    Mr Green,

    Mate I'm impressed, that is one hell of a truck and one hell of a read.

    The only thing now, what's next on your trekking agenda.

    Keep us posted

    Got another GU ute that i'm turning into a touring machine so trips will be done in that now, will be selling the MK and the GQ to fund the repairs and mods to the two GU's

    next plan is to get my GU Ute comp truck back on the road so i can do the Canning in it next year while i set up the GU Ute Super Tourer for future trips

    Mate, truly outstanding effort. As per the "Keeping it in the Family" thread in members rides, I'm doing this for my eldest lad at the moment - $1500 buy price, $810 spent so far on necessities, and it has a solid engine, transmission, transfer and chassis with 99% of rust in the cabin - even the seats and dash cluster are in good nick.

    Obviously would welcome any pitfalls you could guide me on to avoid, and absolutely impressed at your effort and outcome!! You should be proud as punch for that job!!

    Mine goes like a dream ... best thing i did was fit 33's as they suit the gearing much better and cut the exhaust off before the muffler which increased the torque and lowered the point where the power starts to come in.

    Interesting one - his is a TB42 so will affect the gearing (H260's also), but not sure what the effect will be on the effect on the engine ..

    Thanks mate
