    Secondhand, a mate of mine was selling his GQ and bought them from Patrolapart last year, so I asked him if he would sell them to me before he put the whole car on the market, gave him my stock seats and cash!!

    Went up to the local for a quick overnighter last night, was good even if it starting raining as soon as I got in my swag lol


    The last two bits for my highmount turned up, now has air freespool so whacked it all together


    Then cut the grill to suit and modified the bullbar to suit the +76 drum


    Fitted it up to the car to see whether I’d cut enough


    Then fitted the rope off my lowmount and a cheap fairlead I bought to test it out, just need to tidy up all the wiring and do some minor welding on the bullbar, this bar is definitely not designed to take a larger winch!

    Bloody Awesome Dave!!
    Please be sure to install that air spool line clip on the HM plate side as close as possible, especially when new they rotate very hard well sealed once found:-(

    Thanks for that mate, I’ll have a look when I run the air line, I’ve only just fitted the line as I couldn’t access the end of the drum in the bar

    You’re onto a winner mate, you’re gonna love it
    Don’t forget as before to get your fittest littlens, or their 50cc quadies to run half a dozen test spools in/out before departure.
    Frees the new spool up perfectly so it’ll work like it’s meant to under easy climbing chicken legs of mine kneecap duress:-)

    Added some push buttons on the grill so I can use the winch while outside the car as I have incab switches. Then repurposed some U bolts to use as winch horns.

    The bars coming back off tomorrow to get welded up then I can do all the final wiring and fitting and spool some rope on under tension!

    Welded in the winch horns, removed my light bar and I’ll get a smaller one to mount under the hoop, fitted the winch up and wired it in completely, plumbed up my air free spool.


    And here’s a view from the drivers seat!

    Absolutely gotta love GQ flat center dash space, shit hot tops Dave mate
    If time permits, die grind a wider/higher fairlead space to allow a ‘Big-Mouth’ type fairlead to forgive a figure 8 emergency knot to pass through they say :-)
