MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

[AB]

What a crack up, make sure she doesn't get on the netbanking either mate.

Honestly though, I think the majority of my stuff ups in gear selection or not choosing the right path and having prangs, etc have all been first thing in the morning 30 minutes after leaving the campsite.

Must just be the morning groggy brain and not concentrating...lol

Very nice work there mate, got more patience and knowledge than me..........makes great reading for sure.
Sorry to hear about the mishap with the tree hope it can be fixed at not too much cost.
Looking forward to the GU Build Thread.

Hi Jorn, welcome to the forum mate, as Dogman said, say G'day and lots of people here will be able to help you with Suspension tips. For my 2cents though you need to figure out what your going to be carrying in terms of accessories and passengers on a regular basis then there are a few vendors about that will design a system that will suit your needs.

I am a big fan of Old Man Emu OME made in Australia. some of the best mid priced stuff on the market world wide today. Truly World class mate.

There is so much to say about the correct set up for you. How much weight? How high to go? Body lift or No bodylift?

The set up i have on this rig now is the culmination of many years driving it in the areas that i drive and i think it is really well sorted for my needs now. This set up would not suit Desert driving though and long touring would be terrible.

There is a fair bit of conversation in the Suspensions section of the forum, have a look around. If you want any other info Jorn give me a PM and i will happily give you any advice i have to give.

Cheers for reading my build.

I have read this build a few times now, would love to go out with this thing.. Looks like a absolute weapon

And did i hear the mention of a GU Build??

[MudRunnerTD]

Hey Big Fletch,

Yeah i have started the GU IV build and have some photos but just not got around to posting the thing up here yet. I will though, i really like how it has come up as a great tourer.

I took this thing out on the weekend and had a great day in the Otways on Saturday. The thing just gets it done. Love it. Took my Dad out with me for the first time in a long time and first time since the build, he cant believe that he was in a rig that is coming onto 20 years old....Nearly a Classic!

So smooth with Lotssss of Grunt. hehehe!

I need to sort out some flex shots for the front. It is so sure footed for something with affectively 9" of lift over standard. Parked it next to a GQ with no body lift and 2" of springs with 31's on the weekend OMG! Funny as!
