Are you sure It's a GQ the 99 model not a gu?

If It's a GU then it will not fit

I thought they stopped GQ's around 97?

Jesus christ ......600...... do a search on ebay as they list the model they fit and if GQ/GU come up then you know.

The price is about right at $150

Depends what the mounts are like...Do you have a pic of it?

Mounts can be adjustable and fit all types of gutters, If It's fixed and off a GU then it won't fit mate. Let us know, I dont want you to drive that far and it doesn't bloody fit!!!

all that dribble, anyway back to your Q buddy, paid $200 for mine and im assuming the $50 fuel is to retrieve it, so $150 sounds ok to me (providing it fits)

if it is a fixed rail that sits in your rain channels of gutters then it will NOT fit, if it has Rhino roof racks it will fit but the front rack will have a appx 5-10mm spacer as the GU roof is slightly curved at the front, the spacers are not required on the GQ, I swap between the 2 vehicles as required so I know it fits with the Rhino roof rack system

Moreton when you say will not fit does that mean it is to long or not wide enough? Cause if it is to long i was thinking of cutting and chopping and im an ace with the hammer lol,would someone have a look atit in my pics pls...

I dont know if the rain channels are the same width, all I know is the GU at the front is slightly lower than the GQ, it has been a while since I have swapped them over & simply cant remember if I had to adjust the width of the rack from one to the other vehicle
