Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks for the info, liked the idea of the condute until I had a think of how I would transport it , don't have roof racks so makes it a tad difficult. something which folds down would be ok, just a matter of having a think, if not a commercially made one may be the go, seems a tad over kill for a ...

Anyone know where these can be bought , or even info on making one, like what to use for a pole etc

Sorry for the hijack! but!
Oxy3gn! where did you get the keyed latches??
As I have just installed a single draw besides my fridge box and still have
fit a latch!
I'm having some trouble sourcing what I want to fit :x

Yup, bought em at Bunnings, can't remember the price but it couldn't have been ...

Just recently fitted up an ironman 9500 lowmount onto my GQ which has (or had ) a non winch ARB bar. I had the orig bar modified to accept the winch, worked out way cheeper than buying a new bar and no hassles of offloading the orig bar. All in all it came up ok. have linked to a picture as I have ...

made a drawer system for my GQ about a year ago, best thing I have ever done to it . has been on one major trip and lots of weekendsrs, worth its weight in gold.
I used ply for the drawers and box section. used steel ...

Ok the job is done :)
I cheated and took the bar to Cheezys and got the work done there. Weighed up the option of DIY and wasn't worth the effort. I had to repaint the bar and just fit it all up. Only down side is the roller fairlead sticks out a bit but will be changing it over to a HAWSE Fairlead ...

Just fitted one to my GQ. havn't used it to recover anything as yet but sure seems ok for the price. I bought mine through Bursons and paid $605 Inc GST. This is with trade discount. Will report on it once I give it a work out.
This may be a while coming as it is only on a touring GQ which ...

Just bought a 9500 Lb ironman winch for my GQ. Still to mod bar to make it fit as I have a non winch ARB steel bar.
Got the winch for $605 inc GST , kinda helps being in the trade sometimes.
Looks to be well made but the proof will be in the pudding. Am happy with the 3 year Wty. if it is crap ill ...

i have an old stile arb bullbar that has been modified to suit a winch it has big peice of 7mm flat welded to the bottom of the centre of the bar where the winch bolts to it has some reinforcing on it and has a cut out and 4 bolts for the fairley, im taking the bar off this sat so i can take a few ...

Thanks for the replies. 60serius What did the joint in greens road charge to make up the cradle for your 60? I am pretty capable with the mig so wouldn't mind weighing up the cost of a pre made cradle/adaptor as opposed to getting in there with some decent plate and making my own.

Bogged, if you ...

Have a ARB non winch bullbar on my GQ and was looking into the idea of modding it to fit a 9000lb lowmount .
Looking at the bar it may be possible to fab up a kind of cradle to sit between chassis rails and sandwich between bar and winch. I realise I have to cut out a hole for the cable to go ...

Not a top idea fitting the v8 up with gas. besides the exagerated valve wear the cost of a back fire 9via inlet0 is hidious. Had to put a new air cleaner in a customers v8 100 and cost was about $920. Sure made the savings of converting and running on gas a non event

ARB as it will accept a 10,000 lb winch. Fitted a 80 up today and there was no way a 10,000 would fit on a TJm. had to downsize to a 9000 lb.

Here is a pic of the duel setup I had in my old Paj. Basicly extended the orig battery tray in length and added some "legs" to secure and suport it.

I paid $220 + freight for barley used 2 inch lovells springs and shockers off the O/L for sale board in Feb this year. Had had about 5000 km use and were in top condition.
just a note, if you have insurance check with your insurance as to weather your insurance will be valid with the extra lift.

But, I just got 4lt/100km towing the buggy on a car trailer through the snowy mountains :shock: Weird, but Im not complaining ;)

Paid 60c/ltr for LPG today :x[/quote]

Where was that Shorty? Filled my LWB in Melbourne today, had 10L remaining in tank prior to filling , cost me $28.85. Gas was 39.7 ...

Get about 350 km out of my GQ TI LWB. Have 31' MT tyres on. As for petrol coffin belly tank only holds 55L so at 22l/100 Km do the maths. Gas tank in rear is not a prob and dosn't seem to mind getting a knock from a nasty exit every now and then.

the petrol tank in mine is a long rectangular tank ...

9 out of ten times repco can supply an OE equivilant

Bit of an update. Ended up making own loom. Used original wiring to switch 2 relays (one high and one low) which were wired up to new h4 semi sealed beams via 5 mm wire. Used two 20A circuit breakers to supply relays direct from the battery.
All went well worked a treat using narva 100/130 w globes ...

if using a dwell meter set dwell to 40 deg, more accurate than gapping as everyone seems to have their own feel on feeler gauges

Nicely done, are you securing the draws down at all?[/quote]

They weigh a fair bit and most likely would not move. I have used the origional seat belt lower mounting holes and put bolts in from outside into locator holes in the side of the drawer box. this stops any forward/backward and upward ...

They are all good ideas, I want to make something as well soon.

Where is a good place in Melb to get all of the rails and handles etc for draws that long and heavy?

I made my rails out of 50x25 mm galvinised box section from the local steel joint in Berwick. Bought bearings ( 10 per drawer ...

Am interested to se ewhat others have made up in the way of rear storage in their nissans. Spent the last few weekends knocking up roller drawers and false floor. Finally got sick of packing/unpacking wagon on family trips every time we stoped and the kids wanted something out of the back.
Any pics ...

thanks for the info. Was hoping they would use relays from factory which could be upgraded. Bogged refers to hair thin wiring so the mind is mad eup, will re wire it using relays switched off orig wiring.

Am upgrading my sealed beams in the GQ to semi sealed and trying to find info on how much current the factory wiring will handle.
I would like to run 130w/90w globes in the lights and have worked out at 13.8 volts high beam will draw 9.4 amps per lamp and at 90w for low it will be 6.5 amps per lamp ...

Sounds like a top buy. As for getting you to fraser next month, if you do get there keep an eye out for a burgundy over gold GQ LWB. Heading up from Melbourne 17 Th Sept first night on fraser ment to be Sept 19.

Just grab the genuine nissan condenser and a set of points. I tried the non gen ones and they were crap, started playing up at arround 1500 km. genuine is only 14 dollard and come with loom for condenser. No probs since.

once the airbag ecu logs a code the light will stay iluminated untill the code is cleared/ problem resolved. A code could be something as simple as remove instrument cluster with ign on and air bag ecu seeing an open circuit in the warning lamp circuit and logging a code. Will take a dealer 2 ...

when you say toyota says they will not pay, is it the dealer denying the claim or have they put it to TMCA and it has been rejected by a feild assessor ?
