Outer Limits 4x4 Board

im in the process of building a hummer replicar on a nissan chassie. just wanted to know what you guys think.

Cool, what are you using for the donor chassis, please say gq or gu, not mq (sorry mk/mq dudes)

Sounds like an awesome project. If you get the time, do a write up on the project, would make for really good reading and future reference.

Pop it on here too:

A lot of trimming to the kit?

I saw one of them about a month ago parked across the road from a workshop in Redcliffe.....really coooooolllll!!

are they classed as ICV's? on rego papers?

What size tyres is the maximum allowed??? Hummers run 35s standard. What about GQ chassis hummers???

TOM

Sounds pretty good mate. what are the hummer bodys made of are the fibreglass or panel still or what?

if they do i stand corrected. Always knew they ran large tyres.. but wasnt sure whether they be 35's or larger.

Meh, the crap on that site is the same crap they level at every other kind of 4x4, and besides it's not that relevant to a hummer replica as opposed to an actual hummer.

I reckon the hummer replicas look okay although I've never seen pics of an interior of one that didn't look absolutely disgusting.

However, I'd rather spend the money on mods that made a GQ more capable, as opposed to more attention-grabbing.

Doing both would be even better.

i do plan on doing a lot of mods : gear reduction, lockers,ratios,suspention,custom bar work, and if all that works well mad engine mods.

sounds cool what did the kit cost you?

sounds interesting... heaps of pics needed

Was just playing around on the net and came across this site

They do the kits for some Patrols to change and look like Hummers.

They need to make the newer models....those hummers are old skool...tough but very old skool....like a MQ....very plain inside and totally box shaped...$10,000 is a lot of money for a body that ain't paint nor is it original!!! and don't forget the Yanks are homeless and use window winders.....or did you miss that there are NO ELECTRIC windows...not even an option!!!! I was going to do the same conversion...but add paint, extras, electric window conversion and the touch your toes price on insurance and then decided to keep those $$$$ in my pocket. If you don't like your patrol - hack it up ....every other mofo does....and its a damm site cheapa!!!! Or are you a street poser from down under...skippy strikes back

Nah I'm staying with my MQ but just saw the post and thort it might help the person who was doing the mod is all.
