AB's new GQ is finally here

To answer your question, no idea yet. Good rubber compound....road runner, bush ranger, custom rubber from old mate clarky, anything but this mate.

Cheers mate,

I use to work for a company that bought UES products and they also sold flares so might have to see what they have and order some in at hopefully cost price

Not sure what there flares would like on a Patrol: http://uesint.com/shop/category/rubb...ency-vehicles/

Will have to see I can get a sample of em :)

Not wide enough. I wish they were as I love the look of them.

Yeah I just went out to the shed to see how far gone my factory flares are and I think I can clean them up as I like them the most...

Great another thing I have to paint.. blah!!!!

I'm not a Tec screw fan either.

Plenty more options.

Nutsert/rivnut, nut and bolt or even just utilising nissans mounts with some kind of tab, I have the commercial 3M tape as well. I know that sounds ridiculous but back in my sign days using this to mount ribbing on the back of 10m wide freeway gantry signs you had to use a shipload of force and two hands to reef the ribbing back off if you wanted to remove it.

They use that stuff to hold aeroplane wings together!!!

How come this thread is still 'operational' after 3 1/2 years? lol

After all, we are talking about a GQ, aren't we? hahaha

Is this really a worry if wanting to run 35's? I thought there was a genuine flare that was wider or someone made something similar?

So much has been done since then. Ill update this page soon.

A lot of love is happening to my gq in coming weeks as it started to get neglected and treated like a pig so stay tuned!

Just finished putting a large wrx front mount ic in, moved the condenser back to allow room and amazingly it fit snug behind the grille by just removing the fins and covered with new mesh, sprayed the grille black too.

Got very lucky (although it was planned) that the entry and exit points from the ic snugly fit just under the headlights where the plastic mould of the grille comes out further, otherwise I would of had 3" pipe coming outside the grille looking very ugly!

My tyres are almost done so I'm upgrading to 35" km2's.

Going to cut front and rear guards to accommodate the new tyres, get some better flares on as well. The Bunnings flares are just crap, I have ruined them and makes the car look rough!

Install new satphone dock that was under warranty.

Get ba's bar on, rebuild high mount and install.

Rear quarter chop may be done whilst cutting guards too, still deciding...

Looking at using large custom shs for rear bar to suit the gq box look, prefer that look then tubes.

Upgrade turbo and pump in the future as well but no idea on what I even want to be honest. As matty mentioned, ill check out some other members set ups for inspiration...lol

Lots happening though!!!

Stay tuned.

Creating a list for myself...holy crap!!!

New bolts for 3d's recovery points due to new bar
Sat phone dock
New km2
High mount rebuild install and fairlead, rope and controller
Rear quarter cut and front guard chop
Front mud flaps
Rear bar
Upgrade turbo and pump, 3" elbow to inlet manifold
Need rear slide windows
Rossco selling me his arb compressor when he gets his air locker
New airbox
Indicators on new bar
New water bottle
Mesh on roof rack
New flares
Door hinges
Put a half decent stereo and speaker system in...lol.

I've got one but your a tad too are away. They stick out too far for my liking and decrease approach angle

The bar that I gave johnathan is actually the best winch bar you could get for a low mount winch but maintaining maximum approach angle.

This definitely sticks out a lot more but obviously needed for the highmount.

Hey BA, want to swap? Lol

Quick question, how do you fit a low mount winch to one of these bars? I only ask coz there's a possibility I may be getting one for fathers day

Which one?

If your talking about my new bar then that is a good question.

You should start another thread if you don't get an answer but you may need to space the winch back with the returns of the bar either side.

New bolts for 3d's recovery points due to new bar

Run mandrel bends on aux tank main filler... Winnie, you need to do this too after simmo experience.

Yes I know. There are lots of other things I need to do as well

Ordered parts for the high mount and emailed warn for some pretty stickers...

Will not have a winch for the meet up in 2 weeks though!

Just bolt the other winch back in for now if you like..?
