Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all
have just done my first 4wd body lift on my NH paj and would just like to say if it wasnt for this forum i would still be under my paj trying to work it all out.

Thanx guys





Next is the custom winch bar have just bought an old arb bullbar and im going to cut the wings off and do some bar work to it ill post pics of it being built and on the car.

Looks Good

In your last pic, it appers as there is a larger gap between the lights on the drivers side compared to the passenger side.

Is this to show the difference with one side done and one not???

btw it looks great, and I cant wait to do mine

no had to put some bolts in that side i had to wait to get home to put them in all fixed now

good stuff. got any side on pix?

here is a side on pic the back is sitting low because the susp is fu##ed and i have all my tools in there welder cutoff saw compressor from doing the lift in my father in laws shed

Started on my winch bar today bought a bull bar from a panel beater on monday for $50 and started on the mods today with my new 9" grinder here are some pics

the bits that got cut off



the bit im keeping to hold the winch

Owww man, I want the top part you chopped off the bar!!! I'm building one this weekend and that would go so nicely!


Shame about location!

it is a shame
you could have it for nothing cause its just going to the dump

hahahaha well done nh,

what uv done is chopped up something you couldve sold to fund a full tube bar or the like im sure NJV6 wont be the only disappointed fellow, but $50 sure was a good buy for an ARB winch bar, mine was $200 off here from redrocket and i thought that was good at the time, well done

dean

nice looking body lift, do u have more pics of the bodylift. did you have to move much.

Got some more done on the winch bar today then it started to rain
this is what i got done



and for NCpaj the body lift was realy easy if you do a search on the forum for body lift you will find all the info you need search is your best friend

man,

although you cut up an arb winch bar, it does look GOOD! i like the look of that heaps

dean

body lifts really do make the paj much sexier. The only concern I have is getting someone to custom make new brackets for the bullbar and rear bumper. I cant stand seeing body lifts without the front and rear bumers adjusted accordingly, really tarnishes the first impression.

How long did it take you?

33s next on the list i assume?

The body lift isn’t that hard it took me about 8 hrs all up all you have to do is pull some of the break lines through the 2 front guards undo the bracket on the fuel filler hose take off the back bumper and take the fan shroud off and cut the bottom out so the fan don’t hit it. Then undo all the body bolts on one side the front one is the hardest to get out. What I did was got another bolt the same size stuck it back through the hole and hit it till the body bolt came out the other side the other 5 bolts come out really easy. After you get them all out jack up one side of the truck by the body till the lift blocks fit in. replace the nuts and bolts with 140mm X 10mm HT bolts and locking nuts tighten them up and do the same on the other side. As for the transfer shifter I just cut into the body and the centre console to get it into 2wd (but you can bend them) and I extended both shifters 50mm.

The brackets for the front bumper took about 1hr to make not that hard.

And yes 33” X 12.5” tyres going on soon can’t wait.

You make it sound easy
The side on pic looks sic i think it makes a big differance I cant wait till i start mine

its done

winch gets here some time at the end of the week

Very well done mate
I gotta say that looks farkin sensational and tough as

not a bad approach angle you have there

You should move the radiator down so the fan pulls air through the shroud as set by factory. If you leave the radiator up and cut the shroud, you can affect the cooling of the radiator. Its not a hard job, just redrill the mounting holes after you have emptied the core.

I don't usually like tube bars that much, but your conbination ARB/tube looks sweet!

yeh nice lookin bar are u going to make some kind of rear bar aswell cos the nh departure angle is shocking

i am going to make a rear bar after the rock sliders but the ball and chain wants me to finnish of the box trailer first before doing anything more to the truck

sounds like you are going to have a sweet little package after all the bar work!

Damn I want one!!

Did you bend the tube yourself? What size tube did you use (O/D and I/D)?

I used 2" and 3" pipe 3.6mm thick wall and i bent the 2" pipe and got the 3" pipe bend for me by a friend.
I just put in the second battery pain in the a$$ cause i had to shift my compressor.

wanna put up how you did your battery??? i spent a fair whack of today trying to install and had all the bracketry done, but then the terminals hit on the bonnet ill end up mounting it the way you have, but it took a while to figure that out

dean

Dean I made my own battery cradle up and fixed it to the side of the battery tray in the truck.

so did you bolt the new tray to the already existing tray??? or just the firewall? any supporting brackets underneath going to the wheel guard? what size is that second battery looks small...? did you take photos of the setup? sorry bout the questions,

iv bought a second hand battery tray the same as the existing one and going to cut the side out of it, closest to the firewall and weld in the new tray up to the firewall and run supports down to the wheel guard im thinking, i had the battery running with the firewall perpindicular to the existing, but like i said it hit the bonnet, its a 75a/h century weighs, i dunno prob 25-30kg but yeh when i get it done, ill put up photos, perhaps this wkend? maybe

any more description or photos or diagrams definitely wouldnt go unappreciated

dean

i bolted it to the existing tray with a support to the guard it is only a small battery i have it setup so if the main battery is low on power when i turn the key the samll battery kicks in so i can still start the truck. Ill take some more pics and post them up soon.
