Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey mate, You are right, there is a lot of bad talk about these shocks but thats because of poor fitments and wong size shockes being fitted with lift kits, causing then to smash the ends out of them. Set ya truck up right with propper bump stops and and the right length shock and you will be fine ...

im having issues with finding a suitable rear shock for my gq patrol. im running super flexy coils and 36inch rear pro comps, i been looking at boss 4x4 shocks, i have heard sum bad rap about these shocks and am alittle worried, but ive also heard that new owners and fixing the issues and trying fix ...

4.6 ratios.

Been able to lock the stall converter in first gear is not going to improve your performance, in fact you want the stall converter to be loose if you're looking to improve take off and powering up hills. I'd get the stall converter modified to take up around 1800rpm and a shift kit to sharpen up ...

i got a gq patrol with 4spd auto. well looked after gearbox no issues with it at all, but looking to improve it now that im running big tyres its alittle sluggish, looking to increase take off in it like when going up hills or just general driving before i just go spend money go turbo or v8 ...

got balanced perfect and all.
alittle better not much tho, been told just how creepys are they get better as they age lol.
i put my old tires on to check if was somethings else was fine without 37's on.

hey bud i just had same problem once i looked into it it seems to be my panhard rod bushes are shot again worth a look for your piece of mind This is a common cause on the trols. Bigger tyres exagerate most issues which were ok with smaller tyres. check for play in: King pin bearings - jack wheel ...

just check the panhard bushes.. zero movement, both ends look pretty good still.

mite be just need wheel aligment with the 37's on hmm.?

it mite had a wheel aligment with the 31's on it, would it be different once 37's are on?

i fitted my 37inch creepys on to my gq patrol now i get a big shake through the steering wheel starting at about 60k's and up to around 80k's.

the tyres were balanced when i bought them the shop, they are brand new, i had sum 31 stockos that cruising around on never had any issues, whats the go??

i dont do any towing at all. its just a weekend 4wder. i got 4.6's to go with the 37's. will i need the extra cooler or not?

the efi gq autos have a tranmission cooler built into the radiator. This makes the radiator much dearer to purchase..... If you have a look under neath you will see the lines coming from your auto to either end of your radiator. I have fitted a second pwr external cooler in series to the radiator ...

I don't know if they even have a standard one do they. My mates 4.2 diesel thought he had one but it was an engine oil cooler. Bit weird! I think its worth the money to upgrade or fit one if it doesn't already have one. It will help to keep your auto running strong. hmm interesting, not sure ay. im ...

i got a 4.2 efi petrol gq that is auto,

ive been running the standard i think transcooler, now ive upgrade to 4.6diff gears and 37inch tyres, should i get myself a larger transcooler for it or will that just be waste of money?

the gearbox is running strong no issues as yet..

i couldnt fault on bighorns either, 35's on 10inch rims did anything claws, mtz, simexs did, so cheap also..
must say the km2 looks horn tho.

cant see how the creepys would wear well on the road. my bulge in the middle so could see the middle wearing down before the rest of the tyre. and they are noisy as all how. definetly not a road tyre from what ive read you mite need lower ur pressures? but sounds like for daily use ur doomed have ...

Expect around 25,000klm.

i dont think my patrol see's 25,000klm in a year, cheers

Iv run Boggers in 38.5x12 and loved them but the best thing i did was get rid of them.... :lol: we have also ran both 37x12 and 37x14 creepys and the wider ones are much better but both are shit.... in my appoin anyway :finger: , if you want a good alround tyre for trails and mud go the 37 IROC ...

mite spend extra few hundred and get the creepies then.

how bad they on road wear in all seriousness?

SIM79 wrote:Whats your main terrain? One tyre is designed for mud the other for rock.

no main terrain, what ever the track is i drive it, i just worried about hearing the creepys lack in the mud, so the tsl bogger isnt a all rounder just mud terrain?

im interested in purchasing tsl boggers or creepy crawlers for my gq patrol.

what is everyone opinion on them, going be running 37's

im not using them as a daily just to and from tracks, how do they wear and stack up with the rest.

bit off topic but im hunting for sum tires

looking for 4 x bias, minium 80% all on rims, 37inch tires, on 15's.

mite be interested in 36inch simex on 15's also.

pm me thanks.

still chasing info thanks.. 4.3 or 4.6 for petrol auto gq patrol.. going be running 37s .

i got a 4.2 petrol, AUTO gq patrol

what diff gears should i change to, running 35's atm but on market for 37s, being a petrol and auto not sure what to change to.

soo going have spend fair bit money, got quoted 11g for it be turboed and tuned, no rebuild. how cheap can i do this. ?

i cant find the info i want on the site so.. i got a factory 4.2 efi engine i want put a turbo onto it, sum like t3/t4. im going be leaving it fuel injected at the moment so my question is do i need run a computer? or is there ways around it like running malpassi fuel pressure regulator, will i need ...

i got a factory 4.2 efi with low k's

my question is how hard it turbo the 4.2 engine how much will i be looking at? or do i just convert to a diesel?

who has used super flexy coils and who recommends them?

cant make my mind up to try them or just buy standard 6inch dobinison coils.

all info would be great.

I think you mite have same problem as my friends d40, its a injector problem, might need a new injector rail for it. should come under warranty.

i got 5inch spring, 2 inch body. for a 5inch lift my patrol doesnt flex as good as some other patrol going around with simplier specs. i thinking going new 6inch springs or maybe getting new 5inch coils. if i got 6inch springs will i need change my dropboxes? im not very in 4wding things but i enjoy ...
