Hey Everyone

Had plenty of 4WDs but mainly ending with OTA...
My first Patrol and planning to bring my 280,000KMs GQ Ute back to its former glory.

Middle aged dude with too much of obsession for 4WDing is me...

cheers

Thanks for welcome AB -

One pressing Question as got some tyres ordered - 285/75/16 fit OK under 1990 GQ without rubbing on the front?

Its got 265/75/16 on there now - Hankook MTs... switching to Falken Wildpeak ATW which I got for good price..........

cheers gus

Welcome Aboard Gusman Mate!
@AB’s out for dinner tonight maybe? [emoji23][emoji106][emoji106]
If my nuffy metric conversions are correct, you will be able to upgrade from 31” tyres to 33” tyres on your GQ with a standard lift/guard clearance [emoji1696][emoji120]
