MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

[NissanGQ4.2]

Actually looking to change the suspension ! Going to rip out the dobenson springs and suspension stuff shocks in favour of a the new Amada Extremes and Tough Dog coils I think!

U didn't like the Dobinson coils??? I only had mine in for a short time but couldn't fault them, but in saying that I haven't tried anything else other the coils that was in it when I bought it which looked to be the originals

Give me a PM when your ready as I'll have laser cut bit
Might be worth buying detonated Z30 at those prices, LOL

I am finding them too soft for my setup. the thing flexes really well but the rear springs are so soft i hit the bump stops with ease and the body roll just gets silly at times! It wants to lift the front left all the time because the rear just squats and rolls. I have blown a couple of rear shocks and want to rethink this setup.

Been talking to the guys at Superiors directly about my setup and they are leaning towards the Amadas paired with the TD springs into the GQ and they are rating this setup for hard core and Extreme use. Sounds like my kinda setup

Well just got home from a Big night in Wombat! Started with a BBQ in a local Campground then some of the best the Wombat has to offer.

Did a few winches, did not break a CV all in all had a great night with a great bunch of guys and girls.

Cheers Dung Beetle for being a great Navi yet again!

Gee getting home late there Runner, great spot Wombat, very lucky here in Vic

[Ben-e-boy]

the good thing is if you get the armadas you will be able the fit the biggest they offer...12 inch travel definatly need a bump stop extension for.that or you will keep blowing them you would only need 9 to 10 in the front. i have 11 and mine dosnt use the full down travel. to get the front working better the best thing is a rear sway bar. im looking into a currie industries anti rock sway bar for mine as the body roll is outta control. in some situations

Over last day or so have read through the whole thread. WHAT A BUILD lol. Great work and attention to detail by the looks of it.

Seems your GQ is quite a weapon. I just happen to live between Gisborne and Bacchus Marsh about 100mtrs from Wombat so when my rig is moving I would love to catch up and see yours in action. A few things have inspired me lol but see how money goes as always.
