Just thought i would show you my GQ i bought last month. I called her 'the crushinator' named after the robot on futurama.
She is an 88 TD42, 4" lift, 33" bighorns, front TJM locker, dual batteries, quater chop, warn winch and UFH.
She has over 400 000k's and i plan to turbo it very soon. It will be interesting to see how the engine goes but at the moment its running well.
Soon I am going to build some sliders, rear bar and a set of draws for her. Also it came with checkerplate door trims that i hate so i will replace them too. A roof rack is on the cards too. I wanna make a tuff tourer that will go anywhere. Might even get a paint job if i get excited, she needs one.

Very nice mate - the old 4.2 diesel will keep chugging along with some love, so you should see some good results from installing the turbo.

Good looking rig!!!

hahaha, no pink paint yet taslucas, but i might get a sticker of bender for it, if anyone is familiar with Futurama episode 2, Bender got it on with the Crushinator.

Its not too bad for the age, straight panels but the paint isn't geat, a few bit of rust in a few places but nothing too concerning yet. The last bloke too good care of it and everything works properly. Took a long time to find one with all the goodies on it that i liked, there are not many diesel ones for sale these days. I was going to do the turbo install myself but due to working away i might just pay the 4 grand and have no stuffing about.

It does actually crush things, when we went camping the missus left the billy out and it got crushed flat with no effort. lol
