GQ on the road again - TX Graham

Post by offroadbiker »

:blonde: :blonde: :blonde:

So I scheduled a visit to "DOC Patrol" :eureka: for the GQ Friday morning first thing.

Graham fitted a long range tank 125-130L, so now I can finnaly get 500km on a tank of feul QQQ .

He then modded a GU rear drag link with the tie rod ends to fit the GQ, so that I can drive in a single lane again :redface: , set it up so whell that with the wheel alingnment only a very small adjustment was required :woo:

Thanks Graham for great service and getting me on the road again :thumbup:

Ps - fitted the 4.8 rear coils as well with some new -air bags-, so the rear looks much better and no more hanging over to one side. ( Sorry Tinus :redface: I forgot to measure before and after, but I could not see much of a difference and the back is still 5cm higher than the front).
