Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I bought a swb MQ patrol that has 33" allterains on it (lil bit chunkier than BFG's though). what looks to be a small spring lift and 2 radios in it. Im selling the old bike and will have $4000 sitting round wanting to be spent to make this thing capable. What do you guys think i should do first? body lift, bigger tyres (35" pedes), winch, drop shackles, turbo kit (as its a non turbo 3.3 Diesl), put a TD42 in? anything else.....??

this is my 2nd 4x4, i had a tuff lil suzi sierra before this one. so im prepared to go all out on this one.

hope i can get some help!!
Cheers, from Dayne

sell mq and buy a gq?

Yep, I own my Mk for a reason. Sd33T and a cheap reliable truck.

IF i had that money to through around, id be looking for a GQ as an all out.

MQ/MK are old as the hills and almost cost more to mod properly, and peopel still end up with a GQ

ahahha everyones against my car! i cant afford a GQ and mod it though. MQ is cheaper

Not against it at all, I have 2 of em. and in no rush to upgrade

If you can use a search button and sopend hours researching, and can use tools, welder, etc you could build a tuff one with the 4k easilly.

BUT, youd get a good start into a gq for 4k plus your MQ and itd be alot more user friendly.

How much do you wanna butcher the MQ , and how hard to you wanna wheel.

35's are a start. buy factory Turbo setup cheap, i know of one sitting round

Dude MQ's Are Da-Fa-Shiz!!

this is my MQ!

well im a mechanic and have used a mig, tig and arc welder so theres no trouble there. any chance of mentioning a name and a number and a price for this standard turbo set up?? definetly keen if its the rite price!!
The mods will be an endless situation. i got the truck for couple grand so i will be going all out on it.

"WIKED"
What u do with your rear diff there? i cant stand the gay departure angle ey!! and why does it look like your rear isnt leaf sprung no more ahah.

Rear is 4-link coils and its been pushed back alot! lol

makes sense. so where do i find some info on the coily mod?? and how much did it cost ya to do?

Lol dude there is plenty of info on coilin cars out there!

A mate did it when he owned the car so it didn't cost me lol

just be prepared for the time required to complete these mods, a lot of work goes into a truck like the one above. all the time, money and effort spent on the MQ might be lucky to get you a un-roadworthy GQ equivalent.

the mq is sooo much tuffer though ;-)

yea im gonna stick with what i got. too much effort selling the mq, saving up, finding a gq and what not. But if anyone out there has a standard turbo, manifold etc etc for a sd33 or whatever they are, please tell me!!! Would really like a lil more power!

damn it wicked, i love your truck its wicked.

Redhotzook, the mq,mk are as said, a old truck and well leaf springs do get the better of you, needless to say, spend the money and they'll still go places. Mine isn't as hardcore as wicked's but still gets the job done.



Can't help you with a factory turbo setup sorry, I'm chuckin a turbo engine in mine but gotta spec it up abit first [/img]

nice i like ya truck!!

ive decided to buy my mates custom winch bar off his GQ comp truck, get a winch. 2" or 3" body lift, 35's or cut the gaurds a bit and put 37" centipedes. then after a lil while if i have any money left.... front and rear air lockas.

Dude my diffs are for sale, fornt and rear, front air locker and welded rear 4.3. SPOA front and 4 link rear. PM Me if interested.

Body lift's bad dude, stay away from it.

Buy a grinder!

P.s. Centipede's dont come in a 37" as far as i know. 36" is the biggest! lol
