The old rusted sliding window frames have been bugging me as has the tired interior door cards. Gone solid glass and new 2mm thick plastic cards. Looking less like a shit box both inside and out....
Funny you say that. I did a similar thing following my old man out the door as a young one. As he backed up the bumper contacted my head and my arm flung out just enough that he saw it in his side...
Making it a bit easier to see whats going on behind the big bastard by adding a reversing camera with Bluetooth radio. Aldi special for 70 bucks. Slam her into reverse and the video feed from the...
I made a maxtrax highlift jack bracket and a bit of a DIY post about it.

So I can't claim this as an original idea. I found some USA company that makes a much neater/prettier version so I adapted it, simplified it and beefed it up. Anyways, I don't run a roof rack and...
Slapped a shiny new GME tilting mount on to the rig. Guess who now fits in his shed without having to remove the CB antenna. This guy thats who. Also took this chance to run conduit over my entire...
Welcome to the forum!
Checked and cleaned the earths for the battery. Also checked the starter connections as well. I went ahead and replaced the ignition switch just as one more thing to rule out.
So in the end I...
Last weekend was the hybrid superflex arms to fix the castor angles in the front. This weekend was all about getting the rear pinion angle back to within spec with some superior adj uppers.

Good point and thanks for the suggestions. Will inspect these tomorrow. I hadn't looked at these as I made an assumption that because they would still work occasionally when everything else worked...
Have searched already for past similar issues here. I've tried to organise everything I have tried that I can remember.
Summary: Unreliable Starting and startup dash lights as well as gauges...
Much better. Still needs a wheel alignment, but based on my initial test drive it had improved.
I've been saving up for a long time for this. Replaced original radius arms w/castor correcting bushes with these superior hybrid superflex radius arms.

Like the superior braces? Thanks for the food for thought. That is some serious weight in the rear of yours.
Mainly following. I talked to a couple places and given my set up is somewhat similar to yours they recommended going 200 in the rear. I just ordered lovells 225 constant rear in 4inch. I also...
I've gone 2 3/4 on my silver top when the turbo was added. Running standard pump with 12 psi boost. You could be future proofing your exhaust by going a bit bigger than 2.5 if you plan to turbo...
Hi Deano,
Fellow Tasmanian here. I stuck a dts low mount turbo on my 1988 GQ 4.2 running 11 psi and I found that going up some hills I was able to hold a higher gear in many instances. Also...
I've dealt with both and considering you already bought the tool I would be sticking the GU hub nuts on with the screws. I've been running them for years. They are easier to adjust and a lot less...
Able to answer my own post.
Yes - seats will bolt right in. Make sure you get the strikers that match the seats. Series II GQ seats have a slightly different latching mechanism and their...
Hi All,
I have a simple question for the GQ gurus on the forum about the 1st row fold-able rear seats in a LWB GQ.
Will these rear 1st row seats from a Series 2 GQ bolt right in to a Series...
Good point regarding smaller items. I tend to keep things such a tools in the drawer. This was primarily for large bulky items.
thanks
Thanks. They are just big enough that I am able to reach through them which is handy for moving bits around or searching for something from the back seats.
All primed and painted with two coats of kill rust. I waited the recommended 16 hours before applying another coat.

Took some 1 inch wide flat iron and heated it up so I could give it some bends. Followed up by cutting it in half so I had two brackets that were exactly the same.
