Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Howdy,

Looks like im going to get an MQ. Looking for a 3.3 TD 5sp. Anyone know any 'got yas' with theses?

I hear a rumour that when these are body lifted they have a tendonsy to brake chasis mounts?

You will have fun with one of the toughest 4by's ever made.. Break chassis mounts
whoever told you that is a knobber

Rust is your biggest enemy.

But generally it's only in the body, which is generally easy to repair - so just be wairy of it.

Check the bible there is a good thread on what to check for when buying one.

chassis mounts do break for the front spring hangers

with the front spring hangers when you get one clean them up really well and reweld them .......

Look out for rust....I wouldn't be too concerned with rust in the bottum sills and radiator support panel but would run if I saw it in the roof run as this isn't as easy to fix. there are still some good ones out there.

Buy yourself a good swb sd33T 5sp MK.
2in spring lift and 2in body lift and some minor trimming of the front guards and you can install 35's.

The sd33t will push the 35's easy and to make it better offroad install some 4.6's in the diffs from a 2.8 or sd33 and you have some offroad gearing back...

Really are a fun toy to cut you teeth on........

Good luck James
