Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all,

Looking at giving my old SWB 90 model Patol a new lease on life. Its unregistered atm and needs some work including new suspension including springs, shocks, bushes, etc etc.

Have looked at a whole heap of brands and all 50mm lifts, including:

Superior Engineering, TJM, Old Man Emu (ARB ...

Cheers for the advice!

It is pretty unclear.

ADR 38 - which is national - states that the trailer brakes need to be adjustable and operable from the drivers seat - I interpret this as a control must be in cab.

A company by the name of sureweld advertises trailer options for their equipment ...

Hi all,

After some advice on trailer brakes in QLD. I'm in the market for a camper trailer and some of the models we're looking at exceed 750kg GVM which triggers the requirement for trailer brakes. All trailers above 750kg GVM i've looked at require an in car controller. My catch is I have a work ...

Hi all,

I've got an old GQ patrol 1990 model thats been sitting about for awhile. The brakes barely pull it up, and being four wheel disc this probably souldn't be.

I'm guessing the calipers are seized so I'm wondering how much it might cost to get fixed?

Also, is it relatively easy to do ...

Yep - MT90 is the oil for manual transmissions - great stuff i reckon. But it is dear, and that was a few years ago.

Cheers

I didn't know there were different types of the MT90. It has been in there for a couple of years now and it has improved the shifting for sure.

Put Redline MT90 in gearbox and transfer years ago. It is dear but have never had a problem since!

G'day all,

Might have an opportunity at a cheap 95/96 sierra two door softtop.

Apparently the wiper motor is dead and needs replacing. Apparently the owner was quoted $1k as the dash needs to be removed/replaced to do the job. Is this correct? If so, how hard it it? Surely a suk is that simple ...

I'm lucky enough to find myself in the position of having to choose between these two supplied by work. WHich would you choose mostly for sand, touriing and easy bush work.

I've already discounted the navara D40 as the ones i've seen plough their way through sand and the colorado as it feels ...

Cheers for the replys!!

$2k was fitted - drive in drive out basis ... and i have to admit I'm a little attached to the thing so I think i'll be keeping it !!!!

G'day... it's been awhile since my last post so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I've got a 90 model mav xlt swb with the 4.2 pet (with 265 thou kms). Its been sitting idle for about four years as I've had the luxury of a company 4x4. Its lucky to have driven 2000km's in th last four years when ...

mines a tb42 carby as well and when i got it replaced the thermostat with a geniune nissan, runs on halfway or little less, sounds about right....

Mine did the same.... leaked at the bottom of the screen in both corners.... bought non-geniune rubber from windscreens obrien, some non setting silastic and no leaking since

Mine has suffered the same thing although it seems like it has 'sealed' itself.... i went to nissan and apparently it is a cover which in the arab versions is the mount for an oil cooler.... they also told me that there should be welsh plugs behind them that stop the leaking.... gaskets are ...

After finally mounting the bull bar i've had sitting around for ages... i can also install the antennas for both my am and uhf two ways. Just wondering whether there is a minimum distance i should keep between the antennas to ensure their best performance????


ANy other tips would be good too ...

Pretty sure the tacho relies on a wire running of the coil (pretty sure its one of the blue wires)...... runs straight to tacho.

being a real truck and not a toyota......... a franna crane.... their bloody heavy

'Wind up' is the result when both diffs are locked by the transfer case and the different axles etc spin at a different rate. There is no 'give' or slipping in the transfer case and hence wind up. This happens when the front and rear diffs travel different distances and this can result when tyres ...
