The Beastie

[gec]

Since we're all puttin our trucks up I figured I'd put some details up of mine.
She's a 91 GQ TI with a Gen 3 V8, Dual ARB locker's, 4 inch OME lift, Superior Eng Panhards, XLR8 Slider's, ARB winch bar, 9000lb Premier winch, 4 IPF 900XS spotty's, Alpine stereo with usb input and a Alpine 1000 watt 4 channel amp and 4 Alpine speakers, 2 at 100 watt and 2 in the back at 350 watt, Cruise control, Uniden uhf, Black Widow draw system with fridge slide and an Engel 40ltr fridge, ROH 8 inch rims with 33 inch Cooper ST's, she also has a Gps with reversing camera and a 145 ltr fuel tank and in-cab controls for the winch. I have also got some extended heavy duty lower control arms that I have yet to fit, my plans for the future are to put some Big O radius arms to replace the drop boxes and some Marks Adapter crawler gears for the transfer case, also some Hid inserts for the spotty's and a new rear bar with twin wheel carrier, if I ever get a job.
Mostly I use it to play, go fishing and to tow my Down Under Camper trailer around.

[Bigrig]

Looks and sounds sweet mate!!! The future mods planned will turn into a weapon - those reduction gears I got are literally the single best investment I made - turns it into a different truck!!! Thanks for the photos/videos!!

[growler2058]

[patch697]

Impressive ain't they?????

You'll enjoy the light power & the colour as well.

Is that a pair of night stalkers your using???...... If so they're a bloody good light for the price & you should get great results with HID's

[gec]

They are the IPF 900XS, I used to have four of them on, but the boys in blue dont like spotties mounted on the top of your bar, so two had to come off. as I like a lot of light, these seemed like a good idea.

[BigMav]

Nice rig, some well thought out mods.

[DX grunt]

Nice truck. I still haven't got the heart or the guts to drill holes in the dash, or any where else for that matter. lol

Take care out there.

Hahaha Yeah mate, It was my young bloke, I think it caught him of guard a little lol.

[GreenGQ]

That's awesome, I'd love a Gen 3 in my Patrol, might have to wait for the 2.8 to cark it first tho.
I'd imagine the swap would be comparable in price to a rebuilt diesel wouldn't it?

I Honestly couldn't say as I have never owned a diesel, but if you can do a lot of the work yourself then I imagine that it would be reasonable.
