Big_Fletcha's GU III

Well i know i have already posted some pics of my patrol in the introductions area but i thought i would start a build thread as well for future mods.

My ride is a 2002 GU III, Gold and a Manual.
So far i have built a rear worklight bracket for spare wheel and mounted worklight. (Hella Twin beam, awesome at night)
I have also added:
- TJM bullbar
- lightforce 240XGT
- UHF and CD player
- 55w 6000k HID Hi/Low headlight upgrade (well worth doing)
- Airtec Snorkel that i myself have fully sealed
- Duel Bat system
I have also added manual boost with dawes and needle valve. Boost peak is 17psi and sits around 10-12psi at 110km/h with Exhaust temps around 260-300.

Future plans will be 33" tyres (unsure of what to get at the moment) and a 3" lift.
Will keep thread updated with progress :cheers:

love the gauges setup, very neat

That is one nice Rig & I very much agree with Tod those gauge pods are flash as...........

Very nice Fletch, thats going to be a rippa ride. Have to keep us posted on future mods.

Dw I will be keeping thread updated.. next couple weeks will be tyres.. was thinking bighorns or maybe something like mtz's... so many choices :1087:

Looks great, did you have to make a bracket for the cd and uhf? that was one of my plans on the to do list but i havent got htat far yet.

Very nice mate, looking forward to seeing the new boots

On mine I used the original brackets off factory radio as my uhf is din sized, brackets off old and onto new

who cares about the cd and uhf..... look at the setup on the gauges!!!! wish i had something setup like that on my gq, time to start investigating on the how two's....i don't even know what gauges i would put in.....but i want one now!!!!!

I got the gauge pod from company called autron and am running vdo gauges, match perfectly with dash colouring.. another update ordered my bfg km2's today so will get pics up when fitted..$320 a tyre fitted and balanced for 285/75 16.. very happy with that purchase:bananadancing:

Might have to take you up on the recommendation, unfortunately the GQ one is universal and not painted, and knowing me it would still be unpainted the day i laid the Patrol to rest *L*

Yer my pod came unpainted as well, I don't see why you would lay the patrol to rest though, we all know it will go 4eva Haha

Quick update i got my new tyres fitted today, my new 285/75 16 BFG Km2 mud terrains. Looks heaps better now i reckon haha

Very nice Fletch, I want some but they will have to wait awhile.

You won't be dissapointed mate, guranteed!!!....lol

Well I have already taken them for try out bush, through some mud holes and some steep rocky hills, you are right AB, they are a lot better than my highway 1's Haha.. very happy with them so far

nice that black felgs

Just a quick up date, have changed all of the front parker lights in my car to LED's to match the headlights.. Looks alot better and here is a pic.. Picture is from the Vic meetup trip as well haha

Time to suck up to the bank man now...lol

Hey Dogman, Yer considering it was raining virtually the whole time, was actually realli nice, something abit different.. Driving through the forrest while it was pissing down.. Rather nice

Haha oh the joys hey AB.. U keep up doing the dishes and i imagine you can have anything you like lol

A little update will be ordering a 2" Suspension Stuff Flexi lift this week and hopefully a set of proper steel rock sliders.. If finances allow also hopefully a Steel cage roof rack to top it off haha:bananarock:
