Well I spent a few hours under the GQ last weekend with a little jimmy bar loosening up all the mud a d then pressure washed just the underside of the car. 4 hour job at least!
Let it all dry for a week and after filling all the Dog Dug pot holes in the back yard this is what I raked up out of the grass!

Holy Crap!
Here is a radiator that has had a fare hit with the pressure washer and still looks like this!

Glad I took it out and worth considering for everyone that goes in a bog hole. You can't get to this without taking it out.

That trip looks mad mate
go 24v you'll love it
Cheers mate I'm pretty keen on a 24v setup and working that way. Just have a few things on the buy now list first. The car is still not rolling after that trip.
I removed your link but that's Hells Gate. Winching exercise. Pointless to be honest. You don't go there to drive. You will drive no more than 20% of the track and skull drag the rest on a double line pull.
Never need to do it again. Tick that box
Well I just stripped the 6hp winch motor and this is what I found!!

Hey MR just spent the better part of 3 hours going through your thread gotta say MAAAAAATTTTTTTEEE you've got an awesome rig and balls the size of cocnuts going through that much mud and winch efforts. I think I'll stick to my beach runs and sand dunes with a few simpler tracks than to go anywhere with you.
Cheers for the Write up though, just wondering what boost are you running though your turbo and intercooler setup dont think i saw it but that could be tired eyes
cheers Shane
To meet him you would say there is nothing unusual about him but deep down I think there is the odd chromosome missing!!!Quote:

Glad you enjoyed the read mate! It's been a slog.
It's all true. Lol
To my embarrassment though if you check out the "treds" promo on 4wdtv you will find Danny's Zook trying out the Treds and a big White GQ (me) failing in a little trench. Check it out. Damn it I was filming and should have pressed erase! Maybe I should have put it in 4wd though? Hmmm will try that next time. Lol
What RPM do you hit 16psi at?
Excuses excuses!!!!!!!Quote:

Heading over the Biders 4x4 in Cranbourne this morning to collect 2 GU diffs for the GQ, the front has been. Freshly Braced and ready for me to fit my diff centres too! Excited!
While I'm over that side of town ill drop into Somerville to G&S Tyres and grab a new Bow2 6.5hp motor and 24v booster solenoid for the Himount!
Easter will be spent under the GQ!!
That sounds like fun Darren, so when are you going to put it to the test ??
He's gonna bring it to talarook next month!
If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
Maybe if we go down and give him a hand Chris WE can take it for a test run for him lmao!!!
Your very welcome to help me lug these diffs mate! They are huge!Quote:

Those are some hefty looking axles. How thick are they?
Will you be changing the rear diff axle bearings? I've heard they are difficult, on the disk brake model anyway.
