GAZ’S HOME BUILT GU
“This truck has been built over six months of blood sweat and tears”,
explains Gaz. “It’s a 2000 Nissan GU Patrol ST with a TD
Conversion. We have been fully Engineered for all our mods and the
vehicle has an Xrox winch bar, Domin8r front and rear winches,
custom made sliders rear winch bar and a four inch snorkel all
made by me. She is sitting on a set of 285/75/R16 Fallen Wildpeak
tyres, and has a 4WD Supacentre roof rack and awning, XTM 9in
LED spotties, black Raptor Liner respray done by me at home
because it is super easy! Series 2 headlights, Series 3 tail-lights,
Kutsnake flares, Titan rear drawers, an Evakool 60L travel mate for
a freezer and an 80L Engel fridge with a homemade fridge slide to
suit. Suspension wise she has a 3in Superior Engineering lift with
Hyperflex coils and 5in Superior Engineering shocks. The rear LSD
has been left as is and it has a front Auto Lokka. The engine has a 3in
exhaust, Mamba 16g turbo running 10psi and a 600x300x76 top
mount intercooler with a custom 4in airbox. We are currently on our
Big Lap headed north. We hit Bribie for six nights then shoot up to
Double Island Point before heading to Cape York! Then we will go do
the Top End, WA, along the South Coastline, Tasmania and finish in
Vic High Country and the Blue Mountains!”

[email protected]JAMES’S BARRA RODEO
“This is my 2003 4WD RA Rodeo that I did a full engine and
transmission conversion on”, explains James. “We fitted in a BA
Falcon turbo Barra engine and auto, while keeping all the 4WD
components, and it’s fully engineered. It sees regular camping duties
with the family and I have owned this vehicle for about 10 months.
Although the conversion was only completed a couple of months ago,
all done at home by myself. It’s the only one in Australia that I know of
so I figured I would put it out there for the world to see!”(^01)
