If you are considering the airbags, either polyair or firestone, I would recommend you do the coil tower strengthening kit first as these will put more load into the already weak towers. I changed my...
All sorted, I am sending a wheel cap to our Gold Coast member.
If the church of Patrology was used AB could be the celebrant.
i dont know if this will help anyone but i have 2 gq patrols and both their clocks didnt work. so i removed them , just had to pull the panel out far enough to get stumpy phillips in to remove clock....
Hey mate I ran a 3" pipe from the standard ht18 gu turbo to a wrx front mount intercooler so that pipe is the cold side ic going into the inlet manifold.
Was tricky running that size pipe but if...
yes i get a full blood tests and prostate every 12 mths to keep an eye on things, very worthwhile imo. @ Chimo, i hope all goes well for you.
Hi Chimo,
Hope everything goes ok for you. Do you mind if I ask how old you are? Age make a difference?
Big thanks for posting this Chimo! It may be just the thing to get the lads off their butts and in to get checked. I wish you all the best for your next checks and hope that you are free and clear.

These are the only recalls I could find
There was a recall on my 1992 efi front brake hoses. Might be worth checking if yours has that due. Mine only got changed late last year as well.
The only real thing with that model was the panhard chassis mount. It was revised and a bracing plate was added.
I go my missus to watch it while I was driving.
She couldn't hear it so she ran it through the stereo in the car and turned the volume right up when the phones were ringing, then bang on the film...
If you have Factory GU rims that you want to put on your GQ then they are all Pos10. and will not stick out at all mate.
The boys above as talking about changing offsets and this can be a problem...
Yokahama Geolander H/T S G 051 is one option and Goodyear Wrangler HT is another. Another one is the the 31/10.5R15 HT AUSTONE CSR34
Any thoughts on one or other of these? What else is there...
The factory wheels will be ok, but as Clunk and BA stated after market may be a different story with the offsets available
As BA has said, depends on the offset. I have 15x8 rims shod with 33x12.50x15 tyres, so are approx 25mm wider than 285x75x16 tyres, my tyres protrude approx 10mm outside the factory flares on my...
Depends on the offset of the rim mate.... my -13 rims with 285 75 16 tyres did not go past the factory flares.
265s are the OE size on GUs and GQs with STD 16' rims
265s return great economy which you'll find out after switching to 285s
Most here would run 285s or 305s
Plastic Jerry cans have a limited lifespan.
I have a number of plastic jerry cans & prefer them to the metal ones. However today I went into my workshop & could smell a pungent smell. Nope it...
As I said this was a strange day. This happened within a 10 minute time frame
Seriously.
On our way home yesterday evening around 6pm from camping with our new camper in tow. My two beautiful girls in the back playing Uno and the missus chatting away to me. I came thundering...
Better brake setup, abs, traction control.. All adds up..
