Water pump seems to be the only new part that was done to mine by the previous owners, the rest were all stock until I started to replace them late last year.
I'm just looking forward to getting all the work done on her. A new clutch fan and radiator are next on the list. While I did get a replacement radiator in a rush last year, the mechanic got me an aluminium one which sucks. It doesn't keep the engine as cool as the older copper one. I'm going back to copper, been on the cards for a while. The clutch fan is almost gone so I'm able to get a new one with the plastic fan and a water pump for $160 which is a great buy.

It's been a while. Done a bit since I was last here.
Most notable are new seats in the GQ, my original drivers GQ seat was totally stuffed. I am planning on turning the passenger one into a computer chair lol.

All new engine mounts were installed as the originals were fairly flogged out. Plus all new steering including a RTC steering dampner.
I also finally took her off-roading to see how she goes.
