Outer Limits 4x4 Board

SWB Patrol seems to be 2500kg braked with a max of 100kg downward on the ball?

Can anybody tell me the max braked towing limit for a 1990 Mav / GQ SWB and the downward weight on the ball limit as well if possible?

Thanks

Can someone tell me what year 4 Runners went from front leaf springs to IFS?

can anybody tell me who sells these tyres on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane?

I tried to have a look at thee Piranha site to see if they still sell the kit but it was down. Does anybody know if it is still available and if so the price?

Does anybody know where I could source a kit to convert my points ignition to electronic on my TB42

Maybe I can explain this another way as some seem to be missing the point. It does not matter what the modification is, the important issue as far as your liability goes is if you are in an accident and someone is killed and an expert crash investigater came to the conclusion that the reason for the ...

Mr bogged please don't take quotes out of context and statements such as bollocks just show ignorance rather than a reassoned arguement. Remember I said if the corenor found that the cuase of death was attributed to the modifactions done to the vehicle and that the said modification where illegal ...

Sorry but the RTA or even the state government cannot legislate to make a fedral law (which has to be passed by the sennate) invalid. If a federal law states that you can only increase a vehicles tyre size by x then you can only legaly increase it by x regardless of state legislation. This by no ...

Sorry I was not aware that Trent Lean had won the Outback Challenge driving a diesel, what year was that? And I didn't know that he had won an Australian Extreme Winch Challenge event driving a diesel either, just showing my ignorance I suppose. But it just shows that the exception proves the rule ...

The truck is not a daily driver, I only use it for fun on weekends and want to compete in the extreme winch challenge series next year. I don't think a diesel has ever won a round of the winch challenge or the outback challenge or rainforest challenge so I think that a petrol is established as the ...

What is the best option for a long range fuel tank for a SWB Petrol 1989 patrol? How many litres and ballpark dollars.

Does anybody know any tech on these winches

Does anybody know if the Thomas 800lb electric winches are any good? I have been given one that looks a few years old but in very good condition.

OK after looking into all the cost/reliability and suitability in doing all the above conversions etc I have decided to go with having the existing TB42 rebuilt and blueprinted, get it decompressed to 7.7:1 ish add a Garret T3/T4 Turbo and intercooler plus a 3" mandrel bent exhuast. Reason being to ...

Now looking into VH45 Twin Turbo from the guys down in ACT and also Melb nobody in QLD seems to have any experience in this conversion. Does anybody know if there is a bellhousing that will let you run the nissan 5 speed manual box instead of the uato from the donar vehicle? Maybe I will have a chat ...

Thanks, lokks like I am looking for a GQ LWB Auto Diesel in good condition in South East Queensland if anybody knows of one drop me a message.

I am looking for a Diesel LWB for a freind who tows a horse float and she was really after an auto. Did the GQ diesel come with an auto between 90 and 95? or will she have to get a petrol if she wants an auto? Thanks in advance.

I think I have ruled out the Gen III to many reliability isssues.

I would be real interested to see dyno numbers at the wheels for a Chev Gen III in a Nissan with 4.6 diff ratio and 35 inch rubber but I think I will be waiting until I do my own conversion. I want 220kw plus at the rears.

Gen III is probably less problems and cheaper I think not sure thought. I am going to do some more reaserch on the cost and compare the two. I will post my costings when completed. The Turbo TB42 would be nice to keep the truck all Nissan and that Yellow ute seems to be doing the business. The truck ...

Need more horsepower and am considering two options. Firstly pulling the TB42 and installing a Chev Gen III V8 secondly and my prefered option have the TB42 rebuilt, blueprinted, ported and polished, head decompressed to 7.7:1, garret T4 turbo and intercooler. Similar to the Yellow GQ ute doing so ...

Ozy1 your a champion!

How many body mounts are there on a SWB patrol ?

I am removing the centre dash panel on my 89 SWB Patrol to fit a new UHF and CD player. I have removed the 2 screws on the side of each side and the 2 in the ashtray but can't see what fixes the top to the dash and didn't want to pull to hard and break anything. Can anybody give me some advice on ...

Thanks for the info guys.

Does anybody have a contact number or email address for cheesy as I want to purchase a High Mount Tube Bar and Rock Sliders for my SWB Mav.

I am looking at getting the following done to my 4.2 petrol SWB Mav. Engine rebuilt to run on gas only, turbo, intercooler and 3" exhuast. Can anybody recomend a workshop on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane to do this work who has experience in both gas, turbo's and high performance engine rebuilds ...

I have a 1989 SWB Maverick Petrol Manual and was wondering what diff ratio it would have?

Thanks
