Phunkshun's GQ TD42

[phunkshun]

G'day all

So I have a TD42 GQ Patrol, bought it pretty stock full grandpa spec tow rig, paints a bit rough around the edges but that doesn't worry me a lot.

Mods so far:
DTS turbo kit - already on her
3" straight through exhaust
Air bags in coils
UHF
Electric trailer brakes
Steel bullbar
Airflow snorkle
Roof Rack

Mods to come:
3" lift
5" shocks
Shock tower extensions
5 Link front end
Remove air bags
Rear draws
Dash pod for Gauges and UHF
Stainless snorkle
Remove one of the two airboxs
33" Tyres
Comp style bullbar
Rear steel bar with swing away tyre carrier
and some other stuff I can't think of right now :p

I'm also in the process of building a comp truck with a mate that is also a GQ but full broke arse budget spec

Cheers

Nice base mate. Look forward to seeing it evolve.

Beautiful colour - is that a green or charcoal - hard to tell under the lights but looks great

[phunkshun]

It's the Green colour but unfortunately the sun has ruined the clear coat on the bonnet and the drivers side

Got rid of the crappy old single din head unit, fitted a Double din touch screen unit and cleaned up some wiring

Bloody terrible home job

Fitted plugs so if I ever put another head unit in easy to make an adaptor harness

How do you find the touch screen to use? I was considering one but it is so low down and behind the gear stick that i would imagine it gets pretty annoying?
Its hard enough trying to adjust the volume on mine haha :icon_bonk:

[JackoGQYoot]

I've got a touchscreen head unit. love it. it came with a little remote, which works very well. also has the volume controls hard mounted on the side anyway.
cheers

I found the touch screen easy to use, it has a remote but I either have it on radio, cd or bluetooth. If I use bluetooth I set it up before I get going but swapping between radio and cd I don't even need to look now
