    "CRATE" the GQ

    Ok guys, I have had this for a while but have only just joined here so will post up a bit of a catch up!

    This is the little beast that got me started on four wheel driving (and patrols)




    Now for my current toy, partly because I wanted the extra space to do longer trips and partly because some flex would be nice once in a while..



    The specs..
    5L Injected V8
    3 link + panhard Front
    4 link + Panhard Rear
    6 Point Cage
    SAAS Racing Seats and 4 Point Harness's
    35's (The Claws from the MQ)
    Front and Rear Airlockers
    Warn High Mount, Radio's (AM and UHF), CD Player
    and all fully engineered for everything
    Also came with dirt, dents, rust, stuffed bushes and really stuffed shocks

    Some more Pics..



    Why it needs drop out cones..



    And for some reason steering stoppers too, (dw the gouge is no where near as deep as it looks)



    And my really squashed/rusted roof gutter



    So then the revamp started

    All new bushes underneath
    All new shocks
    Dropping down from 5" to 3"
    Steering Stoppers
    Rear Drop out cones
    New front bump stops
    New pads and rotors in the front
    Steering knuckle rebuild
    New front doors
    New sound deadener and vinyl throughout
    New flares
    The 35" MT Claws off the MQ (MTZ's on it are really only good for spares)
    Knocking out dents cutting, out rust and a general touch up

    The 1.75" Chromo hex bar links.. every link is made out of this stuff


    New Bump stops (Pedders 80 Series Landcruiser Rear's $100 for the pair)


    Diff out work in progress
    GQ highmount, lockers, barwork, 3-Link front, long arms, V8, cage, duct tape, cable ties and 35's
