Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thankyou for the replys everyone, I was a tad worried. Something else I have just learned. Appreciate it.
I was stuffing around with the stereo behind the dash & must have knocked it in. My bad not noticing the light on for quite a while though.

HI all, I know about windup ect.. But today without realising it I have knocked the shifter into HIgh range 4wd & Have done a bit of driving this morning in 4wd But the front hubs are both Unlocked. What is the go with driving with 4wd in (Light on dash) but hubs unlocked? Can't get my head arou...

I have to carry a 4 stroke Petrol Compressor for work & Carry it in the rear of the 100 Series Landcruiser. Problem is the Fuel smell is quite bad & need a solution (Not a Masking Solution) The fuel cap is new & seals tight but still emitts fumes. I was told of a foam that motorcylcles u...

Tread looks 'Meh' Sidebiters are Pure Ghay Is this for real or some kind of gag

If you get a GQ with Points, Ditch them & Fit Electronic Ignition.

[Quote: On the two vertical posts in the centre there is two holes per post, you can bolt one of the common recovery hooks on there. UnfortuneatleyThey aren't approved recovery points. There was a pic on a 4x4 forum very recently where the hole broke open and smashed the guys rear window, can't rem...

I have an ARB non winch bar but it's possibly the same in this area. On the two vertical posts in the centre there is two holes per post, you can bolt one of the common recovery hooks on there. This is what I have on my winch bar, But after seeing a few bend (Not break) I welded some 5mm steel plat...

I Know where you can get exactly what you are after in your area as well, But I aint telling you until you change that Poxy Farking Avatar

mate had 16/38.5 15's on a coilcab, ran on around 4psi beadlocked. They do suck power bein that wide. biggest issue will be gaurd clearance. Mate, they must have looked seriously huge - the 35x15.5x15's I have are looking rediculously wide just sitting here, until I have them under the Gq I can't p...

thank's for the reply's, It is the old style, I had checked the air lines & there are no leaks.. Basically it is just pumping air straight out where you stick the hose connection to reinflate tyres.. I have the day off on Thursday so will go down to ARB & Enquire for the 'o ring & Replac...

Have a new problem with the arb compressor under my bonnet.. Prob, is it won't cut out & Continues to run & Blow air as though I was using it pump up tyres.. If I press the Rear & Front locker switches nothing happens. Used the lockers on the weekend & Last time I tried the compresso...

Cheers for the Reply's Guy's, Fuel consumption was something I hadn't thought about as well, On Gas though So it's pretty cheap to Run. I am a tad concerned with not having the Power to Spin them, But will be taking them on there first trip this weekend so will soon see :armsup: I got them for a gre...

Has anyone from the Forum ran with this size tire?? I have them in my posession & Am finally getting some 15x10" rims on Thursday to have them on the GQ.. There basically the same rolling diameter as the Simex I currently run, But they are a wide tire & was wondering if anyone has some ...

nastytroll wrote:I would go 10" with that width, 13.5" is max I would go on 8"

Yeah mate, I was thinking that it was a low percentage hope, Just that I have 6 15x8's spare & No 10"'s & The tyres here...
Question by chance that someone has tried this & had any success??

Is it @ all possible to fit 35x15.5x15" Tyers (Super Swampers) To a 15x8" rim?? Or should it definately be 15x10" ??
Will be run on a GQ Patrol if that matters...
Any info much Appericated

Mate, Thankyou very much for that, I had some basic ideas, but your post has simplified it alot to me... Cheers Mate

Hello all, I have spent a little time searching, But have not come up with any instructions on how easy or hard it is to do a self installation of drop boxes on an 89 gq swb patrol. Currently running 4" Spring lift & 3" Body with No castor correction whatsoever. Have 2 drop boxes, &...

Mate, are the front tyres 'Heal & Toeing' At all, Meaning is the tread pattern even all through the tires?? Had front tires heal & toe & drove exactly as you explained.. Front shocks were my Problem..

Gq Drivers Seat can't handle a big fattie, I Got a beefed up silvia seat which serves me girth!!

Sry Vidal, Only just got my Et's But for the past few years I have ran Jungle Trekkers & got 55,000 out of my rear & got around 25,000 out of my front before they turned into a deformed heap. I know it is Bad but I never rotated & my rear tyres almost outlasted two sets of front's.. We w...

Gotta Luv Gas

Mate, Had the exact same problem a few years ago in my 89 gq pet/gas
Fitted an Pertronix Ignitor Electronic Ignition Kit & Have never had a problem since (2 years on). Reccomend it. Rough figure I think it was about $450.00 installed.

Just an update, ive been quoted for the bighorns in a 35 for $315 a tyre, or the trepador in a 35 for the same, the 33 was 280, do you guys reckon these prices are alright? In perth but quoted $285.00 fitted/balanced for the 35" I am still trying to decide what to use as my daily driver but th...

Mate, I used to run cooper st's (33") On a gq swb with a fair bit of weight in it (Yes excluding my fat ass) I found they performed best on 40psi on road, & ran them on 12psi off road (Sand) Never deflated them other then sand.

Thank's for the Reply Guy's :) Bit more confident now, I think what I will Do Is just head down on 12 psi & work from there, When funds perit I would love to get a set of internal beadlocks, but for now I will Urr on the side of caution & try a little higher, Big tyre to try & reseat the...

Hi All, Does anyone have any info on how simex extreme trekker 2's Go in the Sand (Soft Beach)?? I currently am running JT2's & run them @ 8psi with No prob's. I am upgrading to 36x12.5x15's next month & was wondering if anyone has any idea on how they will perform on a GQ tb42? 8" Rim....

Thankyou Everyone for the reply's, I have exhausted everything with my limited knowledge, So I will just have to take it down to a Gas Mechanic, I don't really want to play around with Gas itself..

Thnx again, Pete :-)

HI Kyle, Yes it does Mate, I have checked all the wiring around the tank as well & all seems Ok, All earths are fine & wiring is not frayed or loose at all from what I have traced?? About 300mm from the tank the wires are in a rubber tube to about 300mm from the converter. Don't see how any ...
