Hi
Recently purchased a 2002 GU. Chose the GU because we were looking at those and 80 series as the gf wanted a bigger vehicle :thumbup: but chose the later model vehicle. Have previously been a toyota man but have always liked the GUs. It is pretty stock for the moment, has a bit of a lift, Dick Cepec tyres (prob not for long), snorkle and thats just about it! Also has a reco engine as it went bang, so the mods are on the to do list in the very near future, but I have to get the gf out of it first!
Here it is

Thanks Vrod. The GU looks a lot like mine but without the big lift.
Is that an R50 Pathfinder front bumper on the Surf?

not quite, it is a jackeroo bumper, because it was in dads shed and the price was right! and it fit up very easily. sticks out the front a bit tho..

Oh yeah!!!! Let that big boy breathe!! You'll never stop now you realise! Once it's got a bit more throat, you'll want to deck it out top to bottom!!! Look forward to the updates as you go.

Can't wait for the pics mate, this is a mod I want to do to my own rig.. should sound awesome, which system did you end up getting if you don't mind me asking lol

vrod
18th February 2011, 10:59 PM
got the scotts rods system, because its all about the benjamins! to a certain extent anyway. I though it was worth a try. needed the pyro probe fitted so thought i might as well get a real exhaust to fit it to. tomorrows job, hope these bolts undo!!!
