That's one hell of a beast you go there, fantastic stuff, had me glued from begininning to end, now the missus has the hump with me hahahahaha ...... oh well
Good on ya Clunk, its a good thing mate.
Trust me though,the missus near on had a Hump with me it took soooo long. If it wasn't for the fact that it was Her Nephew that let me down in the first place it might have ended in Divorce.
Well got a new Gerni for Christmas and water Restrictions have been eased in Geelong from 5 years of stage 3A we are able to wash our cars at home again.
It used to cost me $30 to $40 every tome i went to the car wash and i would be running the hole time.
Spent 3 hours with the Gerni and sponge and brush giving it a well earned clean.
Went to the Super Cheap 20%off sale on Sunday and bought a "Right Angle" attachment fo the end of the gerni to wash underneath :bowdown:
Looks Great again. Its sooo clean. Thinking of getting under it tomorrow with a black spray pak and giving the diffs and gear box a protective coat........?
:thumbup:
All around to MR's place for car wash then. I hear just a six pack of coke is the price.
Top stuff MR I cant wait to see the lift on this GU of yours.
Yeah hey Paul,
I have a heap of pic of the GU IV on the camera and have not put them on the computer yet. i took a heap of them during the suspension fit up and will put together that GU IV members thread ASAP.
It will be worth the wait mate. IMHO My GU IV TD42Ti is near on set perfect as a tourer. Just a Gem mate!
Here is a couple of teaser shots for ya mate

Yeah mate - I hear ya!! Front end flex is the desire for me also - patrols have heaps of rear end flex anyway and suspension upgrades only further highlight that - but getting it the front without compromising ride quality and safety is just a HUGE bonus ... Yours looks a treat ...Quote:

I love reading this thread MR....... Its always a top read.
Well swapping the Simexes for the 35" Cooper St's and heading up into the High Country North of Mt Bulla this weekend for a boys swag trip. Taking my 5 year old son Zach and we will have a great time.
Zach already gets excited by "Just the guys, No Girls" trip... Hell Yeah!!! I got a double swag for a subscription to 4wd monthly and he reckons its great.
Might pack the RC Rock Crawlers that Santa gave us and have a good weekend.
I will try and get some good pics for ya.
Looking forward to it mate.
Tyres are Swapped over. Boy it looks weird with the Coopers on, its been sitting on Simexes in the back yard for nearly a year.
Cant wait to get out, haven't been into the steep stuff for too long.
The young fella has his first day at school tomorrow ever! Preppy here comes Zach!. Big day for my Big boy then the boys trip.
Oh yeah!!
Great Thread MR
Can't wait for the next episode
Paul
Well, I'm at Bluff Hut. Pouring with rain. Rivers are up. Water over bonnet today. Done some great tracks. Got wet in swag last night. Will get wetter tonight. Tarp is up and swag is under. Fire In hut is hot. Beer is cold. 10 vehicles staying tonight. Ya just got to love this sh it.
Just bought tapatalk. Works a treat.
Back to the beer.
Shoulda left the simex on.
Haha well sounds like your having a top night there MR, cant wait to see the pics upon your return. After the rain up that way i think simex's would have been a better choice lol...
Sounds like the trip is going as good as it can considering the rain mate.. Have a good one, take plenty of happy snaps, and make sure ya have a beer for me as well :cheers:
Good work MR, great weekend for it!
Take some happy snaps if you get the chance too mate...lol
Some photos of the huts would be good too!
Bloody hell mate you sound like your in Patrol heaven cant wait to see the pics.
Hey MR,
Just finished reading this thread. Wow we are ok in sand but mud really scares me, especially alone. I think you guys are heros taking on all that mud.
Regards your strip and repair and other work, Huge amount of work well done, good to see you stuck at it, and documented it, and put it up for us to read.
Maybe you should really be called SMR SuperMudRunner
I jus dunno where you find all the time!!! lol
Thanks again, an absolutely great read.
Paul

Went out to Wombat today with a couple of mates to go climb a very big kick arse hill we found a while ago in the rain.
1st car up was a Hilux F&R lockers and big tyres.....He Winched 4 or 5 times up the hill.
2nd car up was an 80 TD on 37s got to the first step up and got stuck, blew his Himount trying to get over the step up and we had to let him down the hill by hand on a 20m winch strap wrapped around a tree a couple of times (works a treat) ( 1 man can hold a 3t car on a hill with 2 wraps around a tree)
3rd car up was a GU IV, Very very worked car and ALL the bells. He blew a stub axle on the 1st step up and we had to let him down by hand as well.
4th car was a very Tuff GQ on 36 peeds. Kicked its arse!! in low 1st
I shot this Vid.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_JQDjOGQgQ
5th car up was Me in my GQ. KICKED IT'S ARSE in 2nd Low..
HELL YEAH >>>>>>>CHECK THIS OUT!
Here i am....pumped!

:icon_victory:
Had a BLOODY GREAT DAY!!!
that's a sick video, looks like you use your patrol to its full potential haha
Blody hell MR that was freakin awesome. Go the trols!!
Bloody well done there Darren, made it look easy mate, love the size of those rocks you had coming down the hill I would have been hiding behind a tree instead of filming.
Big congrats to the camera person for filming you.
fantastic vid MR, looks bloomin incredible
Cheers for the comments guys, was wicked. My GQ is set up pretty soft and i was going a bit quicker in 2nd low hence the wheels coming off the ground a bit more that the other GQ. I did not realise he did it in 1st till after when we were talking.
Here is a vid of the Hilux after he finished the winch section doing the top half of that hill. The guy taking this vid is standing where the guys were that talked about the tree i nearly hit in my vid...so a fair way up the hill.

Here is a very Tuff GU IV when it broke its axle and then us letting it back down on a strap. You can just see me in the dark top standing below the guy int he grey T'shirt that puts his hands up when the axle goes, i was right in front of him. I am the guy on the strap talking on the radio too. this gives a good indication of the angle of the hill too. This is the spot where i lift the front left off the ground first in my vid.
Listen for the axle break!!!! OUCH!!
