GQll ??

[Roo]

Good morning fellow Patroller's. I've had a GQ (1989) for years but have just recently bought a new second-andy, a 1996 GQll.

Does the ll in GQll just simply mean series 2? The badging gets a bit confusing at times.

Thanks and regards
Roo.

Yes mate, its a series 2. Can't remember if was 93 or 94 when they came in.

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

[Winnie]

My old Patrol is a 92 and is a GQII

[Clunk]

Well there you have it must be 92-97 for the wagons

What you tapin at!!!!!????

[Winnie]

Well I think it's a series 2 anyway. It has brake and reverse lights in the rear bumper.

Same with my 93.

GQ series II I meant.

[growler2058]

Dont the series 2 have indicators on the front guards

[Winnie]

Do you mean the clear lights at the very front? Mine have indicators in the front panels but not those clear lights

Yeah some sorta gumby lookin light in the side of the front guard

[taslucas]

I think all RX models have those lights. Not sure if RX models came out in Series 1&2 or just 2.

[Dominator]

Yeah the corner courtesy light came out on RX and I believe RX only come out in series II.

Was the 'series 2' sold in Aus in the SWB, hardtop config?

[Roo]

Thanks for that. Very much appreciated but now more dilemma - RX ?? Does it mean somethin good or bad ??

[Clunk]

Kind of in between I guess mate........ mines an RX, has carpets, cloth seats, manual windows, electric windows, central locking and aircon..... what more could you possibly need ;)

DX is the poverty model.... I think the ST has the same as RX but also electric windows. TI has upgraded Velour or leather seats and plusher carpets, chrome numbers I think and some extra body moulding.

What you tapin at!!!!!????

[taslucas]

Ti has electric mirrors too:-)

Did changing the front guards(wider track) happen with the change from series 1 to series 2.?

[gq4200]

The track was the same on all gq's. GU has a wider track. Clear lamps on the front guards came in in 94 sometime and was on all models as far as I know. They also had the factory cup holders and Big Console Lid. Updated Auto Shift lever, new grill .. among other things.
GQ II was from 92 on and offered the EFI petrol engine, New Interior Fabrics, and Engine bay noise deadening.

[Winnie]

I want the big console lid... It's awesome for resting your arm on.

[taslucas]

Any pics of this big console lid? Mines a 91 (so series 1?) but it has a pretty big lid?

FanTapstic!

[Clunk]

Mines a 94 but has a smaller console lid

What you tapin at!!!!!????

Thanks everyone. You've got me on the right track.

You know, I nearly bought a Landcruiser - pleased I didn't. Gawd I love the GQ!
