Finally the Patrol lives again after a week and a half off the road after "Incident X". Crow high torque Cam, lifters, timing kit, valves, valve springs, surface ground and seats cut, all new...
Pop one end off, pull to full extention and push back to full compression a couple of times. You should be able to feel good even resistance all the way through, If it moves freely or has free spots...
They're not really anything out of the ordinary, they're a pushrod engine and very straight forward to work on, same simple rule as alway's have a nice clean work area clean everything more than...
You wouldn't think there should be a problem with overheating these things have a very open front, 240's are a very common light and I've never heard of any issues in the past.
I've got a Tough Dog adjustable damper in mine and it works great. My Camber/Caster measurements are still very good in mine aswell so no left pull for me yet and I'm just about to hit 380,000klm...
Gas guzzler, Almost thought you were reffering to mine mate, ha ha. nice looking truck, loving the flex out of a vehicle that's not 4 feet off the ground.
Agreed there's just something right about a white GQ. Thumbs up.
Your not local to the South Burnett are you? I'm almost certain I'v seen that around here at some point, that screen banner looks awfully familiar ha ha.
Good looking rig you've got there How do you find the Petrol/Auto combination. I was always after a manual till I got mine now I couldn't be happier with the Auto, have you had any cold shift...
Nice looking truck man, You can't beat the character of the Mighty GQ. And for some reason they just look right in white, looking forward to seeing some more picci's.
Tough lookin truck mate. Definetely liking the front bar, Big improvment.
Nice truck man, Thumbs up for Tough Dog from me, I fit a lot of Tough Dog products at work, It's one of the only brand of suspension that we don't see many if any claims I've got Dobinson in mine ATM...
I have a similar problem with mine so I decided i'd hotwire the clutch with the engine running, air con on, all gased up and still no cold air, these days none of the elec system for the air con...
The factory GQ rear locker have a bad habbit of getting stuck.
These systems do make a huge difference if they are set up right. But do your home work, there are a lot of details to be learned like metal exposed to hydrogen gas for prolonged periods of time...
I'm not incredibly sure with the RB30 models but as for the TB42's yes it's the same engine, no kickdown cable they have a TPS on the carb/throttle body. Other than that, as stated above spigot,...
I've looked into it a bit with my Mav, It's a 4.2 auto and loves to consume fuel. From the info I found the deisels aren't that much better. I got good results from a few thing the best was when...
My Mav sits very similar mate I've got 2" Dobinson lift and the constant load rear springs It takes about 200kgs in the back before it even looks like sitting down in the arse.
Pretty easy to knock up a jig to help line them up too. Couple of old bolts/pieces of bar welded to some scrap RHS with the correct spacing. you'll be glad you made it if you get home and realize...
Another recommended way to learn is to join an active 4x4 club and go on some runs, tell the boys your new to the game and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help you get you head around it.
It's always a good idea even swinging off spanners all day long, always keep gloves, sleaves, and glasses near by, God know's what would have happened to me by now if I did'nt.
Thought I'd throw up a pic of the Mav. Not a lot special, 2" Dobinson suspension. Ironman snorkel and homemade bar. It's a TB42 auto. Heaps of fun and naturaly I have a long list of todo's. I'm sure...
If I had to choose between the two I'd go for the MT's, They are a brilliant tyre as are the Cooper's, terrific off road performance and they don't have the "Cooper Left Pull" which is no fault of...
Width and offset are really dependent on what size tyre you plan on running? Also it's a good idea when shopping for steel wheels to splurge a bit and get the decent ones such as the ROH Trax....
