 haha, yeah the good old GQ's!! My Dad loves his GQ, same with my bro. We drive them both often 1000km south or north for work every year and they still go like the clappers. Car is all good, my Bro is a real grease monkey and kits his car out well.

as for the Nissans, Bro has another 3L Patrol (cant remember the model) and he would prefer to have the engine from a  4.2L GQ/Mav in his 3L

El Rolla-door ready to happen

Mon, 2012-02-13 14:12

Good luck with everything coming out unscathed.

Man even rally cars designed for this have problems sometimes with that much clearance. Bent diff housing, suspension, the potential list goes on.

Not to mention the possibility of steering grip in the front when the tyres dig in on landing ripping the wheel out of hands causing a nice El-Rolla-door.

This did happen to Carlos Sainz (Hence El-rolla-door) and Colin McRae at different rally Oz events.

Nice photo of this, but not what I call safe.

 Can you not read English. if you read what i said , why did you go and put up another pic under a different title.            YOU CANT NOMINATE YOUR OWN PIC.
