Thirsty's 4.5L GU

Nice rig, looks tough, especially covered in mud!

Love the look on the little fella's face in the back seat on the 3rd action pic you posted. Looks like he is enjoying the ride! LOL

How do you find the ARB alloy roof rack in regards to wind noise, fuel consumption, quality of build, etc. Any info appreciated.

Also after info on the ARB awning. Are you happy with it and would you recommend this particular awning? Are they as easy to set up as the advertising material would lead you to believe?

Much appreciate your reply

Hi Damo, Thanks for the comments mate. My Son loves to go bush. As for the roof rack, this one suits my every need. you only hear the wind when the sunroof is open and i honestly didnt notice any increase in fuel consumption. but it is a petrol so its thirsty anyway. The awning is quick to set up, i can have it set up before my wife has all the kids out of the car. The main things to look for with an awning is that it has 3 velcrow canvas securing straps down each side to prevent sag,watch some of the cheaper ones as the plastic connections are not designed to flex so they break easy. I could be called bias too, Although the product is great quality and it suits my needs. Obviously i highly recommend them. Cheers and good luck with your decision.

A bit of an update,

I ordered a Front ARB Airlocker yesterday, I proberly won't put it in for a while as I'm going to do the swivel hub seals and king pins at the same time. I already have a rear locker so before i install the front I'm going to put a 9500 pound Bushranger winch into the Bullbar (Bushranger have a deal that you get a free set of HID spotties with every winch Bought) and there a good quality winch with solid state electrics.
Other items to be done prior to the October Meet are - Snorkel, Rocksliders, Exhaust, UHF and Rear Awning. (most of all repair the broken aircon Pipe)

Cheers

Good stuff mate, sounds great. Thanks for the replies.

Cleaned The MAF, O2 Sensor, Dizzy and rotor button today, Not much of a difference. Once I run a tank of juice through it, that might tell the story then. I also decided to run a bit of Lucas injector cleaner through it. Just to see if that helps with economy.

Cheers

Received my new Lightforce 50w HID Genisis spotties today. I'll post some picks when I mount the on the Bullbar.
