Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I admit defeat

ummm.....12 body mounts???? yep in a lwb.
http://www.gqpatrol.com/bodylift/index.htm
To support your arguement for 12 bodymounts, you gave me a link which says and i quote "To make a body lift you need for a Lwb 10 x approx 70mm diam by 50mm long aluminium or steel spacers with a 13mm hole in the ...

ummm.....12 body mounts????

Its the same as mine....except yours is a lot cleaner. I did the spark plugs a few weeks ago. Its a bastard and you hurt your knuckles a lot but it can be done. All i undid was the air pipe but not fully, only enough to move it a little bit just to give me just that little bit of extra room needed ...

Hi Ross,
Would extractors off a Patrol GQ 4.2 Diesel go onto a patrol gq 4.2 petrol? And if it does, how much would i be looking at for someone to fit them and 2.5inch exhaust that comes with it?
Thanks
Glenn

Hi, I was just wondering if extractors that have come off a td4.2 will go onto a tb4.2
Thanks
Glenn

I agree with you that a GQ is just a bit too clunky looking for that kind of money (but a great option for under $10k). Anyone spending $20k today on a GQ that's not seriously and expensively modified would need their head read imho.
Jason

Under 10k? Do you have any idea about the price of 4bys ...

the GQ would be an awesome choice. Should be able to pick up a good one for a little under 20k then a little left for some new rubber and maybe new suspension. I'm not just saying that cause i own one but they will probably be the best possible 4by for the price your talking, cause the 80 (which is ...

Yea... the 4.2p is nice. The only problem is that i'm still poor from buying it that i can't do any mods to it.

your patrol is 4,2?

yeah.

there is "bush n beach".... or something very similar

Thats a magazine. I deliver it. It's really about fishing and boating.

Thats fantastic. I can't read it but i'm guessing its a diesel

Thanks for that. I'll basically be going past that around midday.

And i really want to get some issues cleaned up,
but from the read of that article, i reckon i'll get
something like "whats the legality of reducing my
gearing so i can travel at 1km/h at 2000revs"
with a response of "excuse me?"

What rig you driving?

My mate has an 84 2.4d. He struggles to speed in school zones! and he's still got all his points. Go for one of those. Its stock and goes suprisingly well.

RACQ goes allright.

Not my experience :roll: As long as the truck is pretty standard they'll talk but start swapping engines and what not

I'm insured with racq and although i've only had it for a bit over 3 months they seem alright. They we're the cheapest for me and i asked about mod's and ...

Duff,

Your bar may be strong but its not what you need when you clean up a roo. I've actually been wondering how I would stand up. Here's my current rig

are the 315's as wide as the 35's?

315's is the width (315mm) and 35" is the hieght so no comparison can be made. But i must say 315's is 12.5" which is a nice tyre.

JontyG; When i first took my insurance out (in queensland) with RACQ they said i am insured up to 100mm (4") which makes me ...

Screwy,

About your original question, i don't know if the shocks would have enough travel to fit 4" springs but if they did, anyone who knew what they were looking at and saw the shocks at full travel when its not flexing will think your a dick. You won't need to replace the brake lines cause you ...

Just at the top of the bottom hinge is the thing that holds the door open when fully open. its like a curvy thing that slides over a circular thing. Thats where the problem was with mine, just dirty and needed some grease. I would check that out before changing the hinges.

I had that. Loud clicking creaking sort of noise. I cleaned them thoroughly and then re oiled them. Not perfect but much better.

33 inch maxxis mudders x 5 $1000. Get bob to do it. very easy to fit. These tyres are awsome on and off road. Great value.


my brother is in the market for new tyres and when shopping around one tyre mob told him the maxxis are really good and he's interested. The only problem is that he does a ...

My first oil change after i bought my truck i use the penrite Gas oil, whatever it is called, because i run gas. I'm happy with it. When ideling the oil pressure drops to 2kg/cm3 which is apparently good as it means it is alot cleaner. It never did this before i changed the oil. I don't know if that ...

I think you guys earn more money than me seeing as winches and lockers are going in on the list of 'basic modifications'.

Thats a good question. I'm in a similar situation.
Seeing as i'm still paying off mine for a few more months i'm gonna keep costs down til i pay it off i'm gonna keep my mods simple.

I've already done a safari snokel because i've already wet my air filter which was enough of a scare.

And next is ...

yeah it is the car yard at lawnton.



If your talking about adventure 4x4 then i would advise not to touch them. I have never had a bad experience but i have never bought from them. When i was in the market for a GQ wagon he said, (something like) "We don't have any in at the moment but i know of ...

I don't know but i'll be in the market for some in the near future so could you let me know how you go? Price?

I would have told her to suck it!

I don't run my petrol around town. You're supposed to run petrol every now and then to lubricate the engine so whenever to do some offroading i just use petrol

The second i trust what a car yard says is the second i should be shot.

Mines the 4.2 straight 6 petrol and it is terible on fuel economy. Around town it chews about 25L/100km on gas so on my 90L tank i would be lucky to get 350km, but when i fill up, it rarely goes over $35. People say to go diesel cause its more fuel efficient but you can't get it for less than $1.10 ...
