Outer Limits 4x4 Board

need to get my guards cut on my GQ to fit the 35"s as I don't want to lift the body and I don't trust myself to do it (you should see me trimming the hedge, pannel work no way) so was wondering if anyone knows of a good pannel shop in eastern burbs of Melb. it is a nice straight body so want a good ...

my one cost me about $1500 to get done a few years ago
and make sure they put the right ratio back in (long and very costly story)
but any way after I fixed all the little things that went wrong at about 200,000 kms I was very happy with it until it went up in flames at 202,500km
good times

you shouldn't have to

Lancefield is Qld??

37's are illlegal in Qld, and are they 18x10's?
If so, they will be too.

did you mean legal or illegal?
found my own answer it seems qld is only bothered by how wide tyres are but not by how tall they are (learn something new everyday)
seems strange to me cause larger ...

I am led to believe (i might be wrong) that insurance will only cover legal mods so unless you have your car engineered to run 37" tyres on 18" bead locked rims you will be out off luck on the insurance side of things and they may knock back any clame you make in regards to a vehicle if you run ...

the only 4x4 tyres that we used to repair side walls on was for a guy that did comps. tyres were for off road use only.
if you get court with a side wall repaired tyre on the road your car will be put of the road and if you say which tyre place fixed it they will be fined. it is a rather big no no ...

tyre places are not aloud to do side wall repairs as it will make your car unroadworthy not even aloud to do it for trailer tyres.

what is the diff between jap and aust roads? we both drive right hook.

anyway wasn't this about diesel and gas

I know that this isn't the same but I was sick of watching me blow unburnt diesel out the so I add some unleaded a HUGE difference.I'll see how the economy is after this weekend at Noosa.
not a good idea!!!!
1 litre of petrol in 1000 litres of diesel drops the flash point of your diesel from 64 ...

if your droping your transfer down 40-50mm so you can have a 6inch lift then you might as well just gone 4 inch saved some cash and had the same ground clearance under your car......
I think you have a set up prob not a spacer prob if you needed a spacer that big I hope it would come with the kit

caster plates flog out and may need to be replaced every 50K-100K km depending how and where you drive so they work out more costly in the long run and drop boxes give better wheel travel, handling and ride.

and yes I know there will be those that say but I have had caster plates on mine for 200K ...

my wrx goes faster, handles better and rides better than my gq
who would have thought as they are both 4 wheel drive
sarcasm intended

had same prob with works mq ute turned out to be shakle bushes and one of the front shocks to look at nothing seemed that bad but the wobble put me in the drain on the side of the road once and on the wrong side of the road once before i got it sorted

these guys would be half a chance they have lots of this type of thing

sounds to me that what you would like to do for winch comp's is what jeep speed did for offroad racing in the U.S
top stuff and push on with it
this web might be worth a look for how they did there rules on car mods

i stand corrected

i used to fit michelin earthmover tyres and i see some potential probs with these tyres on a road going 4x4
1st prob is the extra weight aprox 25 kg over conventional 4x4 tyre the same size. alot more strain of bearings, axles, cv's etc
2nd/ far to rigid in the side wall for the weight of the ...

your right both dream'n

the one at 10k tell him he's dream'n

the first one is the one that i brought
the auto prob seams to have been lack of use has come good.
needed a new exhaust, drag link, gas tank test and tyres
goes great and looks better and had less probs and km's than some i looked at for 8 or 9 grand

i had a supercharger on my zook the power is amazing
8500km on a rebuit motor not so great. piston pieces numbered 14 on second rebuild and a buggerd head
blower didnt go back on
so if going down this path do more homework than did

might sound stupid but have you tried another rad cap
Ive brought a faulty one which caused similar problem
might help.
