Gday guys, just wondering if anyone has seen these cracks before or if it's a one off problem. It's a 2009 GU patrol wagon 3ltr

whats the history of the Patrol is it EX mines or anything like that.??
Only time I have seen cracks like that is on a rally car. This car has done some serious off roading.
# Bill you think the chassis is bent???
I have never seen it on a GU before, so that is a first.
However, the inner guards crack on the GQ ( usually on the actual bits over the wheels - not on the main support rails ) and I had that happen to mine as I spent three years in the Northern Territory ....... the things is I saw it on various truck up there too .... including the all Landcruisers at our work, and one of our two Patrols ... one of the cruisers was busted through in the middle of the centre door pillar, so it can happen to all vehicles.
I would be pulling off the front guards to see how far the cracks have progressed, as otherwise you may end up with a worse situation

Be nice to post up an intro too ,just something the forum asks of us all.
polite and all
It has certainly flexed. The entire front end would have had to move a fair bit to do that.Quote:

Flat desert country, how long have you had it??
Only cracks I've seen have been the inner guards on GQs with poorly installed battery cradles.
I never heard of GUs having the same problem
