Hey all Am keen as to get into some mud this weekend, maybe Dunrobin Rd? But anywhere really!!!! Sick of doing the tame tracks solo, wanna get somewhere where theres the good chance of needing help. Admittedly I don't have winch and only have front tow hook at present BUT 'Black Betty' and I are ...

oh fair enough an ex pat - sweet as!!

oh yip, that makes sense now!! thanx mate!! and hey, dont forget to beat the boks for us this weekend so we can have both the cups!!!

yeah, i still dont really understand the whole offset thing!!

ooooh - nevermind - he just rang up - apparently the 8inch wont clear the callipers and so i am sticking with the 7inch size so yeah, nevermind!! AND i didnt know that the wheel spacers were illegal!!!???

Howdy guys

I am going to be running 15x7 rims on my AT's and 15x8 on my MT's - tyre man says this is cool - yes/no?? Any pitfalls/concerns??

Thanks

Hey guys

am looking into buying mudders, and maybe will end up forkin out for rims too - damn tm damn you - what sort of price am i looking at for new rims? 15x7? Terrano 94

yai - dont we all......!!!

well, i would but i doubt he would sell them for the price i am getting them at present - 21 bucks for 4!!

thanx mate, i will keep an eye out for them on tm then, lookiong at a factory set pretty cheap in chch at mo - so will see how i go - then i just need the damn tyres!!

ok, sweet, thanx dieselboy, but is 15x7 a 15x7 in anyones books or what? doesnt it come down to offset? how do i find out my offset? or does it not really matter too much?

Hey guys - I have 94 terrano and am looking at a set of rims which are 15x7jj, but want to know if there is any variance between year of makes, like does a 96/97 have same size rims, or can they have different offsets? have tried finding specs but cant find them on rims as such, the ones im looking ...

thanks guys - dont worry i will be looking once funds allow it!!

Thanks guys!

Thanks Cainef and Jungle - yip for sure about the bigger platform under any jack!! and im sweet in 4high in the loose, thanx. Jungle, u r the high lift master then.......tell me about the driving off the jack technique, like if ur stuck in a rut or something and want to push or drive it off the jack ...

well thanx guys, that kinda clears those things up i guess. except for the high lift, does anyone use one??
OH and what about high ratio 4wd on loose gravel, is that ok? i mean really loose gravel??? :scratch:

Thanks DB, yeah, I just dont get the 4wd on tarmac thing - how can it make a difference to the diff or anything? Ive driven in snow where you couldnt not use 4wd, its the only way to keep moving? Winches - i'm talking about the ones at supercheap auto, im unsure of the brand, but yes, the pulley ...

Hey guys, Some questions sorry if they seem dumb What does ROH stand for? :scratch: What is the 'offset' and 'return' referring to? When referring to a "15 inch rim" what is the other dimension ie 15x 8 ? What IS an 'MU'?:scratch: How come, if our trucks weigh what - 1500kg plus - that alot of hand ...

how can u tell if u have a LSD? and whats the pros and cons of susp. lift vs body lift? For the LSD, look on the diff housing near the filler plug, as it usually has a sticker "LSD oil only" on it. If its not there, it doesnt mean it doesnt have one, it may have been pulled off or painted over. The ...

Coils should be easy enough to fit. Disconnect rear shocks, and you could possibly use a scissor jack between the diff and chassis to get enough clearance to remove old coil and put in new ones. Torsion bars are easy enough, its basically just doing up a bolt to put more tension on the bars, but ...

man - at the risk of sounding really green, you guys lost me there a while back!! but i guess taking ur comments to someone who can show me what u mean would help!!

Hi, I have a 94 V6 manual terrano and have modified heaps and still planning more. I had a snorkel fitted by 4wd upgrades in CHCH and they did a good job of it and it was an airflow. They just made some mods to it to make it fit. ARB do good suspension upgrades for terranos, lifted mine 2". Have ...

A few guy's down here have 31's and don't have too much trouble, IF you have indipendit front then you just have to screw up your torsion bars, just a little at a time untill the a arm just touches the top bump stop, no point going any higher unless you want to loose travel. Thats all the guys i ...

Avoid buying a cheap snorkel like Airflow, these can be a pain to fit and seal, so go for a Safari or similar. Although I personally wont deal with them, perhaps try Fully Equipped as they should be able to supply coils and snorkel, and do the fitting. Make sure to haggle the price though. Fitting ...

Thanks Dieselboy!!

This is also a good site for comparing Tyre sizes.
