Won't have an issue if you're not there mate!
Looks great guys, nice one.
Healy have you figured out what's wrong with your car mate? Seriously 1 wheel working only? Very odd? The LSD in the back should be better than that for a start! The front could be a couple of things but a broken axle sounds like the likely problem.
Plasnart has a pair of spare CVs and axles for a GU sitting in his shed mate. Was it making much noise? Send me a pm mate happy to have a chat about it.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
Check out my Toy --> MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up
The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
It was not one wheel working.. the LSD was not working as drive was going to whatever wheel had the least resistance.....
Gave myself RSI from that bloody write up!!!!
Nice write up though......
Out if interest, did your steps take any hits on the rock steps? Would it be worth the risk to have a crack at that again without sill protection?
You know after yesterday Victoria has already suggested we might need to move to a larger vehicle (GU) because the Q is a bit squishy with all 5 on board...... Never would have expected the finance ministry to pre approve expenditure! LMAO. Dunno about the GQ to GU thing either....

As for the GQ being too small that hurts..... you have a bloody tidy car there.. dont you dare get a bloody yota or I would have to come round and cut your heart out with a spoon!!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing some of the pics and vids from Peter's (Healy's mate) crew....lots of filming going on there..........
Trying to work out how to get the pics and vids off my iPhone now.....

You aren't seriously considering a GU....mate I thought you were better than that!
No Toyota for me......I give my Toyota driving mates too much crap about their "Camry's" I'd never be able to face them.....
It is a bit disappointing potentially having to move the Q on (not just yet though) as it is a nice clean one....
I reckon I'm going to keep building it as I was with the goal of a Simpson crossing and a cape trip in mind just two up.....want to do both those trips two up first before taking everyone along at a later date......got some thinking to do.....in between driving of course!
