I also use Penrite 15w50 Diesel Semi Syn. I've had my current GQ TD42 for almost 13 years and done about 170,000km in that time (It's just clicked over 420,000kms).
My GQ TD42 before that I had for...

Hi Guys,

How do you get the sound to work in google chrome, normally it just works, but this year nothing.

Cheers!

I have a frame that goes around the rear window for work lights. (first photo)
I have an awesome led mounted under my jerry can box which is on the reverse light trigger. (second photo)

Congrats!
Is it a ute or wagon?
Any photos?

Great idea mate. Looking forward to seeing how you go with it!
I just mounted mine on top of my flat rack as I am always towing the camper.

Old Patrols are best!
Don't forget to post a photo!

I've been using the Pro Gear 75w-85 from penrite for years.
What ever you choose, it must be a GL-4.
GL-5 jams the syncros in a GQ manual transmission.

Hey mate, to help put your mind at ease, Both of my TD42s take 11ltrs per service.

Yay the lights are back!
... but no sound? :(

The 4.2's defiantly need a gl-4 oil in their manual transmissions!

I've been using penrite 75-85 full synthetic for years, makes it a pleasure to drive and my GQ has just gone over 400,000kms....

I use a 2000kg trolley jack and it lifts my Patrol easily. I use 5 ton axle stands for height/clearance.
Got them from TradeTools ages ago.

Welcome to the Forum!

Go the Patrol!

January Update;

The GQ passed 400,000kms :D

I completed a full service, like I do every 50,000km and every fluid came out the same colour and condition it went in!

Also, I got the turbo...

It would be great if the park re-opened!
Sunshine Coast Jeep Club started an event on Facebook, but deleted it as they had over 3000 "guests" and didn't want the blame if the park didn't reopen....

Great pics!
Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a great trip, now I can't wait for my Fraser Island trip next month!!!

Thanks for the suggestion Nissannewby! :D
If you don't mind me asking, how long do you get out of your clutches?

Cheers Bigcol! :biggrin:

I am going on a beach trip soon, I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a new clutch?
The clutch in it is over 8 years and 150,000kms old and works perfectly, but now it has a turbo,...

Welcome to the forum!

I've had a few messages asking about the seats...

To fit them we used a piece of 3mm steel and a length of 25mm2 box section

The side closest to the centre console only requires the 3mm plate...

Hi guys,
We rebuilt the Nissan seats, these ford seats are as I got them.

They only just touch on the arm rests on the doors (power window type).

Hope that helps 😀

I have also been looking at this kit, would it work with airbags?
Cheers

Hi mate

Really, Really comfortable!!! Be in my top three mods (after turbo and tyres :smiley_thumbs_up: )

After getting the drivers seat twice and the passenger once rebuilt, i thought why...

Hi all!

I’ve always had a great passion for beach 4wding and camping trips, in 2009 I brought my stock GQ Patrol in the hopes of customising it to suit me so that I can get away and enjoy the...
