Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am thinking about purchasing a gu patrol just wanted some opinions on the best models to suit my needs.
I have a HJ75 ute, but have a baby on the way, so need more sets.
I am a sparky so need the space of a wagon for work. But for play, I plan to do some serious off-road weekends away and am a fan of diesels, I am a toyota man about to make the change so be nice please.

Also will my 35" simex ET 2's on 15x10's fit a gu or do I sell them with the 75 ute?

Cheers Paul.

The 35's should fit, but you would want to stick at least 2" suspension under it just for a bit of extra clearance.

Id keep em, the simexit will make your GU an absolute weapon..

Hey Paul, good to see you finally come to your senses

What about the 15" part I know they go on gq's but wasn't sure about gu calipers with 15" rims?

I have an 04 gu ute 4.2td and 15s fit them

I think the 4.8 petrol will not fit 15s

ive got a 99 GU Td42 n 15" fit fine not so sure bout the 06,07 models they seem to have larger disc brakes

Thanks people. Maybe be looking at GU wagon 4 to 5 years old can anyone confirm that 15 x 10's would fit?
Also if models this age are a good choice or had any problems in petrol or diesel / turbo diesel?

Are the 3.0td any good for serious offroading with 35's or should he be looking at the 4.2td only, and why.

For decent clearance with 35's and no swaybars is 2" lift enough or is 4"-5" better? Much involved in lifting GU's 4-5"? Are they much the same as the GQ's?

Another option is 2" susp and 2" body lift. What are your suggestions?

with airbags body lift can be a problem with dot, suspension is all the same as gq n 10" rims will fit, also I would recomend 4.2 turbo deisel or non turbo then put turbo on it 3 litres have crap clutches n short life span in compareson also have no torqe when off booste
