[Trollol]

Im a fan of both, so how about you get a GQ body and chuck some GU parts on it?

[Sir Roofy]

thats what is keeping the gq,s running these days gu parts are every where
cause gq parts are getting harder to source mate go for a gu with a 4.2 diesel

[97_gq_lwb]

Gq cheaper and easier to find replacement panels when you bang it up.

[Maxhead]

You always were one to be different.

Haha. Gotta stand out from the crowd ;)

Mini monster truck

[MEGOMONSTER]

I've decided not a viable option to have second car for potentially only five or six times a year.

[Wine_maker]

Make a polls mate and 90% of votes will be for GQ!

[MEGOMONSTER]

Yes I know but they don't look like this.

[Blownlc]

Is that a polished alloy bar or chrome steel? looks nice!

[MEGOMONSTER]

Factory Nissan alloy bar

[Blownlc]

Oh really? I can't say iv seen one that polished before.

[Ben-e-boy]

if it is only for half a dozen times a year. just get a pig of a thing that is a good runner. lift it and lock it. or better yet get one that has already copped a hiding already lifted already locked scratched dented. but serviced its a winner IMO

take dhuck for an example, he bought a full on comp truck that got dumbed down for a bit of road use it lifted, locked, geared, caged,dented and scratched, you would build his truck for literally 5 times what he paid for it already done.

[Blownlc]

Ah. Oxidization, coke and some tin foil will wake it good as new. Ball breaker though. Anyway sorry for the thread highjack.

[MEGOMONSTER]

looks like one of my mate with an 05 Patrol wants to buy a 80 series Landcruiser for bush bashing for 3k. yet he spent a reasonable amount of money setting up his Patrol to do the same thing, go figure.

[Bloodyaussie]

Are you ever going to come bush bashing as you call it......... I prefer to say "seeing this beautiful country".............. We have had many meet ups ya big lug and you are yet to appear!! except for drinkies at Andy's?

[Clunk]

thats because he's been getting his trol "set up" lol

[Bloodyaussie]

For what!!!!!!!!

[MudRunnerTD]

Well mick I am a very lucky man and have the GUIV for my daily and outback family tourer and the GQ for the business end of out hobby. There is simply No Way I would attempt what I do in my GQ in the GUIv. Regardless of the GQ once having nice paint, it does not now. And I Care little. Drive it, bounce it, bend it, Use It. That's why I built it. But if I thought about it it probably owes me $40k. I'm ok with that because its already spent and I had it before the GUiV. Could not do it the other way with the same level of budget though. Buying some Junker half done is the way to go. TB42 Carby for a couple of grand. Cheap lift and an auto locker. $5k or less and your having a heap of fun and No Tears.

But! Big But! Your a Farking Giant!!!!!! You need the cheapest GUI you can find. A GQ would feel like driving a Zook for you mate. Be fun but squashy. I never realised ow compact a GQ was until I started living with a GUIV for day to day, get in the GQ and feel the difference big time.

Either way come play mate!!! You will love it!

Not true, I have been out with AB and a few of the boys. King lake Toolangi I believe. 338753387633877
When AB went for a dive.
But you weren't there Cuddles.
Although AB did cut my trip short and suggested a park up and hitch a ride with him.

So next time you wanna open ya trap, better get your facts together first.

[MEGOMONSTER]

thats because he's been getting his trol "set up" lol

Thank you Clunk, I'm glad you understand.

[MEGOMONSTER]

For what!!!!!!!!

To beat your arse.

[Bloodyaussie]

I love it Mick!!!!!!!!

C'mon mate come and play!!!!!

I assume your talking bout the Q, he says it has 30k of upgrades and accessories but wants 50k for the sale, so does he think the Q itself is worth 20k. ROFLMFAO

[90mav]

Thats a lottta coin for an early GU. Atleast I know I can get more for mine now. Prices have gone up. Out of those two its a hard choice as its petrol or diesel.
Also both are on 35's and lifts over 2inch. Who's gonna RWC that? No one. Minor detail though.

35’s easy to change.
Both have Fox 2.0 shocks.
Which is good for 0-3” lift
Can I just change springs.

Depends on what else has been changed. If its done right the front and rear panhard rods will be adjustable and adjusted to suit, the rear upper and lower control arms may have been changed to suit the 4inch. If its got castor correction bushes or drop boxes in the radius arms. Its not just a matter of swapping out the springs, and shocks. If it was 2inch to stock then it pretty much is.

It’s still just a pipe dream
