Outer Limits 4x4 Board

picked up a set of the km2's yesterday after a very dissapointing run with the mtz's. aaa tyres in guildford sydney can do awsum prices on these tyres. call them for a quote you will be pleasently surprised.

im preety sure they put a gu ute cab on gq shorty chassis. navara ute tub cut and shut to fit. looked shit hot.

def due to spline etension. lots of regular greasing will cover up the problem not fix it. dont do tailshaft spacer as this will only make ur uni angle worse not fix the prob. longer lower arms and double cardens dont mix.only use longer lowers with standard shaft

just been through this..ended up being almost dead alternator. got mine recoed all good now.

thanks for that mate. do u remember what it was worth? cheers

anyone know anyone that supplies aternators for a 1990 gq td42 in parra/ western sydney? mines not giving enough charge to the battery. also can u get them with bigger outputs? ive got the vac pump hanging off mine. cheers

thats what i was thinking.....?

no extra blue cable on mine... just got it all tested out and found that the hella style plug worked fine but the standard type ciggie plug side of the waeco box was stuffed, couldnt handle the voltage to run the fridge when set to constant power. waeco will change it on warrenty but i have a sneaky ...

its all in a sealed box arrangment that has some kind of curcuitry inside that differentiates between voltage levels im guessing. constant power setting will draw straight from battery regardless of voltage and the vehicle on only setting is designed to only be switched on when voltage gets above a ...

hey i have installed one of these waeco raps power supply thingys to power my fridge in the back of the gq longy. its the one that hard wires to the battery with a fused 6mm cable and has two outlets. u can chose to power the fridge with constantly or only when the vehicle is running. my problem is ...

these work. used one to cool the auto fluid on my old shorty. very effective

thunder and blackmav cheers heaps. to the others thanks for wasting ur time. and mine. and yes i bought 33s today so i wanted to know before close of trade.

thanks for ur real world feed back turps. anyone else got something to offer? as for the search function im asking particular questions bout a particular tyre and want answers from people who have done what im proposing. i aint got hours to trawl through 5000 pages of not relevent information. if u ...

what does everybody think of the mickey thompson mtz's on a gq patrol lwb? after some real world feedback. how long do they last how do they drive noise levels etc. found a place selling at a good price so wondering if they are as good as they say they are. also as i only got 2 lift in the (new ...

off topic..but,

why the big knife in passenger door pocket jtop? i got the same one. is it the long one or the shorter one u got?

buy a adjustable drag link that will allow u to lengthen it. usually the after market guys make these bomb proof too as they are commonly bent when u thrash ur truck. win win. adjusting steering wheel will work but i think it reduces steering lock a bit in one direction but only a little bit. i done ...

37's, auto, 4.3 diffs OHG straight gas set up with 2 85l usable tanks in my shorty. one in one under. 5 inch coils, 2 inch body lift, custom bar work.
gettin bout 550ks outta the 2 tanks around town witha very heavy foot. on a highway drive i get around 700ks.

thanks for your reply pgs always like reading ur comments. contemplating doin it because i want a gu and one has popped up that i can get for peanuts but its tb45 where i want diesel. i have the 91 gq td42 factory auto sittin in the yard and i just thinking if its feasible.

hey there. has any one done the above conversion? looking at removing the tb45 and manual gearbox and running a td42 and auto from a 91 gq high roof. main queries are with the wiring. do i need a diesel loom or can i cut and shut what exists and make suit? i know the auto wil need its computer ...

u should only need the balance pipe if ur snorkle head faces forward. facing backwards like u said it shouldnt make any difference to the running.

not even a desicion buddy..drob boxes all the way. would never use anything else for castor corrrection

tb 42 petty auto 37 mtr's no reduction gears 4.3 diff gears. does everything fine but would like some reduction gears.. drives great on road with 4.3s can tend to run away in low range but just drive accordingly

every ford badge is just glued or clipped on. all mine are gone too.

mtr's

clutches will be a issue with the new navara. ours lasted 65,000 and nissan wyong said that was normal. they have like zero torque down low off boost so u have to give them a hard time when manouvering etc. my cousin has the new d40 and i sometimes tow my 4.6m alloy quintrex around with it. once up ...

the grinding aint from ur unis.. its from the spline. with the bigger lift ur shaft will be stretched longer thru the slip joint meaning les bearing between the two ends of the shaft. this introduces a wobble in the shaft. amplified by the age gq's are getting to these days.. temp fix, use a high ...

my tb42 head cracked at 325,000 ks. ripped head off found cracks in 5 and 6 and gasket round 6 was gone too. bought a new head casting, had it shaved and a bit of a clean up, new firmer springs with a hi flow water pump. had a air bleed kit fitted to cooling system. all up 3000 but now my shorty ...

rick what i done with me head was purchased a bare new casting from all heads in melbourn which use a genuine nissan casting then do a air bleed kit to fully rmove air from the cooling system and ensure coolant gets through out the whole engine. this was then shipped to all cylinder head services in ...

i dare say thats what i will have to do... they are pretty shot. 5inch susp + 2 inch body and 37s wont make up for bad wheel placement...

by after market u mean the replacement section? i can chop out damage and weld in new section? i have a template for the checker plate from patrolden on here. could be a possibility
