- This is no regular "Rig Rundown" or "Modified" episode. It is an entire journey through the whole life of my GQ Patrol, from the day I bought it to the day I chopped it & all of the modifications I did to it & the adventures it took me on in between. It also has never before seen footage from Cape York, Fraser Island & Glasshouse Mountains!

You hit the nail on the head with it being an evolution. You aren't one of the fake youtubers who just bolt parts from sponsors on, thanks so much for telling the story!!
I like to think I’m not, and it’s part of the reason I wanted to tell the whole story, that this Ute didn’t just appear out of nowhere all over the top with crazy stuff bolted to it.. like I got there slowly and paid for most of it, it’s only recently that a couple of companies have stepped in and helped out, and they’re companies I proudly shopped at prior, like superior and outback. 🙏🏻
Thanks for taking the time to comment & thanks for the kind words mate appreciate it 👊🏻
Couldn't agree more. Great video!
Good shit boss, amazing inspiration to just get out n do it 💪
Cheers mate that’s what she’s all about!
Throughly enjoyed mate keep
It up 👌🏻💨
Thanks heaps for watching mate glad you enjoyed it 👌🏻
Great again. Showing the whole way from stock to chopped. And not as all the other rigrundowns all the axpensive blingbling they had others installed. Good earthed content.
Thanks heaps mate that’s what she’s about, I’ve always wanted to show that like.. I mean yeah I’ve spent crazy amounts on this car but to be honest it did a lot of tough stuff and saw the country without half the bells and whistles people shove in your face 👊🏻
Love this so much, great to see the evolution of this absolute beast 💪🏼
Thanks Jen, come up mint 🙏🏻
Best channel not hyped up is what it is, build fix your own gear, you get out and use you stuff humble and modest.
Appreciate you mate, that’s what she’s about 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome content, always love seeing how people’s rigs evolve and yours certainly has evolved 👍
Haha yeah it has, thanks mate 🙏🏻
Nice to hear the full story 👌
Been eager to see each and every video since the beginning of your channel. Keep up the good work mate 👍
Awesome mate thanks for checking it out 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Absolutely unreal video mate, awesome story, hopefully the car keeps evolving with you and there’s plenty more trips to do 🤙
Heck yeah mate thanks heaps, I’m sure I’ll continue to find stuff to tinker with on it haha.
Great episode mate 👍🏼 loved listening to the build story over the years definitely my type of video to watch 😊
Awesome mate!! Good to hear, honestly it worries me doing a video of me just talking haha, and I mean especially for an hour, (cut down to 28mins) but yeah, appreciate that people wanna hear dude cheers
I’ve been watching your channel for a while and have thought for a long time that you seem like a good bloke and run one of the better UA-cam channels - your history shows your love for the lifestyle and your rig way before potentially getting famous entered your head and it shows!
Good job mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Mate.. Honestly, I appreciate that comment so much.. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. That is 100% what I’m about, what this video is about and always have been. So yeah, thanks again mate. Glad you enjoyed and got the vibe you did. 👊🏻
@@timmyhasheart keep it up mate, you’re killing it! 👍🏻👍🏻
Appreciate you mate 🙏🏻
What an awesome build and awesome video. Keen to see the future of this rig!
Thanks mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love it mate awesome rundown of how it all started 🤙
Thanks for checking it out mate, was definitely fun to go back and find all the old clips to put it all together for y’all 🙏🏻
What a sick episode Tim thanks for sharing 🤙
Thanks heaps for watching mate! Appreciate it glad you enjoyed 🙏🏻
Quality vid mate just keeps getting better and better keep up the awesome work 👍👌
Thanks so much mate appreciate it cheers for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your rigs life story, to date. I love the philosophy of only change it if its a problem. Makes sense for some of us that dont have sponsorship or big money to burn.
Keep up the good work on your channel to Tim, its bloody brilliant. And original too
Yeah definitely mate, I appreciate that.
To be honest it still blows my mind that I have a couple of brands willing to help me with some gear but even before that every spare cent I had went into these cars haha. But yeah I’m a firm believer of using it first and buying stuff later 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@timmyhasheart good to see the brands getting behind some grass roots down to earth enthusiasts, like youself. Keep up the good work, and Im sure more brands will help out.
@@chrisspies8123 Thanks so much mate, appreciate the support!
Been loving watching your videos bro your a mad man behind the wheel keep the videos coming
Hahaha glad it comes across that way, I just flick every button I’ve got and hope for the best 🙏🏻
You finally made the video and it was epic thank you so much
Yeah mate finally got around to it 😂 cheers mate appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻
great video mate, inspiration to slowly but surely build my old td. looking forward to see whats coming
Get her done mate, doesn’t have to happen over night, bit by bit they eventually get there! 👍🏻
Great vid Timmy, thanks for sharing. 👌
No problem at all mate thanks for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video Timmy ! I started watching a few years back and love your content cheers!
Thanks heaps mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I only have been uploading this year though haha
Go the Patrol! Congrats on your trip! 🏞️🛻😎🤙📹
Cheers mate, thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great vid Tim. As usual. Still the best GQ on UA-cam, in my opinion.
Haha mint thanks mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻
bro this honestly makes me wanna get myself a gq wags
Hahaha mate it makes me miss my GQ wags! But was just too rusty and ruined in the end 😅
Best channel going around atm. Just watched all episodes of the chop. Keep up the great work 💯👍👌. Got me wanting to chop the GU. Great knowledge out of it
Thanks so much mate, appreciate you checking out the older videos too! Only chop it if you have to haha, it’s a lot of work. 😅
@@timmyhasheart yeah it's going to happen mate but will be giving myself more time than 17 weeks 🤣. Cheers 👍
Awesome vid mate, great to see where it's come from.
Cheers dude appreciate it 🙏🏻
Great video as always Timmy
Awesome mate thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome Timmy
Great post
The car has been in a journey
Thanks mate! It sure has 😅 been through a LOT and still kicking
Love the video Timmy
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it 👌🏻
Loved it Timmy. Real.
Cheers mate 👊🏻 glad you enjoyed it
Awesome episode! Love the story telling of the build. It's much like my story with my patrol.
Thanks heaps mate!! It’s bloody awesome to go back and see where they came from hey, was heaps of fun going through all the old footage of all the things I’ve done and places I’ve been.
love this, going the ht18 for my N/A aswell, sounds the way to go
If you’re on a budget, and just want to scoot a bit quicker on the highway, I’d find a secondhand one off a GU every day of the week, benefit is all off the shelf exhausts fit..
If you want a bit more efficiency and don’t mind spending a bit extra, I’d look at a 16g or GTurbo Green Wheel with a HT18 rear housing, so that factory exhausts still fit. (GTurbo also sell a great factory replica manifold if you can’t find a factory one.
Keep up the good work mate,love the no bull real adventures and awesome tech content ,swb gq here in NZ ,so envious of the tracks on ya doorstep haha , keep it up !!!!👌👍
Oh nice!! I’m jealous of all the GQ’s you seem to have available over there haha.
But yeah thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words, much appreciated
Cool episode, really awesome you do so much yourself. Never due attitude 👍👍
Cheers mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻 just learned as I went bro anyone could do it 💁🏻♂️🤙🏻

Thanks heaps mate, glad you enjoyed it 👊🏻👊🏻

Cheers mate, thanks for always stopping by! 🤙🏻
She’s turned out wicket 😍
Cheers boss man 🙏🏻🙏🏻
great rig story, very well put togther
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
love the video bro. Bought a RB30 GQ patrol was loved every second on being in it and around it, unfortunately had some overheating issues and inside the rocker cover was a fair bit milky. saving up and going to get it running as best as can be, thought Id just share keep up the amazing work!
Nice one mate anything is fixable!! Appreciate you checking out the video 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Friggen awesome video mate!
Thanks mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I really liked the GQ wagon... Had one a little while ago. So bloody capable straight out of the box.
But a GQ ute well thats another level .... Love the end result Tim, its a weapon!!!!?
Haha thanks mate, heck yeah they are, that’s what I wanted to show in this, like I didn’t even modify it until like years in! Appreciate it mate I do love the Ute but I miss the wags haha
Awesome vid dude keep it up.🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for watching mate 🫶🏻
Another sick video keep them comming man
Cheers mate appreciate it 🔥
Great video mate 👍
Cheers bud, thanks for watching 👊🏻
Glad this came up on autoplay following now
Thanks so much mate, appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
awesome content brother 🤙🏼
Cheers mate 🙏🏻 thanks for watching 👊🏻
Another super video 👍💪👍
Nice mate thank you, thanks for checking them all out! 🙏🏻
Great channel mate 👏👏
Thank you mate 👌🏻
"I took it on the beach" has video absolutely bombing sand dunes 🤣🤣🤙🏼 fkn love it
Yeah boi that’s how you enjoy the beach in a 4wd 👊🏻👊🏻
Love it mate!👍🏼👏🏼 Anyone can go out and blow $100k and get it done in a shop in one bang, but you did it step by step and truly evolved this thing into a beast. A true work of art mate, made by you! Thanks for sharing! One question I’ve always had - why do these GQ’s blow so much coal? I love it…and the sound. 👏🏼 I wish my diesel could do that. Is it a high output fuel pump that does that?
Thanks so much mate, I mean I don’t think it’s horrible to go blow $100k and do it all at once if you have the money and it’s what you want to do, it’s more so feeling like you HAVE to, to be able to get out there, it’s just not true, this car did everything it ever needed to 100 mods ago haha, everything since then is just cause I wanted to. 😂
Mine blew coal while I had the fuel cranked up, yeah. It doesn’t now though I’ve tuned it right right back in order to look after the new engine 🙏🏻
Coolest video ever. I recognized the rig from Tylers videos and Sub'd immediately. Super cool rig
That’s awesome dude thank you 👊🏻👊🏻
Been really enjoying your channel. Really love the flex your getting. Watching you drive through lines and the coils doing their job, and body staying nice and flat. Would be really interested to know what shocks and spring rates you settled on in the end. Great content on your channel anyway keep it up 👌💯
Thanks so much mate! Appreciate the kind words. The setup to date is 3” coils and 7” shocks (about 13” travel) with hyperflex front arms, superior rear long arms, front hydros, rear rubber bumps all set to suit shock lengths, coil retention all round and extended brake lines 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When i catch up on your videos definitely makes me want to get the shorty back on the road and do some more tracks around Tassie than just the north west
Get her done son! Rip the tools out and get on the big girl 👊🏻
It was starting to give be the shits with the double cardan joint stuffing up in it shorty patrol with 7 inch lift drives awesome just the angle stuffs the joint needs a land Rover 6x6 one in it or all new suspension and dropping to 2 or 3 with the 36s
Sick channel bro just subscribed🤙🏽 good interesting video about your patrol loved it 🤙🏽
Awesome mate thanks for watching 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Awesome video mate. Good to see old footy too 👌
Cheers mate! Old footy? I assume you mean old Tele haha
@@timmyhasheart yeah I guess. I've been watching since the start. Well put together
Yeah I always see you commenting mate much appreciated 🙏🏻
as always mate mint video
Awesome mate thank you 🙏🏻
Shit yeh sick vid! Keeping it real like most of us without the bottomless sponsors budget!
Most of it was yeah! Only recently a few companies have helped out, like superior with hydros and long arms, outback equip with some of the 24v stuff but yeah Id already spent my own money at both of those companies before so it’s gear I’d buy myself I think that’s important!
Cheers for watching mate much appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻
Sick vid bud. Nice to see the normal persons perspective on all things 4WD.
Haha cheers mate, appreciate it thanks for watching 🤙🏻
Loved the back story, awesome to see how you've built it and grown. Can't wait to see more
Awesome mate thank you 🙏🏻 exactly what I wanted to show 🤙🏻

Missing home beautiful tassie . Great video, Timmy.
Haha grass is always greener hey I miss the mainland!! Keen to get back over there!
YES timmy! I am currently going through a similar build path on my 93gq wagon. Fairly unmodified right now and just driving it. Diff clearance is a big thing on these cars ive found, its the only issue ive had so far. Looking at 33s, but if you got 35s under with some cutting i would love to know your recipe. Dont think i would cut it half though, but my roof is 3 corners bog so it may happen.
Haha yeah I just hacked away at the guards, I was pretty noob back then, but there is a lot to be said for changing control arms so that your wheel can be pushed back away from guards and therefore less cutting required but if you’ve got bog in it from rust then get cutting I say 😇
trying to get the wife her licence, at which point we might be getting a little echo from her grandmother. if that happens, what 12 inch grinder do you recommend?
Great story of the evolution with the gq mate👍
Saw you out at Bakers last weekend, any content coming out of that?
Cheers mate! Na that was just going out for a bit of a play mate, testing out the new lockers and that 🤙🏻
Great behaviour Timmy 👌
One tuff asf Gq mate everything evolves over time and trail and error mate 💯 correct..
Credit to you bloke👌😅
Thanks heaps mate appreciate you watching 🔥🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a story 👍🏻🤙🏼👏🏻💪🏻
Haha she’s come a long way! Feels like I’ve had her forever!
Gives me abit of motivation to keep chipping away at mine. The places they can take ya are so worth all the times swearing in ya shed haha
Haha nice mate, that’s the thing I wanted to show - they don’t just get done overnight it’s taken years to get it to where it is 👊🏻
Clearly you’ve got no kids then Timmy lol
Awesome to see where and what’s come of your vehicle Timmy ❤
Haha hell no mate, just 2 Patrols that are probably just as needy 😅 thanks mate appreciate it 👊🏻
Awesome rig mate you have taken your time and done it right and that’s all that matters 🥵👌 I’ve got I10WP as my rego number almost the same as yours 😂
Thanks heaps mate, much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻 oh really haha that’s awesome 🤙🏻
Everyone gets sucked into the elocker hype gets burnt and learns the hard way.
I dunno whether that’s the case at all tbh, no one talked me into doing them or anything, I made the call cause the last ones I tried were air lockers and I liked the idea of only having to run 12v to the diffs, I still love the idea of them, the front one was flawless but yeah without going right into it the rear one let me down a lot, but it’s not because of the typical stuff people whine about, like them disengaging supposedly on direction change and all that BS. Totally different issues. 🤙🏻 cheers for the comment
Sick build bro, been loving the vids. I’m looking to buy a gq td42 to build up as my first proper 4wd. Do u have any advice/what u would’ve done differently from the beginning? Cheers man keep up the vids
Honestly I made a lot of mistakes and did a lot of things wrong additionally to what ended up in this video that I’ve left out, if it’s stayed in the story I think it’s important, a big regret would probably be the E Lockers for one, and another big one is trying to chase power and getting greedy with power. Keep it reliable and enjoy it.
G'day mate, next time you are in Swansea look me up dude, I'd love one of those Kinctome sets, pop in, projects plus here, rock the fuck on
Cheers bro for letting us know how stuff all started I am trying to get my own channel started any tips I'm around the hervey bay area so my content will be all of that to start with . Keep it up I love your channel it's mad and keeps me wanting to do more every week .cheers Shaun
Honestly all you can really do is upload consistent & content people will enjoy & as long as you enjoy it it’ll become a routine. I’d be lying if I said I built this channel myself, I had a big advantage from being mates with Tyler, not only by being lucky to be featured by him on socials but also being able to seek his advice etc.
But yeah best advice I have is that instagram and UA-cam seem to be the most valuable to grow so put equal effort into them. 🙏🏻
@@timmyhasheart thanks heaps I will do my best . It would be great to go for a drive somewhere with you one day I'm keen anytime cheers I will put my whole heart in an see what happens is all I can do ? Thanks for getting back to me. Mad bro
Looking forward to the locker story
Haha I dunno how many more times I can just upload videos of me talking random crap though, might have to leave it a few weeks and do some proper videos, although this took me longer to put together than most other videos cause it’s such a long story and length of time haha.
Make it a sneaky mid week episode 👌
Haha maybe, I do work full time though this one took ages, but I’ll see how much random footage I have in my phone of the whole locker ordeal. Lucky I take a lot of snap chats and videos while I’m doing random jobs.
I just should have sacked up and filmed it but I had a lot going on and 2 patrols with 4 diffs pulled out at once swapping stuff around 😂
Would love to know the story behind the e lockers mate, i have one in my gu zd30 and cant fault it or havent broken it yet. curious you went back to air.
Yeah look a lot of people say the same thing about TD42’s or even the ZD30.. I know people that walk around and say the same thing about both, “my ZD has been great for me” while others have blown up 4 and call them grenades. Some things work for some people, some things don’t.. all I know is when I had ELockers, they nearly never worked, despite troubleshooting, having 12v at the diff, rewiring, rebuilding several times, and airlockers work every time.
I can’t keep just uploading videos of me sitting in front of my car telling stories haha, but maybe in the future at some point I’ll dive into them.
The lockers is a long winded story though, and went on for over a year of me taking the diff out multiple times. Cheers for the comment mate 🙏🏻
I find if you have a spare motor the one in it gets scared and stays good
Hahaha let’s hope so, going strong so far 😂
Timmy, how much lift did you eventually end up with you mentioned 2" but then messed around with it a bit more. Like you I don't want to go crazy but do want to optimise flex. I plan to run 50mm taller front towers and get 125mm travel shocks in and run 100mm travel rears. Its currently at just under 2" and think 3" would be about right. I daily it so it's on 33's atm but will get 35": for trail use at some point.
Hey mate I run 12” travel fronts and 13” travel rears which are superior 7” lift remote res shocks and run 3” coils. All bump stopped to never bottom out shocks. 👍🏻
Great video! I’m looking to get my patrol engineered and wondering who you used and how much it cost? Cheers
Hey mate any details about engineering feel free to reach out on Insta rather than public and cheers mate appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Timmy. Love the videos brother, I’m just about to whack a new pump and turbo on my old girl aswel. I’m tossing up wether to do the turbo head also, what are you thoughts?
Cheers mate
And also thinking injectors too!
I wouldn’t worry about touching the head much less “upgrade to turbo head” they’re not different enough to worry mate, turbo head is a tad less compression, I only did it because my head gasket was gone and I didn’t want to have downtime. For example if I took the head off and it was actually the head that was cracked rather than the head gasket being blown I didn’t want to have to wait for a machine shop to redo the/a head. So I just bought a head and replaced the head and gasket at the same time.
Cheers for the kind words mate 🙏🏻
@@timmyhasheart legend mate, thanks for the info.
I will be buying the same pump you did, did you do injectors? I’m thinking a fresh set of the zexel injectors won’t hurt! Also will probably just go a 16g over the 18. Thoughts? Lol no rush on the reply mate. Thanks
Yeah right, well mine was a UFI200 which was an 11mm at the time, but now I’m pretty sure even their UFI230 pumps are 11mm. They only start 12mm at about 250 I think.. but like that’s just evidence that you don’t need a “12mm pump” just cause it’s the word every one knows.. dead set a UFI230 would be enough to break all the cranks your heart desires.
And yeah I did do new injectors mate, just Zexel ones from Patrolapart which are genuine. Zexel is the manufacturer of genuine fuel components for Nissan. 🤙🏻
@@timmyhasheart ripper, thanks heaps for your info mate, really appreciate it. Will chat to you soon
Can’t believe gq’s used to go for 8k???
Yeah times have changed :( this certainly wasn’t perfect but it was bloooooody clean on the outside for $8k
Hey what wheels do you have please?
Ahh now I have Dirty Life Roadkills, before that they were just dynamic steel rims 👍🏻👍🏻
have you got cromolly axles?
Hey mate, na just factory GU front and rear. Tbh they’re ridiculous after breaking 6 GQ ones, went up a tyre size and still drive as hard and still yet to break one.
@@timmyhasheart that’s awesome man it goes to show how much stronger they are compared to the old ones, my 75 breaks axles everytime I leave my driveway😂
nice man! here in europe the most popular engine swap we do is the BMW m57. Sounds so good and have plenty of power and its bulletproof. Check some videos of m57 swapped patrols. channel TOP OFFROAD ROMANIA has some awesome videos
Yeah mate know all about them, there is a few done here, same with OM606. I don’t really rate the idea of RPM diesels hey, the goal with mine has always been to make as much torque as early as possible, those 3L euros are designed to rev, if I wanted to rev I’d chuck a petrol in haha.
I do understand the appeal, power + fuel eco is never a bad thing, but I’d rather torque all day personally 🤙🏻
Cracker vid mate 👌
Cheers mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Fucking awesome 👌
