MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

[Ben-e-boy]

have you put an angle gauge on the pinion and tc output? It seems odd to me that you are making pinion adjustments for clearence issues,

Nah it should be fine and makes sense to me. If I shorten the uppers slightly it will roll the diff forward and straighten the spring that have a very slight bend to the rear. It will drop the pinion and put a little angle into the pinion which looks pretty straight now. Should be fine mate.

How's the clearance at the front of the guards, looks pretty tight or you doing sum choppn? . . . Those treps are HUGE !!

Yeah gotta do a fair chop of the guards, I needed to get them on for a look, to do the chop I have to remove the flares and I put them on properly so that's actually going to be a fair bloody task to take them off!!

Excited though, going to be pretty full on when it rolls next!!

So going up another gear ratio or going a transfers gear change??

Hi Kallen,

nah mate i have 4.6s in the diffs already and simply dont have the coin to go transfer gears and they are pretty pointless in Vic anyway. the TD42Ti will turn the 37s just fine

[BigRAWesty]

Fair enough.
I guess 4.6 and 37's would be similar to 4.1 and 33's??

Well found a couple of hours to work on the GQ today. I don't have a shed that it fits in so its a pain in the ass to get stuff done!. Grrrrrrr!

Finally dragged out the Treps for a look.

Took the opportunity to replace the rear brake pads too.

I fitted the wheels up for a look but will need to take them off to sort out the guard chop. It turns out the rims are a big offset coupled with the wider GU Diffs and I have to strip off the flares and find some really really fn big flares!!!

Holy shit!!!!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk cause AB turned it back on!!

I saw it today in person and the bonnet stands at my chest height. It is f......ing huge.
Would look better in 40"s. IMO.
