Outer Limits 4x4 Board

4.88 ratios arent they in the MQ/MK range ???
4.88 are a standard fitment in the utes
But only for the H260 style diff

IF its for road registration
Go consult an engineer as to whats required
When you know what you can do then go from there
The front 6 body mounts are all the same
Many do different styles to suit themselves
There is no right correct everyone does this answer
What do you want ???
Full styleside type ...

Best engine depends on what ya budget is
Now point looking at a gen 3 conversion IF ya only wanna spend 2 or 3 K

In QLD you can legally put a carb 350 chev in an MQ/MK on LPG
Theres ,in Perth, a small block chev (350 ???)with a turbo on it in an MQ/MK SWB

Low buck conversion SD33T, they came with ...

Its torque that spins tyres , not HP
114 Kw as mentioned would be on a stock motor
So wack extractors, bigger carb, bigger cam some head work, bigger pistons , blah blah blah
Any of the above will improve on the factory power output
A new XR6T will give an LS1 commodore a good run
Matter of fact ...

114 KW
Is not 4 times more than an L28
Theres no way a carb fed 308 pulls 4 times as hard as an L28
I wouldnt expect to get any better than 25L/100Ks from a carb fed 308 /4 speed MK (4 speed MK , strange ???) on 35s
The L28s even in factor spec were bloody shockin on fuel
IF ya want an economical ...

Yeah thanks for the REAL reason what this bottom sensor is for
When i got the rad i wasnt sure what it was for so would ya beleive i rang nissan and asked
And the wombats there didnt know ,and just said youll be right just leave it off

Eastcoast 4x4
They sell on the net
There are many others , depending on what make/model you have

I price these guys above first then hunt around for better prices
Brand new fan for the GQ $65 delivered to my door ,cant argue

Most that do the Xtra cab conversion use the rear wall,sill,floor section from the ute
An Xtra cab conversion is alot different to a dual cab chop
Many people do them different ways use different parts or make up parts as they go
There is no exact specific way to do it
Make sure you consult relevant ...

So the insurance company deemed it a write off
So the car is now the insurance companies and you get the cheque for its write off value
OR
Did you buy the wreck back from the insurance company

Another tip with the GQ petty radiators is make sure they have allowances for the bottom sensor (drivers side)
The new rad i bought for the GQ 9 months ago didnt have this and had to be modded to accept

Do a search , im sure its been a topic regarding comparing factory fan CFM of air, compared to thermo fan CFM of air
The factory fans push more than the thermos
If you have heating issues,i doubt goin to a lower CFM of air fan will fix the problem
When was your radiator last cleaned ???
Not with a ...

Either way youll have to drill new holes in the rad tanks,and move the hose necks
Leave the flow of the rad how it is,just move the necks to suit,then plug up the old holes

Would it not be easier to just get the TB42 rad tanks fitted to the core ???

As mentioned easy as
If it takes ya 1/2 an hour your drinking to much

Jump on evilbay they are everywhere ,they are the cheapest i found
As for Brand Names ???
There are throw away product what would it matter

MQ/MK L28 petrol LWB were all remote transfer by a tailshaft
Getting hard to come by,although can still be had for cheap

Wouldnt be a fuel block somewhere ???

Did your patrol have a remote tranny cooler before it shat itself ???
Most of the auto troubles are from running to hot
The tranny cooler does help in this instance
Why not get the auto rebuilt to suit your application,
Rather than sell at a loss and spent on someone elses trouble

Not sure with ...

Consult an engineer first
Do a google search , theres a few
There is a recent thread on this
Again a search will help

Issues with the "F"Trucks
Being a V8
QLD rego is around the 1K a year

A truck with more than 4.495T GVM
Has to have yearly inspections
2 tonne trucks (hinos,canters,isuzu whatever)
Rego is around the 1K a year also
Plus most are 24V diesels,+ others costs

$100 for 2nd hand hoses !!!!
A bloke in adelaide just paid $50 for complete power steering set up from u pull it wreckers
(He had to remove,wow coupla hours)
Best bet clean it all down ,try it with compressed air
Then look 4 the leak,or the drip

MQ/MK wagon rear windows were both solids and sliders
MQ/MK SWB are sliders
AND not interchangeable between LWB and SWB

You got bubbles
You got troubles

With your situation with the leasing prob
get the one from your list , that you are comfortable with as in driving comfort,economy ,power ect ect
With the odd weekend towing a load ,just go a bit slower
Whats really the issue ???
Towing the odd load or making the vehicle last

If you were towing ...

My GQ was overflowing into overflow bottle,
Got real bad towing 2.5t up steep hills
Everything else was working guage goin up and down ,all good

Talked to ALOT of different people regarding this and got alot of different answers
Young bloke said ,blocked radiator seemed it
Dropped the rad out , got ...

Breakaways are for loads over 2.5t ( i think)
Single axle breaks upto 2 tonne ,
4 wheels breaks upto 2.5t
These are trailer loads (including the trailer)
Nothin to do with the car wieght

Always overbreak the trailers
(as in the more/better breaks on the trailer the better)

Landdrover 2.4 turbo out ...

Firstly,
Good luck building a trailer of substance to do what u wish for around the 600 KG range
(Not saying it cant be done,but good luck)
Secondly,
I wouldnt touch any late model 1 tonne type ute to do what u need
3 tonne is alot of wieght to move especially up hills
I frequently pull similar ...

As said take the radiator to a radiator shop and get the thing rodded
About $100-$120
Dont EVER totally removed the thermostate it will run hotter
If the guage is goin up and down then the therostate is working
The temp should drop goin down hills (more air flowing thru radiator)

Im betting the ...

Purplebus,
That looks good
No disrespect,but little windows behind doors and a 1 piece drop down rear tailgate
Would have heads spinning

Only ever seen 1 Styleside extra cab
It was an overseas jobie
Ill checkout the one purplebus mentions and see what it looks like

Best bet would be to consult an engineer in your state
(priceless suggestion)
Theres alotta work in them , alot more than the wagon to ute chops

6" lift
How and with what ???
Body spring ???
If body lifted has it been approved ???

Theres a mob in brissie ,called "State Roads" they do vehicle inspections
If they are still around drop em a line
They can inspect it from a thorough mechanical to a thorough body,even check paint thickness
IF ...
