When I bought the GQ I took an extra 5k loan from the bank...lol

I have just purchased a ride on mower today and I have had a ball cleaning up the property! I'm in severe debt but life is good!!!...LMAO

It's a Silva mower with a 10.5 horse power and 38" deck which munches through the bush perfectly!

It's the hydrostatic series with the heel and toe reverse function and It even has diff locks which is perfect for the holes and undulation. I mowed 2 acres which took 2 hours and would normally take the whole weekend, LOVE IT!!!!!!

Scotty, I would love to hear about your spring loaded, terrain balancing beer holder one day too...LMAO!!!

Ok, well so far I have munched 200 sticks, 3 logs which grinded the blade and some rocks which spat out with an horrific sound.

The mower does not have a stubby holder which was very dissapointing so I have done some serious modifications buy placing a tool belt over the front of the mower head which easily holds 3 cans, 1 pack of smokes, my phone and a lighter which I am quite happy with the result.

I have also converted my chook shed into a half chook pen, half mower home and have put a divider wall in to stop chooks pooing all over my flashy new mower. I put some rock at the front of the shed and built a ramp to get the mower inside but when I drove the mower into the shed the rock/fill compacted down and I actually got bogged...lol...Reversed back, gave it the berries with full bunny rabbit power and got about 1/2" air into the shed and now I am not sure if I can get it out of the shed again but will report back with further modifcations and pics............LMFAO!!!

How did I know you guys would ask that.

I have been researching mowers for a long time now and this is the bees knees for cost and the bush type mowing with sticks, rocks and native clump grass which is like mowing a 100mm thick rope...lol

It's the usual Briggs engine with OHV, etc but has diff locks. bull bar, rear bar, tow bar, mars bar, snickers bars, etc....

This mower rocks, I am one happy mowing camper now!!!

Minus the extra 5k...lol...It's actually a copy Rancher Rover mower....Rover went overseas a while back and this Silva company took over and copied every single part of the Rover style into this design now...It's slightly bigger than the original Rover too and it can climb the hills pretty good around my area.

A Trol with a PTO perhaps? Seriously, if you have a real big yard, get an old Ferguson TEA20 and mower. I bought one a few years ago for $2k when I had 2 and a half acres, and while the neighbours were out with their $4k plus pint size units, I could rip up the paddock in 3rd gear mowing 5 feet wide at a time. I bought all sorts of add-ons for it as well, including a grader blade which laid about 20 driveways in the area and an 8 tine plough that was great for digging up the ground. Even scored a rear-mounted excavator bucket that went on the 3 point linkage. I dug a swimming pool and a BIG fishpond with that. The thing used to wheelstand when it came out of the holes with a full load. The old grey Fergie used to run out of petrol and I would just leave it in the paddock until I needed it again, then fill it up (gravity fed top tank), jump start it and away again. Sold it after 10 years for $1800, so I reckon it cost me close to zero.

Cheers guys,

Introduced myself a few months back when i first started looking for a vehicle.. and got some great info. Very much appreciated too!

It all helped out heaps and i recon i picked up a real good one.

1 Owner from new, elderly couple just using it it to tow a camper away for a holiday once and awhile. 1994, 192ks, duel fuel, with both tanks holding about 80ltrs.. Was able to meet up and chat to the mechanic, see all the vehicle history and have a good look over it on the hoist with him going through any minor repairs done on it with me.

Paid $11,000, with two brand new spare wheels and a vhf fitted. Recon it was a pretty decent deal. The back seats have never even been used, and Hydraulic seats have been fitted to both driver and passenger. About 50% tread left on the 4 fitted tyres.

Will try and put some pics up, having issues with the blocked hosts on this network where i work. grrrrrrr.

:) :)

[fixer982]

It was great while it lasted. Built a 30 sq mudbrick home there. The building you see was the 5 bay garagae I built out of mudbrick to try the stuff out. But that's another story. I read somewhere that the Ferguson TEA20 was the worlds largest selling and longest manufactured tractor. It's only drawback (apart from the Standard Vanguard engine) was a single clutch for both drive and PTO, so you learned to be pretty accurate with the clutch pedal. Loved the block. A place called Lewiston, 40 minutes from Adelaide and 15 minutes from Gawler (10 in the V8 Falcon).

The ex-wife saw to it's sale of course, after all that work. Still, memories.....sigh!

Interesting you raise the rear posthole borer, growler. I borrowed one to plant a 1000 Trees for Life (natural greenie, that's me), and had just finished whacking in the last hole when the then-wife called me over near the laundry door. Not one to keep a woman waiting, I raced across the block, and when I got close, stamped on the turn brake to spin the thing around in its own length. Now those PTO Post Hole Borer's have a lifting hook on the end of the jib (the one I rented did), and it neatly snagged the outer wire of the nearby Hills Hoist and ripped it clean out of the ground, carrying a full head of sheets and pillowcases. Needless to say, the wife was not amused. The worst of it was that she was only asking if I wanted another beer.

[the ferret]

Guys I am after some hinges to use as exchange, I re bush them.
As long as the roller is ok they'll be fine.
Cheers Rod.

[Finly Owner]

Hey Rod so do we send them to you, and pay some $$ and get repaird ones back? Or If I send you two pair do I get 1 pair back if I pay post.

How do you propose to work it?

Tim

[the ferret]

Hi Tim, You pay, I send, you fit and send old ones back, NO Ebay hinges tho, must be genuine with the roller working.
I make new bronze bushes and new stainless pins.
Yep, send me two sets and I'll do you one set for free, I get to keep the other set.
Cheers Rod.

[Finly Owner]

Only fronts?

Tim

[the ferret]

Yeah, as the back door hinges don't wear unless ya have a bunch of kids, or mates lol, mostly driver's side Tim. I find I have to rob the roller sometimes to be able to send a good set back, which leaves me with a hinge I can't repair as there are no rollers available,They are hard faced as well as the pin, so I can't really make them as good as original rollers.
Top hinge is no problem, I can drill em bigger and make a bigger bush.
Cheers Rod.

[Finly Owner]

I have some spares hanging around I'll dig them all up and let you know, but won't happen for few days though.

Tim

[the ferret]

Thanks Tim, it seems to be hinge week, and I have no stock, some returns are very slow, might have to charge a deposit, don't want to.
Cheers Rod.

[Finly Owner]

Well hopefully they will all be honest and do the returns Mate.

[the ferret]

Yeah, 99% are Tim, but after a while you look in the box of hinges and all that is there is stuff that in all concience, you can't send.
But having said that, after a while you end up with other peoples "worn outs'' so you end up with not being able to provide a service, this is part of it.
Not to worry tho, only a hobby, keeps me out of mischief, too windy fer FISH'N ATM lol

Hi everyone,
I am needing an emulsion block. Apparently, the GQ came standard with these under the carby. I have a 4.2 ltr 88 Maverick and the carby has an airlock. I am having alot of trouble locating one of these. Even if you can let me know where I can look apart from wreckers, I would appreciate it. I am also chasing a silver LH fender and door skin.

[Burden]

Looking for a roof rack - want full length tradie style or would also consider a full or 3/4 cage type rack. Alloy or steel. If you have one that you wanto sell on let me know. I am in Geelong, Vic - will travel around vic or possibly SA on my way to Alice in a couple of weeks.

Thanks guys.

Hey Bungel, ever though of making up a set of your own??? There's a few of the guys on here who have and I think are on their threads, XLR8, AB and Warnie have I believe, can't remember if they have actually finished them yet and also can't remember who else has had a go.

I would be right into it if i had the time, but am working away on a 4/1 roster.. so no time at all to sadly.

Hi Chris,

I would get in contact with Patrolapart (http://www.patrolapart.com.au/)and Hall4x4 (http://hall4x4.com.au/) for the air vent and glove box lock in Melbourne and freight up to you.

Extra tall roof rack would be hard to find. I would find a cheap one on ebay and weld on higher mounting plates if it was me.

[chrissey]

Hi AB!
Thanks for the link, I will get in touch with them and hopefully they ve got what I am after hehe. Finding a roof rack that fits a safari is in deed a bit of a pain, at least if you want to save a dollar and get 2nd hand ones.
cheers mate,

Wanted - Patrol GU Auto Wagon, prefer 4.5 petrol with gas conversion + extra's or would consider deisel depending on model. Will spend up to $16000 depending on condition, mileage, extra's etc. Very fussy about condition and Prefer low Km's. Northside brisbane.

[Bigrig]

Would you consider a late model GQ? For the money, you are looking at something with a lot of miles either way - don't discount other states also - for the price of an airfare well worth looking into Vic and NSW also. I'm sure members on here would be able to assist from time to time in going and sussing out the car for you.

Slightly older model will probably see you into something pretty solid. Make sure you hunt around hard - good ones pop up frequently, but go quick. Example - I paid $7500 for mine and fair enough have put a truck load of gear on it over time, but it hasn't missed a beat, has no rust (major factor for me), and leaves money over to put into mods and running maintenance etc.

Good luck with the hunt mate - I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you in my travels.

[Bob]

Will keep a Eye out for you Mate. A 98 GU with 2.8 Litre Diesel (6 Cyl) with 180,000 K's just went for about $12,000 on ebay.
Best of Luck on you search.

[Nanango]

Have a 96 GQ TB42E LWB wagon and am planning a trip in the near future. Will need to carry extra fuel, so looking at aux fuel tank (approx 70L) and a snorkel to suit. Also interested in a long range tank to suit a 2" lift, but have a hayman reece towbar and I believe Long range tanks and these towbars ar not exactly compatible. Am currently on the Central Coast (NSW) but heading back to QLD in about a weeks time, so anything between Sydney and Brissie would be good.

[Bob]

Try this one Pete

[growler2058]

A mate just got quote for a landcrabber petrol $750 for an alternator!!!! We pulled it apart yesyerday and all it needs is a $60 brush kit.

[Cadbury]

That sounds a hell of a lot better,

[growler2058]

The brush pack came off relitively simply but we kept going and carefully stripped it right down to make sure it was clean around the armature (it had seen some very serious mud). Lesson learnt for us after heaps of mud wash out the bugger. The brushes had just got mud in em and werent pushing on to the armature, now clean they'll work fine. Hes gunna replace anyway and keep the old ones spare.

[Cadbury]

I might give it a try pulling it apart first before I go and spend a fortune.
Thanks mate

Got a big trip coming up and looking around for a long range fuel tank for a GU 3.0TD. Still the standard tanks on board (90Lt main adn 30Lt Sub) and looking to carry a bit more without carrying jerry cans. There are plenty of news ones out there but +$1100 is a little rich for me at the moment so second hand out of a wreck with front ned damage only would be ideal.

I'm in sydney so will travel for the right price.

[BearGUST]

Are they still for sale? I went to the dealer, the caps on the 17's look like they'd fit.

[Crowman23]

Howdy I'm looking for the following;
Brake Booster
Exterior Door Handles or maybe a complete GQ Wagon

[BillsGU]

I had the same problem with mine and I bought some clips from my local Nissan dealer. They are rectangular with "teeth" on the inside. I took the bumper off and pressed the clips over the plactic tabs until they turned inside out - ie the teeth were facing upwards and biting into the plactic tabs. The clips were fairly cheap and I have not had a problem since - even after some serious off road trips.

[04OFF]

The problem is that very often you will bust off some of the plastic tab/tounges that those metal jaw clips push onto, then your stuffed ,I knocked my lights out about 3 times off roading, and had already replaced the light surrounds.





What i ended up doing with mine, was to drill a small hole in each corner of the plastic surround (inside where you cant see from the outside) then used cable ties to pull the surrounds in snug (then refit the lens)


The beauty of the cable ties is, the next time you scrape the bum, the cable ties allow a fair bit of flex/movement , my lights have never fallen out again, once i hit mine so hard it bent the metal on the lower rear gaurd, but the light remained secure.




And at the worst, if you do pop a light, its dead easy to keep a few cable ties in the glovebox, and re-fit it in 2 min, just before you have to drive home. :animierte-smilies-t

[Rahrah]

Hi Mat, I've got one. Only problem is I'm in Qld, and its still in the truck. Beautiful engine, fires on the first kick every time. The wreckers price over here is between 1100.00 & 1500.00 bare. I'm new to the site so I don't know if we can discuss price, however I'm willing to let mine go for less. The main problem would be getting it out of the truck as I'm full of arthritis. If your still interested, email me and we'll try an work out a solution. Cheers

[YNOT]

You can discuss price publically if you want but some prefer to do things like that especially private information like phone numbers and addresses via PM (Private Message). The link to the PM page is under the MQ at the top of the page.

I'm sure myself and a few other locals could help you get the engine out if you do sell it.

Tony

[Rahrah]

Thanks for the offer YNOT. The trucks complete at the moment, and I would rather sell it complete. I think its the last of its kind in Australia. Its a 82 hightop safari wagon. Import. Unfortunately the rust has really attacked the top, especially around the sunroof. Its fixable, but a lot of work. The Japenese use salt on the ice on their roads. Excellant motor, only done 200,000km. When I got it, she had 65,000km on the clock. Has automatic locking hubs, sports dash, passable buckets, 5sp manual gearbox. You could drive it to Perth. However, its been sitting around for 2 yrs so wrecking may be the way to go

[Bigrig]

Yes BR I also had mine taped but it dried off after a couple of years!! Time to do it right so I'll put this little job on the agenda!

Sooooo ... more tape you mean??? lmao!!

[Bigrig]

Knowing me then yep probly! haha

Good boy!!! You get a biscuit!!! lmao

[MQ MAD]

The wreckers price over here is between 1100.00 & 1500.00 bare.

Depends which wreckers, most dont stock the old stuff anymore
They leave collecting the older stuff for us diehards
Saying that ,a mate paid $850 for a long motor from the wreckers (no manifolds or such)
Put it in , ran for 1 day and rod thru the block
"No warranty as is , where is"
Wrecker said "How can i warrant an old engine" ???
Id dunno ??? For $850 id like to hear it run first,thatll be a start

Good luck with the search,theyre getting harder to get unfortunately
Rebuild kit will sting ya over a grand,just the kit,no labour

Yep spot of paint and you wouldn't even know they're there. Thanks for replying Col.

FYI mine hasn't been fixed yet! Too many distractions (or maybe too much procrastination!!)

Shoot down to local bolt bloke, grab some of those nice black Allen key bolts and nylock nuts, and put 1 on either side of the cowling, I reckon that would look very neat and it wouldn't move.. Just another random thought lol

Pity about that katwoman, im in the west and my full length ally rack is sitting in the shed gathering dust.

I just noticed another piece you will need AB, the elbow the bolts to the standard inlet manifold.
There are 2 different versions of the elbow, the one shown below is the most common and has the over boost pressure relief valve on it, the other version has this blanked off. It's easy enough to remove the PRV and replace it with a threaded blanking plug. The PRV is set to vent over about 14Psi.

Haha yer ill say, talk about a wide stance lol

ha ha yeah i know but these days, when the car falls into ruts or slides towards walls, rather the tyres hit first, just bit of extra protection :)

[Bigrig]

ha ha yeah i know but these days, when the car falls into ruts or slides towards walls, rather the tyres hit first, just bit of extra protection :)

Not sure that you aren't asking for a fairly high chance of a wobble at speed with that much offset mate - may not, but the Ackerman angle is getting smashed with a -44 offset so just be prepared for that is all I'd suggest ... oh ... and tyres wearing out on the outer edges and squealing/grinding around corners as the scrub radius will be getting a major upset also ..

[big_fletch]

ha ha yeah i know but these days, when the car falls into ruts or slides towards walls, rather the tyres hit first, just bit of extra protection :)

Well that is a very good point I think, I do have to agree with that logic lol..
Also agree with Scotty above

[blazza]

oh true, i didn't even think of that scotty, i have a few mates who have 15x10 with that offset and havent said anything bad about them yet, will have to look more into it then, cheers

[Bigrig]

oh true, i didn't even think of that scotty, i have a few mates who have 15x10 with that offset and havent said anything bad about them yet, will have to look more into it then, cheers

Might be fine mate - but steering/suspension geometry is specifically designed with the "factory" settings in mind .. you may have no issue with the wobble, but at that offset, I reckon your mates are telling porky pies (or are just oblivious) with regards to tyre wear and cornering etc if they reckon it's just like it was before ... its just not possible to be the same unfortunately ..

Good luck with it either way champion - it's an awesome looking rig, and the stance would be tough as with that offset!!!

[blazza]

yeah i think your right scotty, i already get the typical wobble at 80k's as the nissan's do, i know i need to invest in a bigger steering damper as i've gotten bigger suspension now, maybe the 15x8 with -22 i got now might be a keeper ha ha :)

so when are you getting your 5 inch lift scotty? and would u be going to mud bulls and music this year in october?

[Bigrig]

Fitting the suspension saturday week over at YNOT's ... can't wait.

Planning on a run down to Melbourne in late October mate, so won't be able to make that one unfortunately! When are you next up for a wheel at Beerburrum or up your way??

oh nice, be tough looking unit with the 5 inch lift, yeah at the moment im only home for 3 days from my roster and one of them is a week day so can imagine having trouble trying to get the rig fixed but after this weekend should be all good then thinking going up to double island for the weekend around the 30th july, but let us know when thinking next to heading out to glass house or around there, and have you been out 4x4ing at bell forestry?

I run a 15x10 with -44 offset and the only wobble I get is under breaking at slow speeds.. its just the tyres flexing BTW. I bought mine (Dynamica) for $120 a pop

Bumpety bump bump.

Still looking for all the same gear at present. Im not back in Perth until the 2nd of August, but would like to sort things out before then. Otherwise will be buying brand new when i get back.

Cheers for any help.

I have an alloy bullbar but not sure that suits what you're after ... if you're in Perth, it would cost to send it over, but if you want to pay that - it's yours ... there is a photo of it in the for sale section I think, but another below:

Cheers for the offer mate. It will probebly cost too a bit too much in courier fees.

Thanks anyways, hope it sells for a good amount.

Hi All,

I'm looking for genuine jack for a GQ Patrol and if possible the Jack rod, and jack handle/wheel brace.

I was hoping someone might have a spare and would be willing to part with it for a nominal fee.

If anyone can help, they can PM me here.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hey mate

I'm looking at buying an exhaust jack as mine is too high now for the standard jack anyway, so if you can wait a week or two, you can have mine for a beer or two!!

Cheers
