Just fitted some vz commo seats to the gq today. I was one of the unlucky ones and the holes didn't line up.
Soooo comfy now, one word...awesome!!!
Will post up some better pics and a little DIY tomorrow.

Look forward to the DIY - embarking on this myself as the bolster on my seat has finally had enough of my barge @rse sliding in and out and has torn completely off through the top.Originally Posted by AB

Cannot believe its been over 2 years since I updated this thread!!
So much has been done since then. Ill update this page soon.
A lot of love is happening to my gq in coming weeks as it started to get neglected and treated like a pig so stay tuned!
Just finished putting a large wrx front mount ic in, moved the condenser back to allow room and amazingly it fit snug behind the grille by just removing the fins and covered with new mesh, sprayed the grille black too.
Got very lucky (although it was planned) that the entry and exit points from the ic snugly fit just under the headlights where the plastic mould of the grille comes out further, otherwise I would of had 3" pipe coming outside the grille looking very ugly!
My tyres are almost done so I'm upgrading to 35" km2's.
Going to cut front and rear guards to accommodate the new tyres, get some better flares on as well. The Bunnings flares are just crap, I have ruined them and makes the car look rough!
Install new satphone dock that was under warranty.
Get ba's bar on, rebuild high mount and install.
Rear quarter chop may be done whilst cutting guards too, still deciding...
Looking at using large custom shs for rear bar to suit the gq box look, prefer that look then tubes.
Upgrade turbo and pump in the future as well but no idea on what I even want to be honest. As matty mentioned, ill check out some other members set ups for inspiration...lol
Lots happening though!!!
Stay tuned.

So what are you going to do for flares?
Why were the Bunnings ones shit?
Got 2 get my arse in gear and start doing some much needed work to mine......flares been one of the things that needs doing
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

It's just cheap mate, it's thin, looks average.
It's hard to keep it on a nice contour around the arch. It sags and looks crap eventually.
The plastic is stiff, hitting the flares when you are in deep ruts puts them out of shape permanently.
I'm on a budget with my gq due to life's joys of living but learnt that cheap ways around things is just crap in some applications.
Do it right first time and enjoy...ab's new motto...lol
