Take & post Pictures please. Every time I tackle a "simple enough" job something horrible happens

Flat desert country.........

Last time I was out that way there were LOTS of sand dunes that people like to launch off!! Especially in a company car .........................

Between Camerons Corner and Merty Merty I stopped counting dunes after 150 or so.

My thoughts too, she may have "flown" a fair few of her Ks.

Hands up, who has gone and lifted their own bonnet to double check .....

[threedogs]

no as I know full truthful history.
Having said that I'll be looking for sure next time the bonnet is up
But dying to look lol

I had a look. lol Since my bonnet was up anyway when I saw the thread AND mine is a 2009 as well. No cracks on mine.

I have seen a GU with a passenger side crack, where the battery tray mounts up though. Not as bad as OP's.

On another note, are his troubles fixable? As in can it be simply welded up and painted considering it is a major structure fail?

[threedogs]

I would think its fixable i would probable weld some kind of
gusset plate over that area after first welding and prepping those cracks
@ Growler you gave Agatha some air at Loveday did your GQ have any cracks like the OP?

Gday guys, I didn't take any photos. I didn't have to take the guard off all the way, just enough to see how far the crack went. It only goes for an inch under the guard. It can't go any further. All it needs is a good welder and then I'll put a patch over it, paint her up and she'll be good!

Cheers for all the replays
