what were they worth?

Dunno.. I just told the bloke I wanted spotties to fit the ARB bar. Ebay is telling me $360 for the pair. I think they are cheapies in the grand scheme of things.

Not bad though. im gonna do a row of small light force on my roll bar, and two on the front bar

Hey bigears, you on www.mudrhino.com.au?? (http://www.mudrhino.com.au??) anyway this is about the first time I've posted on here in a long time 1989 GQ Patrol, TD42 Intercooled, 20psi Boost, 36" Simex ET's on Beadlocks, Highmount Winch, Front ARB Air Locker This Video was of the Otways in 2009, one of the more challenging tracks, this was before I had a front locker and a turbo...

Nice, I was just going to get whatever I could find and paint them black powdoer coat would probably be better.

"The ferns" talk about all year round slush id have to say in the winter it would be impossible with any rig. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Still I like the way it goes, don't have to drop back gears going up hills etc etc, but seeing as I like to make stuff go faster and when I tow the race car I still want to be able to over take. What are my options for powering it up. Does anyone have products they have used that they would be happy to recommend? This thread isn't just for my D-Max.. show and tell what you have Get the DP chip, 3inch exhaust k+n air flow up grade the cooler, if you want more put gas on it ! Got the nissan patrol factory 4.2l diesel it runs 3inch bueadessert exhaust custom front mount intercooler bit more pump timing, more fuel, made 138hp at the rears and 780Nm torque on 12psi. still nice and safe. its a bit slow off the line as they all are. but i can sit beside any new hyandai excel or lancer from 50kms upwards it will even give an old commy a run for its money !! When i throw the car trailer and the vl on the back, its not even like its on there, i can drop it back a cog on the high way and over take with ease all the way to 150kms in 4th. I have wonder her up to 185kph on the high way THE BIGGEST THING WITH A DIESEL IS YOU HAVE TO MONITOR YOUR EXHAUST GAS TEMP AND BOOST !!!! START MAKING THEM COOK UP NEAR 650DEGREE'S C BEHIND THE TURBO (ROUGHLY 850 900 CORE) YOU WILL START MELTING PISTONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---------- Post added 24-05-11 at 11:08 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by bigears [View Post] tb 4.2 gt35 ,44mm tial gate full sequential ice ignition ( so it runs under water) motec m600 and a few other bits and pieces, It goes pretty good WHat power does the tb42make, i have been thinking of getting a family daily patrol and doing the whole t04z on. go arab drift patrol style on it really.

that's mad - what's in it motorwise? what rim/tyre is that?

Runs a datto donk and box with the zook transfer case, good old kubota tyres, bit of a mud pig

Hey guys, I've got a 2006 jeep wrangler, it's got all terrain tyres on it, manual not sure it's if got a lift kit. Wondering how they go off road? Anyone been in one off road before. I'll post up pics tommorrow

doesnt really compare to the 'real 4wd' in this thread. haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Had a 4wd training course with work last week, was pretty decent. Old mate that ran the course had a Jeep as a daily and wouldnt shut up about it. I've only just gotten my old busted ass B2600 running. Now I just have to figure out if it's worth the cash to get it into an offroad pig.

I just put BFGs on my ute. Cant wait to hack up some terrain!

A mate just sent me this link, it looks pretty decent for finding out where tracks are. http://www.4x4earth.com.au/

On another note, Anyone here got themselves an LED Lightbar? I've been looking into spotties, but the light bars just look insanely good. The price is outrageous though, I'd only be chasing a 10" one.

Now with 33's

A few good tracks down my way. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=4x...c& hl=en&aq=f (http://www.google.com.au/search?q=4x4+labertouche&tbo=p&tbm=vid&source=vgc&hl=en&aq=f)
