Hi all
My name is corey im 17 and this is my gq patrol, i got it for a steal of $1960, reason for so cheap is because it needs a new head and rear main seal, plans are a 4"lift and 33" muddies, lockers, turbo on the tb42 when im on my opens, it's a auto which im not sure if i like yet because im still waiting to drive it .

only got a couple of pics but ill put a couple of dad's home made rear bar for his GU 5 aswell.

Plans for the GQ sound sweet mate! Good base for a tuff beast.

Your old mans bar looks prime!

Duck over to the polls section and put your name down onto the P-plate club list

Hi all,

been a long time since i updated, a few things happened since last, new gearbox and a 3" lift. love the new lift it's a suspension stuff lift, 3" flexy coils, 5" lifted shocks in the front and 6" lifted shocks in the back, got the 2" tower spacers in the front so the shocks will fit, brake lines, caster bushes (superflex arms when funds allow) yer havent been offroad yet trying to get a few mech issues sorted.

here is how she sat stock

a little differance in the shock langth

a pic to show the differance between the front and back

and a couple of how she sits now

many more mods to come.
Corey.

Also keen to hear how suspension is after a bit of searching and price comparisons i have decided on a Suspension Stuff 3" flexy coil kit and will be ordering in next couple weeks.

 

[red_P_GQ]

sorry guys,
i havn't had a chance to go offroad yet, but i can tell ya a little about the lift, if you get the 5" lifted front shock you most likely have to cut the shock panal out to get the spacers to fit. on road it handles great, bit of body roll but nothing uncomfortable.
great kit i just got to do the break lines and ill be hitting the tracks, i would recommend the lift to anyone.

if thats any help!!! ill keep you all informed on how it performs on the weekend

[red_P_GQ]

here are a couple of pics of how it sits..

yerr the good thing is that it isnt that big and there are plenty of bigger trucks getting around on the gold coast. plus they got plenty more things to worry about.

Did you extend your bumpstops? Rears look like oem ones, wouldnt wanna stuff those shocks.


Rick

 

[red_P_GQ]

yerr they are the stock ones gonna get 80series 1's for it soon

 

[rogue5861]

No worries. I just modded oem bracket on the rear, grind an drilled them to fit a 80s bumpstop. Fronts i have 80s bumpstop an spacer block (body lift block).


Rick

 

[red_P_GQ]

ohhk so there a pretty straight forward swap

 

[rogue5861]

Cut off oem bumpstop. Grind out a gap big enough for nyloc nut an washer, drill a hole. That easy, took me longer to get the bastards off the car an back on.
