Hey mate. I have done this conversion and yes, the mounts are different. We cut them out of the doner car and welded them into my wagon. Wasn't that hard just have to make sure you take measurements...

Ah yeah. Probably should have asked if you knew of them before writing that novel. Ha ha. Ah well. Might be news to someone else who reads it. The wife and I stayed at uluru 4 nights and that was...
G'day mate. Just a suggestion. I am selling 4 inch coils and shocks. Asking 600. I'm in Victoria so not sure what freight will cost ya? If your interested I could look into freight. If not no worries
Hey Westy I have a couple of apps for you that are pricless.
First one is Wikicamps. It looks like google maps but with every thing from roadside camps, to bush camp sites, to caravan parks. It...
PRICE DROP. $600 for forum members. Want them gone :-)
@ Clunk. Thanks mate actually hadn't thought of gumtree. The wife tried Facebook but got nothing but stupid offers of swaps.
@ Sooty. I completely understand what you are saying mate. I always try...
Hi everyone. Not getting any interest so if you think I'm asking too much please make me an offer. You can contact me on, 0429947854 - Danny
To buy these new from my local suspension shop would cost...
Here are some photos of my wagon with them in. I will be taking them out tomorrow so will post some photos of the springs and shocks then.

Hi everyone, I have for sale my second hand heavy duty 4 inch Dobinson coils and Tough Dog adjustable shocks. Springs are in great condition and ride firm while still very comfortable. Shocks are in...
Its all good MB. I am trying to achieve a happy medium if there is such a thing. The patrol is not a daily driver. It sits in the shed awaiting camping trips. 95% of what I do with it is dragging my...
@ MB Yeah I hear ya mate. I'm thinking 33s on the 4.6s may be too much. But I will take it for a few runs anyway and see how it is. Looked into the taller 5th gear that marks adapers do. Thinking...
Thinking I will see how it goes on the 4.6s with 33s. Should have had them on by now but tyre joint got in the wrong rims. Anyway once I get the defect sticker off I will take it for a spin to...
Hmm. Thats an interesting point of view. As it is now it does 2400rmp at 100ks. Recently i took it to the NT from Vic towing a camper trailer. Not sure on the weight of the trailer but there was a...
Thanks for the replies fellas. 4.11 sounds good for 2200rpm at 100kph. Should sit nicely at around 2350 or so at 110kph then. Would I be better off chasing whole centers and getting my lockers fitted...
Hey guys and gals. On the hunt for some info on diff ratios. I have a TD42 installed in my wagon which was originally a 2.8. Currently running 4.6s i believe ( standard for the 2.8 wagon? ) with...
I found their drill bits to be rubbish. Blunt from factoy it seems and snap easily if you are drilling into anything harder than plastic. Cordless stuff is not the best. Did not last very long, if...
X3 for running it inside mate. I have just done the same thing and it was very easy. In through the passenger side of the firewall and along the top of the sill to the back. All the trims just pop on...
Close mate, Top dead center 👍
Cheers, Danny

Makes me sad, yes I know my GU is definitely over the top but it also is driven everywhere, around town or the bush, with care and safety for my family in mind. I have a 2 and 4 year old and my wife...
G'day mate, just had a browse through this thread and im Impressed with the photos of your products im after a couple of things if your interested? Whats the best way to get in touch with you? No...
Fair enough mate. All I can say about the knock is that mine has the worst knock/rattle that I have heard come from any other TD42. It sounds like tappets but had them adjusted with no difference to...
