Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys, as the other night was my first real look under and around a MQ, and even a nissan for that fact, i didnt actually have that good a look that i could work out what the round cylinder type linkage that hangs down up the front in the middle of the two front spring hangers... Im guessing some ...

Geeez, thanks 4 all the info guys. done well. Im not going to get that Mq now, which actually had square lights, so im guessing was actually an Mk??? Drove not to bad, but the rust was a little worse than i wanted to deal with. Would still be keen to get one, before i get a GQ, just for a year or ...

Guys, going to go have a look at a 84 swb mq tommorow. Just wondering if $6500 too much, doesnt matter how good a condition it is... Has power steering,220000kms, one owner, 5speed, sd33turbo and a little (not unfixable) rust around the roof sill and the bottom drivers side door. But, im thinking ...

Thanks for advice guys... Think a petrol 4.2 mite be allright, and as you all say, its still a good base and then wack a fuel injected v8 in at a later stage... Been reading through thread re. exhaust options for a duel fueler, notice with extractors and straight through exhausts you can pick up a ...

...if i can just add to this.

cant seem to find kilowatts and torque outputs for both tb42 and td42? Do both have same running gear, and how does the TB42 go with steep inclines/declines?

ANy help?

Guys... Was thinking of looking around for swb 88-90 diesel patrol, but these seem rare, or is it im just looking in all the wrong places but im finding a lot of duel fuel ones... How many guys out there lover the petrol version over the diesel. The only advantage im seeing is a little bit more ...

Hi guys.. Well i went to check it out. It had a winchbar/winch, was not of the vacuum style ('85 model) but it had an old 350chev in it, whereas i was looking for diesel. Its pretty good but. Ahwell... Thanks for your input guys... I still think im going to go down the 73 path, as they look wickd ...

Need 2 ask a question and get an opinion... Firstly, are 73series lever or vacuum operated 4x4? Secondly, may have found a sweet 73series but just wondering if it is worth $9999... Its got a good body, BFG muddies 35's on 15x10s, lifted, bullbar driving lights... Would you guys pay that for it, or ...

Oi, apart from all the awsome rigs that are on ih8mud.com, where can i find pictures of aussie owned custom 60s... 2 other questions. Will 35s be ok with a 2h diesel motor? (think not, but like opinions) Why shouldnt i get a HJ60? (2big, slow, old etc...) Basically, im just trying to decide to go ...

Anyone know of, or where i can find body dimensions for a 60series landcruiser. Are they all the same length right up to the 62series... Its just that i was browsing some awsome readers rigs on ih8mud.com and some of those vehicles look pretty long in the bum. It might be just the angle the pictures ...

Hey rockhopper...

R ur blocks poly?


CheeRs

ha, exxxcellent... I just came on to post a question about bodylifting a 60series... Coogee, i seen a wicked 60 the other day, looked good with 35x10.5r15 ET's, which i think are a great size. What extra do you get in a bodylift kit over just buying blocks seperate, or making them yourself... Would ...

Even after flicking through the bible for a while, i still wanted something cleared up.

Is there any one size exhaust/muffler set up that works best to get the most out of a sd33t motor?

Or, as always, will it depend on other factors...

Cheers
Lee.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me quickly if all HJ60's have the vaccum 4x4activation or was it only the later model G packs?

Did anycome out with the 2H-2L-4L lever activation?


Thanks Guys...

Lee

Just wanted to know if those of you that have SWB MQ patrols in victoria registered it as a Ute. I know you do this with SWB 40series and it saves a heap on registration a year...

Just curious.

Lee.

Where do all the pictures go in the posts after a while. I have been reading through readers rigs in the MQbible, and have been disspointed when reading through all the great information that is there, and not being able to see the pictures that accompany them. Is it just bad luck, or are they ...

sweet!

Thanks men...

sooo, the earlier 73series motor is not centrally located in the engine bay? Thats fugged up isnt it, or is the handling not that bad...

I need to test drive one of the things asap...

Thanks... I just had the chance to check out the rear of a 73series, and the rear shock setup is now understood. It has one shock in front, one behind, but not like the hilux where the leaning angle of the shock runs lengthways of the vehicle. The 73series rear shocks still both lean in towards the ...

Ok, just while im here. Just two more questions, im finally getting somewhere. If i had either of these vehicles nearby, i could answer these myself, but i dont, so here goes... I found out in another post that the 73series has a leading and trailing rear shock setup like the hilux, but doesnt have ...

So, if im clued up on this now, the low pinions have the bigger front diff housing, such as you earlier cruisers, 60series, etc... The high pinion diff is that used on hiluxs and 80series etc...

If thats all true, then im on my way to understand all this..

Cheers Mate
Lee.

Ok, difference in high pinion and low pinion... i know size difference, but apart from that, why is one better than the other... I never realized that the 70series was still made into the 90's. There you go eh... I need to get out and test drive some of these buggers then eh... Thanks guys.

Guys, getting series about looking for one of these vehicles. Just cant seem to find much info on them. Seen some pretty slick pictures of both, just need to work out which one is would be the better buy. Just need someone to clear some things up. 1. The 70series SWB Hardtop (not the coil sprung ...

Just wanted to know whos bodylifted a 40series shorty, and how they went about it, and is as simple as say lifting an MQ?


Thanks in advance
Lee

Cheers... It was only cuz id read about the bad things about the early bunderas that i thought that it would be the same deal with the 73's... Still thinking the 73 is a good option to a mq patrol. As far as mods go, would be keen to bodylift, and maybe add a few inches in the springs (reset ...

Damn, well... if i were to buy a 73, is that set up worth keeping, or is it worth looking at converting somehow to standard type set up, ie. like the earlier cruisers, (60's, 40's, ect...)

Hi all... Been doing a bit of research on the 73series landcruisers (the mwb FRP topped ones). What is the rear shocker set up like? Im just hoping its not like the bundera which has the hilux type set up, ie: one shock infront, one behind the rear axle. I cant seem to find anything on this? Can ...

Is this a simple and worthwhile doing on this model Patrol SWB, or any leaf sprung 4by... Whats involved... Is it just unbolting switching and then rebolting, or is there cutting and welding to be done? (sorry, but just dont have a leaf sprung vehicle in front of me to see whats involved... Cheers ...
