Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If you had a standard 4by, and were only allowed to do three mods what would they be?


b4 u ask , no the mrs is not lettin me do only 3 mods, I'm just curious!!

tyres, suspension and rear locker

unless its a diesel, then scrap the locker for a snorkel

Agreed.

what tyres,suspension, etc

Tyres, rear locker and winch (assuming you have a coil sprung machine)

33,s 2inch lift and lockers. You could always make your own snorkel up.

200" custom tyres, 5000 cubic inch V24, locked unbreakable diffs.

speaking strictly about my mav shorty, id say 33x12.5x15 MTR's, procomp shocks and 3 inch dobinsons coils(plus whatever else i needed to complete lift) and a snorkel..

the mtr's are just awsum for everyday and offroad use, procomp shocks are bloody good, and for that size lift i wouldnt be spending up on the big tuff dog ralphs unless i was going for a bigger than 3 inch lift. and a snorkel will make air flow and river crossings etc better..

lockers are awsum in any car, but the nissan lsd is so bloody good it would be further down my list of mods than in the top 3..

I'd do big exhaust tip, porn star sticker and air freshener

different on every car

tyres, rancho shocks low gearing

blue neon lights, blow off valve and fluffy dice

What mods depends on where you want to go, what fourby you have, what is done to it already when you buy it.

It would help if you give us some more info about these things.

Dump it, 25" wheels & a fully sic stereo. Choco it right up.

Toyota FJ45..... 18 " Coilovers allround (5 link front, A frame rear) Rear locker and some 37x15x15 boggers or size close to that.

On a budget zook,

welded diffs, tyres, body saw

f&r lockers and the biggest tires you can fit on, chop if needed

aye...

when you say 3 mods.

its pretty obvious... lift and tyres are always goin to be the top two. The majority of the responses above have lift and tyres.

the 3rd mod.. that should be of personal preference... choices are ...

air locker front
air locker rear
UHF and aerial
vehicle armoury (bullbar, sliders rear bar etc)
incar entertainment
recovery gear (eg winch, recovery kit etc)

List is practically endless,

But given the choice, id' keep the wife happy by puttin an in car entertainment system consisting of a dvd or something to keep her pre occupied while you go about your business driving your toy

TOM

18" rims, cut springs to lower suspension, monster tacho with shift light - on toyota tercel

seriously what you modify depends a lot on the kind of driving you want to do. if you want to hit the rocks, tyres, gears and lockers. if sand is your thing, engine power ups will come first. if you're into mud, you're an idiot and you should give your 4WD to someone else. if you want to tour, storage, suspension and fuel range might be your priorities.

pft. limits are for the weak. upside down is where it's at! preferably caused by doing something dumb!

1.Locker REAR
2.Locker FR
3.Rockhoppers

well ute mad i thought you would at least include a tow rope for your izusu so you could get it towed back to the building site where it belongs

I'll ignore that comment...........Obviously you're just in a bad mood because your sheep rejected you today

nah they're not bad wagons we have em at work they go real well with the right hand pedal touching the floor!!!

A good driver can get a relatively stock car further or equal to a crap driver in a modded car so i would do these mods and go from there. I would also place recovery gear, uhf and compressor at the top of the list but not really a vehicle mod.

1) Buy good suspension, not necessarily that high maybe 1-2in lift soft and flexible

2) Decent tyres, not necessarily big or aggressive

3) Bullbar and rear bar
