Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i'm looking at making up some protection for my MK in a few weeks time. just working out profiles at the moment.

i'll keep the templates and post pics when done.

by welding you heat affect the chassis. makes a weak point.

do you really want to do that to the main part that holds your car together ??

talk to an engineer. that way when your sliders brake off and rip the chassis rails apart you can blame him for the cost of a new car.

i would never sell ...

i'm with you BADMAV on those suggestions.

but since your only allowed 2 inches of lift in QLD if you have 3 inches of lift and have a crash then "TECHNICALLY" your car is unresistered. because it is outside of the laws of registeered vehicles.

I only have 2 inches of lift (and NRMA insurance ...

so does everyone in QLD who has a lift over 40mm not have any kind of insurance ??

is everyone running the risk of being done for an unresistered/un insured car ??

what happens if you hit a fezza and brake the guys legs. if your insurance is void how are you going to pay for his 400k car and all ...

maybe look at the maxxis 751 bravo

i have run them in a 31x10.5x15 and they were great. so much so that i went up a size 33x12.5x15 at $255 a tyre. the MT 4 ribs were $300 a tyre and the 5 were $310.

use them every day on road. playing at 4x4 parks. fraser and moreton. never had any problems ...

thanks for the help guys.

i'll pull the arms out this weekend and get some new bushes if need be.

they feel alright by wiggling a screwdriver in them but i guess it's a different story when it's all undone.

thanks
James

thanks guys.

i thought it may have been the shocks and springs so i replaced them. it went away but it's back in less than 12 months so i guess it's something else.

i'll order a set of new bushes and press them in and see how we go.

really got nothing to loose. it's even worse towing a trailer ...

i didn't post it there because it's not nissan specific.

more to do with anything that has a panhard rod and trailing arms in the rear.

sorry if that makes no sense. mods feel free to move if you think it's a nissan thing only.

thanks
James

Guys i have a 90 GQ patrol wagon.

nothing to flash. 2 inch lift and 33's (AT's) - still have front and rear swaybars. suspension is only 18 months old. lovell springs, dobson shocks.

i have a real problem that appears to be getting worse.

when cruising along the freeway at 110 if i lift off ...

no dimentions. it use to sit higher than the seat folded flat. but when you took the headrest off and sat it on the folded seat it was all flat. then made up some ...

Got a set of 33's

they are great. love mud, dirt, rock.

have had 1 puncture. tile straight through the tread block.

compared to a mates set of bighorns i can play in mud in 2wd and get further than him in 4wd.

love them.

will not buy again. to agressive for what i do with the car now.

will ...

if it's for a GQ you can fit a 30mm pipe between the standard offset rims with tyres and the wiper. if you get it in the right spot.

with a larger offset rim you get ore room

mine is tight with the 31's but heaps of room with the 33's.

update for those of us who are away for work ??
and pics !!!

i'm looking at doing the ford conversion at the end of the year.

how much power isn't enough ??

engine can be had for $2000 with loom and all the bits.
$1600 for head and cam and throttle body.
and BAM - 350hp !!

is that enough power ??

should cost about 5k and 2 weeks work.

worth doing ??

yeah brake fluid.

i had the same problem. drove me nuts. only around left hand turns.

brake fluid.
