Micks FAT red GQ snail (now a single cab style side tray back)

[tailpipez]

Cheers for the comment and I appreciate you being honest the black itself as the quality of the paint was shit house it came out all dry and cloudy so sid quickly put clear over it and it came out so much better very lucky to save it.

Sid said the same thing about the snorkel I will do that when I get a chance.

Its got 5'' coils in the front and 2" in the rear until I put the 4" in the rear, New coils and shocks to go in.

The tyres are 34'' Interco Trexxis and now 17'' sunnys with kummo 35" to try to hide some of the side wall.

New tyres

Going a stadium style are you with the lower rear springs? Or is that just due to no weight?

You can catch up on all the sleep you have missed when your dead mate its time to get your truck up top speed.

I am putting in the new radiator today. 

[tailpipez]

Made a start on the carpet not finished off yet but close too

 

 

[tailpipez]

Got the glass in this morning

Then replaced rear output seal on the transfer case. 

Job well done for today

 

[tailpipez]

Back from the Cape now and the truck was fantastic no drama's and good mileage on fuel 1000 km to 139 L with 338 thousand on the clock now she run's like new. Next on the list will be new locking hub's, new slave cylinder, gear selector ( having trouble getting into 5th ), 83% reduction gears, bead lock's for the 38's and a turbo.

Here are some picture's from the Cape York trip.

The trip was so good I didn't want to come home, The next trip already in planning for June next year a bit closer to the wet so its not so dry and dusty.

 

The trip was long enough three weeks in total.

[tailpipez]

Just had a amazing weekend testing out the 38's down at Dalbeg Gorge.

[BigGQWesty]

Haha. Classic. Would have just left the trailer home.. That's why you have a Ute. Looks good but. Did you scrub? Looks close.

They just touch on the rear of the guard because I don't have any bump stops at the moment easy fix though ( didn't have time to fit them before I left )

[BigGQWesty]

Nice. What ratios Have you changed to?

Kallen Westbrook

[tailpipez]

4.6 but with 38's need more down low I like to crawl might go a turbo for talk then some 85% reduction gears.

[BigGQWesty]

Nice. Yea I'm toying the idea of going 4.3's and 33's full time, which means 35 play tyres..

I don't think the old 2+1 lift will be enough for 35's though..

2'' suspension and guard chop = 35s or 2'' suspension and 2'' body will do it.

I like the idea of diff gears to take the strain off the drive line.

What motor you got ?

[BigGQWesty]

Just the NA TD42. It'll turn the 33's no worries, but I wanna keep the Fuel usage the same as I'm building a tourer.

Quick play up the hill

 

[tailpipez]

Havn't done much for a while now dew to knee surgery but starting to get a little done over the last week or so.

Put in two gas cookers in the rear barn doors one each side all bolted in nice and easy for those stops on the run with to much effort.

Will set up a led strip for some light at night.

[Rumcajs]

Awesome offroad rig...
 

Cheers

[tailpipez]

LED light strips in stalled now I can see what I am cooking.

[Fathom]

Awesome truck mate.

Well done.
