Grant you know I do, on my Y61
Very happy with it.
I can't think what factors to consider to be different for the GQ?
The only problem is Mother in law has to use a step to get in!
Once in though, you have better game watching. So in Kgalegadi last year, she was not complaining.

Did you see some more monster trucks on your last trip to the USA?
Made you feel like it is time for the next mod?

When doing the body lift, besides fitting the spacers, what other work needs to be done?
