My "new" GQ shorty

Pre-production model manufactured September 1987 (reg. prod. start was Nov 87), TD42, 4 spd manual, manual steering, high roof 8-seater, TJM 75mm coils and shocks, 35x12.5R18 Cooper STT (first pic shows the old Generals), 4,625 gears with rear axle out of a RD28T with disc brakes and 100% locker.
I got it without engine/tranny for a steal, dropping in a Chev/TH700 combo

apparently the United Nations spec gq/gr whatever's, where 4 speed manuels. I have worked on a few high top swb safari's, they are grey imports into Australia and all have been "88/"89 models.

Nice find.

congrats! Nice to see you with another Patrol...

I really like the high-roof shorties myself. It should be sweet with the Chevy engine/gear box. Now just put an Atlas or Stak behind the auto and you can win comps if you want!

Hope I can find one just like it in 2012 when it is time for me to import my first GQ to the USA.

I have some 3.8:1 t-case gears sitting on the shelf waiting to be installed. No need for an Atlas though.
