Photo's Of Your 4x4's - Something that you should get on here...  

Rookie

Got my racks and new Awning mounted yesterday morning. Only a few more grand to spend until I am done modding it.

OK so whats going on here, is im pulling all my aftermarket gear, as well as engine and gearbox and interior from the GQ i rolled down a hill, and putting it all in a GQ i bought that was standard but stripped to a rolling chassis after the owner pulled his small block chev and such out of it.
Getting there!
Has a 9500lb winch on a TJM bar, custom rear tube bar, drawer system, 4" lift (springs, 4" shocks, HD adjustable panhards and steering rod, HD trailing arms), extended brake lines and swaybar links, dual batteries, snorkel, and 33" BFG muddies. Basix stereo (4ch amp running 6" splits and 6x9's in the rear).
Will have brush bars and rock sliders before its back on road. All barwork has been freshly sandblasted and powdercoated black, as have the sunny wheels. Very neat! Hopefully keep this one on its wheels.

Should look great when its all done!

lil_bobby_260

Cheers mate! But yes I'm actually expecting it to look tough as hell. Very dark... It's all blue and black. Oh I also have a set of 4 IPF roof lights too, and the bonnet will be satin black to stop the glare that I use to get from them.

Well this is my baby AWD but its high enough to thrash it a little hehe getting a respray soon and then getting some do it in the dirt plates, anyone seen me ripping it up at the spit? hehe



And here's me with my baby

lil_bobby_260

You must really love your energy drinks

RKSears

Hellz to the yes hehe

Twist

I gotta give it to ya, you love doing things the hard way by pulling everything apart

Lose the monster sticker and it'll look better.

RKSears

I know lol its getting painted soon, so all its stickers will be stripped. It was just one of those "cool" things I did on my red Ps lol

CALIbrated

Yeah, say goodbye to the monster sticker, definitely.

There's a few things you can do to the foz to make them a bit more capable off road. But depends what you want to use it for.

RKSears

Shes just my little beach basher people on cruises I go on tell me to drop it on its arse, wouldnt drop it or lift it, stock is best

CALIbrated

Everytime I see a foz dropped on its guts, I die a little inside.

Foz has fairly decent ground clearance from factory, so if its just for beach work, no real need to lift it. Some A/T tyres will make it more capable. There are no bullbars I know of that actually look remotely decent on a foz, so nudgebars are the only way to go really, to mount some spotties and a UHF. Have you got a towbar? if not i'd suggest looking at one so you can be recovered properly (with a hitch receiver, not off the towball).

RKSears

Of course it has a towbar in the square bracket thing so I can pull it off dont normally leave it on for day to day use, just looks ugly

CALIbrated

Cool, you're off to a good start

I nearly bought a foz, before I decided on an X-Trail. But I've moved on to bigger things since then

RKSears

Well I wanted something thats nice and zippy on the road(beaten a fair few of the skylines that come on our cruises in it, and smoke the commodores) and something that is capable of getting dirty haha and at the spit... its gets dirty hehe wish I had footage of it, pretty funny seeing it race a skyline then go kick up some dust haha

lil_bobby_260

Umm... not too many other ways of doing it, buddy.
If youve got a bent body on a mechanically perfect car with thousands of dollars of aftermarket gear, a mint interior, and a perfect engine and box, and a second one that has no engine gearbox or aftermarket parts and a rooted interior, what would you consider to be the easy way, mate?

CALIbrated

forget about it, and move on with another car? that would be the easy way

Your way is alot of effort, but rewarding at the end.

lil_bobby_260

umm this IS another car... you saying i should just bin all my aftermarket gear and buy it all again? Instead of taking it off my rolled car and putting it on the new one?
Fuck i wish i was made of money like you pair must be... To throw away about $5,000 worth of stuff...
Thats bloody stupid mate. Youre telling me you wouldnt just transfer your stuff to a different stock standard car? Riiiiggghhhht....

CALIbrated

uhm. thats not what I was saying.

I was implying, that would be the easy way.

I agree with the way you are doing it.

mikejoel

looking good mate

matty_boy

my vitara lifted.
also up for sale!

Twist

Settle down cunt, I was actually giving you a compliment.

And FYI, I've been unemployed for the majority of the year, so dont give me this 'fuck I wish I was made of money like you two must be'. I'm scrapping the bottom of my money. Buddy.

few pics from landcruiser park on the weekend,

lil_bobby_260

Are you on crack? Go back and re-read there you pulled my quote from - its was a reply to calibrated, not to you.
I think it is YOU who needs to settle down, youre a bit quick to snap at someone mate. I dont think i really deserved that outburst from you there.
And get a job.
That said, youre both telling me im going about it wrong or doing it the hard way or whatever, when its obviously the smartest thing to do, and the easiest way. Youve got NO idea, mate.

Twist

I quoted that one cause it was the quickest one. You took a swipe at both me and Cali, when there was no need to. I was giving you a compliment and clearly you took it out of context.

CALIbrated

You obviously haven't read my response to you

MJ80

Yall needa take a step back right quick here partners and reconsie what yall is spittin, yall is brothas man, brothas in the game of 4wds in SE QLD and needa be cool ya heard me, shits just a misundastandin right, real proper talk

T4ZZ

^^ Haha

LeTRON

lmao MJ80!

While I'm laughing I'm not sure I understand the meaning of it

Gerry Giraffe

Sorry dude, you took what twist and Cali said the wrong way. They were just giving you a bit of ribbing. I assume from twist said "you like doing things the hard way" as in, had you not rolled your first gq you wouldn't have had to change everything over to the new shell. But now that you have had to change everything over its more rewarding because you can say "i have built this truck myself".

Calibrated was just being sarcastic with "forget about it, and move on with another car? that would be the easy way " Hence the Again had you not gone and rolled your first gq, blah blah blah. What they mean by "doing it your way" is like saying, with a bit of tongue in cheek sarcasm "well i would have just not rolled my 4wd lol". You have taken this hole thing a bit to seriously man.

Anyways on another note, your new GQ is looking tops! Good effort.
