Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi All,

I have a 03 Wrangler and it seems i have a sticky lifter/noisy ticking tappets. Was just wondering if anyone knows anything to get rid of the noise?? I've tried flushing the engine without success. Some people mentioned there was some cleaning agent that can be run through once which can do ...

Afternoon all,

My mate has a GU 2002 3.0 turbo deisel truck.Was just wondering if the Safari snorkal is any better then the genuine nissan snorkal. Assume it would be roughly the same, but there is a price difference of about $100(nissan being cheaper). If there is a genuine reason why safari costs ...

could be an aftermarket window. i bought a wrangler today with aftermarket glass windows which is awesome as i really dont like the plastic ones.

also that link you posted wouldn't work for me, so i dunno what your actually reffering to!

here's what my windows look like, i can always go to the ...

Thats really looking the goods. My missus is going to purchase a car soon, and i hadn't even thought of a GV till i saw this thread. So now i have some convincing to do. $8000 - $10 000 budget so we might be a little short :cry: keep my fingers crossed.

How does it compare to the Jimny?? Looks alot ...

i have a lockrite in my garage at the moment. going o/sea a couple of times before christmas so can't really afford to have it installed yet...most quotes have been more then actually getting the locker.

once its in im happy to take you for a spin, but don't hold your breath!!

i understand nt with wt diffs would be the most desirable. we were talking about this at work today with mixed results. i was more curious then anything else what everyone thought.

if you had to choose between a lwb nt or swb wt...what would you prefer..?

For medium - hard wheeling. what would people rather?

I'm looking for a sierra as my brother may get one. I'll be looking at one that has had an engine conversion. 1.3 not the best onroad, freeways etc.

When i first had my sierra, no matter what i did, the temp stayed around 1/3....even after 3-4 hours 4wd which included 1.5 hr drive each way up the freeway. no problem. It then started to overheat and blew gaskett. Had new head put in, and brand new radiator and hoses themostat etc etc same as ...

Thought so. Cheers for the sig line btw.

Just a quick noob question........i calculated E85 to be 25% cheaper then regular unleaded, however heard E85 requires appox 35% more fuel to go the same distance as regular unleaded. Would that not make it more costly anyway, never mind all the other engine associated issues??


sorry for the ...

Great thread guys.....even managed a positive comment from Grimbo!!!

Good to see they're in touch with the common 4WDer who wants a major feature on things to put on a $90,000 200 Series :roll:

Tyres look shit hot though

Agreed.... I stopped buying 4wd Australia when every new vehicle they reviewed was either a Porsche, Volvo, VW, BMW, Audi etc......

Would be ...

I read this article at the newsangency today, the review was very short and vague and the price was $399 for the 17 inch rims they tested. I don't remember the tyre size.

285/70 R 17

will it ever happen.....this post is over a year old

...."with trygard three-ply sidewalls, diggerlugz block tread and rim protection they promise tough performance. They are reasonably quiet onroad and have increased tractive ability off road"
price $399

not much of a review

they are some pretty good instructions.

does a 2" body life need to be engineered in nsw??

it will be good to see that green go

When you get overtaken on the freeway by a 16 wheeler....UPHILL!!!!!

really looking forward to seeing this paint job!!

Hey Guys

This is a question for a mate of mine who is computer illiterate!

He is about to purchase his first 4WD and is looking a GU PATROL ST 4.2 ltr petrol/gas.

Just want to know if there have been any known issues with this model especially relating to the Gas.

It’s a 99 model and 140 kms on ...

I have 006 2inch kings in my sierra and find a complete lack of flex. Does anybody else have this same setup? im thinking maybe my shocks could be restricting the flex and may take them off and see what the flex is like without them on, but before i do, i was thinking maybe others had the same ...

but it's such a bargin.......that you look past the colour

Cheers i'll have a look this weekend. Hope that is all that is wrong with it

But It only happens in 4WD Hi, if it were a busted engine mount should it not rattle all the time? or at least at accross all transmissions?

hey guys, im getting a wierd grinding/rattling noise in hi range 4wd in my 90 sierra. it happens in 3rd and 4th gear and now seems to be hitting 2nd. only in hi range. it only happens when i am not accelerating. as it only happens in 3rd and 4th gear i cant get underneath at the same time as the ...

I bought my zook with firestones on them already. Had them 18 months and the guy before me had them about a year. still plenty of tread left. Not the best in the mud though, got caught out a couple of times i shouldn't have. but generally pretty happy with them

Yep, that is exactley the way i want to do it. I would much rather be part of the process to Learn how it's done.

Anyone in sydney wanna help please let me know. I'm more then happy to throw a carton of cans and some dollars if anyones intersted.

Cheers

Martin

no, i thought you could also get the rear ones, WITH the associated costs. I didn't realise they were only selling the front ones.
