i also fund color that i want to put on my GQ:

of course Raptor bed liner

Mate I would love to see a GQ painted like that, it would look awesome! Keep up the good work!

 

[Animal89]

i try that color on valve cover. It was very quick job and i doesnt have colors that i want so one gray was too light and second gray was too dark but it looks good

 

[Animal89]

yeah i saw this too. Maybe, maybe but later. First i must weld my roof rack i done some measurements and weld some pipes:

and today another few pipes welded together:

at saturday we have end of off road season and little trip so i must get it done just welding and painting.. there is not much time left to do whole electric for lights..
I must weld whole back of roof rack, hi jack mount, shovel mount and fuel can mount.... 4 days... and nights aaaaandddd little ladder on back doors hehehe

 

[Animal89]

ok another few hours of my free time spended with my beast
Roof rack placed on car so i can measure how whole back will going to be:


and after a little while back end welded

tomorrow i will finish whole welding and maybe grinding and i must check where put lights and fuel can mount.

 

[Animal89]

ok few things done. Unfortunately rack isnt on the roof yet.. but soon will be... i hope. Off road season has ended with little trip with friends:





of course with my little girl on my little beast

After this i weld all mounts to the roof and try whole part in little terrain to check if everything is OK.


lights are just for now, I was wondering how its gonna look like
Tomorrow im off duty so i have a day off to finish mouts and grind whole rack and maybe put some primer ;D i've also weld a ladder that will be on back doors

and best part. I've found guy that was a first owner of my beast and he sent me a picture how my gq was looking when he bought it ;D

poor little car

 

[geeyoutoo]

Like the ladder, how did you mount it? I have one on the back of my GU, very handy at times.

 

[Animal89]

Yeah very handy, especially when U want to get to roof rack i think that on saturday i will have it mounted so i will show U
I also changed my plans about color that i want on car. I think that color that i wanted (i posted pic of mercedes in grey/black/green camo few posts up) won't be nice on old classic GQ. But military desert camo will fit perfectly accessories like bumpers, roof rack etc. in black what do U guys think?

i know that saturday was few days ago but i doesnt have time Today with my head lamp i was working with my ladder ;D tomorrow i have duty and i must have ladder on car ok here is ladder primered,

U can see on top and bottom of it two pieces of metal with holes. I drilled holes on back doors and mount whole ladder on screws.
on top i used screws with flat head so doors can be closed


bottom looks same but screws are inside doors.
I must cut top screws cause they are too long and inside doors there is also a piece of metal with two holes to support whole ladder ;D
I was jumping on it and looks fine

 

[Animal89]

Few pics as it looks like in daylight

 

[Animal89]

buuuuu days are shorter now, very soon is dark so my reverse lights must be improved... fastest way was to put two led lights on roof rack cable, fuse, relay and switch and now i see something



i think i will put third center light..

 

[Animal89]

first snow first frost first ride on MT's and its better than i expected


unfortunately not everywhere was snow
