My 2005 GU ST

[Shaun 4x4]

Just picked up my new Patrol last night.

Got nearly everything on it I would have done and at a decent price
ARB deluxe steel bull bar with 12000lbs winch
ARB steal roof rack
2" tough dog lift
Light Force spotties
Black widows drawers with fridge slider
Dual battery setup
UHF and Alpine head unit

My future plans include
Bigger tyres
On board air compressor
ARB diff lockers
Front and rear light bars
Screen with four cameras

I'm sure there's more but can remember at the moment.

Well here is some pictures any way

Looks great Shaun....Nice and Neat, just like a GU should be.

Now - off to get it dirty.

You know when you drive around and see all the other 4x4s out there and one just looks right.
Well thats what you have , it just looks right, well done, now get it dirty ,you know you want to LOL
Not over done sensible accessories, credit to previous owner.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Great looking rig you got there buddy.

[Shaun 4x4]

Cheers guys. Do you guys know what the max size tyre I could get on there with out rubbing.
I'm thinking a 33/12.5r17 or maybe a 35/12.5r17 if possible?
I have looked through the forum but little luck so far

[megatexture]

33s will be fine just take off the front mud flaps they are crap anyway and will rip off on there own sooner or later.
35s on mine rub on the top inner of the rear wheel arches and on the fuel tank filler guard (easily modified with a little heat and manipulation) can't vouch for the front as I've got radius arm spacers

Smick looking rig though wanna swap lol

[Shaun 4x4]

Nar only had it for a day.

Might just go the 33s to be safe.
Then again what about if I added a 1" body lift with the 35" tyres?

[happygu]

33's will catch on the front passenger side mudflap on full lock.

To stop this either, be careful about a fast u turn, put 16mm spacers in the front radius arms, or remove the flaps

Mic

[happygu]

Looks like your tyres now are 285s. That will be close to 33s in size

Mic

[Shaun 4x4]

Yer they are a 285 but I want to go to a 315 in either a 33 of 35

[Stropp]

Nice looking rig mate 3.0 or 4.2?

[Shaun 4x4]

It is a 3.0

[Clunk]

Looks quite nice for a GU ;)

Don't slap it, tap it!!!!

[Shaun 4x4]

Cheers guys. Hit my first mud run on the weekend.

Mundijong power lines. Was so much fun.

Bit of an update on my progress,
New rims and tires go on this week. 16" king wheels in black with 305/70/16 Mickey Thompson MTZs
Nads Kit with autron egt and boost pressor gauge in one.
Battery monitoring kit with a manual override isolator to connect both batteries if i ever need to

Once this is all done then i will be:
A power chip.
Turbo timer.
Replacing both my batteries to hybrid deep cycle starters as one of my current batters is kaput and the other is an old serviceable one.
Led light bars.
Powder coating the front bar black and adding scrub bars and rock sliders.

And im sure there is more i want but that should keep me goin to the end of the year. ;)

If you don't mind me asking what your tyres cost you, if you rather not say publicly, you can PM me.

[Shaun 4x4]

i dont mind $437 each.

[MEGOMONSTER]

i dont mind $437 each.

Not a cheap way to go are they , but the best tyre in the market.

[Shaun 4x4]

Yer a couple of guys on here recommended them to me. Well was the 4 ribs but after last weekend of mud driving i realized mud is so much more fun then sand!!!

Yeah looks tough

[threedogs]

I'm running 305 mickey Ts with a 50mm lift, great choice not too noisey. Mine on last legs still not too bad,
Will buy them again I think, fill the guards nicely, dont like that skateboard look

[Shaun 4x4]

Cheers guys.

I would like it a little higher with some 35s. I reckon I would have made it up the one climb that stopped me on the weekend.

Was that on the powerlines?..... Remember where abouts it was?

Tapped on crappola MC

[Shaun 4x4]

Yer at the powerlines. To be honest I don't know where I was. I could get there again buy driving it if someone got me out there again. Lol

[Shaun 4x4]

Looking at google maps I think it was betweent cole road and tank hill road.

[albone90]
