Paul

Interested to hear as well

I will put my hand up on that one too. I am hoping to organise a team for the next one and get into the game.

theres were 35 starters still waiting to get all the sheets back from the helpers who collected them and not sure as to how many did the whole run but i think only about ten. will definately post all results as soon as they are available. really glad to hear that so many people enjoyed the night ...

Will be there.

plus bringing a mate.

should be good.

I'm going to say I see an argument to either side here. People need to make a step from hard to extreme at some stage, there will always be those at the top and lower end of capable. I personally fit into the three requirements mentioned bar a winch. I did seek assistance last night and I'm sure I ...

That was beaut. Wasn't bothered chasing points, just happy to tag along but that in itself proved challenging. had to crack out the old snatch a few times last night and also went home with a bruise on the rear of the cruiser and minus a tail light. Really hoping someone dumps a bunch of photo's up ...

I am glad all had a great night run how about coming to the next Logan meeting. Its not quite as fun as 4wd but....... Mate I'd be there in a flash if I could. Me personally, unless you are offereing baby sitting while you are at it, it's a no can do. Missus works nights, I got a little lady to put ...

Well it may be that the old MQ might have to sit this one out.

One reason only.

The great bank of Nevyn may not be able to finance fuel for the night.

D'OH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again from the MQ with the staked MTR. Bit P#$@ssed about that, who the hell leaves a steel post sticking out of the ground??? GRRRR and as luck would have had it the fronts were the best tires, the back ones were (are) nearly due for replacement. Oh and I also bent the crap out of my door ...

Maybe I could pull something off though....but I honestly think if I go to this, I will be pulling something off....coz I wont be getting any action at home

HAHA

Playing a dangerous game there mate.

Well looks like I will be there, should have a passenger this time too. May also be bringing another member (Clownboy) with his Surf as well...... ..... that's if he is let off duty. And for those who recognise my old crappa, I now have a proper recov at BOTH ends, my homemade snorkel has had some ...

I'm in Brissy.

I've been told they have LSD in the rear anyway. but no-one to confirm.

Besides which, feeling rather poor right now anyway.

And a welded diff is cheep which sounds like what you need`

Best mod ive done on my patrol

Steve

Did you do front or rear??

Hey peoples Want to get the opinion on this, but take all into consideration. Really old crappa of a SWB MQ Patrol, therefore not really worth spending money on Lockas would be more than half the money I paid for it. Laughing My little Brother is head diesel Mech for a truck workshop and therefore ...

Rating: Hard Does that mean I shouldn't bother?? I have no Mods to help me out and I'm still a bit of a baby on the 4wd scene. More than happy to give anything a crack and I do have hooks at each end, just don't want to turn tag along into drag along. Be a pain in the proverbial for everyone else ...

Sorted. Hey thanks for the good ideas, both of those end options would have worked well. But the end result was easier. Went into the wreckers today, found a factory one. Three bolts (even though it was a bit stuck fast by the re-arranged bumper) $5 at the counter (didn't even bother trying to ...

That makes sense. How do I know if the bolts on the bullbar are High tensile or not??

OK well I love them then :-p

Na seriously, thanks. I have sent them an email with these two photo's attatched. I hope they have they same thing for my MQ.

This is an aftermarket hook for a GU, the GQ mount is the same I love you !!! (In a non-sexual, only temporary, only cause you found what I want sort of way) :twisted: I knew I had seen that sort of hook before. that's exactly what I was thinking. Where did you get it?? do you remember how much ??

Mine was a GQ and I was able to mount it and the bullbar to the chassis using the factory bolt holes. "was" being the operative word ??? meaning you can't send me any photo's?? I am thinking that I may be able to make a hole in the bullbar if I weld in some re-inforement, that way I can still use ...

Get a factory chassis mounted hook from a wrecker. Mine had been removed to fit the bullbar. $20 from Halls. I would much prefer to keep my Bullbar, I think that's half the prob. is there any hooks etc that the hook itself sits above/below where it bolts on?? http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f172 ...

How hard can it be?? As some of you know I need a recov point on the front end of the Patrol. have been to a couple of different places. First was ARB, the guys said $100 bucks including the hook. I said great but I can't do it right this moment, I will organise it soon. Two weeks later I ring back ...

Bugger, why did you have to live in melbourne, that's exactly what I been looking for.

Well I think the night went well. Heaps of vehicles out there

little bit muddy but nothing extreme except in one or two spots. Only a few casualties and one major bogging.

Well as the newbie I sucked. Got stuck a few times, needing a snatch twice, thanks guys.

I don't think I made myself clear. Have two handhelds, was talking a long range one to be mounted in the patrol. I'm not looking for handhelds. I have two handhelds and they are great. however they are handhelds and therefore the distance is crap. Not only that using them while driving is bloody ...

Probably, Q still stands, is there anything I should be looking for??

Specific DB or something??

Brands that are crap, capabilities that are really useful?

ie apart from the scan channel thing I know nothing.

Have two handhelds, was talking a long range one to be mounted in the patrol.

OK Need to get a Radio to talk to people !!

Very tech I know.

Na Seriously, can't spend much, 'bout the hundred mark, (Mrs Nevyn getting it for B/Day) what are the necessities??

Where is the best place to look? Dicks/retra vision. etc.

Southside brissy.

Hey peoples. Can anyone tell me where my timing mark should be?? I know I should have a book for it but It's not the original engine and therefore unsure what to get, plus don't want to get two as I a tight ass. :lol: Should it line up with the centre of the gauge thing that I don't what it's called ...

optimise your shackle length to suit the length of your springs, pull a couple of leafs out the pack, open up the retaining clamps on the spring packs, make sure you've got flogged out rubber bushings in there not poly, and make sure your shocks aren't limiting travel. remove the bumpstops and trim ...

You don't necessarily have to spend big $$$ if you have skills to do some/all of the work yourself and of course time. I trandformed the suspension on my leaf sprund 4x4 from under 6" of wheel travel per axle to about 15", and it cost under $500 for everything all up (would have only been $200 if ...
