ummmm...........without a few mods no, i seem to remember some one sayin that the chassis rail width is different by 10mm, im not sure which is wider thou, also you would have to check bolt hole ocations and drill them as necessary

Nope







easy answer :finger:








the chassis's are differant in width, but like everything it will depend on how well you can weld and how determined you are to make it fit.

MQ chassis is marginally wider.... i measured in on my MQ and my GQ a while back... its only about 10 mm....

its a simple matter of just getting your MQ bar and spacing it 10mm on the brackets, re drilling the holes and some slightly longer bolts and you should be right.

Also apart from the different chassis width the actual mq bar from flat section to the top of the tubes is about two inches higher so you will have the middle tube braces right in the middle of your headlights???

Used to be a very useful thread on this (back when I asked the same thing), but unfortunately the pictures have gone AWOL. Still might be useful...

Probably not. This is a pic of my MQ with a GQ bar on the front, the opposite way around to whats being asked here, but none the less the middle bar is sitting just below the headlights, so an MQ bar shouldn't be to much different.

The mounts would have to be changed anyway, so could raise or lower the bar to suit any negligable differences in headlight heights
