Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My 3litre was also rebuilt under warranty mines a 2000. Goes alright its gets driven hard and so far holds up mint. I knew all the issues when buying it but know of several early ones going well over 300,000 trouble free.

ahh the faded green brings back memories of my childhood.

I just bought a 3 litre, its already been rebuilt though. I needed the fuel economy of the diesel and im pretty happy with the car overall even on 35s.

Just spoke to ryano there definitely is a reason why they call him the GOD, will be getting them through him for sure. :armsup:

Can not believe the price difference of the locals shops up here :bad-words:

My mate owned a tyre joint and was a huge dealer for maxxis and it was still 200 bux ...

thanks for the replies guys.

reason i want it to be a 4wd, is so i can use to to go bush and replace my POS hilux..
looks like i'll get a patrol or landcruise 4.2 TD ute.

and to those wondering what i will be towing...

What are you going todo with it, has it done anything but get built an alot of fault finding? If you are the magic number who sorts it out where to from there?

The fan is under the glove box so couldnt be anything that can't be persuaded to move a little i reckon

You cant beat 2 inches of space in the firewall and keep the aircon? What part is back there or are you talking about the heater core?

Notch the firewall, surely be less work it wouldnt hit by much. Even massage it with the hammer.

Holy shit that was quick, says its no longer for sale must of really liked it.

Whats the difference between that and just a freestanding large tent. Whats the advantage of having it hanging off the car so you can't drive anywhere while it's setup?

No performance gains whatsoever. Just a noise thing.

There cheap crap made in china. Take it back on a warranty claim keep up the pressure and you will get your money back because there all the same.

l76 is the ls2 it doesnt have the DOD shit.

seeing wat happens to my mates ute wen he got rear ended it was completelt stuffed yer might say there are loads at wreckers but most of them are a bunch of rip offs up here in townsville

and you'd have to make sure that chassis isn't bent n twisted a second hand chassis compared to 3 8metre ...

Looks tip top in that pic. Leave it alone cos rattle cans will make it even worse. Especially black, its not a good colour to go cheap on. Dont prime just scuff back the paint and paint it yellow again with solid 2k. Won't need clear over base an itll will come up trumps for little money and effort.

So are you talking the arch on an un laiden leaf or when it has load. The more arch the less droop, it isn't rocket science.

So your saying the more arch in your spring the more it drops?

I think your confusing yourself mate.

Unique Exhaust in Boronia, he listens to what you want, gets it up on the hoist and will run though it with you. Did my Hilux exhuast last year exactly as i wanted could not recomend them highly enough. Very well priced

Cheers ludacris. It's what i had my mind set on, finding one in victoria is another story. Didnt realise there were so many leaf rear models.

Production class is stock body, stock engine, 4 inch sus lift and 35inch tyres. The basics anyway, with your 6 point cage being mandatory throughout. Challenge is open for custom's but other people have deeper pockets than i do so not going there yet.

Just put one on my mate's xr8 ute. Besides there bolt kit being a bit tricky the quality is fine.

I really need to keep a happy medium, I want the turbo diesel for touring duties and i want the factory ute for less panels and the usability camping and social wheeling. That is my argument to the missus to race anyway. So far she's on board haha

Well in production class i wont be comminting to much of the car to race only mods so regardless i'd still buy it, Jeep is no good to me as i want a tray to minimise panels to smash.

I was contemplating racing the GQ next season in production class. Cheap to start with but due to limited mods its going to get beat up as a wagon, it's petrol carby so it's no power house.

Next plan is GU coil cab, Factory ute, 4.2 diesel can make good HP within guideline's, GU diffs and steering ...

Ryano from fourbys is selling 37x12.5 R16 Maxxis for $398ea.

Ryano has the best prices hands down, even posted to melbourne he beat the price by over $130 a tyre.

How far back are crumple zone's on a full chassis vehicle? Surely there all at the front after the chassis ends. There not going to crumple up to the firewall as per most 5 star car's are designed. Does this engineer know what a GU is?

Any gas fitter can test an stamp tanks if you don't want to remove it yourself. Why wouldn't you just call them first instead of waste time making a thread you could of had your answer?
