Have you tried Southside 4x4?
It looks like they might have a white one in stock.

Thanks very much for the offer Wild, but i think postage on large panels would most likley kill any chance of getting stuff affordable from down south.
And Wreckers !, i know they have to make money, but the thieves want to charge near 80-90% of new prices, no wonder insurance wrote my car off, as ive been finding out, some of the wreckers that have web sites with pictures dont seem to update them, so half the cars they show on-line, dont even exsist, so this means i have to ring around.
Im going to strip the inside of the car out tomorrow, and will most likley end up just ordering a "brand new" roof skin from Nissan, not cheap ,but only $50 more than wreckers want for a roof !
Another LHF gaurd is what i really need, (ill pay more for white) i need this fitted so i can see if my door repair is good or not.

Thanks for careing guys, but I'm not that stupid, the first strap was trying to tow a mate out ov a bog off proper rated recovery hooks and the strap snapped instantly( brand new strap), the log on the other hand was choked in the strap and the strap was a bit worn and using a rated rec hook again and the strap snapped about hold way along!! Don't be fooled by drag chains, they are generally not rated and can also snap as I have seen before, my best option is to get a black snake and not use the common snatch strap!!
Or line up a smaller log, if you have a choice :-)
Do you reckon a chain around the tree would cope better with abrasion etc than a strap? I guess then it would need to be chain all the way to the vehicle.
Rated chains normally have a mark every few links - I agree that not all are rated. I bought one, gold anodised, from a produce store, that had specs listed on the bulk bucket, but the chain itself is plain. The ones I bought from Serafini Chains up here are marked.
RIP - valued member and true gentleman of this forum that will be missed by many!

Stock Low K, GU Springs or slightly raised springs.
Hey Guys,
I just bought a GQ and it's springs are badly sagged.
At the moment all it will be doing is some light 4x4ing and touring so the slight raise some standard (non sagged) springs give should be all i need for now.
Will also look at slightly raised aftermarket springs. (2" max)
They will need to be out of a low k GU, that hasn't done any heavy towing/touring.
I'm in Perth and can come and pick them up at a time that suits you.
Thanks for your time.
