Outer Limits 4x4 Board

looking at a 97 turbo deisel she is pretty standard in excellent nic little offroad use with 155k on clock what type of price do these go for

And is this a good mod being a rangie owner (sic of breaking cv ) looking for something bigger and stronger preferr deisel any other sugestions

97. is that GQ or GU??

if its GQ - 2.8 - I wouldnt bother.. go a 4.2 and turbo it.

If its GU 3 litre - i wouldnt bother - go a 4.2 turbo

If its a GU 4.2 turbodiesel.. excellent!!!!

thanks for the reply it was a GQ2.8 ill keep looking at the moment

I had a GQ 97 RX 2.8TD it was a great truck ran it with 33's no probs. never missed a beat. I'm still kicking myself for selling it.

The best why to decide is drive one.

I test drove a GQ 4.2D it was yawn S L O W. I bought the GQ2.8TD.

A few years down the track, I test drove a GU 4.2TD. I then test drove the 3.0ltr TDi and bought one, 3.0ltr blows the doors off stock GU6TDi and mines an auto with 35's ....yes auto 'cause I'm a lazy ass.

People will say once you spend $$$$ on the 4.2TDi and it'll go better, spend the same $$$$ on the 3.0TDi and so will it.

Moral of the story is don't listen to anyone, make up your own mind by test driving a few.

Cheers,

Andrew.

or the GU 2.8?

GU 2.8 in theory was good, in reallity that's another story 300kg heavier than the GQ I must admit I have never driven a GU 2.8 but I reckon it'd be on par with a GU 4.2 D.

GU has the electronic fuel injector pump. - can be done up by motsons to get a bit more torque/power out of it.

I went 4.2 because i want to run 36's.

Bogged.. - my mistake.. too much

i bought a 96 GQ 2.8 TD after driving a 4.2D

its amazing how good the 2.8TD goes especially if u keep itin the turbo range

test drive one and see how u like it, for me i upgraded from a suzuki sierra
