Re: Locker on a 4.2 Ute

Front for sure.
Theyre just trying to sell you the rear because they know you'll be back for the front as its more benificial.

Re: 37's on a gq ute

it doesnt matter how much lift you have, when your suspension articulates 37" tyres will scrub unless you cut guards, or move your diff forward.

You can buy it from performance shops all over the place, some also sell race fuels so this would then make them "retail FUEL outlets". CCDA rule doesnt state BP or shell retailers, and since Nos isnt a fuel, its an oxidiser allowing more fuel to be burnt CCDA rule: 4.1.15 FUEL, doesnt app...

go the buckshots, i was told by the tyre bloke they last a lot longer on road than the bighorns. Ive got buckshots, theyre wearing well and probably do 90% road driving.
i couldnt justify buying AT's either, at least now i can go for a little play without swapping to the treps :armsup:
