Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thought maybe we should have a more serious post. They can't all just take the piss out of bjwagon.jpg (purple hi-roof thing)

30mm solid tie rod with GU cab-chassis rod ends to replace 24mm hollow stocker that was bent enough to be hitting the fins on the carrier at LH lock

30mm solid draglink with the same ends to replace 22mm cast, non-adjustable stocker with flogged out ends for that steer now/move later feeling..

nice

Badly designed bracket for steering damper made after way too many beers with these enhanced features:
Not enough room left for gusseting once the bushes and pin are in.
Awesome two-tone paint sprayed with aerosol cans rescued from the bin because I forgot to buy paint........

Pic of the whole thing so some american stoner can drag it up in a few years and make fun of me! 8)

No ugg-boots in the photos from the southside, 2CAR!

i like how you "rescued" them from the bin must be a northside thing

the boot in the picture wasnt half deliberate I was awaiting for an UGG boot call, nice steering stabiliser mount, but aren't steering stabilisers, just "band aids" plus who needs one of them, the ram should do that job

what did the whole exercise end up costing you from start to finish?

Waaayy too much. I now have to sweep chimneys over the Xmas break so I can afford porridge and cider.

i know what ya mean, ill be pimping my chimney sweeping skils over christmas (mainly new years though)

im on bread and water

porridge and cider, is definitely for the brown sugar classes

With the bend in your front link and my hi steer the front link would be on an angle the other way.
Steering dampener whats that Isnt that a Hydro ram.
Steering Im only going to say it once HEIMS.

Dear Carlton,

We have received a report from the South about some Yahoo terrorising the huddled masses in some modified POS. Please report to the North for inspection or we will fine you more than your house is worth. Also, find enclosed a permit that allows you to be on the North side of the lake, and note that it is valid for one day only between the hours of 8:30 and 4:00 on the day of the inspection.

Cheers

Wendle, I've just bought a complete cab/chassis draglink (the one behind the diff) with the same tie rod ends. It's a 32mm by 6 or 6.5 thick wall thickness tubing so is much more substantial than the original wagon one.
It cost me $220 all up and I was wondering how it compared to buying the heavy duty tie rods separately.
Regards Andrew.
ps, if you think the GQ wagon drag links are weak, compare them to the GU. The GU ones are much smaller again.

The off-the-street-bloke price when I went into Nissan myself was $110 each!
Overkill Sam bought these ones for me, I think he payed about $80 each or something??
6mm should be OK. I have bent two of the stock ones in 6 months and both were from dragging the axle tube over something and then having it slam into the tie rod as the axle falls over it..
I don't think they are more than about 4mm wall, though..

Your hi-steer is a self fuelled urban myth - Sasquatch Engineering PTY LTD -
You were meant to show it to me at woodpecker, I am still standing in the paddock there typing this on a laptop & waiting to see it.

Seriously, is it done now?? Get photos if it is..

Did you tap the Nissan box for your hydro, Or swap something else in? I forgot to check it out at XRCC

i want to see the sasquatch engineering high steer aswell

PICS cheezy!

Heims I'm only going to say it once REGO

I have heims on all my links engineered, but using them on the steering I think I may be pushing my luck?? dunno. Are you keeping yours registered??

Yeah? I guess you can't defect a horse. :wink:

Where was said inspection station?

at the back of phillip, behind where the car yards are.

Ok you all caught me out, no hi steer and no hydro, all just an urban myth that the sasquach is hiding. Spose I may as well throw that POS steering thing on my shed floor away, as for EZ steering that was no hydro at XRCC, Im just getting stronger, way stronger.

Schwarzenegger Steering Solutions!
The latest product from Sasquatch Engineering

Nah, your hydro works awesome.. I though the tie-rod was gonna bend though..

Tierods gone, I didnt think they would last either, so I had 6 spare in the truck amongst alot of other things at XRCC.

6 spare tie-rods!! Awesome. So are you still using the nissan steering box?? Trying to work out where to tap into the bastard now. Much harder than toyota stuff..

damn you are one strong sasquatch, cause you were shifting those 39s easy

Wendle
The tie rods ended up costing me $95 each.
You should have told me you sweep chimneys we could have worked something out as mine is blocked.

Is it a proper brick chimney, or a modern metal flue?? I am pretty thin but the metal ones are just a bit too tight

$95 is still pretty dear, I guess. They are a very high quality bit of gear though.
One strange thing. All the clamp bolts on them had different sized heads? Same diameter and thread pitch, just different size heads.. Weird, man..
