Hi guys,

I'm looking at GU DX coil/leaf utes, and wondering what year the driver's airbag was introduced? I know the steering wheels say SRS but it's difficult to see on most ads so I'd like to...

Any leads appreciated, thanks.

Hi everyone,

Looking for a GU coil/leaf ute, preferably without the electronic injection pump, but not a deal breaker.

Cheers,
Adrian

I bought it for 12k. Pics to come.

Thanks guys.

Where would I look for this plate which says TD42T?

Yeah, I'd prefer a leaf spring rear. Less chance of doing damage when I load it up. People say they're rough but I found this...

Thanks for the info.

I forgot to mention that it's currently on the second owner, who has only owned it for about a year but now wants a wagon. It was the first owner who had it resprayed.

Is...

Hi everyone,

Recently I had a test drive of a 99 GU ute, leaf spring rear with turbo TD42 and 300,000km on it. I quite liked it actually, very comfortable compared to other utes I've driven and it...

They're leaf all round.

I ended up passing on the ute I looked at, I poked around and found a lot more rust. I'll keep looking.

I do need the load capacity to haul stuff around, and the GQ ute I'm interested in is leaf sprung. So either way I'm going with leaf springs. My Hilux has constant load 2" lift leaf springs and it...

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm starting to think it's a bit too expensive. It has a bullbar, winch, side rails, steel tray, sagged 2" lift, extractors and 2.5" exhaust. No rust but the respray is pretty...

Thanks mate. I'm not worried about it being slow, it's pulls like a train compared to my Hilux. I'm just wondering if maybe the fuel has been turned up or something. It doesn't seem to smoke though....

Any input? I need to either buy it or walk away on Saturday.

OK guys,

So as some of you may know, I was previously interested in a 90 leafer ute. Today I checked out a 94 leafer ute, and I have a few questions.

Firstly, it's obviously been resprayed. I...

Cheers.

I've found a seemingly nice one with a winch bar, but it's done 410,000km which puts me off a bit. I'm assuming I'd want to do a full rebuild before fitting a turbo? It's had the head,...

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I got sent to QLD for work this week and wasn't able to view the ute I was interested in before it sold.

Anything else I should keep in mind if I look at leaf sprung...

Haha yeah I'm a bit of a nerd.

Sorry to be a pain, but I just realised I didn't word my last post very well. Are you saying the chassis from a 1990 GQ leaf sprung ute is different to a say a 1995 GQ leaf sprung ute?

I'd prefer...

I'm hoping the bullbar for later GQ fits the chassis of these early ones, and just doesn't line up with the body panels. Hopefully someone can confirm.

Thanks guys. I've posted a thread in the ute section.

Hey guys,

I'm from near Bathurst in NSW. I've done a fair bit of 4WDing, but never owned a Patrol and don't know much about them. I'm not new to working on cars though.

I'm looking for a good...

Ah, no worries.

Thanks for that, however I'd prefer a standard type bullbar rather than a tubular bar.

Here are some examples I've found:

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and know very little about Patrols, so I apologise in advance if this has been covered before. I have done some searching and couldn't find the information I was looking...
