    Hi from Cairns

    Hi all my name is Kristian and I'm a converted Cruiser man and now loving our GQ LWB Patrol.
    It runs a TB42 and is pretty shocking on fuel lol It runs on LPG as well ... I'm converting to 350 Oldsmobile with a single turbo. I know there's not alot of good points with the 350 diesel but I'll toughin it up.
    I fitted 6" Dobinson coils and shocks and Snake racing radiuss arms , extended brake lines and adjustable panards front n rear. I had to get my left top trailing arm on the rear diff modified to suit the long range tank too. I have detachable sway bar links and I do keep them connected for everyday driving. I've fitted an alloy 75series Cruiser bullbar with a 10,000lb winch and wireless remote. I use Narva spotties which are ok but thinking of getting HID 35w for them.
    Tyres are 33" Federals on 8" Sunny's and they do the job for now but I'd like some 35 or 37" Trepadors


    I'll post some pics of it out n about .... I'm glad to be a part of the group and hope to see you guys on the tracks
