Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My 1989 TD42 GQ is having gearbox problems it does not want to go in to 2nd properly.

It will go in but when you let out the clutch whilst trying to accelerate it will pop out of gear, but it will go in if you let the motor slow the car, once it has gone in it is fine and will stay in even if you ...

they dont look as strong as cheezy bar

In my experience cheezy bars arent that strong anyway.

I hit a tree at maybe 10km/hr or less on a slippery clay uphill run. The wing bent in and the middle of the bar twisted stopping the winch from working. The left side of my GQ got smashed up.

I'm personally a bit upset at how some people are acting towards some of the bigger cars there. As I saw it it was supposed to be a fun filled event with a slight competitive side and i also cant see how a bigger lift and/or comp truck appeal would advantage you in anyway throughout the event as it ...

Ah ha ha Dora yes i saw it there loved the "modified steps"

I went with a couple of mates one knocked himself out cold on Event 6 : Black Widow Back Up and had to rush him to hospital. Got him checked out and then headed back to camp. Had to tow my other mate out who blew a CV mind you he wasn't ...

You can buy 1 inch spacers that move your front diff forward you would then require an adjustable torque rod, this should fix your scrubbing on your front guard but you will need to cut your bull bar further.

If this doesn't work then i would run a 2inch body lift (PM v6hilux he makes and sells ...

Hi I'm looking at buying a GQ the older style

Flex may be a big issue but as long as makes it up and down gutters i don't think it knows the meaning of dirt

belting it with a ...
