Hi Bigrig. I think your username will have to change to "massiverig" soon.Originally Posted by Bigrig
I was talking about the lift and tyres on it in this pic http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...3&d=1290157615
Do you use your tank daily? If so how is the road noise with the mud tyres?
Lordy that was a long time ago mate (about 8 months ago!! lmao!!!).
It looks more like this now ... just missing the sliders that are now on ...

Used as the daily driver mate - noise isn't too bad at all - I guess it's relative to what you're wanting .. if you want the benefit of mud tyres, the offset is wear and noise on the open road.
looks super tough dude. Is it an Auto or Manual? is it much slower now with all the mods? also any ideas or fuel consumption?
Thanks mate - it's an auto. Didn't notice a big difference with the weight as far as power was concerned, but economy took a hit though. It's taken a worse hit now that I've had the other TB42 with turbo put in!!! Plenty more power and torque though, so somewhat happy with the offset on economy. Running straight LPG currently, but fuel system still in it (just no petrol tank).
Update - nothing overly exciting for others to see, but bloody nerve wracking for me!!! lol
Intercooler going in and some major modifying of panel work and custom mounts happening ... I'll update more as it progresses ...

Hopefully the colder intake air will let a bit more play be had with the timing etc and we'll see what it's throwing out next week when it gets fully dyno'd and tuned ...
Can't wAit mate pump that puppy
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
Me either mate - its running 'fairly' well currently, but with the intercooler, proper mapping of the timing curve and some tuning, it should be giving a few rice burners a bit of a shock!!! lmaoCan't wAit mate pump that puppy
Well, the intercooler is in and Tank breathed to life late today!!! Unfortunately, the radiator decided it had enough of these temporary fixes to leaks and really let go!! New alloy number going in tomorrow and the front end going back together (as well as some serious tuning).

Grill has copped some MAJOR plastic surgery, so hopefully what I've done (drying overnight ... eeeeekkkk) will turn out OK and I'll leave the opinion up to you when I get some photos ... it's pretty full on!!!

Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
