Quick noob question

[sparks23]

First off hi guys been checking this site out for a while helped me buy my first beast and start to set her up.

91 gq 4.2 carby fed pertrol with gas
4 inch efs
38 mickey T ATZ's

just bout to get turbo on for bit more power

got bout 1500 bucks left wondering what to do next to make her a more capable off road rig.

bit of sand work and cruiser park

any help appreciated

Snorkel, diff gears, some bar work for protection.

Is the $1500 left AFTER or BEFORE the turbo??

[chunderlicious]

locker in the rear atleast.

1500 is after turbo.

been told diff gears not a big issue with the power increase. even driving round now take off is not to bad.

rails also not much of an issue because she's a dirty old basher. i've taken off the rear step ready for tube bar and has a handy bullbar already.

locker im keen on not really sure what i need. i drive her beach, road and hard off road whats a good option?

she's no comp truck just fun

thanks for the help keep it coming.

also looking for good 4x4 shop bay side brissy

for a beach unit get a Air locker in the front,

you won't need it on the beach but with an Auto locker, it will drive like a pig in the sand, very hard to steer, with the air locker its disengaged until you put the air on

$1500 of fuel, turbo petrol on 38's its going to drink alot.
Also on the diff gears just because you have the power and clutch to get it up to speed (even a slow speed). Does not mean you want to drive obstacles at that speed.
Really 35's on a GQ in low 1st is to fast for most slow going work. And powering up such tracks is only going to end in tears. Even if it is just a basher. Also beat up POS are more likly to get attention from the Cops. Especially since your from QLD.

tell me about it. cops hit a mate pretty hard

just looked into the group buy of rock hoppers.

went to the guys at ARB capalaba and they where great. looked at new season air locker and compressor they look great will do the job nicely. little pricier than i'd like but hey.

thanks for the help guys

also thinking of shock spacers? how they go on gq?
