MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

Well found a couple of hours to work on the GQ today. I don't have a shed that it fits in so its a pain in the ass to get stuff done!. Grrrrrrr!

Finally dragged out the Treps for a look.

Took the opportunity to replace the rear brake pads too.

I fitted the wheels up for a look but will need to take them off to sort out the guard chop. It turns out the rims are a big offset coupled with the wider GU Diffs and I have to strip off the flares and find some really really fn big flares!!!

Your Simex's are teeny tiny... Hahaha

If you do go the 150mm edging then tight spacing on the fixings mate, they look pox when lazily put on.

Pretty serious tyres though, definitely not a daily driver anymore ;)

need to do a bit more research on the flares. i might even have a look at those moulded ones on ebay? how wide are they? need 115mm!!

No idea but ask Robbo_ he has them.

Check that thread about td fuel consumption there's a pic of his gq on there.

Are you moving the rear diff back a touch??

Thanks AB i have sent him a PM

No.. I would have to buy longer lower arms to do that. in fact i am going to make a slight adjustment to my uppers that will move it forward slightly as i noted there was a rub mark on the Amadas from the spring at full flex.

Where exactly are the springs rubbing on the shock? To me it looks like you have stock length lowers?

Yes mate stock length lowers. I was surprised but had a look and my pinion Angie is pretty straight, I mustnt have made an adjustment when the new lift went in, I will shorten the uppers a degree and will then clear the springs.
