just so they dont have to spend any money to compete. I would laugh if i came to watch this as these vehicles would do so much damage to ...

You would either have to allow efi and turbo diesel patrols or use carby cruisers

I think its a great idea. Even though i wont qualify with the current modification limits i think it will be good for getting people into the sport. From there they will have a lot of fun and decide if they want to stay at that level or go up classes with more mods allowed. The cage will definately ...

Would love to have competed but will be at work then. Also havnt got a vehicle yet lol. I will be chasing pictures and video footage afterwards though.

Have to say i agree with al the people on here saying that 9" coils is too high unless you never plan on driving it fast offroad. By fast i mean 100 odd k's an hour not 30. I also wouldnt want to see that thing on the road either as it will just attract the cops attention which is bad for everyone ...

Yep i was going to say king shocks. But you dont need to go as big as 4" unless money is no object.

There are a few shocks out there that can handle running under a patrol offroad at high speed without having to go to a dual setup. You just need to be willing to spend the money to buy them.

I would definately be looking at better shocks than going to a dual shock setup

I knew the 6.5L diesels didnt make a lot of power but i always thought the torque rating was huge. I thought they made a lot more than 390Nm.

After reading that it looks like noone really knows what the ccda specs are. Just says to go with cams.

Might be a stupid question but why cant you roll start it with the hubs engaged

I thought you could only get alloy ones engineered now.

I put a set of 35 BFG muds on my Bundera in 1989 and replaced them 2 years ago, well over 100,000 K's and even though the car see's no off road and is powered by a 2.4L 4 cyl engine I can't complain about that. I have had BFG muds since the early 80's and always been happy with them, my only ...

Before you get excited i would ask the price of the bypass shocks as well. They arent cheap but damn they work well.

Is definately intended for competition use. I have checked out the thread on the malaysian zooks from the OBC. Was just seeing if anyone had any more info in general on them. Thanks for all the help so far and anyone else feel free to add more.

Hey Jeep1 what have you decided to do. Are you going to enter in the TJ?
