Outer Limits 4x4 Board

No snorkels are made for bundy's anymore, TJM or ARB used to do one but no longer...

you can put a 75 series snorkel on the drivers side with some moving of engine bay components but when i owned my bundy i found the easiest thing was to just get an alloy one made up, look smicko as well. Got it ...

i will get some pics! I am definitely gonna build something. Have been toying with some ideas for a while once i get fully settled into the new place there may be some action.

guys i would love to get an event going in the area. The terrain is absolutely awesome and would eat up some of the places on the east coast.

All we need to do is get those east guys to be willing to come over and compete. I am keen as mustard to build something so maybe if i go over to the east ...

Guys, The problem here was the spotties obstructing the airflow....

I must emphasize that the temperatures are around 44-46 degrees celcius at the moment here. I got 40km out of town doing 110km/hr and it started boiling. It as a brand new thermostat in it as i replaced it after the first time it ...

yeh the cause of the overheating was the lightforces on the front but i am still interested in ways of cooling it more as i want to be confident in it when i do the kimberleys trip.

I am living in the Pilbara now and want to know is there anything around at all.

There is a 4wd Club in town here and i would like to see whether the guys here are keen to start something up. Most guys in the town are happy to spend money for a bit of entertainment so i dont see why 4wd comps ...

i found out my spotlights were causing some pretty major overheating after about 1/2 hour of highway driving. The spotlights are off but i am interested in ways to cool the engine better.

Summer here is average 45 degrees. Does the nissan bonnet scoop make a difference?

I am looking for some drawings of different 4x4 chassis's on the internet to consider for a project.

LWB suzuki sierra, toyota hilux, landcruiser, bundera etc.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

okay cheers guys.

also... i am not up with the terminology so what suspension systems are allowed in the legends class?

fox shocks?
coil overs?
3-4 links?

I have been reading the rules and thinking and reading the rules and thinking more...

But i would like to clarify something...

For the legends class... Must you use rhs chassis and is there an amount that has to be used??? Like from the front to the positiion of the rear axle or whatever ...

thanks, looks like its 6 to one, half a dozen to the other if its worth it.

might see what i can get a GU 4.2 TD for and go from there.

is this just for a standard TD42 turbo?

I have the opportunity to get a GU coil cab 1999 model pretty cheap, but it has the non-turbo early motor in it? what are they like? Would 2 grand be enough to get a turbo fitted to it? maybe an intercooler as well? What do you nissan guys think...

the bundera's (RJ70: petrol, LJ70 turbo diesel) are the coil sprung version... see my signiture below...

The others are leaf sprung.... not sure of the codes.

got that one made for my bundera @ J & J Bullbars at springwood.

they did some good work and well priced as well.

cheers,

the other issue is strength... to an extent, the further the distance between the cv joints and the centre of the rim... the more stress you are putting on the system.... As for how much i have no idea.

I think dumdunce ran spacers on his bundy so he may be able to give personal you an idea for ...

you dont necessarily need flares to go to that size... they may stick out a bit. If you are using it offroad, my advice would be get some well offset rims or even spacers to get your track wider. That way its nice and stable on slopes.

theres nothing like street-cred!

now i just have to sell it....

here you go mate, this is mine as it sits at the moment....

i have lots of pics of bundies, when i get time to post them i will link them to here.

i can get a leaf sprung version for about 10 grand less, will be driving both before a decision is made.

does anyone know how unconfortable the ride is in a GU leaf cab?

i need it to pull trailer, or float eventually as well as be comfortable for long distances but still take me places to explore.

4" will be absolutely heaps.... could do it with 3" maybe 2".

how much will the 60series diffs take it outways??? as opposed to the standard bundy diffs?

Ok, i know which one is better but i am only just out of uni and the bank doesnt like loaning people the amount of money.... so i wanna know what are the pros and cons for each....

Which one i buy depends on how much i get for my bundera... but i want to know what i am getting into before i decide.

what i get all depends on how much money i have left.... would be content with just an average steel tray but my 4x4 heart is leading me astray.

stretch your budget and buy my bundera for 8k...p/s, a/c, p/windows... all the creature comforts you can ask for plus a very capable little cruiser.

not really sure what i am after yet, i was asking since alot of the ex government patrols that i am looking at buying have big boxy trays with huge toolboxes on them.

I want something more practical so was seeing if i could get one made and hence still buy one of these patrols. The patrols i ...

I am looking at a coil cab with an inappropriate tray for my needs, i want to know if anyone has a tray for sale? know anyone that builds one? or has pictures of some interesting designs for help?

any help would be appreciated...

since pics are down, u can email pics to joelblake@gmail.com ...

are they fox shocks on the rear?
