Hi Andy, just saw your post. If tray still not out, I'd give Patrol-a-part a phone call and ask them. Probably have to wait till after Christmas now though.
Cheers

Thanks Hodge and EddieOlsen, might have to look into this too. Maybe long-term it is the better, safer, answer,

Hi all, thanks for the replies.
I like the idea of drug money, but I seem to keep having crop failures (just as well two slipped through, ha ha).
Hodge, good idea.
Anyway I think for now I'll just...
Hi all,
My 2000 GU 4.2td 5spd manual, has, or course, auto locking hubs. It seems to me that some like them, most don't. I think I'm falling into the "don't like" brigade.
The idea of backing up a...
Hi all,
I see quite a few GU towing vans (and horse floats, and boats). Have a 2000 GU 4.2 turbo manual, the car is rated to tow 3500kg. Great. But I have noticed a sticker inside rear door that...
Hi mate from under down under.
I took that GU out for a test a couple of weeks ago. Engine ran like a Swiss watch, very sweet. Honest car. I just didn't like the carpet previous owner had put in,...
Thanks Cuppa.
I have since found that DX didn't have AC for the first couple of years and was then option and finally standard. I wonder if all the bits could be sourced and installed. Patrolapart...
Hi all,
Am looking at a 1999 GU DX model with NON-electric mirrors.
I have Clearview on current Isuzu ute and would like to get similar for GU should I buy it.
My question is this: does anyone...
Hi John,
when I wrote NA I meant naturally aspirated, i.e. not turbo induction. If there is a NA model produced somewhere, I wasn't aware of it.
Hope that clears any confusion. First couple of GU...
Thanks Pollenface for your thoughts.
Currently in SA the CRD 3ltr are very high prices, but certainly low kms.
Any one want to comment on a 2005 manual 3ltr? On web it looks in excellent...
Hi everyone,
Not sure if topic title was clear, so let me expand.
I've had two GQ 4.2 over the years, sold last one 4 years ago as bought Trakmaster caravan (2nd hand) and it is ATM 2700kg so too...
Thanks for replies. Yes it is attached by 2 small screws on door.
Looks like an irritating time coming up.
cheers
Hi
GQ wagon with manual mirrors. The driver side is weak and will blow back in strong gusting wind. How do I go about adjusting it so it stays in place?
thanks
Hi threedogs,
Would hope that next caravan will be max ATM 2000-2200kg. Just a couple of months before Christmas, car got all bushes replaced, ARB springs and shocks to suit towing in remote rough...
Thanks for the replies.
Haven't made up the mind yet, but I'm thinking maybe I do the Tanami etc with the GQ, and having ticked that off, maybe consider GU after that for the, shall we say easier,...
I know GU had diesel 4.2 in both NA and Turbo but like rocking horse poo in SA.
I also know GQ rated at 2500kg but it has trouble pulling itself up the hills leaving Adelaide and with a trailer on...
Hi all
Thinking of moving from 4.2 Diesel GQ to a GU for towing caravan. Talking long distance, say 8 months each year, top-end WA, Qld and so on.
Haven't got van yet but likely off-road job maybe...
Hi threedogs,
Never have wanted to turbo motor. Not factory, not wanted. That's me.
Also have to admit that I'm getting softer, so really looking for a bit of modern refinement. Yes I enjoy not...
Hi
Thinking long term ownership here for towing caravan.
Currently GQ 4.2 diesel (non turbo) towing Tvan. However in next year or so will sell Tvan and get dirt/off road caravan which will be...
Thanks MudRunner, it is good news as original bar on car when I bought it was an aluminium, non winch bar. It looked OK, no idea where it was from. Thanks for those links too. I think I still prefer...
Thanks for replies. I am stuck a bit as assessor has already authorised ARB. Repair yard have suggested TJM but they don't know if they are in stock either.
I think, unless repairer gives no...
Hi
I had a tree fall across Patrol which amongst other things bent the bullbar.
So repair mob were booked to start next week including a new winch compatible ARB bullbar.
My preferred is ARB but...
Indeed, my GQ had airbags fitted by original owner.
Earlier this year I put new OME springs and shockers through car and also kept the air bags. Only needed 20psi when fully loaded and van on back...
PS Thanks for info.
Looks like API-GL.5. Label also says suitable where SAE 80W-90 EP us specified.
I'll assume then that front diff and transfer case is ok. Also just to clarify car is 1991 build.
So if I got some...
