I love GQ's because of their versatility and ability to be parted out or put into museums. :icon_victory:

You should see my 'brag wall' at home. It's full of pics of GQ and Tojo recoveries.

My kids have several GQ tinka toys. We practice getting them bogged in the sandpit and then my GU comes along and recovers them :icon_driving: .

I love my GU. :bananarock:

Take care out there.

What's that song ... oh yeah, now I remember ...

"Oh Lord, its hard to be humble ...
When you're perfect in every way ..."

But alas, us GQ drivers don't feel the need to post up new threads spattering the forum with taunts about other model owners ..

I know another group of people who feel the need to sprout off how proud they are as if nobody already noticed, and how they just want respect (coz that's the way to go about it of course) ... it's a big event held in Sydney each year!!!!!

LMFAO!!!!

I'll say it again Rossco...

Why is it when someone has something that they are not overly happy with and are somewhat jealous of what others have they feel the need to try and put the other people down by bragging about how "great" their vehicle is but we know deep down old mate that the true love lies in the heart of the GQ Rossco my man!!!

The true love lies in the ol GQ!!!....LMAO

Haha ... wouldn't dream of it - that'd be a cruel use of power against someone who's obviously got a problem that we should all try to help with!!!

Oh Ross mate, too tired for a come back at the moment, BUT..............it will happen mate..LOL

Just for the record............

I love all Patrols and am just trying to spice the forum up a bit and get a few people out the woodwork.

For many people, there will always be the rivalry, bit like Ford versus Holden. lol

On that subject....I always was a Holden man, then drove the XR6 turbo, and the rest is history. lol

I always have and always will help a GQ or a GU owner, anywhere, anytime. I get grumpy when I get woken up, but I will help. LMAO.

Take care out there.

Come on guys, don't be too harsh..... Grunts obviously got a superior vehicle.....I mean did you miss the bit in his first post where he says he can pull a toy car out of a sand pit? Now I know why the use of the name "grunt"!
Hahaha

And I bet DX doesn't even get the U's wheels in the sand, but stays carefully on the hard stuff.

I'm sure it would be lovely to own a 'U, just because they are a bit (quite a bit) newer. Starting to chase rust in my 89 Mav and the rubber bits are getting old as well. Still seems good value for $$

Don't stress, mine's getting some surface rust on the roof coz of the stone chips and where the roof rack used to be. I need to give it some TLC.

Just yesterday I had to replace the indicator flasher thingie coz it blew and hand signals are so embarassing. lol

Take care out there.

Hey Silver, you know me too well. lol.

I go on mud and sand when and if I have to. I tend to shy away from them as I've still got skinny wheels and am always being recovered. My confidence is slowly building. SLOWLY, being the operative word. As the old saying goes, if you fall off a horse, get straight back on. Which I'm doing.

I have a policy of not going 4wding by myself - Justin Case. So it has been a bit hard to get out there. Plus, I'm not really interested in spending hours and hours cleaning my 'whitey'. lol

Anyway, enough of being serious. Time for more banter. lol

Take care out there.

A mate got his GU from the ses in SA and it has the real skinny tyres on split rims. He is going to replace them as soon as they wear out......but they just won't wear out! I think it's about three years by now.

I have over the years owned GQ’s and GU’s and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
The GQ with its big square body looks tough and it is and they just keep on going and going. My Son in Law has a 91 GQ 4.2 Litre Petrol that has done over 550,000 K’s and the Motor just Purrs.
The GU is a lot more comfortable and with the 4.5 & 4.8 Litre Petrol plus 4.2 TD are a good strong unit. The early GU’s with the 3.0 Litre Motor was a bit of a Problem and I still think even with the Current 3 Litre Motor is under powered especially down low in Revs.
I love the comfort of the GU now that I am getting on in years but hey they have all been fantastic Trucks.
