Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks guys, it's sounding like a good option. The rear seats would defo have to come out to make room for the fridge etc.

Anyone know if there is room in the engine bay for a second battery?

I don't know much about Zooks, so hoping to get some advice from zook owners. I'm thinking of getting a new Jimny Sierra. I want it as a DD and to get to campsites out in the bush. I'd fit a snorkel, decent tyres and maybe a 2" lift. What do people think of the latest JS? I see a lot of info on the ...

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I need to get a second opinion on it. Hopefully it's something simple like you guys suggest. Yankee Dave, yeah they were genuine panhard bushes Slug, I don't know how to check the pre load, but I'll find somebody who does. Mick, I'm already running off set bushes ...

So I've got this shimmy problem which is slowly getting worse. My mechanic has replaced panhard bushes, fitted a RTC steering damper and done a weel alignment and balance and it's done sweet FA towards fixing the issue. The last thing he told me was I should fit dropped radius arms (I have a 3" lift ...

I have a 40L Engel, can't fault it so far. But it's had a pretty easy life so far too!

I changed mine over to manual. The auto hubs seem to have a mind of their own.

265/75R16 MTRs

Nic

Yeah you are right actually and 265/75R16 is close to 32" give or take. So I guess I mean 32's really.

Thanks for the replies if I can sell the 33's I'm thinking of fitting a set of 265/75 MTZs soon. Otherwise I'll have to wait til the STTs wear out and the rate they are wearing that will be a while!

I have 33's on my GQ TD42, but lately I've been thinking about putting it back on 31's. It's basically a tourer and I don't need 33's most of the time, so I was thinking I could be better off with 31's as it would give me better acceleration and pull up highway hills better. I've never driven my ...

I use Penrite HPR diesel 20W60.

Of course everybody will tell you with absolute certainty that whatever they use is the best

thx mate, very helpful

I've been thinking about getting a hand held 5W uhf, quite exy, but useful cos you can use it out of the car if you need to and it doesn't say 'steal me' the same way a big antenna mounted on the bullbar does.

That said range would be more limited.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Tiny,

I think you're right, he's being lazy. Do you know what part number I need for the GQ?

Well I was told Mannell's bushes are shite, mine need replacing after less than a year....and it hasn't been exactly flogged.

I haven't actually been in touch with Nissan direct it's through my mechanic, but somebody is feeding me BS, just not sure who :(

Guys, I'm getting the run around from Nissan, can somebody clear this up for me? I need new panhard bushes for the GQ (I have snake adjustable panhards). I want to go genuine, but apparently GQ ones aren't available anymore. Are GQ and GU bushes the same as I'm being told or is somebody feeding me ...

" Your vehicle was being driven in a manner which resulted in a deliberate exposure to exceptional danger, or any wilful or reckless act. Remember that next time your trying jeep hill or such track. :roll: That statement covers them for you doing anything... Agree, that's the kind of BS insurers ...

Just called them and they say you are covered as long as you are on a 'marked track'. So I am covered offroad, hooray!

That said I don't trust insurance companies and I'm sure they will find all sorts of reasons not to pay out for off roading mishaps.

Anybody using these guys? I want to change from Just car so I can be covered off road. Opinions on this insurer please... I am with Just Car Insurance and am covered anywhere I can legally drive - including off road. Are you sure you are not already covered? I don't have it anymore but when Ifirst ...

Thx mate, I've gone for the Blackwidow 2 pt immobiliser $260 fitted and they come to me.

Wanting to fit an immobiliser for insurance.

I've got quotes from Black widow and Brant and Black widow are considerably cheaper.

Anybody got any feedback on what's good and what isn't?

Interesting Scott,, the STT look pretty similar to the MTR and I am happy enough with my STTs. I think some ppl bag the STT based on performance of the old style STT.

I am finding wear rate pretty good on the STTs and they have heaps of grip for what I do.

love my STTs.

I would be interested in (constructive) comparisons between STT and MTR though as a lot of ppl seem to rate the MTR on here.

got mine on ebay, 7" crystal beams, much nicer than standard........put 90/130w globes in and you got yourself some reasonable lights.

Had the same problem on my shortie, check your panhard bushes as this will allow the front diff to wander side to side, worse under braking. Genuine bushes seem to be the best repacement. Got my mechanic to check it out, he reckons it's panhard bushes, gonna have em replaced with genuine Nissan ...

My steering wheel wobbles (kind of tries to turn left - right -left...) when I am braking lightly, it's not really bad, but definitely noticeable.

Does this mean I have warped rotors or something else?

Thanks,

this is funnay shit

it looks pretty gh.ey to me

Ive got the STTs and they're awesome, ideal if you want something with a bit more grip than all terrain but still want something that performs on road.

Good in the wet and super quiet for a mud tyre.
