Whats the difference in a GU9 to a GU8, anyone know

18th April 2013, 10:17 PM
hey mate i read the only difference is 2 extra airbags in the sides i believe. so adding side rails/ brush bars might be interesting

Hi guys, yes that's correct. I picked up my GU9 from the dealer today and checked out the differences from the GU8. The only difference seems to be the addition of the airbags contained in the front seats, everything else looks exactly as the GU8 except there's a sewn in tag on the upper portion of the seat indicating an installed airbag. You can slightly feel the airbag through the upper sides of the front driver and passenger seats. Pretty snazzy beast of a vehicle... Still not ready to give up on my 80 series landcruiser though <winky face>

Nice Rig, Factory rear locker, half way there, As for the winch you've got. Pull it to bits and re pack it with some marine grease and seal the gearbox up. Learnt that the hardway with mine. they use next to no grease on assembly and the grease they use is rubbish. Hope this helps. Enjoy!!
