Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I thought you would enjoy that....

Damn I knew i should have taken the pic from the other side...

If you look again there's dust on the back tyres. Given the stock 4.2 P has so much grunt, it did a wheel stand to get to that spot. Then given the fuel consumption it run out petrol about then too.

does it go offroad?? Do you see bitumen under those tyres? Well do ya BB?

Oh yeah, I even drove it up the gutter twice.. LOL.

Yup got my rear bar from here too for $350. Bling bling..

Piss off that family man lift, go for a 100mm or better still go for a 5" lift like mine.

Try getting your tailshafts balanced (on the car). Cost is about $100 each.

My SWB has 5" Lift running 36 'pedes and 3 degrees offset caster bushes, no vibrations at all standard control arms rear and standard panhards, (still waiting for the adjustables to arrive).

Yes it was there Fishhead it had gold rims on it.

Hey fish-neck did you do anything on this truck?

Not that anyone is counting but there's 2 washers missing.

Body lift in the auto is no hassle as it's an electronic selector. worst case you might have to lengthen the wires, I doubt it though for a 50mm body lift.

yep sorry my mistake one too many ales will do that to me.

you can buy the Nissan coil spacers for the rear in 15mm and 30mm sizes only. very easy to fit about a 20 min job. All you need is a jack, and 12mm, or 14mm spanner and 17mm or 19mm spanner depending on which model Nissan you have.

GU 2.8 in theory was good, in reallity that's another story 300kg heavier than the GQ I must admit I have never driven a GU 2.8 but I reckon it'd be on par with a GU 4.2 D.

Mild steel extractors will set you back around $435-490 mark, pipe size either 2 1/4 or 2 1/2. Personally I'd go the 2 1/2 pipe with a matched muffler. Sports mufflers come in many sizes most common is 2-3 inch. Prices will vary from dealer to dealer whole lot should be around $6-700 for a 2 1/2 ...

I had a GQ 97 RX 2.8TD it was a great truck ran it with 33's no probs. never missed a beat. I'm still kicking myself for selling it. The best why to decide is drive one. I test drove a GQ 4.2D it was yawn S L O W. I bought the GQ2.8TD. A few years down the track, I test drove a GU 4.2TD. I then test ...

Roly well done now that's more like it.

Are you keeping the standard rims? Why not go for 315/75/16's in MTR's.

Why don't you just buy 4" lifted coils?

G'Day Roly, Where's the list of mods for the new truck?

Andrew

The pict was taken somewhere else (don't know where) but it's located in Brighton.

Andrew.

Thanks Tweety, Any info is helpful. It's in a caryard in Melb. looks like it has 32's BFGs as far as i can tell it's pretty stock apart from the engine and auto. Have attached a pict.

Hi All, I'm interested in a jeep CJ7 1979 model I have seen, it's fitted with a Ford 351 and auto running straight gas.

What should I be looking for in the way of problems with driveline, body, rust, anything else. I have never owned a Jeep before.

Thanks in advance.

Andrew

I should change my profile shouldn't I. I live in Bundoora, Melbourne.

Thanks guys that's a good start I have re-measured the door opening and I've got 2070mm to play with.

I hope to buy a 40 with a V8 already fitted are there any major pitfalls to be aware of?

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi All, I'm after some info regarding 40 series Cruisers. I want to start a project on a 40 series preferably a 45 or 47 tray or a SWB 40 or 42 with a V8 fitted. Information I’m after is what to look out for when buying besides rust. Also I’m keen to know what the overall height of the truck is once ...
