    Chester's 88 GQ

    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.
