Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok guys,

first of all can u help me with the graphics on the side of my rig, i think theyre a bit crap and considering attackign them with the hairdryer and my fingernails? anyone got any better ideas? what are your thoughts?

put these springs in my SWB:


they were the ones i bought from a LWB pajero, sprayed them blue, and voila! they were ablout 10mm shorter or so, but stiffer and hence ended up giving about i dunno somewhere around 2" lift, i forgot to measure before i started and by the time i remembered i have the wheels off, shocks d/c and the diff dropped, so no going back, but it definitely sits higher with the front up 2" the back stands at 545mm from hub centre to guard, and the front about 540mm, so rather level i must say, and the back actually has a better ride than before and the springs i pulled out were in very very good condition, so i doubt they had sagged any heres some piccies, enjoy

Yeah ditch em they look too softroadish
Jabbers are way tougher than any Rav4 or Xtrail

thanks frank, im thinkin too ey, gonna get rid of em, any ideas anyone? hairdryer should fix them, and maybe some prepsol after or metho??? any ideas
?

Remove your front mudflaps and sand blast them off.

hahaha yeh sounds like a plan scott thanks for that

hairdrier has done the trick nicely for me in the past. I am not a bit graphics fan. I have removed every sticker that I could from every car I have owned. I just reckoned they looked cheap. They also look really crap when they start to age a bit.

I like ya springs mate. very snazzy

Cheers
Blake

yeh agreed swaddo,

i think ill do the hairdryer thing, used it before for 'for sale' stickers and stuff off windscreens, and cleaned it up with a bit of prepsol/metho, its all good, though scotts idea of the sandblasting sounded good

Scrap the poofy stripes and fit some Ralliart stickers!! Be proud of the fact that a Pajero won the Paris-Dakar again( Must be what? only ten in a row now?)

They only use Landcruisers for recovery vehciles because they make a good winch point. And I think that the Plastics, oops I mean Prados, all busted their radiator support panels trying to keep up with the Paj's dust trail.

ahahhaha yes greggo, the 'stripes' will be scrapped, but definitely not replaced with the honours of the ralliart decals, im proud, very proud of mitsu, this is the second one iv owned, and i love them, but not the ralliart decals, seen a few on ebay and carsguide dressed in the ralliart attire but

If you look real close at my avtar you'll see the wife's grin as see drives through the water splash, and the ralliart sticker on the bonnet protector.

niiiiiiice

ok forget the 2d rallyart stickers you need some 3d ones

or roof vents

Matt

hows that evo paj! its the one for sale in NZ, dunno about anymore, but its still on www.offroadracing.com.au for sale for like $38k or something, i want it! but sorry matt i dont dig the roof vents

My money tree won't grow, any ideas??

nah neither, mine keeps dying, though at the moment i dont have to work hard for it to produce, thanks dad its good having him as the boss of one fot he worlds largest engineering companies, i get to 'work' for him its boring as shit but atelats it pays well, too bad itll end soon when they move finance to melbourne , but for now greggo i guess we keep watering and feeding, watering and ..... but i really would love that evo paj, it use to be evos i loved, now its evo pajeros, and they just happen to be SWB also and GREGGO i dunno if it makes it better or worse, but its actually $30,000 NZ, which equates to about $27,255.30 AUS or you could buy this one for $19 + $15 p+h

that nm model is kinda cool.

roof vents arn't every ones cup of tea but when your air con doesn't work they are a nice thing to have

Matt

yeh that models alright hey i like it, its one fot he better ones definitely, and man definitely if my air con didnt work id be trying to work oput something else aswell, how are they going by the way? finished? or just tidying up?

If you have any of the pretty blue paint over from the springs you could always spray the entire car THEN remove the stickers.

PRETTY.

not a bad idea there noisey,

but too late removed the stickers yesterday AND cleaned the car! actually washed it! first time since iv had it, looks good, i like it without the stickers, looks heaps better, ill get some pics up soon

What size tires are you running on your rig there in the photos?

Nice job, it looks good!

thanks Vaughan

those would be Cooper ST's 31x10.5x15 on 15" alloys, once they wear im gonna get a set of 33s, and machine up a set of bodylift blocks at dads work

Hey Dean, Andy from bw4wd, Hows it going? Nice blue springs buddy, gunna do any other detail bits under the rig in blue? I reckon a body lift to get 33's in there's the way to go. But if they fit without a b/lift why go to all the bother? wont improve your departure angle with the tow bar there and wont change the ramp over either. All its gunna do is raise your center of gravity which can be a risky thing on a shorty. Remember that big rock climb at killingsworth? you'd feel like u'r gunna flip over backwards. Sticker on the back window looks good!!

gday andy

yeh mate ill see how some 33s go, think i might have to do the b/l but well see, yeh blue springs look alright, ahhaha not going to do anythign else under there blue i dont rekon, but the stickers are off the sides, and the stocker on the back windscreen looks good i like it, whered u see it mate? ahha yeh i remember that climb, i didnt even drive it and i remember it, bags not

ill cya round mate

33's need the body lift as not to scrub in the front.

Rear is fine.

I only saw the sticker on one of your photos.At least the beast will look a bit more serious without the girly stickers on the side. I cant talk though, mine's got stickers on the side too but im using the natural aproach to sticker removal, let the trees, sticks and rocks scratch them off. See ya mate. General meeting on Monday, see who gets voted into the top job, I heard you were in the running for presedent!!
