Buying A 2011 GU with 120,000km - what to look out for

Yeh, as Rod said, it was fate! :cheers:

Will get some pics happening soon and start my own build thread.

Immediate plans are to redo some of the cool mods Rod had in it and tweak some of them to suit my needs. Just need to wait for all this damn rain to clear away from Newcastle!!

In no specific order, here's a wishlist that somehow grows at a faster rate than my pay cheque allows, lol.

OME 2" Lift
2.75" exhaust (undecided between Beaudesert and Redback)
Steinbauer chip
Mudski's EGT block and Dawes kit
EGT and Pyro Gauges
USB mounts
Ipad, phone and GPS mounts
Sunglass panel rocker switches
Lighting solution (LED light bar and some spotties)
Roof rack (thinking Tradesman oval alloy full length)
Rear single tyre carrier bar
Stereo/ GPS/ reversing camera
Cargo barrier
etc

Just the usual stuff. LMAO!

Am thoroughly enjoying researching this stuff and dreaming up the perfect patrol. Just need to make sure I dont procrastinate on selling my current Jeep so i can afford this stuff!

If making an off road style tourer, could I suggest you look at 3" flexi coils.
Sits like 2" and flexes like 3".
Also not sure if it has a snorkle or not good peace of mind for river crossings.
Window tint is often over looked.
3 Rhino racks and an awning is very usefull at camp or just a 1hr stop
somewhere for a cool drink or a cuppa.
Pillar pod keeps the top of your dash clear and depending can house up to 3 gauges.
Looking forward to your pics

Cheers 3 dogs... thats pretty much where i'd like to aim - off road touring/ camping/ 4wd'ing. Never considered (or heard of) 3" flexi coils. What are they? Can you post a link with something specific please mate? Im not keen to spend excessive amounts on lifting and generally want to follow the advice that things get expensive above 2" and 2" is plenty to get me most places in Oz. But if there's a justifiable reason/gain for a 3" flexi, id love to hear it :)

Already have snorkel and tint and had the pillar pod in mind too (just forgot to add it to the list, lol). And an awning!

Cheers mate

2" lift with the STD LSD will see you go most places,
add in a front locker and you have the complete package LOL
Dont forget breathers for diffs, auto and transfer case

It has a rear diff breather Skiman, it exits view a mini fuel filter after looping up and over the windscreen washer motor thus creating an air lock if you do sink it. The other breathers are in the standard place in the left hand front inner guard.

Yeh, I recall you showing me those mate. Cheers.
