Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've been told i should just offer him a slab of beer, it's a 1976 Nissan Patrol G60 MWB util' (removable top) it's got some rust underbody on suspension and body, it is wearing 7.50 R16 A/T's , with the two front ones removed, 3sp manual, 4 litre inline 6, 2 stick transfer case, bullbar, roofrack ...

my left leg would start to shake while holding the clutch in for a while at lights in dads troopie, never driven offroad so i don't know about that, but i can see how.

It just woke up my mum who was asleep on the couch ROTFLMAO

I saw a set upclose today on a rangie, i think they were the 33"s cos they weren't bead to bead, they were bead to the edge of the tread. bridgestone duellers as the donor carcass. maybe they were 32"s. the guy lives down the road, and i can hear him coming for ages, the chunky mongrels and the ...

Well the reason i was asking is because all along i've been looking for cheap cruisers, and the next house to me has a G60 parked in the driveway, the old guy doesn't live there and never drives it, and recently removed the front wheels. so with me being desperate for a 4wd i decided i dont mind too ...

hi,
how much would you expect to pay for an old stock nissan patrol G60?

cheers Dan.

(I know i know, im a cruiserman, but any 4wd is better than none....)

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING

Yeah the back seat of my friends rocky does the same thing,
do you know if that includes the back seat also of the 55?

cheers again. *aaaah*

quite literally actually with no headrests, but this one i'm looking at has bucket seats up front,

thanks for that patrol dude.

i'll bring this topic back up again,

my local motorway distributor claims it's too hard to get 33" mongrels in cos they aren't that common, has anyone else had this trouble?

cheers.

it'd be hard work, but in the end it would worth it too.
thanks again.

I was wrong, no roadworthy, no rego, and is a '77, has some decent bucket seats up the front instead of the bench, tinted windows, but the thing is i kinda want to get an old one like this as a long term project to restore and do up. i spose im a bit of a iron pig enthusiast, hate to see one waste ...

ok thanks for that,
so if you put new metal in the affected are that would start to rust too, only slower with an ERPS,

cheers.

Okay, im sure this topic would've been covered but i couldn't find any, just a quick question or 2. okay so theres some bad rust, you poke it out, grind it with wire brush etc, neutralise it and protect it, bog it up and paint it or new metal put in, it's bound to start again in a couple of years ...

$550, geez that's an alrght price, i don't reckon they're ugly at all, i reckon it adds to their appeal, but thats in the eye of the beholder. has anyone in victoria seen any cheap 55s for sale in caryards or private? i like em because their practicallity suits me nicely, 4 door, 6 seats with cargo ...

dunno it might have a warranty, but i doubt it, i'll go check it out again today on my way through

Daniel.

yeah roadworthy with a couple months of rego, i think it is a '78

think i will try the trading post when i've got the money

G'day, i spotted a 55 in a car yard, 6 months ago it was$7000, then it was $5000, now it's down to $3000. from what i could see it seemed to be in reasonable condition apart from some cancer in the usual places for a 55, bottom of doors and edge of roof, it has gas not fitted, hot water unit, roof ...

dunno about any of those questions, but we had a jackaroo, until of course the engine decided to do itself in and go bang, apparently holden put the wrong size bolts inside the engine somewhere, probably the bolts that hold the piston rods to the crankshaft, because one fine afternoon one of the ...

Na no need to worry, thanks, you can sell it, just was wondering why plastic has such a high price tag.
might get dad to have a look here tho

oh and the snorkel wasn't $400 - $500, it was a rusty old one that came with the car.

thanks guys

Thanks folks. I pulled the alternator out, I've had this problem before and it was the brushes completely worn out, this time the problem has been really intermittant, so I pulled the alternator out again, I checked all the diodes and stator but all OK, the slip rings were very grotty, ( mud from ...

Hi,
Glow plug light goes on and then off straight away, have been starting with just the heat from it turning over,
are looking into it now, thinking it may be the alternator brushes causing it,
has anyone encountered this problem before on same or other motor?
thanks for any help.

Well, I'm not going to have a buggy, and will only be doing general 4WDing, so I guess standard weight is the goods! I think I'll want a 45 series LandCruiser Ute, thinking about work in the mines somewhere outback, wont need many seats and a tray could be handy. Mount Skene? my mates took me there ...

Such a shame, but in the end its just a posession that can be fixed/replaced, lucky you had a rollbar, good that you are ok at least.

G'day,
is it better to have your 4wd light or heavy?
what is better for what purpose?
i can think of a few reasons but i was just wandering what everyone else has to say,
thanks, cheers!
Daniel.

Hi,
my dads donaldson snorkel pre filter broke a while ago, so he was looking at getting a scoop replacement,
problem was they were about 70 or 80 dollars, so he didn't get one
he been going without one for 6 months now
why is a molded piece of plastic so expensive?
its rediculous

cheers

Yeah did the same thing in my car with power steering, its then becomes harder to drive than a car with no power steering to start with, cos it's not made to do that, my dads troopy has ps and is easier to drive than my brothers car that has no ps, well that was before he wrote it off anyway, geez ...
