Re: Securing Synthetic Rope to Drum.
Just weave a loop into the end like you do on the hook side and use stick on sand paper on the drum. You can then roll the whole lot out and it will not spin norwill it ever run of.

Yeah mate. GQ 4.2D then turboed it. Even the clutch pedal out of the GQ bolted up but had to cut and move the pedal over a little.

Re: will gq gear box fit in gu patrol?
I fitted one to my GU. I went from GU auto 4.5 petrol to GQ manuel 4.2 Diesel and I had no issues. Yes the GQ and GU box have different top hats and I have heard of people trying to do the swap with no luck. I can take a photo if that helps. ;-)

Re: Canning Stock Route/ shockies
We just did Cape York to the tip and back to Brisbane with new dobinson shocks and they performed absolutly awsome. The GU just stuck to the corragations and was a smooth ride. No need to throw good money away when a great ride can be had for way less.

Re: Factory Turbo vehicle fitted with a Pyro. Temps?
In the Dump pipe. 900
It all comes down to what pistons the motors are running. I read to make the vehicles more efficient they have purposly run EGT hotter but they also redesigned the pistons to take the increase in temps.

Hi Cris,
Connecting to the starter would simplify things greatly for me and would be the best scenario but almost everyone else I've asked told me it was a must to connect directly to the batteries? It'd be great if they were all wrong... Can you confirm? Any drawbacks with going to the starter ...
