Outer Limits 4x4 Board

the 79 series springs are miles too long in eye to eye length (so are the rear springs from the mq/mk patrols), and have the same spring eye width issue as the 75 series springs
i bought another g60 ute a few weeks back now, its had a disk brake conversion done to it on the standard g60 c216 front ...

got a second hand set of rear 75 series cruiser springs and measured them, all measurements are spot on except width of the spring eyes with bushes. 3 options. you will require either cruiser shackles with spacer shims in the upper bolt to take out play- but im not sure if the shackle bolts will ...

2 inch lifted springs listed for the mq patrol for the fronts. i hear tell that the 2inch lifted rear springs from a hilux (early series- not sure about IFS ones) will fit nicely too for the rears (catalog part numbers put the eye to eye length as being + - 20mm, only uncertainty is the location of ...

i swapped all the running gear in my 76 ute to mq running gear. the build thread is on the rocky mountain and off road forum (mods if were not allowed to mention other forums feel free to delete this)
my best mate has a similar ute with a 308 in it. the whole lot really did need mounting about 8 ...

my sisters terrano has a kickdown cable linkage, had to adjust it before, bit of a tweek was all it needed and was back to normal

cheers

i have a set of 235/75r15 cooper st's. ill sum up my thoughts on them briefly.
i dont have them on any going cars atm, theyre just holding up one of my parts cars.
the good: they grip like 40 bastards, at least as well as the bfg muds i had before them, good lateral grip and stability on slopes, one ...

thanks for the ideas, i pulled the lot apart and there is nothing out of place, i still suspect ball joints and will replace them soon as i can. she does have shims but they pull the control arm in as you add more- making the prob worse. i have corrected the wheels alignment to within 3-5 mm, but to ...

jacking the tires to 28psi could be worth a try, this is what a mate runs in his zook after a bit of mucking around and probs with tire wear, not sure what sort of wear though

cheers

ok guys, iv got a 94 mj triton (l200), done little over 400 k km, i am gradually fixing it all up and the most recent work was to re index the torsion bars and wind them up to correct how they have sagged with age and use. when i did this i also got new tires- just 31's- and got a wheel alignment ...

had a set of 265/75 r16, they were the most useless tires i have ever had, 2 of them wore twice as fast as the other 2 and needed balancing regularly and by the time i retired them (bfg muddies) they had enough plugs in them to outnumber the tread blocks (almost). i could count on getting at least ...

got 408 890 on mine atm, all original, regulars (ish) services and a keen ear for probs has kept it in line so far. she is getting tired now though. not sure if i want to put in a bigger donk (3.8 commie) or just rebuild her. work it out when she dies

cheers
