Jakeeysed. yeah getting lost wasnt to bad saw all new areas, but we spent the whole night in 2wd high just about didn't come across anything decent. Turned out it was a waste of time to of aired down the tires lol.

Kaddis. Nice gq, keen to hear how it goes with the turbo rb30. Been thinking about doing it to mine. If my motor blows it's the only replacement I will consider. And that rolled gq is why I'm trying to get money aside for a full cage

Hahaha Kaddis that rolled GQ is my mates, was it Pheasants Track at Walhalla. They ended up driving it home.

by **Kaddis** » April 15th, 2012, 10:36 pm

Yeh was in Walhalla, we helped him get it back on its wheels. His old man nearly copped a car crushing him trying to pull it over while it was getting winched. Just passed that a Luxy rolled on the next hill past the river.

Feel for him tho, he got up the hill and his mate couldn't so he tried rolling down a hill backwards and rolled it...his mate forgot to lock in...

Some mad looking 4x4s here!
Dan your Mav was pretty sweet, why did you wreck it out in the end?

Here's mine.. trying not to get too carried away with it!

by **OMY-747** » April 16th, 2012, 12:12 am

my uncle's lux, this is what got me into 4x4's. he wanted to try and lift a wheel here, but it's still got heaps of travel left. :cool:

Yeh i was supposed to be going but i had to work, my brother was in the car though. LOL his old man wouldve been already shitfaced at this stage, yeh i heard about the hilux aswell. Yeh he was shattered as he had just bought it and spend some cash on it. He ended up selling it for $2000 without the tyres. The other bloke you talk about is my mate aswell his GQ is a weapon now

It was fairly fucked out. All body mounts were stuffed. The engine had no comp left.

None of my mates would drive up what I wanted to because they bought GU's and didn't want to damage them. Easy tracks are boring so I got rid of it and bought a ute.

Pheasants is a lot harder now than it used to be. I was in struggle town getting up there on my dirt bike a few months ago.

derrr haha how didnt i see the shackle at the front. nice lux though tuff as.

by **OMY-747** » April 16th, 2012, 10:50 am

Yeah it's got the works. Front and rear arb air lockers. Motor driven air compressor. The tube around the tray is his air tank. Warn winch. 35's. The longest rancho shocks you can buy and uses every bit of their travel. Twin transfer cases. On board water system with a pump so he can spray his windows clean. The water and air both have connections on each side of the car. He made all the tray bullbar sliders. Everything himself. It's even got a top mount 450x350x76mm cooler. Made all the cooler piping himself to. Turbo diesel.

Bit of a "show us your GQ" thread... so, this is my 92 GQ 4.2 Diesel.

by **OMY-747** » April 18th, 2012, 10:49 am

Yeah it's 4 and a half hours on road from here. And I think they are going through bush more making it about 6 hours. And saying a single day trip lol. Told him it'd wanna be good for me to come that far haha

Fark me ...looks like a Rock crawler.

by **OMY-747** » July 4th, 2012, 11:30 am

Yeah, uses every single bit of the longest rancho 9000's that he could buy. Gotta love leaves for that, don't need a stupidly high lift to get a shit load of travel, just a good setup.

by **Xpfalcon170** » July 4th, 2012, 6:35 pm

some older pics of my 4runner. Still got it. Currently repairing some rust and shit. Needs more powah, more rubber, and more lift

Some good 4x4 spots near Moondarra dam! Use to be good BMX riding in the background of that second photo when the water is low.

Yeah it's not a bad spot. Getting a Millweld commercial bar with tax.

by **apoc** » August 4th, 2012, 8:04 pm

So I bought this today:

Got it for cheap cheap cos its got a blown head/headgasket. Got it home and head off in 2 hours lol.
These wheels should have been burned a long time ago, but I've got some 33s from the range rover to go on, once I find some rims.

Looking forward to some good 4x4 times!
And LOL at the plates. haha

- 9000lb Tigerz11 Winch

- LED rear tail lights
- Millweld Comp bar, brush bars and rock sliders
- 34in Simex JT's & 33in Goodyear Wranglers (for the road)
- Removable Nylon canopy/steel frame

Ended up wrecking it out then bought another GQ, an RB30 Wagon "Rex Hunt Special Edition"...

Pretty much stock except 33's, Dual battery setup from the ute and spotties. Currently fitting a VL turbo setup to it and a 3in exhaust, will eventually get a few inch's lift in it.

And a few of the boys out for a weekend up Big River.

Poor young bloke we came across one afternoon.

Bit of an update on the GQ. It's now got a 3 inch lift, dual optima's fitted, 9000lb winch, and the new engine arrived the other day which should hopefully go in soon!

by **OMY-747** » October 7th, 2012, 6:51 pm

Put the 26 head on the 30 bottom end :good:

by **Kaddis** » October 7th, 2012, 7:02 pm

Nah I'm using the whole engine, I'd rather keep it all together plus the 26 bottom end has the oil squirters.

by **OMY-747** » October 7th, 2012, 7:18 pm

Aw, no fun

or you could go rb30 a8 bottom end to get the oil squirters and fit a spool 3.4 stroked

On a more serious note, how's the rb30 compared to a td42 turbo?

by **Kaddis** » October 9th, 2012, 5:22 pm

IIRC no RB30's came out with oil squirters.

RB30 loves revs and goes pretty good in the bush but once you start climbing hills the TD42 shits over it. At least this RB30 is injected, carby RB30's are fairly shit.

by **OMY-747** » October 9th, 2012, 10:20 pm

For some reason I thought the factory turbo motors did? Been a while since I've looked at anything rb related though.

I've got the rd28 and have considered both rb30et or td42t for when the rd28t dies.

by **bushman** » October 9th, 2012, 10:29 pm

tried to crawl a bit further up the rock but started to slide off the side of it.

2in lift on 33s
