GQ Chop 4 - GUARD CHOP to fit BIG TYRES & TRAY MOUNTS 

Neither can I! Sad to have it cooped up in a shed!

Cheers dude 👌🏻👌🏻 I’m just glad it’s over aha

Yeah fuck oath he does, cheers mate 👌🏻👌🏻

That’s awesome mate cheers 👌🏻

More than I first thought too to be honest haha, but that’s alright, It’s a mission to get her back no matter what now 🥹

@@timmyhasheart I feel you there man, this weekend I rip into mine and start to make it look a bit more presentable 😅

Haven’t decided on a colour yet 😅

Thanks heaps dude, had a few stressful weekends and didn’t pull the camera out much but I’ll keep trying to as much as I can

Yeah but I’d have to source an uncut guard, or try to patch the entire surface of one, plus buy a whole new snorkel, plus rearrange a bunch of shit under the bonnet, so just wasn’t something I was prepared to do for something that is purely aesthetic, I have a staino, it sucks, it’s sealed, she’ll do 🙏🏻

@@timmyhasheart yeah i get it, would look tuff AF thou, not that its not now lol

Yeah for sure, I haven’t seen theirs but I am aware of the system and the geometry involved! Yeah I’ll get it on the road first, tbh it drops superiors longest shocks to the bottom so I’m not crazy focused on changing much of the sus any time soon I just want it on the road haha.

@@timmyhasheart Yeah I'm sure your aware a good working rear end isn't about shock travel. There is pinion angle change, anti squat and more importantly how much it changes throughout travel, rear steer and roll axis or you could say 'stiffness' and no sideways panhard movement. Personally I have never wheeled the sorta tracks you have but would love to see your thoughts on how a proper setup 4 link would transform the car both on and offroad.

I’ve seen 4 links work, I haven’t seen a good one work, I also haven’t seen any work to the degree that I’d pause getting this on the road to add extra complications, when patrols, particularly a well setup one already outflexes most cars on the market, the pinion angle honestly isn’t affected too much between them, you have a bit more anti dive properties but that’s more about the arms just being longer and arm separation, it’s more so rear steer that I find a good quality, but again, that’s just an arm length thing.. I’ve experienced rear steer frustrations once in my time wheeling and that was trying to straddle a rut, the rear was flexed out and so it wouldn’t follow my front, it would drive into the rut, but that’s about it.. it all works I’m happy, just want the car back and legal for now, will add complications later if needs be.. In Australia it seems a common theme to just do things cause they heard it’s what you should do.. from silvertop TDs, to GU diffs, to beadlocks, to triangulated 4 links, to solid axle swaps.. just drive the car and if something bugs you enough maybe look at adjusting it.. suspension has never been a concern of mine, the ride is comfy, the wheels drop below the sills, and it’s stable so I wouldn’t change it yet, hell I had to break 5 CVS in the span of 3 months before I even bothered to go to GU diffs.. drove on 35’s and 37’s for years until I decided it would be safer to run reductions.. I wait until things are a dead set problem and make a call only from experience 👌🏻👌🏻

Was a hard slog mate that’s for sure glad it’s over. 🥵

Uno it 👊🏻🔥❤️

That’s alright, all good fourbies have pinstripes ;)

Hahaha dog flew off 😅

Yeah I installed 63% in mine and my mates and I could nearly say they’re not quite slow enough for truly nasty rock crawling and descents however if I went any lower I’d be using 5th low on some bogholes, hills and dunes so if you do a lot of diverse wheeling then 63% I’d go. In $1000 track I was doing hills and bogholes in 3rd and 4th, dunes I do in 3rd and 4th and climbs where you need a bump is 2nd and then suuuuper slow and tech is 1st.

@@timmyhasheart ok cheers for the info mate, I did think about the 85's but once again was just to scared of being to low. Looking forward to the installation video as I'll be doing it to my GU transfer case very soon.

🙏🙏

Thanks heaps mate!! Coming along slowly!
