Outer Limits 4x4 Board

120 series is 93 + 87, although most quote" 2 x 90 ltr tanks".

Gameco will have everything you need.

They have more than what is listed on their website. I got all my camper trailer stuff from them.

The old man is going on a trip out to the Flinders and wants a UHF for a little added safety while on the road.

Looking for something that fits the following:

- 5W output
- handheld
- charge from cigarette socket (this is the bit I am struggling to find)

Looked at both GME and ICOM, but I don't ...

Straight off the battery, fused, with very thick wire (I think they say 6mm2 or something). The normal wiring in your car won't be thick enough and will most likely melt the insulation - 3 ways are VERY hungry on 12V.

any ideas??

Different fuse for hazard and indicators - check both.

I bought mine from Springers at Strathpine.

They may be a little cheaper at Fridge and Solar on the Coast, but maybe not worth the drive.

It is the 90 A/h you are chasing (N70 size).

If it is the genuine Nissan warranty, extended for a further 2 years then think about it. I had the option (and yes, it was the genuine Nissan warranty extended), but declined given that we don't really travel that far. The car is now 4 years old and only has 48,000 klm on it (8,000 since last ...

Thanks.

May seem like a silly question, but there is method in my madness:

How much power does an interior car light burn?

The reason for the question, my camper has a little interior light that holds your typical 5w globe. Just want to know how much it would consumer if I left it on overnight.

Thanks.

I only just found out:

1) They have removed the sub tank from the 4.8 petrol (only comes with 95L main)

2) No more manual option in the 4.8 petrol - AUTO only

I can understand the auto only thing, but why remove the subtank?

That I didn't know!

Must have been discontinued in the Series III. I know the ones you mean, the Subaru still use them (as do many others).

About to replace the old double DIN unit in my GU and was wondering if anyone has a diagram for the original wiring ? I know I can chase speaker wires and so on if need be but something with color codes would be sweet :D

This is for a GU

On the Patrol harness:

Red/Green - 12v from ...

I bought the ARB equivalent. Wouldn't recommend it as the material they use seems to get mouldy on the outside after use and then storing.

The Engel may do the same, but I don't think the outer material is the same.

I now have it permanently in the car and it seems OK, but when stored in the shed ...

In Qld it is the same place that does the REVS check. Maybe it is the same in NSW?

Grab it . No doubt.

My 4.8 petrol let 4th gear syncro go at 40,000 klm's - fixed under warranty.

There have been others advising problems with the 4.2 g/box.

Don't need a full GPS or anything - just a retail Sat Nav like Navman. It's for a mate who tows a heavy work trailer around job sites - he gets lost around town - ALOT!

Does anyone know who makes a Sat Nav that you can plug a camera in to use as a rear vision camera?

I've seen one in a 4x4 mag @ $1,200 - any cheaper?

Doesn't need to be super fancy, as the camera is really only to line up a towball and a trailer.

Hi mercury6, there are a number of different ways you can do an installation depending on what type of dual battery controller you get, just substitute the SC40 controller for what ever one you plan to use and the diagram bellow will give you some idea of the layout and what you need to buy in the ...

Yes. Electronically controlled overload protection.

Yep. Only 1 St model in that year.

And no, it is not standard.

Not a big fan of plastic woodgrain. IN fact, not a big fan of real woodgrain.

I've seen someone who made a fridge slide with built in tilt function, so when extended, the fridge tilts down for easy access. I think they used a hinge of some type and then cable to stop the fridge from tilting too far. Looked pretty good.

$27,000 - Auto with 84K on the clock!

Not a bad start.

(for some reason linky no worky - just "cut and paste").

the 2.8 engine is a realiable engine, but a little underpowered for such a big vehicle, but the problem can be easily fixed by fitting a dtronic or modson up grade performance computer chip onit?

Only problem is, the 2.8 is getting really old now. That said, I have no idea of the budget here, but ...

Firstly, very nice looking Patrol. Good buying I think, given all those extras (there's nothing left for you to do!).

2 questions:

1) How big is that lift?
2) How many k's on it?

You'll have many happy years of motoring in that.

im askin feed back on chev clutch, if u dont know dont answer back.


Clutch is starting to slip, so want to start hunting around for new one.
the one in there is an 'extree outback' or something long those lines.
did last too long, ive got over 200kw to rear tyres, so looking for something ...

32 to 33 = 1 inch.

1 inch = 25.4mm

You have answered your own question.

The size increase/decrease changes from state to state, but the National Draft Code (there is debate as to when it applies, if it will ever apply, and if state law overrides it - but that's a whole differnt story) - anyway ...

90AH as my second battery.

Can't fault it. :armsup:

Same - brilliant!
