U didn't like the Dobinson coils??? I only had mine in for a short time but couldn't fault them, but in saying that I haven't tried anything else other the coils that was in it when I bought it which looked to be the originalsQuote:

Might be worth buying detonated Z30 at those prices, LOL
I am finding them too soft for my setup. the thing flexes really well but the rear springs are so soft i hit the bump stops with ease and the body roll just gets silly at times! It wants to lift the front left all the time because the rear just squats and rolls. I have blown a couple of rear shocks and want to rethink this setup.Quote:

Anytime runner think we know the same ppls down your way, I think but no names eh
Well just got home from a Big night in Wombat! Started with a BBQ in a local Campground then some of the best the Wombat has to offer.
Did a few winches, did not break a CV all in all had a great night with a great bunch of guys and girls.
Cheers Dung Beetle for being a great Navi yet again!
Gee getting home late there Runner, great spot Wombat, very lucky here in Vic
the good thing is if you get the armadas you will be able the fit the biggest they offer...12 inch travel definatly need a bump stop extension for.that or you will keep blowing them you would only need 9 to 10 in the front. i have 11 and mine dosnt use the full down travel. to get the front working better the best thing is a rear sway bar. im looking into a currie industries anti rock sway bar for mine as the body roll is outta control. in some situations
Over last day or so have read through the whole thread. WHAT A BUILD lol. Great work and attention to detail by the looks of it.
Seems your GQ is quite a weapon. I just happen to live between Gisborne and Bacchus Marsh about 100mtrs from Wombat so when my rig is moving I would love to catch up and see yours in action. A few things have inspired me lol but see how money goes as always.
awsome rig and looks like an awsome trip!
Well heading into the Gates of Hell tonight! In the Dark!

More like under ground than the ground up, looking at some if those photos.
Looks like you had a muddy good time.
Never argue with an idiot, cos he'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
Pog mo th'oin.
Far out man, that is very epic! Awesome pics and story. Glad there was no injury from the hook, just goes to show hey!?

F!@#, good no injuries Dazz and ya had a ball
Jesus mate looks like you had some fun. Makes me doubt the hooks I have on the front of mine, same as yours.
DIAL-A-TAP
Well guys it was a massive weekend and I have some great photos. There was a great crew of guys out with me and I don't think any of us will ever forget this trip.
I have a fair bit to share about some of the recoveries we were forced to undertake and lessons to be learned from this. I did a triple line pull with my himount and had a 12,000 winch on a second car helping and saw both winches stall out and it took almost 2 hours to become unstuck out of a very sticky bog. Quite extraordinary!
6 cars went in, every car was as modified as my GQ or better and everyone was very experienced in vehicle recovery and the extreme end of our hobby. Safety was number 1 and all care and thought was undertaken. Equipment was tested to its limit and some to failure as noted above.
There were No Cowboys in our group just good men and a great woman that knew what they needed to do and how to get it done.
Come What May.
When I get near my computer I will post a few forum friendly pics.
Cheers Fellas
MR
Cmon Dazz ya had 2hrs since the last post to get your sh1t together with pics man ;)
