Big love for the shoutout my man! A 79 scoop and some armour would be the cherry on top of Coal 😍
Keep up the good content mate, love your vids!! Haha yeah I’m scared to attempt it but it would look great! 👌👌
You’ll love that locker, I have the same setup in mine and it goes everywhere with no problems 👌
Tom, I’m a welder.
If you put a piece of brass behind it or something thick to soak up some of the heat you can hit it with the welder from the opposite side and fill the holes then just grind it flush
Thanks mate will keep that in my memory bank!!
raptor repaints pretty good for just small spots. I regullary repaint small parts that get hit while offroading
The lokkas work good put one in mine 2 weeks ago along with a .7 shim and that locked the diff will be going .55 soon but do recommend shimming the rear while your at it
With your barwork look at roll cage joiners. I personally use the ones form Billet race craft in south Australia.
next time you’re driving in the rain, look at how little the droplets move over the bonnet, 79 scoop would be cool, but front mount in these box shaped cars performs far better, just have to keep them clean
-gq owner
top mount doesn't block the radiator but does get more heat soak from the top of the motor so idk if a bigger top mount would be better than a smaller front mount
@@darcykeddell4930 front mounts make no difference to coolant temps if your cooling system is maintained 👍🏼
@@jayarre1839 cough cough, is that your first hand experience or a friend of a friend said that?
@@jasper287 lol first hand experience, had a 600x300x76 mounted for 5 months without being hooked up and made 0 difference to my running temps. top mounts are garbage and a waste of money every day of the week, front mount or nothing.
As for the scrub bar disconnect, I bought tube joiners (or Camburg joiners) from Kinselas Kustoms in NSW. I found Matt good to deal with . Good quality & not over the top with price.
Woohoo front Lockka! I suggest chromoly front Axel's I've snapped factory Axel's on 35s in my GU
I’ve been looking into them! Maybe I’ll have to order them for the rebuild!
You should get some clear view mirrors for coal and some sliders
For your scrub rails if you want them to be able to be taken off use some roll cage joiners/pipe joiners. way stronger than clamps and look much cleaner 👌🏿
Nice save man done well
Another mint episode. The dogs so cute 😂
Love watching these videos man. Gets me keen to do stuff to my bus but upsets me that I can’t
Bruv I was actually like getting the sniffles with that cancer but a little bit of love and will, looks like she will come through.
Nice video mate, rust is never fun to deal with, looks like you did a good job though, keep up the good work.
I run a front mount on my td and egts never go over 350 towing a boat top mount you’ll still get engine heat apparently! Go front mount n still do 79 bonnet just because it looks the goods haha
Sounds like you've got about 10 turns of the fuel screw worth of head room if your egts are that low. Or are you towing a blow up boat?
Happy your posting vids but shattered for you man good luck 🤞🏻
I Raptor do a aerosol can for touch ups which means that you could just spray that area again
I'd recommend a 79 series steel scop and weld it in, coming from someone who just recently made a fibre glass bonnet exactly like shed built.
So keen to see future mods on coal and I so want a pup like Diesel
i cant wait for the lokka install video, COLE WILL BE IN CONTROL OF ALL THE BOGHOLES
What are those rims Called and where did you get them from mate, keen asf to get a set for my gq 🤙🏼
Take the time and paint it properly, put gu diffs under it. Get gu Ute diffs or s1 diffs since they share the same panhards. Superior tie rod ends fit both gq and gu patrols
Sooooo basically any GU coiled diff houseing
@@jasper287 yeah while the front centre is out should put it into a gu housing, better brakes/cvs/wider. Being a 96 it would have 082 steering box which is a gu steering box with a gq pit arm. I’ve done a gu diff swap on the exact same car and was happy with the outcome. Also keep it slick bonnet with a front mount, 79 scoop doesn’t go on everything
@@benwilkinson7181 how much wider? Have you done this? Do you need a gu booster and master?
@@jasper287 40mm wider, and yeah I put a gu brake booster in my gq Ute
Lokka are so under rated
Why are the old seats back in cole?
You’re not going to get 3” more flex, that’s not how suspension geometry works at all, you will get closer to 1.5” more flex and you will infact bottom out the shock limiting uptravel there for limiting down travel further raised lower mounts need raised upper mounts!!!!!
Glad someone’s thinking😂
Ah right, I do understand the geometry is different and I did think about raised uppers but if my bump stops catch the diff before bottoming out is there any point in raising the uppers?
@@RoamLyfe raising uppers is just as important as raising lowers, the difference is how much you raise them, there is no purpose raising them 3” as well you either get longer rear shocks and use something like the buds customs 4” raised mounts and gain extra travel in that way or try to utilise your current shocks with a 1.5-2” (probably custom) raised shock mount, raising the lowers 3” will cause premature bottom out of the shock itself adversely restricting down travel I’ve been there with my front suspension in my gq
love your videos mate keep it up
@Roam Lyfe Did the bogan bus ever ship/scratch?
Good job on the rust repair mate! Definitely a tough spot to do it in!
I'm curious, what camera do you use to film?
Good old raptor coat 😂
are you keeping the xr seats in ? i feel they are way too big for the gq cabs
tip for next time from someone whos worked in smash repair instead of spot welding that piece in and creating a spot to rust use 3m panel bond
Had one of the lockers but changed to air locker when did ratio swap was ok broke the small pins in it but use to work ok bar that
Front mount all the way
Would be sick with barwork wrap around and maybe even shorten up the tray a bit would be mad
I can’t wait to make the bar work!
Are you going to sell your old bullbar when you build a new one?
Go front mount much more air flow
looking good!
Thanks mate!
Bro I need to know where to buy these wheels in aus, can you help?
a finger sander would of shapped it better thats what i use on bits like that,puuting a plate behind and weld through to that or put a copper spoon behind it as the weld wont stick to it.i would of totally patched over that vent too get rid of them and put at the back of the cab like other trucks have vents mounted.
Know how you feel man my old girl started Bubbling in the channel just after resto not a good feeling
Such a shit feeling haha!
Yoooo!! Looking forward to that front end rebuild series. I want to do the same to my GU so that would help greatly!
Front mount is more effective if you do a lot of slow stuff as top mounts get the heat soak, I’d go front mount anyways working on a engine bay with a giant top mount in the way is a shit thing anyways ahahahha
Yeah that’s a great point! Maybe front mount it is!!
You should make it so it has twin snorkels
5:13 "boys and girls" haha can't forget about us girls who watch this.
a mate has a visor on his gq and they look pretty good
Love the GQ mate the colour is mint 👌 how do you rate the raptor? I’m thinking about doing the chassis front and rear diff assembly’s on my new project (Cummins isb gu wagon) btw when are the stacks coming? 😁
Raptor is shit don’t waste your time
so unlucky man, soon the channel will be called Rust Lyfe
Dog box for Diesel would make it look mint
Look out big red here comes coal and the bogan bus 🤙🏽
Wait didn't you out xr6 seats in the old girl?
Are you gonna put a canopy on it
Probly not at this point!
Can easily spray over that bit mate no need to do the cab
Gona be a weapon
Little red here we come 😅
79 scoop should look at a full glass reskin just did it to a gu patrol
Where do you get them from??
I'm still getting a GQ even tho rust kills em
Hates rust but keeps working on patrols. Haha
What happened to the xr seats?
They where to high, so I swapped them back!
@@RoamLyfe gotcha!
I'd suggest cavity wax that side and other side and any hole u can get as u get a spay hose with it
when you make your bull bar you should put your old on the bogan bus
Yeah that would be cool hey!
Yeah would look mint aswell
What’s the paint code
Hi I wish I had a truck like that
79 scoop would be cool
I reckon so!!
Thought raptor was unscratchable...
Sounds like American advertising at it's finest
Repairs was not done right the first time now its twice the work and 3 times the cost.
i’ve heard no good about raptor, if any water our anything gets under that paint it’ll rust from the inside out and u won’t realise
Looks like shit too
You Should Paint Your Rims Gold
It Will Look Sick
Yeah I’m having a bad day with my hilux
Speedo and it’s a electric one so it’s a lot harder to fix
you will one day realise cars will never be perfect
@@jayacord7169 I know
Going full eshay on diesel
Hahaha 😂😂
Hectic
Trade it where it is
raptor scratches easy cause its shit, doesn't matter how much you put on
Can’t go past nice paint
Them auto Lokkas are shit when ya around town it lock in and ya steering gets real heavy
only of you have all time 4wds if you have 2wd and unlock front at the hub selectors shouldn't get any issues since front remains open.
All the cool cars are not in the states. Damn chicken tax
Recab it bro
That’s in a c**t of a spot
Yewwh coal
cancer Cured.
That’s would suck
dont do a 79 scoop they look shit
Ayy first!
Нет, не первый.
Second
Them auto Lokkas are shit when ya around town it lock in and ya steering gets real heavy and search up roll cage joiner for ya clamps to remove scrub bars
Why are you driving around town in 4wd 😂
