Outer Limits 4x4 Board

why are you keeping the coily over the leafy?!?! youre mad! =)

Coily is a round town car, the leafy was the project off road fun zook.
I still need a daily driver and unfortuanatly circumstances will prevent me from doing any 4x4 for a whiles yet.....

In an ideal world I'd keep the leafy for ...

Grave dig.... only cause I'm selling the Blue Zook :cry:

I practicly got given a 1996 coil sprung Zook a couple of months after buying the blue one and it has been gathering dust not long after that.

Any one interested in her here is the link

Oh bogged I would dearly love too, believe me I would get extreme joy in doing that as sadly my shorty GQ got stolen in November last year from outside my girlfriends apartment :cry:

Have a zook as a fill in till later this year when I get my hands on a GQ with a TD42 in good nick......

anyhoo ...

Just been told by a mate looking to purchase a set of 15" steel rims that he was advised by salesman (don't know where or who) they will rub/touch the brake calipers....

06 GU Patrol, 3L Turbo Diesel.


Can this be done or is the salesman correct?

It would be worth the $3 toll for you to drive to Artarmon and see Eddy and Chris at Artarmon Automotive.

Great guys, know their 4wds very well. Don't charge anything unfair.

Cheers I'll keep them in mind if I get stuck but really looking withing the area of my work/home situation of the Shire ...

Firstly I'd like to say well done, your efforts do make a big difference rather than having no information at all over PA.

I would like to hear next year an announcement every time a team is starting a stage. Even if this means cutting over 'commentary' of another stage.
It happened sporadically ...

Moved to Chit chat........ better luck getting an answer there

Firstly it feels strange to be in the Suzuki section...... but I'll learn to love ya's ;)

Since my SWB GQ Patrol got stolen in November and I recived a mediocre payout from NRMA I din't have too much to play with to get another 4by so grabbed a zook to tide me over for a year or so till the right ...

Thanks a million guys.

I'll be looking at around $250 then from both Suspension Stuff and Superior Engineering. Both are 32mm outer, 20mm inner.

I bent my drag link on the weekend, now the steering wheel is left a 1/4 turn.

Instead of bending it back straight I'm thinking it may be an idea to get an after market replacement.

Can anyone give me rough price I'll be paying for these days and a recommendation of brand, cheaper the better for ...

How many amp will the new one put out though??

In fairness I should say quick compared to a more road friendly tyre.
My BFG M/T's wore fairly quickly as well when I had them always on around town. But the Kumho's I feel are faster wearing than BFG M/T's.

how are people finding these now? got a mate after some "budget" tires in 285's..

He would love MTR's/MTZ/Xterrain and yea the false economy of buying cheap tires yadda ;)

Still going good for me, I run two sets of tyres (town and play) so they are seeing mostly off road work.

Left em on for a ...

How this never ended up in Chit Chat I'll never know

wasn't there a thread a few months back about a whole heap of TJM winches stolen? :?

Wellllll, hmmmm, how bout that, there is a police officer cruzin this site i can't remember his user name but am sure someone would, maybe they should flick him a PM if he hasn't already heard that is.

RN is ...

$240 each

Got a set of KL71 in 33" last friday............ then drove down to Yalwal that evening and gave them a run through mud and over rock all in wet conditions.

I'm happy with how they went especially in in the mud.
Like the sidewalls, felt them working after slipping sideways on a muddy climb out of ...

@ Jaffa, when he is running a filter the air comes from the side, thats right isn't it ...

I thought you were still running nothing, how much dust you reckon you swallowed so far

I'm sorry to hear of what happend and I hope the club you speak of isn't the Southern Tablelands 4WD Club......

If what you speak of about lack of friendly women, inviting atmosphere and Cliquey then it has gone down hill in a big way from the Club I remember in the 80's-90's.

None of the wires are used, the earth wire is not needed in a non points setup.

I removed that and keep it with my spare points, the rest are taped up outside and cable tied to the new wires for the Lobe sensor.

The ruber gromit where the wires come in to the dizzy I made an inscision in to remove ...

I am going to give this a try myself since the 1762LS doesnt require any grinding and cutting.

But to confirm can someone who has fitted the 1762LS tell me if I am not correct?


No grinding or cutting, points come out, 1762LS drops in.
You will need to remove some of the wires associated with ...

33's should

You have experience of this?

On my shorty 33's would rub on full articulation with 2". I have 4" lift and its fine.

If you want them to work, you'll need bigger than 2" unless you want to get creative with a grinder.

Just driving around town "might" be OK though.

I've got 3" lift ...

a fully compressed LWB GQ is a height measurement not a length one.

probably the worst question ever asked, please try again.

probably the worst reader i have seen, please note length of compressed tailshaft so reading that again since when has a tail shaft measurement been in height :?: :D ...

OK guys,

I have spoken to ness, one of the organisers, and she said...

Camping in available AT THE SHOWGROUNDS BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS.

but...

NO FIRES AT ALL!

Gas cookers are fine for meals.

Gas cookers are great to COOK with.
But you cant all sit around a gas burner having a ...

Got the weekend off so I'll come up, where are people camping/staying?
