Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks Kingy, I think ? ! ?

Sounds like I'll be up for making 2 new driveshafts if done this way ?

My current drivetrain is sd33 and 4 speed I intend to use the 5 speed gearbox with the 4 speed mounts and driveshafts, therefore pushing the whole lot forward I don't see eninge mounts as a problem yet as i'll just fabricate them as needed My burning question is in regard to the new proposed positio...

In the next few months I'm planning on fitting into my MQ swb I've been collecting my bits for some time now I have myself a healthy 308, a dellow adaptor ( about 50mm thick ) and also managed to score a 5 speed and transfer from mq wagon My question is in regards to fitting the 5 speed gearbox into...

I've been running a LOCKRIGHT in my rear diff now for almost 9 years and also in the front for 7 years. Mine is a swb mq and I've never broken anything during offroad use in all that time and I'm running 33" bfg m/t. My only gripe when I first put it in the rear was that it made the rear end a ...

IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I REBUILT MINE, BUT GOT ALL THE BEARINGS AND SEALS I NEEDED FROM LOCAL "SKF BEARINGS".
TURNED OUT TO BE A FRACTION OF GENUINE COST.
FRONT SEAL 40 X 75 X 8 TC, ABOUT $10
REAR COVER SEAL 50 X 72 X 12 TC, ABOUT $6

Thanks neRok, you make it all sound sooo easy. Mind you, I did go back and re-read some of it 3 times. I guess I agree..... WTF, do it properly, do it once. I will be keeping my 2nd battery though (only 6 months old) but as a duel battery setup. I have actually been running a 3rd battery up till now...

ANY ONE GOT ANY PICS OF HOLDEN OVERLANDERS
I'VE BEEN TELLING MY SON ALL ABOUT THEM, BUT HAVING TROUBLE
FINDING ANY DECENT PICS OR INFO.

I SUPPOSE I HAVE A FEW OPTIONS NOW. THE MAIN THOUGHT WITH STAYING WITH 24 VOLT WAS PROBABLY THE CONVIENIENCE OF NOT HAVING TO CHANGE ALL THE HEATER MOTOR, WIPER/WASHER MOTORS, AND ALL BULBS. PLUS THE 24 VOLT EXTRAS I'VE ADDED OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. BUT I NOW REALISE THAT THERE IS A LOT...

I HAD SIMILAR HASSLES ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO. AFTER MARKET ONES LASTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND I STARTED LOOKING FOR OTHER OPTIONS. I ENDED UP USING SOME S/HAND VL COMMODORE 6 CYL ENGINE MOUNTS WTH A LITTLE BIT OF MODIFYING. THEY ARE SAME THICKNESS BUT A LOT MORE CHUNKY. LOTS OF OFFROAD USE AND STILL GOING 8 ...

WHAT ABOUT KEEPING THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE STANDARD ELECTRICS IN 24 VOLT AND JUST RUNNING THE ENGINE STARTER MOTOR AND COIL IN 12 VOLT.? HAS ANYONE DONE THIS ? OR DOES IT CREATE PROBLEMS IN OTHER AREAS.?

I'M PLANNING ON PUTTING A 308 INTO A 1982 DIESEL MQ PATROL. i'VE GOT MYSELF AN ADAPTOR TO GO BETWEEN DONOR MOTOR AND MQ 4 SPEED GEARBOX, AND I EXPECT THAT ENGINE MOUNTS WONT CREATE TOO MANY HASSLES. MY CONCERN IS THE ELECTRICS.... BECAUSE THE 308 IS REQUIRING 12 VOLT FEED AND VEHICLE IS SET UP FOR 2...
