What a dream GU IV in my opinion!

G’day Shakey55 Mate,

Sorry to hear about your health issues, hope all can be resolved quick smart for a best outcome Brother [emoji120][emoji120]

I’ll start the discussion here with my...

My old "standby" formula was 100kg/pair of roof racks. (Gutter mount)

So if you have 5 Bars...technically you can put 250kg up there. Whether that's safe or sensible in terms of...

Roof loading is a bit of an issue. I have seen lots of different limits from supposedly reliable sources. First check your handbook - some models do have it in there I have been told. There is...

Different situation - we had our rear leaf sprung GU ute's gvm upgraded in 2013. 3400kg to 3900kg. I just want to suggest that prior to getting any gvm upgrade ask questions about on & off road...

Its also worth noting, as this is in the caravan and campers section, a GVM upgrade won't give you a GCM upgrade if that's what you're chasing for towing?

I had the pedders 3505kg GVM Upgade done prior to first registration on my 2016 LE GU CRD, I'm still running it today. It does the job, but its a pretty hard ride if not loaded. My rear diff was...

What year scooby ? if its pretty late model, it will certainly be a 3 layer pearl, and so will have a clear coat, so you can defiantly cut and polish it no worries if its not been done to hard...

Interesting to hear that ABS was a requirement. Out of curiousity (and not necessarily for GVM upgrade) has anyone fitted ABS to their vehicle that originally wasn't delivered with ABS from factory?

I had my 2001 GUII done to 3550 kg here in QLD. The engineer gave me a list of the Tough Dog springs & shocks required + 2 degree castor bushes and was Ok with me doing all the work myself here at...

I did this on a GQ Patrol. the limit is the axle ratings, as defined by NIssan. The spring rates need to match the new load capacity. Tyres must be rated for the load, as do any aftermarket rims. I...

Well after a bit of a drama finding somebody reliable, my Y61 now handles like a dream ... offset bearings and shims played with and I can tell you she is a joy to drive now. No pulling, no wobble,...

Young farmer finally arrived today and took away the wheels, happy as a pig in mud he was, so thats a good end to the day.

Yeh, there is a For Sale & Wanted section with different sub categories.

Check out racebrakes Sydney

Like Cuppa said, I've fitted them and taken my (2,000kg plus) van on some pretty extreme trips. Couldn't fault them and happy to recommend them.
I didn't think the original brakes were to bad until...

RDA Slotted & dimpled are what I use on the front of my 06 TD42 ute, along with EBC pads, previously greenstuff series 6000 which I replaced at around 60,000kms (with a bit more life left in them,...

It is May - the month in which I replace glow-plugs...


This time decided to do a compession test while the glow plugs are out


I was amazed that all cylinders are (from what I can see) still...

Our Patrol & Tvan were packed & stocked ready to drive back up Cape York as soon as the roads dried out - but it wasn't to be.

Caught early February this year in Rockhampton area (top secret of course exact location)
Went 133cm so was released with considerable effort as she could not swim , so had to start up motor and...

We left the Tvan & Patrol in storage & went up to Portland Roads, Cape York for 5 weeks. A taster of what is to come later in the year when we return to the Cape with the Tvan. Now back near Cairns &...

Finished cleaning the bugger, finally got rid of the last of the Balfour swamp silt and goop. . Smells fresh as again [emoji4]

Too true mate, There are bound to be duds in every batch. Coopers just seem to be dudder than others in my experience.

Hello,

my wife and me quit our jobs in Switzerland to travel around your lovely country. I have been reading a lot in this forum over the last month and thought it is time now to share some of my...
