Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What are you going to run for your backup winch Darin?

im using a pro-tools 105HD and a protools hsn501I notcher, both great apart from striping threads on the notcher shaft, spoke to protools about it, first 1 they have ever heard about, i have a feeling a mate who borrowed has been doing things he should have been. old shaft did over 3000 notches ...

There is a lot of info about them on the american forums. seem to be going well. There is no doubt that king race series are better shocks along with fox. However I have just purchased 6 FOA shocks and 2 bumpstops (already had fox bumps for the front) because of the price and how well they are going ...

thats a $5000 setup even before you have 2 extra motors (flamins come with a motor) and you will need 4 solenoids and probably 2 extra batteries to get the best out of it which means another or a very beefed up alt. PLUS all that torque you will most likely blow up the gears or the brakeshaft ...

When i can afford it.... been thinking and planning it for a long time

so if you put in a smaller diameter drum can you still fit a free spool or is there not enough room down the drum? have a look at wazza's on the flammin fabrications site, his drum and freespool is pretty impressive. I can 2nd this, I have one of Warrens freespools, very nice bit of equipment ...

Have any radius arms you want to get rid of?

Yea i have Mitch, why do you ask?

I looked at doing it but decided it wasnt worth it. Now im building a GQ chassis with coilovers and am going to stick my MQ body on it. I think its the better option. i think this would be the beter option to buy GQ diffs, everything is bolt on then, the only thing you need to modify is the body ...

Wayne Smith sells them if i remember correctly. username is Smithy jnr

No its not easy to change.

I am putting an TD42T (or a TB42 with turbo, still can't decide and this is the only part left to buy) into my MK. New engine, gq gearbox and T-Case aswell as gq diffs. It is going to be a very interesting exercise.

I assume that all the MQ's have C200 fronts and H233B or H260 rear ends. As far as i know there are no aftermarket diff gears available, so your only option is to find a truck with them in or get them straight from nissan (i talked to nissan here in NZ and the ring gear and pinion was approx $1500 ...

Are we talking about the lower housing were the main and intermediate gears are? There isn't much you can do about damage to that part of the winch apart from install an uprated mainshaft. Would like to hear who it was that did it. Anyone know? (Shhot me a PM if you do so as not to get this thread ...

Yes it is possible to run 4 motors if your electrical system could handle it. (well in NZ winch comps anyway, not sure about OZ winch comps) didn;t one of the comp guys in qld do this? and blew the gears or casing apart the first time it was used? Not with these adapters it hasn't. I'm sure I'd ...

Check out the goodwinch G12 (I think thats the model)

I wouldnt buy one though, am sticking to the 8274 because every man and his dog has one so you can always beg, borrow and steal parts.

Have you done any research about increasing the boost on the sd33t? From all my research, 14-15psi might end in a bad way... I wouldn’t go over 12psi myself. Then again if you do it right (intercooler, oil cooler watch the egt, etc) then you might get away with it. This is a good site http://www.bi ...

dont think they'll let me race in the trophy class any way with a v8 and coil conversion. i heard that some of the comp guys were going back to 35x11.5's over the 36's. BS or true? aimimg at events like cliffhanger and vic winch.... etc In New Zealand almost all the comp guys have gone back to the ...

I NORMALLY WELD FISH PLATES TO THE CHASSIS WHICH ARE THREADED. THE SLIDERS THEN BOLT TO THEM. REASON IS NOTHING HANGS BELOW THE CHASSIS. IF NOT SURE I BUILD CUSTOM SLIDERS FOR MANY VEHCILES, AND CAN MADE THE BEASTS. LUKEYS 4X4 CUSTOMS - 0409 991742 LLANDILO N.S.W 2747 CHEERS...... How thick are the ...

Shindaiwa 488 with 20" bar. Goes well, should go even better with an exhaust mod... just got to get around to doing it. Hould love a husky but they are very expensive over here...

I wish mine did that! (I have the opposite problem where it comes out of 4L in the most annoying places )

But yes, you need to drop the Tcase and gearbox together if you are going to take it out.

Just a quick question. Are you guys talking about the Procraft series?

Just a note about coilovers. I take it that those rancho ones you posted up are out of the states? For a similar price you could get King - 2" Remote reservoir, Coil Over, Prerunner Series Shocks (With springs) So just make sure that you have a look around when it comes to coilovers (check out King ...

Unimig 255 Workshop series. I dont own one at present but have used one on a regular basis. Its a great machine, goes all day everyday. Once i have the money, i will have one sitting in the shed.

No Worries, I will post it up on my website by this time next week.

would do it today but the F#*KING engineer welded the top plate for the notcher stand upside down!!! so it is being fixed now (should be done by tonight)

Once i get it all set up on the stand I will post pics. Will also post pics of a bend so you can see the quality of the bends

Here are some pictures for anyone interested. sorry if you are on dial up Notcher http://forum.4x4trailhunters.com/uploads//monthly_01_2007/post-226-1169623946.jpg http://forum.4x4trailhunters.com/uploads//monthly_01_2007/post-226-1169623959.jpg http://forum.4x4trailhunters.com/uploads//monthly_01 ...
