ok...i looked at the tranny and y-pipes and shafts under there and i said to myself..no way in hell i'm doing this work in a car port!...so i decided to...
I recently (only 2 weeks ago) bought a bullbar for my '04 GV. I couldn't find a steel one anywhere in my country and I'm assuming it's because they can't make...
G'day. I am also from Australia. However, I have found that only Alloy bars are available here. GV owners that I do meet in the bush, have customised their own...
Also in australia with a 04 gv, I was told by a 4x4 mob that they could not custom make them due to the airbag issue. I was quoted $1200 for a tjm, alloy. ... ...
I think you are correct about the AIR BAG issue. I can't say I've seen to many custom bars on airbag GV's. A 4x4 company called 4play offroad may be able to ...
I think they call this a nudge bar and not a bull bar. Looks very flimsy to me... ... _http://www.4x4x4.com/accessories/grandvitara_accessories_frbars3.htm_ ...
A nudge bar in the australian bush is completly useless. A fully fitted bullar replaces the 'plastic' bullbar with either alloy or steel. In the 'bush' the ...
how much did the ecb one cost fitted? ... __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Find restaurants, movies, travel and more fun for the weekend....
It was between $1200-$1300 fitted (incl. gst). I had mine powder coated, but it's another couple of hundred dollars if you want polished alloy. If I had my...
The other issue with bullbars is that the GV air compressor diff lock is located up and under the front bullbar.Whether this is an issue for custom made ...
Jeffery. I am not a machanic, but my experience is that it did not cause problems with warranty. I have lifted my 99GV with an ARB OME 40mm Suspension/Spring...
I just noticed that my fuel gauge is not working anymore so I am curious what is needed to be fixed and how much it will cost to fix. Thank you Rick 99 GV......
That's not really too much of a problem. On my bullbar, they provided a simple bracket to mount the compressor in behind. The warrenty will only be void for...
Jeffery, what are the muddies like on the beach? ... -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.323 / Virus Database:...
For beach driving All Terrains would be better As muddies just did into the sand. However, you have to think of what type of driving you will be doing most. ...
Of the off-roading I do, about 50% is bush (rock/mud/etc) and 50% is sand. If the muddies are really that bad on the sand then I'll get the all-terrains....
Darrin. I used BFG All Terrains for 3 years and had no problems. However, they do clog up abit with very sticky mud/clay etc. The BFG Muddies are great with ...
my brother has 30 x 9.5 x 15 goodyear Muddies and he never needs to take air out of his tyres, he jumps on and of the sand without any trouble, he previously...
I'll check the MTR's out Timothy, what sort of sidewall reinforcement do they have? If I'm spending this sort of money on tyres they have to be durable. ...
Have you seen this one: http://www.puresuzuki.com/winch_bumper1.htm It says it's all steel, but didn't mention if it's air bag compatible.... It's basically a...
I investigated this after seeing what an 1800 lb. (800 kg.) bull can do to an automobile after it bounces off the front of a class 8, tractor-trailer, cab. It...
The Calmini bar looks great! Dunno if it's airbag compatible, and at $USD549 it would cost a heap landed here in Oz. Darrin ... -- No virus found in this...
Yeah, given it's 5 MM in thickness, and steel, which I suspect means forget about airbag compatibility, just the shipping alone would double the price. Erk,...
I thoughgt the Goodyear MTR's are supposed to be a Mud Terrain tyre. Maybe they are not as agressive as the BFG. However, there are not to many 16" 4X$ tyres...
Calmini is available is Australia from a company in Western Australia (Perth). I think it is called 4 Wheel drive USA. 4 WHEEL DRIVE U.S.A. 1a Chalkley Pl...
