MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

[lucus30]

I wish. Nah not a chance unfortunately. I still have a fair bit to do and keen to drive this winter. Given the state of affairs with defects and Police these days it will most likely be a Night Drive car. Lucky I LOVE NIGHT DRIVES!!!

I guess I'll just have to settle with photos then. One day I'll see it

Well been doing a bit of bar work, my nephew has been down to give me a hand as it's basically impossible to do alone. Coming together slowly.







Pretty stoked with that!!











I had to trim the door to clear the bar work. Ill sort that later.







Pretty stoked with the way the rear bar is looking too.



Just tacking everything up and will strip it all off to finish weld and paint.

Yes it is mate. I have Kaned it to mate! Great bit of kit. Rate it highly! It has been my primary recovery point for 13 years.

I will pack out a new hook the same way inside this tube. I like the hook as you can hook up in a hurry if needed.

[threedogs]

Yeah that was the idea behind it, if your sinking you can hook up and hopefully be on your way again.
Id think Ive made 5000 of them over the years, even have a bolt on one on the back of my Patrol.
Like the pipe work BTW

Yeah when I drowned my GQ In 2003 the water was over the roof on the drivers side and upto the glass on the passengers side. I was using a pin only in the rear towbar and unfortunately my mate couldn't find the pin to insert the snatch strap in chest high water. By the time he hooked me up I was a writeoff. Had I had a hook the water inside would have been maybe to my knees.

I bought your hook the following week.

Not bad for a pen pusher... 😂
JK.. it's looking awesome mate..
One little bit I would add, and you maybe onto it or going vertical to your rack, but to give that rear 1/4 bar a little more strength add a bit of tube or plate to join the rear 1/4 to slider on the outside egde.. Sorta like a continuation peice. .
That'll make a triangle and give a bit more strength against it..

@ MR Ive still got some spacers and that trimmed washer if you want to make it look a bit neater.
Just PM your address if you require them

That would be awesome mate. I need 27mm of packer all up as it's obviously bigger than the one you made. I was going to cut up son plate I have here. Can you bring it to ABs next weekend mate?

Also 3Ds, you know that the @ is working again for notification but you can't leave a space like you have there. @threedogs is a winner though.
