just wanting some opinions as i am either going to purchase a mq/k or gq patrol as a project 4b. as i currently own a gq ute i dont have to much knowlage on the mq's (k's) cant say ive ever seen a mk. but anyway coil spring is almost a certain on my list. just curios if any mq's come out with 4 coils or are they leaf sprung. if so can u get much flew out of a leaf sprung. im guessing no where near as much a a coil... my other option (dont hate me) is a swb 40 series... anybody know much bout these. pretty sure they are leaf sprung as well. true? i just want a simple easy to work on truck. i also plan to do a v8 motor conversion.any inputs would be appreaciated.. thanks :lol:

Go the GQ. Would be the best starting platform out of them all.

GQ is the only way to go. Bolt in GU front n Koyo 104 GU steer box, good quality suspension, TJM prolockers n forget about the rest of them

whats your budget all up?

No MQ/K came with coils.

my budget is round the 10k for the base car then i intend to work on it from there... at 1st it will be just a fun car on the weekends with mates. not a daily driver as i already got a 93 gq trayback for that but evantually i would like to get into some serious competetions.

id go a gq wagon (chop it later if u get sick of the panels). or a shorty n chop it and extend the wheelbase.

my car owes me 12ish n it has lift, bar work, turbo, modded pump, 35's and a factory locker.
i paid 8 for it with turbo, lift, tyres n locker then added my own touches. ull find some good bargans on here n on ebay just be patient n look round
