Fitted up the GU steering box today and fixed the front locker and front breather before the rain arrived.

I'm keen for this...
Same here for sure
Well its bloody cold out side! Just refitted the Rebuild Himount and it works and is ready for Rope! New 6hp motor, Full brake shaft rebuild kit, lower housing rebuild kit, sand blast and a paint. Looks neat.
To save me unbolting the front bar to fit it in i have to fit it in 2 pieces. Top hat off. bolt up the bottom half then fit the top hat and motor. Of course it starts raining between bolting the bottom up and fitting the top hat. Head Torch on, out with the Umbrella and she'll be right mate. Damn i need a Shed the GQ will fit in!! Killing me!
Gathered all my camping gear and recovery gear and insulated the swag ready for the Snow trip this weekend. Still got allot to do but 1 day at a time. Time for a shower and Bed.

Nah the original one with the tapped end. It survived the trip well given what it had to do. It was stripped out 3 times and fitted to Gary's car to get him out too!
I replaced the end bearing on it though, the one in the lower housing casing. That was a Bitch to get out!

I have two mates running hid retro fitted into GU 1 and they both have had a pretty bad run. I'm unsure of the brands they've used. One guy had a cheap brand and had to rreplace the ballast twice so then forked out more for an expensive brand and that developed an intermittent fault after a while.
Have you had any problems with hid's? And do you think that brand you got above will prove itself?
Id like to get some hids but I'm worried they would fail when I'm from home!
