Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a 50ltr Waeco for a fridge and a 35ltr Waeco for my freezer on long trips more economical than the 80 or 110 ltr waeco's power wise Had no problems with either.

I would realy look at diesel powered, as the fuel consumption is outragous in any petrol vehicle that weighs nearly 3t. I had a 4.5l petrol and a 4.2l petrol 'cruiaer and troll now I have been converted to a diesel one and wont go back. Plus parts are plentiful where as if it isn't the engine from t...

No I belive they only came out in the 4.2l petrol or diesel other than that not much, Maverick is equal to ST in Patrol elec windows ect.

I would highly recomend the Patrol/Maverick for comfort and plus you will get more "Bang for your buck" cruisers are fine but expensive.
Hilux and 4runners are not as comfortable and less power as either of the above choices.
just my 2c

I have a standar Nissan steel winch bar with a TJM OX 10000lbs winch bolted directly onto the bar as most steel bars don't require a cradle.
The only mods you need to do are the drain hole and turn the clutch around on the winch it self, I hope this helps.

If you are going to use LED's to replace the bulb you will get better light from white LED's as the coloured one loose intensity throught the coloured lens. I have asked the boys at OzLED and this is the advice they gave me.

QLD law states that anything fitted to the vehicle be it factory or aftermarket MUST be in working order to comply with the state laws. when I find the act I will post the link.
So this means the front diff must have the driveshaft attached.

I'd say a Vitara too (medium sized), cheap and easy to mod plus coils all round so comfortable for you the missus and soon to be bub.

If you want something bigger go a Patrol or "cruiser with coils, you cant go past coils for comfort or flex.

The crystal blue covers are not Illegal as they shine a white light, but the dark blue are illegal as they shine a blue light.

I don't think it will work as they are designed to stop the body work from being touched, I also don't think you can weld spring steel. My 2c.

Have you ever hit an owl before? the Ba$tard boke the windscreen too.

I have run both lights and I have distroyed the roo lights (220's) when a bird hit them, the light force (XGT's & 240 Blitz's) have taken a few direct hit from birds and other small wild life and survived!

Because roo lights are cheap immatations and just plain $#i7

Was just in the local auto shop and was looking at the roo lite 220xp and the lightforce lights. Dont know what to choose. whether it be roolite 220xp, lightforce blitz 240, or the 240 xgt. They xgts were priced at 515 each, ? $515 Each???? http://mrspotlights.com/index.php?main_page=index&manu...

The only thing I can think of to shim would be your king pins? for wheel alignment. Don't know about your seal though.

Yeah you can get a 75l sub tank Not sure where from but know they are out there.

They are chopped I am in the middle of building my rear bar.

Just make sure it is air bag compatible as some ute ones are not!

Some extra pics! http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/gueey/P6280065.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/gueey/P7130077.jpg Thats all well and good if you intend on chopping you guards but some people like to keep thier car original, but as you say great departure angles, except for you ...

Could try this link to the Patrol forum
http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/showthre ... u+rear+bar

I suggest you put them on the front grill area as if they are on the roof hooked into your headlights high beam you can get done if they are not covered until you go off road!

Is this it? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GQ-PATROL-FORD-MAVERICK-SWB-35-SIMEX_W0QQitemZ230359485463QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item35a27ecc17&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 what about this ? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1988-Nissan-Patrol-GQ-4-2-SWB-auto...

You would be much better off going to a suspension specialist to get the right set up for your rig.

Make sure the bar is airbag compatible if you wagon has airbags(insurance purposes), as some ute bars are not airbag compatible.

I'd go front & rear bars and sliders when you can afford it then maybe a winch it will get you out of more sh#@ than lockers they will just sink it. IMHO.

Has it been under water?
If not I would start by trying your combo switch.

If you have put higher wattage bulbs that could also do this.

Could also be ifs off-set which is worse than leaf hilux

I have put a series IV bar on my series I there are a few gaps but if you are not after a perfect fit (can put up with little gaps) it should fit see pics Ther is a rubber strip for both sides I have not added you could also upgrade your grill to take up the gap in the middle http://i723.photobucket...
