Pad? lol i feel noob not knowing what this means :/

Just to start it off. What tires and rims do you fellas run, how many swap from a road tire to a track tire when you want to go bush? And what have you found to be the tire of choice for you and what you drive please state also the driving condition you run that tire on. I have try'd a couple now i dont have a on/off road tire cause im broke and can only afford the one set lol I currntly am running 35x12.5x15 Maxxis Creepy Crawlers and am definitly in love with them off road but on road handleing can get a little exciting at times and road noise aint to bad when you think about the agression that tire has, i run mostly irt/rocky tracks with an occasion of mud and iv found them to be pretty good in the mud but i think they excell more on the rock crawling, they hate sand as i find out everytime i touch the crap they bite down and next thing you know your not going any where so i try not to stop at all unless its on the firmer sand areas. Im running these tires on 15x10 neg44 offset rims i personally believe the rim is to big for the tire because as soon as you air down the beads roll off like butter in a hot fry pan. optionaly i would like to try them on a 15x8 neg30 rim with a beadlocker and really get the tires running low PSI so they can work to there fullset. I will be going up to a 37" tire soonish and want to stick with the creepys as they have provin a very nice tire so far, but i think i might try the treps in the comp sticky spec, they seem to be the favourit amoung comp trucks so they must be good. My favourit budget tire is definitly the Federal Couragers which range from small to 35" bias tire, when i was running Feds they where a very good all round tire with very minimum on road noise, i had 31x10.5 on 15x8 rims and then 33x12.5 on the same rims and unfortunitly didnt get the chance to try the 35" bias but seen a few runnign them and seem to be getting some good K's so far. So what do you got? and like?

i joined that nissanpatrol forum ages ago and it was crap (just my opinion) then i found patrol4x4 and loved it there its a shame its dying in the arse cause the virus crap i still go visit it even tho i put my comp at risk everytime just hope all the lads follow suit and come this way as there is a ton of very nice and honest helpful guys amoung the forum and hope all the up em self rude pricks go the other way

Yeah thats cool was just curious How about if we want to advertise stuff can we just chuck it into the General Discussion area? Make the title state (For Sale) drop boxes (Item) Superior drop boxes. (Condition) New in box never used or fitted. (Price) $50.00 (Location) Doomagee. (Freight) Pickup, May assist if you orginize it. ^^^^ Just an example ^^^^ sound good? or nah

For the battery Isolater im running a 4wd systems one and works really good and is 100 percent sealed also has inbuilt surge protector which is great for 4wds with computers ect in them has a sensor switch that is optional but if used and you run winchs ect helps from over loading your alt when charging hard and also has a inbuilt jump start that is setup on a switch from inside the car lets you jump it if your main battery dies without even getting out, i also hear the Piranna setups a unreal too but i have never used one myself.

Love the millweld bars they kinda make me jelly lol nice troll there bet she serves as a good tourer.

raised shock mounts for front thats all i got atm ill try find some pictures or vids from trips iv done and upload also, some might say its now to big, well i agree im dropping out the 6" coils and selling them and going back to 4" coils when i put my superior flex arm and drop boxes in, then im selling the 35's and buying 37's will also be selling off the 15x10" rims for 15x8" rims and going beadlockers, cant wait lol next year i plan on getting stuck in and build a internal and external cage so i can go race winch truck open class. Well hope you guys that aint seen my beast like it as the title says its forever being modded so ill try keep pictures comming

how it sits atm with 8" of total lift on 35's painted my snorkle black and new brake lines for the big lift broke my shock mount off my diff on weekend play mish

more

bit of tray work, diff brace, flares on rear, front bar

You wanted pictures so here are some pictures lol Ill try and get as close to stage by stage of what pictures i do have and try as best to have them in order. prep for paint, straight after paint with all black done also

All i know is i used some red stuff this time ment for high loaded engines or some crap (thought it would been a good idea for a 4b) and i dont like, it as it seems to get hotter quicker and stay at high temps longer then it used to with the green stuff.

The main reason i bought another GQ and not a GU was because i didnt want a Grenade lol Will have to watch this topic wouldnt mind a 3lt GU wagon for a tourer one day if it can be made reliable.

Is there going to be an advetisment area for For Sale stuff and wanted stuff ect ect ?

Love the sticker mate nice troll too

To start it off its was an 1989 wagon now living life as a dual cab, TB42 carby (how much i hate the carb lol) 5 speed manual. I bought the rig as a dual cab and since then its taking on alot of time and money as it was a BIG UGLY PIECE OF SH|T that i payed way to much for (well thats what i get for buying sight unseen) moving along as how everything was stuffed i spent 6 weeks in the shed doing rust repairs, rebuilding diffs, swapping interior and fixing many oil leaks. So by the time it was ready for a roady it was freshly painted White just about everything was rebuilt and new suspension and rubbers under it, it went in for a roady riding on 4" lifted springs and 2" body lift with 33" tires and once i got it rego'd iv not looked back and it just keeps getting bigger and better. Now it sits with 8" of lift on 35" tires mounted to fat 15x10 neg 44 offset rims iv raised shock mounts front and rear changed all the steering to newer GQ style adjustable stuff setup my own steering dampner to get it up high and out of harms way added a superior coil brace with drop out cones and retainers, 3rds rear lower +1" arms, braced the front diff, all the interior is now ST velour, custome 2.5" exhaust with extractors, tube tray, half tube front bar, built in sliders, 8" longer braided brake lines and same as rear line on front, thermos to keep it cool, custome 3" snorkle with modded air box. There is plenty more just dont feel lik typing any more as i should be in bed lol Over the next few days ill upload some pictures and try find an old one or two and during ect ect Cheers Sid.

Thanks to who or whom made the new forum was a good idea seeing patrol4x4 is having major issues Dont know if its been discussed yet but just wanted to bring up the idea of if the admin/admins would wanna copy and paste alot of the usefull stuff/info from the old forum just incase it does decide to go under? Also the layout is nice and im liking it so far

Well most will know who i am seeing me float around the other patrol4x4 forum and figured as seeing as that issue over there aitn fixed id join up here, you can never have enough patrol forums imo lol Ok little about me im 28 tatted and pierced i own a GQ dual cab thats a little monster now umm yep love 4wding nothing really can beat it and i might start a tread on my troll but i dont have any old day pictures i dont think. Thats all i can think of this late at night Cheers Sid.
