Thought maybe we should have a more serious post. They can't all just take the piss out of bjwagon.jpg (purple hi-roof thing)
30mm solid tie rod with GU cab-chassis rod ends to replace 24mm hollow stocker that was bent enough to be hitting the fins on the carrier at LH lock

i like how you "rescued" them from the bin must be a northside thing
the boot in the picture wasnt half deliberate I was awaiting for an UGG boot call, nice steering stabiliser mount, but aren't steering stabilisers, just "band aids" plus who needs one of them, the ram should do that job

Dear Carlton,
We have received a report from the South about some Yahoo terrorising the huddled masses in some modified POS. Please report to the North for inspection or we will fine you more than your house is worth. Also, find enclosed a permit that allows you to be on the North side of the lake, and note that it is valid for one day only between the hours of 8:30 and 4:00 on the day of the inspection.
Cheers

Wendle, I've just bought a complete cab/chassis draglink (the one behind the diff) with the same tie rod ends. It's a 32mm by 6 or 6.5 thick wall thickness tubing so is much more substantial than the original wagon one.
It cost me $220 all up and I was wondering how it compared to buying the heavy duty tie rods separately.
Regards Andrew.
ps, if you think the GQ wagon drag links are weak, compare them to the GU. The GU ones are much smaller again.

The off-the-street-bloke price when I went into Nissan myself was $110 each!
Overkill Sam bought these ones for me, I think he payed about $80 each or something??
6mm should be OK. I have bent two of the stock ones in 6 months and both were from dragging the axle tube over something and then having it slam into the tie rod as the axle falls over it..
I don't think they are more than about 4mm wall, though..

Steering dampener whats that Isnt that a Hydro ram.
Steering Im only going to say it once HEIMS.
Your hi-steer is a self fuelled urban myth - Sasquatch Engineering PTY LTD -
You were meant to show it to me at woodpecker, I am still standing in the paddock there typing this on a laptop & waiting to see it.
Seriously, is it done now?? Get photos if it is..
Did you tap the Nissan box for your hydro, Or swap something else in? I forgot to check it out at XRCC

damn you are one strong sasquatch, cause you were shifting those 39s easy

Is it a proper brick chimney, or a modern metal flue?? I am pretty thin but the metal ones are just a bit too tight
$95 is still pretty dear, I guess. They are a very high quality bit of gear though.
One strange thing. All the clamp bolts on them had different sized heads? Same diameter and thread pitch, just different size heads.. Weird, man..
