Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a 06 Ford Courier 4x4 and gearbox is still fine, done around 110,000km's now

I have a 06 Ford Courier, i get it serviced regulary and its done around 110,000km's, the only thing i've had to replace was the glow plugs and a uni joint, no problems with the gearbox yet maybe they uprgraded them think 06 was the last year before they replaced it with the ranger..

I read on the Warn website to use a 30W (non detergent) oil

is there any perticular oil (brand and what type is it called) that can be used????

Im re-fitting Air con back onto a TD42 SWB I bought

for the TD42 there were 3 different kits that were put onto them, and each kit had a different wiring loom for it

there was

OE (Nissan)

OE (Local Nissan Dealer Fitted)

Aftermarket Kit fitted by auto electricians

Some models used flare ...

Im thinking about getting a GQ with the carby fed RB30S and replacing it with a RB30ET from a VL turbo

has anyone on here got a GQ running a EFI RB30 (turbo or N/A) how do these motors handle water or mud (talking about the electrical side of things been a petrol engine???)

any help would be great

can anyone tell me are 1/4 pannel chops on patrol legal or illegal - roadworthy speaking that is??

just another thing what the maximum legal lift kit you can do on a GQ patrol (SWB) ?

thanks for the info guys

where can you get these from???

Im looking at getting all the air con bits from a wrecker to put on my 75 series as it didn't come with air conditioning

anyone ever put air con on a 75 and what was involved in doing it??

any help would be great

most kits thats installed by a company range from $2000-$3000 and that generally includes a dyno run

doesnt matter if it is just oil cooled or both, turbo timers are cheap and will save your turbo from costly repairs

Just wondering as to which turbo kit is the best in the way of offroad preformance, I know this has probably been covered before elsewhere but peoples opinions would be great, expecially as im looking at running 36" tyres eventually

Denco
DTS
AXT
Safari
CAPA
Turbo-Glide

can someone give me a rough idea as to how much a 80 series chassis is worth (less body of course..)???

big offset rims and move the diff forward 1", 2" on the springs, 2" shackles & 2" body lift and that should do it

Just wondering what is the easiest way to convert a 75 series (ute) to coils springs

Ive read some people use a 80 series chassis and others just use 80 series diffs, which way is more effective and the cheapest??????

Thanks for the Info thats coming guys. Very helpful..

Any more ideas at all. I am really open to anything.

get a set of 2" raised leaf springs and a good set of shocks for it
Do you recommend a brand? or what i should be looking for in a good shock etc?


all depends what you are after ...

there are heaps of things you can do to a 75 series, just comes down to how much you want to spend and what you are looking to do with the vehicle

Basically to make your rig more better offroad is to get abit of lift under it

get a set of 2" raised leaf springs and a good set of shocks for it ...

is anyone on here still doing or planning to do a group buy from longfields in the USA any time soon

if you are please send me a PM

STT's are useless in mud, I'd only use them as a light off road tyre,

im running a set of extractors on my 1HZ at the moment would I be able to increase the fuel on the pump for more power??

also which way for more fuel on a 1HZ screw in or out??

I need abit of advise on what mods I would need to run a set of 35" tyres on a HZJ75 cruiser

at the moment all I have done to the suspension is a set of 2" extended snake racing shackles as for the rest it is stock standard..

to fit the 35" under the guard what else would I need to do????

correct me if im wrong but from what people have said is that parabolics work well in the front but not in the rear end as you have the weight of the motor etc on them

i take it the only reason why they are not so good in the rear end is because most ute's have bugger all weight in the rear end ...

any chance you have any pics of your manifold setup blazack??

what are you putting them in?

and what are you trying to achieve?


ive got a 75 series Landcruiser

im looking at a set of 2" raised springs, basically im chasing good articulation from the springs and I want some peoples views on what parabolics they are like compared to standard leaf springs

Just wondering if anyone on here is currently using parabolic leaf springs in their 4wd's and what is there opinion of them compared to standard leaf springs and what are the good and bad points about them

any help making my mind up would be great
