nice pickup mate! where in CQ are you located i will be up that way in a month or two..
2jz929's GU Wagon

2jz929's 4.2 GU Wagon
Had it for a couple of months now. I didn't have the money to build what i wanted myself, so i bought an already done GU. Just got a few little things on my list to make it my own.
I wanted the TD4.2 as its going to be a long term car, so the extra layout will mean a lot less in 10 years time. Primary reason for the car is for some holiday fun and touring. I live in CQ but travel every few months on holidays.
Its got the following:
- 220 000km on the clock
- ARB front bar
- 9500lb Premier winch with Warn solenoid block
- Kaymar rear bar with twin tyre carrier
- ARB high output compressor
- ARB front and rear air lockers
- 20L water bladder in rear quarter
- Outback rear draw system
- 146L long range tank
- 30mm spacers + 3" suspension lift (sagged to 1 inch over standard)
- Koni 88's
- Polybags in the rear
- Outback roof console
- Cargo barrier
- GME UHF
- Motson 40% power upgrade package (larger rear housing, 3" exhaust, tune)
- 33" Cooper ATR's come with it (these things suck)
My plans for it are:
- water/air intercooler using ebay core, bilge pump, and condenser
- 4" flexy lift kit
- BFG muddies
Some piccies (winch is tied to the front in some of them, as it didn't work when i needed it, turned out to just be a bad earth)

Started a front mount intercooler install on this thing last week. So far only got the cooler mounted, and made most of the pipes. All the silicon joiners are in the mail. Its just 280x300mm core with 2" mandrel piping made out of exhaust tube so i could weld it. Costs are roughly:
- $140 delivered for cooler
- $150 for silicon joiners
- $80 for 8 mandrel bends
$370 is more than i planned, but im sure it will be a valuable upgrade and worthwhile once the boost is upped in fuel is increased.
Put the boost controller on this arvo and put it up from 7psi to 10psi. I know this wont do much without fuel adjust, but i figure it will do no harm either.
Anyway, will take more detailed pics of how I ran the pipes once its done. Bit of mucking around, but no cutting of the car.

Unfortunately dont have an EGT gauge on it, and wont have time to fit one 'til after I've finished the cooler. Guess its easy enough to put the factor crossover pipe in later on though, just to check how much they actually increase without it.
Got a few mate. By the sounds of your sig we got the same idea in building sleepers. Still not finished, got a bit over it, so just doing some little things to the patrol for a break.

Also had the two back windows and rear door windows tinted 5% (limo tint) to help keep the car and fridge cool. Hardly notice it from the inside, still easy to see out of, just a lot less glare.

Put two 'Quick Fists' on the rear racks to hold the long handled shovel too. Will make it a heap easily digging out a loo now!
