Gidday Big Pig. Sorry about slow reply. The 35" Simex are the bomb. If I want to spin them I need to be in low ratio but otherwise oh my god. These are awesome. I drove through bogs I did not imagine...

OK whats the rocker switch next to the diff lock do? &^%$#d if I can figure this one out. I will need to trace some wires etc however would like to have a read and see if there are any of those... So...
G'day. I have an 89 GQ Y60 (Recently purchased). I can tell you everything regards the mighty MQ however have not much experience with the GQ. Was wondering why it had 2 x handbrakes then discovered...
I have a mate who has used revolver shackles very successfully on his MQ. He uses it as a comp rig and keeps up with the big boys and has never had an issue with these shackles. The articulation is...
Nice truck and very nice clean work. Looking through the pics it shows how well this truck is set up for you and your style of driving and trips. You would have thought the landy could have driven...
Hi Grey Ghost. Yes the MQ's are all getting a bit sad although there is a guy local to where I live that has an 83 in pristine condition. He had it up for sale recently for $15K. No takers but what a...
Hi Ash. Nice looking truck. I will be interested in seeing the progression of this vehicle as time goes by. Some good threads in the DIY parts re sliders and bars.
Hi Glen. I'm pretty new to this forum too. I can tell you there is a huge amount of knowledge and help to be had here. Ask and you shall receive (Probably more info than you realised). Welcome.
Hi Sam. Good to see another whale being put to good use. There are a couple of good threads regards sliders in the DIY section. Sounds like you have some good plans for this beauty although hope you...
Hi John. Welcome to the forum. You want to learn something about your Troll. Youve come to the right place. These guys really know their stuff.
Had never heard or thought of doing this. Wow. I am going to start building me one tonight. Thanks a bunch for the ideas guys. Bloody awesome.
These are similar to mine although mine use 50x25 RHS sections. These sound light but on the high lift I can jack up the complete side with no issues. Also a flatter profile. To date no issues with...
Bugger You guys have some strict rules. Here in NZ we can pretty much do as we want with out trucks. I have front and rear cuts (Bars tuck under nicely) 3" shocks, 2" body lift, aftermarket turbo. No...
My truck has 3" suspension and 2" body lift. It has not made for any less stability as realistically the weight of the body is not that much. Yes it has lifted the centre of gravity marginally (Maybe...
Nice looking truck there mate. Keep us posted regards futher mods to get that extra flex you are looking for.
Had a set a few years back and have to say they were pretty good when new especially when down around 12-15 pounds. Never lost a bead. However they are not that tough and after a couple of years all...
I am running 33's at the mo and have just got my hands on a set of nearly new 35" beadlocked Simex's. I am using them for the first time in a couple of weeks (GQ). I will let you know results. May...
Nice looking collection. Good taste getting that Stihl. Remember everyone quality tools will pay for themselves many times over. Nothing worse than snapping the tool that you desperately need and...
Hi Karel. Welcome to the forum. The rainforest challenge is definately on my Bucket list. My Simex's came from this comp.
Wow. What a weapon. Thanks for all the pics and info. Most appreciated.
Looks very nice. Sitting very nicely. Now all it needs is some good steel wheels with 35's and a few dents and scratches. A bit of liberally applied mud would not go amiss. Look forward to seeing the...
Gave it a wash. Topped up oil. Removed and refitted the turbo oil feed as it was leaking. Tomorrow must adjust the handbrake as it is so slack that on the flat in gear it just rolls along. Will check...
Thanks for the heads up. Will make sure that all phots posted anywhere of my pride and joy are unidentifiable.
Welcome to the real trucks. Once you get used to the Mighty Mighty Nissan you will never go back. Looking forward to following the build.
Glad that's not my truck. Would rather be the one that tried to swim in the first photo.
