Mudski GU Build Thread

[jay see]

So I've had a few days to allow the brakes to wear in. I must say its really good to have brakes that work. No more nose diving under brakes... The GU pulls up really nice now.

Always good to have brakes that work. Lol

So what's the next little project Mark.

Yeah I thought they worked pretty good before, seemed to pull up ok. But now after front and rear calipers have been rebuilt, the fronts are now larger too, its a lot different.
I wouldn't mind upgrading the sway bars to the Superflex bars, also upgrade the air intake, but I want to get the engineers report done first.

So i just couldn't help myself. I bought the Titan rear drawers from 4wd Supa centre. I saw them yesterday, for $699. Bloody alright price i thought. I went in today to have another look, and they had them for the same price, but they came with their data scan tool thingo and a led strip light. Scored!
And i may have bought an ARB 47L fridge with transit bag.

So what has more litres the inside one or the camping ones. Lol

Nice pick up for the price. Don't you already have one of those scan gauge things?

I'm still not convinced on having the fridge sitting on top for draws, but that's just me...

Yeah well i have the 75l engel, the 32l engel and now this. Lol. I might sell the 32l but it fits nice under my workbench keeping my beers cold, ill see about out this. The gauge i had was an ecu talk and i sold it to a member here. This unit isn't compatible with my model apparently, is for the CRD's though... so ill flog it off. As for the fridge, i see where your coming from. Wouldn't be exactly easy for you mate to climb up there. I do have another set of drawers i made up that is a single drawer on the right, and the fridge on an arb slide next to it in a box so you can stack stuff over the fridge. I hadn't carpeted it yet and put a lock on the drawer but it worked really well. So ill flog this off too.
I really need to get rid of some stuff. I have parts everywhere at my house now. Its getting a bit stupid.

Climbing up to get to the fridge isn't that hard for me, it's more the fact that you "have to" and my missus is shorter than me.


Should be a few bargains popping up soon.

I have a 40L Engel on top of my drawers and it is a pain... Not so bad for me but the missus hates it! Drop down fridge slide is on the list.

Yeah i am on the hunt for one now... bloody pricey things though.
That auto elec mob in Bairnsdale seem to have the best deal on them. Ill be going past their probably about 8am maybe. Wonder if they'll be open.
What i will do is put the fridge on the right side when i get the slide, then i can use the built in slide in the drawers as a pull out table.
Heres the drawers....

How do you find the draws? feel sturdy? good fit and finish? decent runners?

For $700 you wouldnt be saving much making your own.
