Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Its cheap, the only thing with lexan in that way is its a bit harder to get a good finish I found, compared to a factory rear window anyway.

So the whole back a factory panel and if so how much is the panel and where do you get them from. I have seen a GU done this way before, it looks really neat.

The factory genuine back panel for the GQ is about $550 from memory and the part number is N/79100 39J30, the rear window part number is N/79712 10J01, the rear window rubber part number is N/79710 10J00

I think for the back panel, window rubber & window for mine was about $1000 but it looks better using as much factory parts as possable.

Cheers Mick.

My brain and figures sometimes work independent of each other what I meant to write was. I have seen GQ’s done this way before but never a GU, is the back panel of a GU cab chassis. The GQ’s have a humped out section on the back panel where the window fits, in these pictures that section looks flat.

I cant picture what a GU rear cab section looked like but they may have done to it what we did to my GQ and removed the bubble section and inverted like this.



Cheers Mick.

Yea its the back panel form a GU ute but we've cut it out and fitted it to the origional wagon rear so a factory window and seal can be used.

Cheers

mate when i did my gq - I paid $8700 for a perfect wagon and a ute was 20k. It cost me $1500 odd inc tray and full respray. AND - I could put my seat back!! i'm only 5'11'' but hate driving with my teeth on the wheel.

cheers bru

Here is the whole buildup from the start which it started as a Safari high roof. www.downunder4x4.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2249 & all the detailed pics are here on www.warrenl.gallery.netspace.net.au/mods

The basic specs are hydro assist,18inch fox shox in rear, 14inch Auss shock coilovers in the front, X link, 42s, exteral cage. We still have to build an A frame for the rear and we plan on fitting a 350 chev on straight gas some time in the future when I can afford it.

Cheers Mick.
