Hi everyone, just bought my first real 4wd and am loving it..
It's an old 4.2 petrol gq but the previous owner was an offroad nutter/wincher and has done all the major stuff for me. Its not a daily driver.
Arb air lockers, TJM ox bar and winch. Very long travel suspension and 35' mud's with a total roof clearance height of 2.3 meters without the roof cage (which is on order).

It's alot different to the Mitsubishi Triton ute i use to have.. lol
Now i just need to set it up to suit the offroading i will be doing out west and up north with the SSAA farmer assist programs i do. (Pest Mitigation)
Its definitely not a pretty rig but from the photo's i saw of what it was doing, i think it should be able to tackle most things.
I wish it had a few more ponies as i also tow a camper and i'm sure this forum will steer me in the right direction, after all it's alot cheaper to learn from other peoples mistakes than doing them yourself :biggrin:

Welcome mate, surely the best forum on the net. If you need it, you can get it, if you want to know it, just ask it.
If you want to find it, go to the search bar for a universe of information.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the greatest show on earth.

Hi mate and welcome if its that high already I'd be careful lifting the centre of gravity higher with a roof rack.
Good to see another Hunter as well
