My 92' TD42 GQ

[Ned Fisch]

Here is my first trol. Not the tidiest of rigs on the outside, but much potential.
Very tidy on the inside though.

As you will see, I have changed the wheels. I got my hands on 4 GU 17" alloys, something different, but I think they're looking good. I acquired the vehicle with 15x10 -44 Sunnies and 33" Bighorns. The Sunnies are an illegal offset wheel, and being on my Green P's, it's not worth the worry of running them.

My plan is to soon install a 2" suspension lift and get a set of 33" Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's for my 17's, my girlfriend works for Exclusive tyre distributors, which they bring in MT's, so I am lucky for that. I just need to get one more GU rim to make a matching spare.

This is how she looks now. Still gotta get rid of that stupid tow strap.

I am putting in new injectors this week, installing a larger air box and intake lines, new exhaust, where I will try to do as much out of steel as possible, stainless that is. Some good TLC, tidy up of the engine bay.

I will be selling the alloy bullbar, not a very big fan of them, would much rather a black one, which I will probably make it myself. Those spotlights will be used for camping and what not, I will be getting a decent set of Hella's.
The truck has rock slides installed, so my plan will be to run scrub bars from the from bar to the slides. I will also be making a roof rack, as I do a lot of kayak fishing, so it will be needed. I will be getting an awning, not sure what yet, so any recommendations would be great.

It's all a working progress, a never ending project.. I'm sure it will be a never ending process.

Congrats on the new beast mate, it's a td42 so looks do not matter.

Look forward to seeing it grow!

Getting a few bits this week, so should have some good progress to show by next Sunday.

Playing around, put the new injectors in, and a new "Start/stop" solenoid, but now one more injector has dropped, pain in the ass. Seems to have some gunk in the injector, so I will take it back out this arvo, and have a look. We will most probably send it back to be tested and recond'. The old "start/stop" solenoid had actually chipped the end of it's point that's on the spring. I believe that has been pulled through the fuel pump and has caused the issue with the injectors. Regardless of that, I am having fun, learning a lot along the way, and I know once she's done, it'll be a mean truck.

Currently have the guards off, doing some panel beating, tidying up the snorkel set up. Will get a photo of the engine bay this afternoon. Will start mocking up a larger air intake and tidying up the wiring and hoses. I am really like the rims!
