Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i want to build a comp rig and we have at work 2x 4.2ltr turbo diesel gu wagon with cracked chassie at the rear spring mount boss says its to expensive to fix and i can buy it if i want. Was thinking this could be a good bassis for me how hard/expensive is this to properly fix so it wont happen again.

I know my Boss, paid $800, do get the Chassis on our Drill rig fixed, that was both Chassis rails cracked, and an Engineer to do it.

My Gq was Cracked there, and a mate welded it up for nothing, so far it has'nt cracked again

to expensive to fix LOL

its thats the case how cheap is he selling them i will take one

ive found all sorts of things i want i pulled a td42 turbo complete blown up out of a ute the other day nd might buy that nd rebuild it to put in my gq too as he only wants wat its worth in scrap metal. turbo pump and all. da boss is away next week but ill see him and see wat i can get if i can get both trolls cheap ill sell one on here.

Cracks are very expensive to fix. especially in a patrol. I will buy them both and save your boss and you a lot of money.

A cracked chassis is not expensive to fix , a comp rig does not need a engineering approval after the work is performed, we have been repairing heaps of torn and cracked GU chassis lately around the coil towers, approx cost is $450 .
Approx $150 for the brace kit and $300 labour ( depending on extent of the damage )
Anyone charging heaps to repair chassis is just ripping you blind!!

I was thinkin the same thing

I agree, repairs are cheap and easy. We have done a few for $250 including bracing.

Do you do these brace kits before the chassis has cracked? What do they consist of? Im interested in bracing the rear end BEFORE it cracks.

hey Mick, on your website it says wagone need 2" body lift, is that just to be able to fit it? As in, could you unbolt the body and lift it, fit the brace then drop the body on its original mounts.

Aside from the triangle gussets down the side it is a copy of the ones I designed. You can fit it by just lifting the cab Mick.

This design you cannot fit in a wagon without a bodylift because the body sits lower than what the top coil hats does. ( it drops down in between)
This one is for the utes or wagon with a body lift.
Early in the new year or if we are lucky this december we will manufacture a bent up member that will fit a wagon without a body lift but a new tailpipe will need to be fitted as it will foul on the tail pipe.

Their is also a full gusset kit we sell that welds in around the coil towers to give additional bracing, so if your towers are not bent even the gusset kit will probably stop the towers bending.
I will try and take some photos of the gussets and post then in the next couple of days.
