G'day all i joined this forum last night and posted a thread in the intro section and must say thanks for the warm welcome.
My ride is a 88 GQ wagon brought it about 3 years ago it is my daily driver as i somtimes need the 4wd at work mainly in winter.At the moment it has a TB42 on gas,but i have been thinking about changing to either a TD42 or doing a V8 converson.
Things i have done to the old girl are:
5 inch efs lift
8000 pound low mount winch
33" muddies on 15x8 globe mags
Duel batteries
Crane cams electronic ignition
Roof rack with awning
IPF driving lights
Reverse lights/work lights mounted on the rear wheel carrier
3" Stainless snorkel made by me and a mate
Tripe flow radiator
Heavy duty diesel clutch
Things i want to do are:
Front diff lock
Change the seats and steering wheel
Change the very rear seat to a single one out of a GU
And as said above do a engine change when money allows
About 12 months ago i cracked the head on it,i came across a complete TB42 for 600 bucks so i just did a engine swap.
It does what i need it to do like have a bit of fun and take my family(wife and 4 boys) on great camping trips.
Gave the old girl a birthday present this week,just fitted a new set of tyres,made a table for the back door and pick up some VX commodore front seat's for it.Hopefully fit them tomorrow after work.
