My first GQ shorty

[GQJays]

Hey guys, I have just bought my first GQ and have decided to join this forum...seems I am in the right spot, I bought the GQ because my previous truck was prone to breaking and a bit of a pig in the bush, probably shouldn't mention it here but it was a Toyota Bundera with a 252 chev v6 with no p/s, no a/c...all I can say about it is it was a pig and always breaking...
My GQ...its a 91 model SWB, 4.2 Carby Petrol, its done a few k's but still purrs and looks as though I'll get a few more k's out of the old girl, it also has the p/s I wanted and a/c which is a must living in Rocky...
Some of the mods already done are;
4" Dobinsons coils
OME shocks
33/12.5/15 Cooper STT's
Rear quarter cut
Rear bar
Long range tank
Safari snorkel
Dual battery setup with fridge plug in the back
Air compressor under driver seat
UHF
Pioneer sound system with amp under passenger seat
Brand new extractors and 2.5" exhaust

Mods to come;
Xrox winch bar (already in the mail)
Mean Mother 9500lb winch (already in the mail)
Reco gearbox ( already booked in)
Maybe a front diff lock

Here are some pics...will upload more as soon as I get her out in the scrub, I hope you guys like what I've done with it and if anybody has any ideas please let me know...sorry wont let me upload pics right now...will try again later

Hey mate - if the pics are too big (file size) they won't upload. How big are they? Looking forward to seeing them!
