Outer Limits 4x4 Board

yeah true, was never setup right out of pure lazyness
oh well, we learn from mistakes ...

but god damm did it fly

Mine also went after 16,000kms after a reco, no special rebuild just standard.
Might of been the boost i was running

This time will get built up for the boost me thinks

guard cut??? wtf for???? put in a 3" bodylift, 2" lift springs & get the right offset, might happen to clear 36's :D

Who keeps digging up old threads :lol: :lol: :lol:

These days i'd do the opposite to what i said, now its Guard cut, spring lift & minimal bodylift :lol: How things change...

I'm quite happy driving up Falls Creek, Mt buller & baw baw roads in the patrol (35" simexs) without chains, but wouldn't head up Hotham without them, there are some pretty steep hills & even 4wd won't help ya from sliding of the massive drop if the ice got real bad

If you really want to stick with the Mq, get yourself a 5speed turbo diesel box & the 4.6 diff gears out of the petrol L29 patrol.
Is the easiest way to get low gearing using stock parts

As for gq diffs under the mq, Can you do the fabrication work yourself? If so then go for it, if not sell it ...

if you can afford it, wouldn't be a bad move to replace both rear axle's whilst your at it

my drum has been widened in the hope to run 65-70m of 11mm, just have to buy more rope

I'm not sure if my navi likes running up hills
Does this mean i'll end up bitchin for my own car again????

Keen on doing this thou! Last years was good

i got a price of $330 for a 35 x 12.5 x 15 from tyres plus in glen waverley seems pretty good

At the 4wd show ARB usual get rid of them for about a grand from memory

Roof up & wheels down, thats the plan for next year
Will be in again

its all in the prep work, my ute has great paint but underneith must not of been prepared properly because its starting to bubble in a few spots & the paint would only be 14months old :shock:

So consider what your using it for first b4 spending big bucks

Anywhere around $500 for a comp truck ...

IN my shorty time of having the GQ (1 year now) i've gone from drop boxes which were too big to now having castor bushes, & now will be going back to drop boxes or maybe drop arms, the way the car handled with drop boxes was awesome

Andrew

if i didn't have to work, i'd so be there for this!!

Thats awesome!!! similar to what i'm thinking of doing next year sometime

Its your motor!

I must say i did test drive a naturally aspirated diesel Gq when i was looking at them & it went quite well

But if all else fails, sell the Mq & put the money towards a turbo kit for the gq

yea saw that, but cant be much of a rebuild for that price.

Thats what i got, it doesn't include pump, injectors etc so thats extra

Done about 7'000km's so far & very happy so i say go for it!!!

I'm headin up, Can't wait to be bouncing off trees

Rebuild time, Try East coast 4wd in NSW, got my motor off them & is the goods so far
Cheers

Sounds like you might be better off with a mechanical support which is adjustable in height vs the rams which will be costly.
Maybe speak to a caravan manufacturer & see what they have to offer

Yeah I thought that was the case.......

At the end of the day the amount of clearance under the guards is huge if you are prepare to fire up the 4in grinder...

The bigger the tyre with the least amount of lift = stable car.

I had 1in springs and 2in body and ran a 35in tyre without taking the ...

From memory you could run a 33in tyre on an MK with stock suspension.......
You can actually run 36" (Q78's) Swampers on an MK with 2" body & guard cut ;)

I do all most all of the navruns etc, ie pajero challenge, pursuit

And yes i use the gps for conversions & pinpointing but for navigation between points & planning your course, nothing beats a good old map!!! So don't worry about spending big bucks on one unless you've got it to spend, The simplest ...

oh well, AXT are good but are only really cheapest for their turbo's.If its garrett go MTQ in dandy or Eastern Turbochargers

Cheers
Andrew

With any luck i'll be there, seems to be the event to be at!!!!

Your right. The competitors need to make a stand. but at the time they're all too focused on racing . Safety should be paramount and some striped bunting just doesn't cut it. Agree 100% and yes I am guilty of this myself :oops: Makes you SOOOOOOOOO tunnel visioned.

I agree, i don't even look at ...
