COMPLETE SUSPENSION for TOUGH TRACKS & TOURING

- I bought a new car during the period when my chopped GQ Patrol snapped its second crank before my trip to Cape York. I decided that eventually the GQ is going to be too old, worn out, rusty & broken one day rotting in a paddock with the inability to get parts eventually & so one day I'd probably need to go to the next model. I bought a GU Patrol from my mates pop that was untouched and I have been using it as a daily for the past year & for stealing the odd part off to keep the GQ on the road. But now it's time to start giving it some love on the channel with a few other exciting updates!

Great vid Timmy. One thing mate and it's critical, please weld in long sleeves and long pants. I used to do exactly what you're doing when I was a young fella. Didn't care about the UV burns...till I was in my late 40s and told I've got skin cancer. Two surgeries so far. Please mate for your own good and every other young UA-camr, cover up your skin. Be smart. Cheers mate.
Yeah you’re absolutely right mate, drew is always onto me about it and I don’t take it seriously enough, even after having ark burn a few times, I’ll have to take it more seriously, thanks for commenting dude! Keep onto me about it haha
Yeah second that mate. I'm only about 12 years older than you and getting melanomas while my kids go through school is a bit scary.
We need the good ones like you around for a while Timmy
Also ear defenders when using the grinder😊
I don't give a F#$% this is fast becoming one of the best.... Na F@#$ it, it is the best 4x4 channel currently on UA-cam....absolute GOLD Timmy....I don't know how but it feels fresh it feels original over the rest...
Wow dude thanks so much, I truly truly appreciate that thank you, still with respect to the others obviously cause I love a lot of them haha thanks for watching mate
@@timmyhasheart 💯
This is the build I wanna watch.
Awesome mate hope you enjoyed!! 🔥🔥
@@timmyhasheart yeah I did. It’ll be good because it’ll give me ideas for my gu
Tim, always an absolute pleasure to sit, relax and watch your Vlogs. 100% always a great pleasure to see your engineering and magician fixes. Thanks for sharing.
Always appreciate your well thought out comments mate thank you, thanks for sticking by the channel! 🙏🏻
Another great video mate and keen for the rest of the build series!
Thanks bro cheers for watching!! I’m keen for it all to be done I miss driving it haha
Think i learn more from watching your videos then i do from my yr 12 automotives class. Keep up the good work Timmy
Hahaha thanks mate that’s awesome 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Not many videos have made me want @superior gear more than this. Love it mate
Haha, I personally love it, not into pushing it onto everyone else but it’s what I choose by a long shot, if for nothing else then just simply the engineering side is so good 👊🏻👊🏻
Vids are just getting better every time. Keep it up man 🤙
Thanks so much mate 🙏🏻 as long as I am doing something worth filming I’ll be here dude!
Another great video. Look forward to the next one !!!!
Cheers mate! 🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing Timmy. Good work! Cheers
Cheers mate 🔥🔥🔥
Another Great Episode Timmy. Love watching the build-up.
Thanks so much mate, appreciate you 👊🏻👊🏻
Killer video I’ve been absolutely loving these it’s awesome having another tassie bloke who goes in depth about everything and really takes you through it all! Keep it up Timmy!!
Tassie represent mate! Thanks so much for watching 👊🏻👊🏻
Yeomans job Tim! An army of one. Fascinating process to watch. Tight editing with a nice pace. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot for watching Mike! Good to see so many familiar names returning I appreciate it 👊🏻👊🏻
Love your work Timmy, bet you can't wait to get your hoist 😊
We put one in 5 or 6 years ago, and it was the best thing....use it most weekends!
Cheers Rob
Oh mate so so keen! Going to make life so much easier, thanks for watching mate 🤛🏻🤛🏻
Awesome build Timmy.. you are a natural in front of the camera. Nicely explained info to what you atr doing. Watching this one for sure. Great work. Cheers 👍
Cheers boss! And thanks for the kind words I appreciate that. 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome content once again Timmy 👍🏽
Thanks for watching dude! 👍🏻👍🏻
Sick video man loving the build 🤙🏻
Thanks so much mate!! Stay tuned heaps more cool stuff to come!!
Sick edit as usual. Love ya work dude 🤟👍
Cheers dude! Appreciate it been putting a bit more effort into the editing 🔥🔥
Great vid timmy you've really given a young blole like myself some banging ideas for whag i wanna do to my cars, and these vids are great informational wise too, learnt a heap of stuff from these great job!
That’s awesome mate, there’s something I just know in my heart but keep failing to mention in a video and that’s just that this is what “I want to install” this is how “I want to build my car” they don’t actually need everything I bolt to them to enjoy.. I just froth modifying and installing stuff so that’s what I do. So keep that in your heart and get out and use it first and foremost 👍🏻
Just came across your channel last vid. Love the content. Can’t wait for the next 👍
Awesome dude!! Thanks for coming back 🫡🫡
Great work Timmy. Looking forward to seeing it all up and running! I feel your pain with the hours spent feeling like achieving nothing just to move onto the next step! Many times spent at home in my garage questioning why I don’t just pay someone as the frustration levels build 😂 going to be a good looking rig by the time we see the next vid 👍
Haha glad I’m not alone, but working on your own stuff is good for your soul & it helps you understand the car when you’re remote too! Thanks mate 👍🏻
Cracking video as usual Timmy!
Cheers my man 🙏🏻🙏🏻
As always, cracking episode 👊👊👊
Thanks bro 🫡🫡
Another killer episode timmy👍keen for more🍻
Yeah boy!! More is coming, thanks for watching mate 🫡🫡
Wicked video ! Go the Patrol ute ! Very interesting to see all the modifications. Good workshop shed style location ! Lucky 🛻📹🤙😎
Yeah very lucky to be able to borrow it for sure!! Keen to have my own finished!
Great content mate. I always wanted to see how the superior gear fitted to the patrols. Awesome editing
Thanks heaps mate cheers for watching 🙏🏻
Nice bruz
Editing and music r on point aswell
Thanks heaps mate 🙌🙌
Content going to another level, keep it up. Currently working a 96 GQ Tb, and a flash tool kit would be handy.
Thanks heaps mate 🔥🙏🏻
Enjoying this series mate. I got a12/06 coil cab. Had it 3 years, n love it. Unfortunately, I got a limited budget, so my build is waaaayyyyy slower. That said, i just ordered superior comp spec drag link and tie rod. Mine were both a bit how ya goin, n after ur yarn last episode, I pulled the trigger.
Still really enjoy ur content mate. Really good quality videography, combined with knowledge n a grouse presentation. You deserve to do really well from ur effort. Anyways….👍🍻🎯🇦🇺
Yeah at the very least I’d definitely do the steering arms they pay dividends if you get the wheel snatched from your hands a few times haha. But yeah I’m very blessed to have superior onboard but I do put a lot into these videos and I paid a lot to them getting the stuff for the GQ ages ago and loved it, only reason I keep going back!! Thanks for watching mate
Loveing the content mate.
Thanks so much mate, appreciate you watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent vid as always mate and as has been said you’re making killer content and it’s awesome to just see a dude in his shed having a crack but doing a good job of it. The internet is overrun with game “game changing” 70 series garden shed builds. It’s genuinely refreshing to see something different.
Haha appreciate that dude, I’m a bit torn cause like a lot of people throw a superior catalogue at a car but I dunno, it’s what I was doing even before a camera was pointed at it, I froth patrols, froth superior gear and just doing me, glad it shows to most 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you
@@timmyhasheart nah I think it’s all good mate because your breaking it up with good diy and fabrication type stuff 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate, well I do vow this, the moment I’m just doing something purely for a video I’ll hang up the camera guaranteed, appreciate the kind words 🔥🔥
Good vid Timmy coming together nicely brother!!
Going to be one very capable Gu mate..
Thanks heaps mate!! I hope so!! Truthfully I’m not a big fan of GUs I much prefer GQs but I did want something a little newer and nicer so hopefully I can get it up to a level I want it at 👊🏻👊🏻
@timmyhasheart I was the same much preferred my gq over my gu..
On road noise with the Gq was insane compared to the GU..
Similar set ups but the gq set on the road and handled heaps better same on the tracks as well..
Power wise the GU with a turboed tb45e was insane compared to a stock tb42e..
@@scotthunter1639 haha yeah I’d love to try a turbo TB in the Q, the TD is perfect for the U though 🫡
@timmyhasheart Tb45 was insane back when I did mine there wasn't much info available compared to now..
I built my own turbo manifold bcs off the shelf stuff didn't fit right..
Even ecu's to run the whole system..
If mine was manual I could've got a haltech or wolf to suit..
But being auto wasn't much available..
Would prefer a td anyway for reliability..
Daaamn dude, I don't even own a solid axle front vehicle and Ive just watched all of this with great interest 😂
Hahaha that’s awesome mate I appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Rig rundown on old mates green extra cab 😂, another great educational video timmy keep up the quality video bud
Haha I had a feeling that request would come, I might have to do a video with him wheeling 👍🏻👍🏻
One weekend all the boys should get together and show their rigs ahah
@@Jacko_95some would probably want to… keep them a secret ;) hahaha “rig rundowns” have also been done to death a bit but I’d love to go for a wheel with him for sure! He’s keen!
Not much to be said about old mates green extra cab, would be a boring run down 😅
Hi Timmy your car is a beast, G?Day from Switzerland / Dan
Thanks for stopping by mate! Appreciate you watching, greetings from Australia! 🇦🇺
Great vid Tim
Are you going to do the wrap around front coil tower ( Bump Stop )brace . ?
Na not to this car mate, I might if it was a GQ, but GU are pretty strong around there with the extra stuff from factory and it’s not getting hydros 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video as always. Your work looks so clean. How’d you learn to weld?
Ahhh just self taught and then Drew sort of got me in a better direction with a few things he’s a boily, picked stuff up off him and others! Thanks dude 🔥
With the ball joints after all the times ive fought to seperate them ive started copper anti seizing them and they no longer give me near as much trouble when i need to pull them apart.
That’s a good idea, I have considered it before but you also want it to bite and not spin when you’re tightening or loosening, they’re a pain when they spin haha
@timmyhasheart they usually just grip if the threads are good they'll stay put till you torque them up. If they spin usually a blow from wren.. um hammer will usually fix them. Ive just replaced the steering idler arm on my PK Ranger and it was a quite a fight to get it off as i hadnt anti seized it last time and access isnt the best to give it a good whack.
@@kiho1995I might try antiseize next time!! But yeah I haven’t come across one yet that takes more than 10 good hits haha
Low n flex mate it’s all about the droop aye hope ya well cobba cheers
I agree mate!! The GU won’t flex quite like the GQ but I had to compromise a bit cause I want it to ride amazing without being on the bumps all the time 👍🏻👍🏻
@@timmyhasheart that’s the game Tim your absolutely on track with it too it’s guna be sick
Ohhhhhh shittttt yeah boyyy
🔥🔥🔥
Timmy love the vids, looking to fit the 2.5s , will you be doing a review of the lift/ shocks after the cars first trip? Curious wether you went with heavy or light valving
I believe I chose the heavy valving in the order mate, I did email the cars intentions & what would be bolted to it front and rear too, whether that had a bearing of how it was valved I’m not sure.
I have driven the car over a bunch of bumps and woops near my place, the rear is too stiff to tell without a tray, but the front is instantly better than my GQ. The only downside I can possibly pick is the travel, but I also wouldn’t wanna ruin a shock this good by bumping too close anyway, but yeah stay tuned definitely keen to review them down the track once I’ve used them 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@timmyhasheart ripper thanks for the heads up I’ve been eyeing these for a while since I noticed Dan running them, keen as for the next update!
Be really careful with diff brace to sump clearance ... mine hit in the simpson and conrods hit sump nearly wearing right through before i got back to a major town.
Yeah mate you’re bang on I should have mentioned that, I had mine tap the sump in the GQ too before I went to hydros, so I’m all over it but yeah I should have mentioned it in the episode thanks mate 👍🏻
Loving the new build content. I’ve got a coiled single cab 79 series but I think I might need to look for a GU for a 2nd rig. 🤙🏻
Haha nice!! Damn I wish I could afford a 79 and a GU 😂😂
What was your deal braker option for going with superiors drop boxes and radius arms Instead of say buds long arm kit for examples?
Buds isn’t engineerable in Tassie but all superior gear is! And I know superior been running them for years and the final one is obviously they look after me as a sponsor 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome episode mate, what height springs are you running?
Hey mate they’re soft 4” with the intention of it sagging to 3” for engineering and thank you dude thanks for watching 👊🏻👊🏻
This build is really big swearing and throwing tools I know your feeling hahah. I done the excalty same work when I had my GU never never again now it's someone else probably I love my old 60 series haha. What's your goal with all when it's finished doing extrem tracks or doing what dan kistler does winch challenge?
Haha that’s the way it always goes!! Ahh so the GQ will be the tough stuff around home and Vic, and then the GU will be doing more of the longer distance stuff like the cape and that, but I still want it to be capable enough to do like glassy and that 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey bro so you've had wagons and utes just wanna get a opinion which do you think is better I'm currently 18 but I'll eventually want a family you know so would it be worth getting a Ute has that's my dream car or a wagon i love them both just Utes take my heart is there any difference to maintaining it or rear setups or which one performs better in the tracks
Oh mate it’s the age old question, the grass is always greener on the other side.. I loved my wagon, I think all in all a wagon is better, but you WILL damage it if you wheel it hard, it’s just whether you’re okay with that or not which I am, I love a dinged up GQ.. but a Ute is definitely a lot more forgiving on the tracks that’s for sure. 👍🏻
beautiful project, please tell me the link or brand of the antenna you have installed, thank you
Thanks heaps mate, cheers for watching, the antenna is a GME 6.5db 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Timmy are you going to run bead locks on the gu .?
Ahh not sure, it might be a bit risky, like the GQ is only ever offroad really with the beadlocks but the GU is going to be doing a lot more kms so yeah I’ll see how I go cause I also hate knocking tyres off the rim haha
That’s a suspicious looking hole you’ve got in your shorts at 2:22 there timmy 😂
Hahahaha I noticed like later in the day 🤣🤣 thought shiiiet I ain’t starting again hahaha
Great video! What’s your go to brand for rattle can paint?
I really like the Dulux stuff, and I like using aerosol pressure pack on chassis, tube & diffs because 2k tends to chip and flake and this stuff is nice and soft so it just rubs off instead and you can endlessly touch it up 👍🏻
@@timmyhasheart thanks mate, that’s exactly the application i had in mind. Looks like a lot of brands remove the harmful chemicals and the paint is just not the same it used to be. I bought a can of VHT roll bar & chassis the other day to try out. Dulux has been added to the list.
@@andrefischer5025that VHT is absolutely awesome, even for decorative I used their cherry apple red for my tappet cover on my other motor and it is bloody awesome looks pro!! On a late night Bunnings trip though it’s dulux haha
@@timmyhasheart cool! Now I just need to get that ex NZ army paint off (a wire wheel just polishes that stuff…..) to put the VHT on
We’re did you use to find zero when setting the king pin angle?
The ground mate 👍🏻👍🏻
@@timmyhasheart thank you
What lights are those
I believe they’re “Aurora Custom” mate 👍🏻👍🏻 cost a fair bit 🤣
@timmyhasheart frothing the content and edit mate
Little tip with patrols on hoist lift up and take out front coils, lower down and remove rear lifting arms, lift front of patrol only from behind gearbox crossmember. Chock rear wheels and strap hoist to chassis ✌️makes front suspension proper easy
Oh yeah that’s a good idea, I didn’t even think of just lifting the front up haha, well there you go. Ahh well we did it in the end haha. Cheers dude!
All good mate when you own a hoist you come up with some wild ideas 🤘
Big call to say for touring , not sure you need it for touring .
That’s precisely what this car is for haha, I want to be able to tour to cape York and hit hard tracks on the way home 🤷🏻♂️
Where did u get the blacked out lights they look smick
Cheers mate!! They’re Aurora Custom 🙏🏻
Hello sir myre chennal pe alignment and Cambar se related video hey accha lage to comment kigiye🙏🙏😊
To save me watching another you tuber commercial for superior do you mention the cost of the gear and labour to fit it ??? My guess is not mentioned as it’s way to expensive for the average joe . Seems you have to be on you tube to get superior for free
Why would anyone just get it for free? If you want the price look at the website.
He’s literally sponsored by them you donkey dick. If you want the price you have Google and fingers. Learn how to search things up
@@blakewatson6265 you telling me that you tubers pay for it . Your a fool . And I shouldn’t have to look at the website they expect you to buy that’s why they all plug the crap . Yet convenient forget the price ... wake up to yourself
Appreciate the comment guys, so here’s the deal, I’m not about bullshitting people so I’ll give it to you straight which I feel like I do but maybe you’re new here. I spent about 12-15k as an “average Joe” with my own money on the GQ about 4 years ago, I loved it enough to pay then solely as a customer and I love them enough to endorse it now as I’ve grown as a channel, yes they look after me, as do kincrome and as do ultimate 9 as shown at the start of every episode. Wouldn’t show it if I didn’t froth it, but I also understand you don’t want to see an ad and that’s sweet too just unsubscribe, but thanks for watching and thanks for the comment all the same! 🙏🏻
Sorry I forgot to include I believe the retail price of this same kit in this car would be the same as my GQ, about 12-13 depending what shocks and extras you chose, which plenty of “average joes” pay every day cause they’re a mint Aussie company who make mint? Legal suspension and work hard to get it through all the testing to be legal replacements
