In 2003, Buddha drove his multi coloured GQ Patrol - with 6" lift, 2" bodylift, 5-Link front, 35" street tyres & towing a trailer with comp tyres & other gear - to Broken Hill, competed in the outback challenge & then drove it home again.

There were plenty of high speed stages including long distances at higher speeds during transit stages which it handled with-out any problems.

It does feel a bit like a boat though!!!

What sort of prices are the kits new, and what do they usually go for second hand?

Cheers!
