Quick question do you upgrade the wheel studs to cater for the wider rims?
And Why All the lights in different directions on the roof.
There was a mob called Ziggybuilt who made huge flares years ago,
they were fitted to tojo 80s running 44" tyres street legal in Aust
he drove it from Brisbane to Melb 4x4 show

Thats the answer. Its good to have these lights in the dark. specally when you are driving in stormy snow wheater codition. Last winter I used the side lights to drive home work one stormy night. I could see the road sides but did not see front of me so I had no idea how far on my way home I was. These lights are just briliant Also when you are letting the air out of the tires in the dark the lights are very usefull. To day me and a friend of mine went a small trip in the mountains play in the snow. The condition was very hard and we had drive as slow as we could to keep the patrols floating on the snow. But it was fun as usual

That GQ on 46's is awesome!
The tyres make the car look small. How much did he need to lift it to fit such large tyres?

[threedogs]

great picture makes the stock GQ small.
so conditions very tuff to drive ?
OE wheel studs or do you upgrade ?

[IceY60]

There is an upgrade on the 46" if I remember correct. But there is no need for an upgrade for 38" and 44" But many here in Iceland have uppgrade for the 44" They are made here in Iceland by a mechanical workshop.. Some say that they are copying them from the dana 60 front axles. I´m not shure how much the monster inc is lifted. But i´ll guess it´s around 5-6" next time I meet him I´ll ask him

Mate, I've fallen in love with the GQ all over again! Amazing vehicles! Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome. And merry xmas everyone. Santa did not bring 44" tires to me. So I´ll guess I have to buy them my self

Long time since I been here. I´m thinking about bigger engine now. Cummins is the dream engine. But I can´t find a truck to strip. I might have found an old 4,2 patrol for sale. But non turbo But the question is. Will it handle turbo with out braking down? And do I need to change the injectors also? The plan I have is to get an turbo, another injector pump and intercooler. The 4,2 patrol is 1989 model and I´ve been told that before 94 these engines have stronger head. It would be nice to get some advise on how to get a real power in those engines. I´m hoping to hear from the owner soon. I allready sold some parts from this truck If I buy it
