Wattsy's 1990 High-roof GQ Wagon

Hey everyone, this is my 1990 Nissan GQ Patrol High-roof wagon. Purchased it last weekend with 262000 k's on the clock, TB42 auto with petrol/gas, factory extras included a sun roof, rear drop sway bar and rear diff lock. Only mods I found were an aftermarket long-range fuel tank and Bilstein shockies. Plan on turning it into a capable tourer, put some 2" lifted springs in it yesterday and plan on a snorkel, 33's, a false floor set up in the back and waterproofing the dizzy before I take it out on the tracks. All help will be greatly appreciated!!

nice mate, great colour combo, must admit I have a soft spot for the high tops

Nice looking truck. Any rust around the sunroof?

Hey mate, there is a tiny bit on the edge yes, and a little bit at the top of the front windscreen but certainly repairable!

Looks great , my mate fitted a compressor from a set of air horns in the engine bay and drilled a hole in the side of the dizzy.
He had some arrangement to lower the pressure,
Everytime he did a water crossing or similar he would hit the toggle switch and pressurize to dizzy so no water would enter.
Never failed him once, I had a similar set up an a HEI dizzy

Always wanted a GQ diesel auto, how do they go??

Its petty 3d hence water proofing the dizzy, time to up the meds man hahahahaha

YAY, more highroof trolls. Loving the colour

Great looking highroof mate, yep I have a soft spot for them as well..............had one years ago

Hey mate, this one is a TB42 Petrol, haven't really been able to test it yet, the alternator failed on the weekend so I've been tracking down another one! Keen to set it up before I do any tracks :D

Got myself an alternator Friday and fitted it that night ready for a trip to the snow on Saturday!! Gave the 4wd and factory rear locker a workout in some deeper than expected snow and all worked well!
