Outer Limits 4x4 Board

a tilting fridge slide is ok, but when you have things tightly packed and you want to get something out of the bottom, everything collapses into the hole you make when you pull something out, it all falls over easily.

Has anybody got any pics of the mods they have done to their Hi Mounts, mostly looking for a pic of the main brake/ clutch shaft where the circlip groove is, Have heard about removing the circlip and drilling and tapping a hole in the shaft for a bolt and washer setup. Similar to the brake lever ...

Dave, just tie it down from the diffs, and then run a seperate strap to control body roll, we towed the Mav back from Sydney with a 6" lift in it and it didn't roll around too much.

Yer it did have a big lean on it, it sold for $750 I think, complete running car and all.

Did you count the number of cores in ya radiator ?????


Kingy

Yes I have genuine power steering, so I will need to look into that side of things, no I don't have air cond, but I haven't had a chance to look at the radiator yet.

OR!!!!! You could just buy mine already engineered and on LPG for $3500, ready to go... see my for sale add... Price was 5500. will take 3500 without the wheels, I will throw some 31's on 2nd hand.... what ya reckon..... Casey yer but the freight would kill me, I was going to see what you wanted to ...

Just looking for info and pointers on fitting a 350 Chev into a SWB MQ currently running the L28 and 4 speed manual, I want to keep things simple so don't really want to worry about any fancy electrics to go with auto's etc. Well then its a fairly straight forward conversion then with no major mods ...

Cheers for the info gents. I will have a good read through all the other threads about it and see what happens. The motor only set me back $500 for a good runner, A few things I will chase up in time. And for those who knock MQ's do you or have you actually owned 1. I have raced mine for nearly 3 ...

Just looking for info and pointers on fitting a 350 Chev into a SWB MQ currently running the L28 and 4 speed manual, I want to keep things simple so don't really want to worry about any fancy electrics to go with auto's etc. I have an adaptor kit for the 4 spd. Does the MQ require a slim line ...

hey "gone fishin" have you sussed the install of rb30 cos i got a vl turbo which would be nice to install to the ol MQ nut was told big stuff around to adapt. Surely old datsun 280z's have had rb30's installed over the years and there are kits available.(i originally thought this but have since ...

there is one in QLD that i know of, owned by a bloke from the 4wd monthly forums under the name of 2 Brutal, also my mate has an MQ, SWB SD33, 60 series diffs, spring over, air locked front, welded rear, extended wheel base, but its off the road at the moment, G'day mate, this is my rig as ...

they are legal on the brand new gu's they come stock with 33's not a chance, I've got a new GU and a Coopers rep told me they are close to 33", they are no where near it, more like 31's. If you move to Qld from NSW, and have your vehicle approved for that state then you have I think it is 3 months ...

Mate I got a price a few years ago for 1 for my SWB, and from memory it was the same sort of $$, are you wanting a soft top to follow the same shape as the canopy or follow the vehicles shape when the canopy it is removed,

The rule is max 15mm larger in diameter, but some DOT officers have been allowing 33's on GQ's etc, but some others won't. if they take the std GQ tyre as being a 7.50 x 16 on a split rim, then you mighty just scrape into fittng a 33 and being legal. 35's definately not though. plenty of people run ...

Any metal engineering shop that has a TIG welder will be able to do it for you, but you might have to prefab the mounts to save them time and just get them to weld them on. If you did all the prefab work and just got them to do the welding it would also save you a few dollars, as most of these ...

That said, i like them. so i'm currently building one.

Well done Rhino for having a go.

What model are you building and what chassis are you using

the split CV boots will save a lot of money in labour costs if they can come up with a universal split 1 to suit IFS vehicles, I have asked many people about this and they reckon it can't be done, but it looks like these people have done their homework.

After Xmas I will be looking into the pros and cons of building a Blizzard on a GQ SWB chassis, they at the moment are not DOT approved for Rhino to be building them and selling them as turn key vehicles, but for me to buy a shell and build my own it should be ok. The Blizzard has been built as a ...

I'm considering an RB 30 engine transfer into mine, as I want to stay under 3.3L for winch challenge, and am thinking of running the VL auto box and divorsed t/fer, Can you get rock hopper gears for MQ/K divorsed transfers, I was also going to have my gearbox and t/fer nearly touching each other, is ...

most likely all the leaves are the same length are they, if so these are parabolic leaves and 3 or 4 is normal but you won't get real good load carrying ability, but they give a softer ride and flex better than staggered packs

I've got an endless air on my L28 motor with power steering but it didn't have A/C so it bolts straight onto where it normally would go, you may need to look at fabricating another mounting bracket if you have room, or go with out your air con if you really want 1.

mate in Cairns there sholud be a caravan repairer, go and have a look at them and see what they have or go to WWW.camec.com.au and go to plumbing section and you will see about 6 or 8 different tanks they make, range from about $80 upwards. just needs the mounts to secure them, they have breathers ...

the P40 is a bit of a dinosaur of an engine and no body makes a snorkel for the P40 but i reckon it would be a close fit to an SD33. snorkel. but its not hard to make your own if you want 1 either, my SWB L28 is quite a good little motor it's no drag racer but it does everything needed. It is hard ...

do you have a race/rules format set out yet shane, Black Duck is going to be a long haul for me, but will try to make it.
