Great work Tom! Im keen to see how the grill looks now with the new scoop. You are right about the best part of a 79 series. This build is going to be epic when your done! Hopefully you can find your way to a barra or ls to make this a real monster!

Valiant effort, you've outdone me, I've always said I had the best bit of a cruiser attached to my Series 5 GU, I took the rear step from our old 76 wagon and turned it to a step on my GU as we're both short arses and needed a step up to our GU rear storage system. It gets a lot of comments, I take pride in saying I took the best of our 76 and added it to our Patrol, haha the shitty rear step twas the best bit of a 76. I'm yet to get a Colorado scope for our GU, same as you did previously. Seen plenty in vehicles parked up, temptation, nah - hell yeah. Currently in Darwin avoiding winter down home, try wreckers here for one.

Hey roam, absolutely loving the build so far, the work you are able to do with the little time and equipment you have is very inspiring! A little tip with applying silicone is to get brake cleaner or soapy water and put that on your finger before shaping the silicone and it’ll give it a much nicer finish!

Just a tip with sikaflex, I work with the shit daily. Best thing to do to stop it sticking is glass cleaner, windex or home brand makes no difference. Once you’ve applied it and you’re happy with the general location and just want to smooth it out/clean it up, spray the absolute shit out of it with glass cleaner, and do the same with your glove. It will allow you to manipulate it mess free so long as there is always glass cleaner inbetween your glove and the sikaflex. It takes a bit of practice to get right but I promise you it works better than anything and you won’t regret learning how to do it.

They are probably just doing work on the power lines and need flat ground for machinery to drive up so they will open it once they have finished everything, when they're done the track will be molested within a year by guys that freshly dynoed their 3L diesel and are ready to hold accelerator down to the floor thinking it'll give them traction to get up the slope. It will look like the same old red just deeper by the time everyone is finished with it, you will just have a flat ground to 4wd on for awhile. Have fun with it, make sure to leave a track for everyday aussies that isn't fucked up though. Families should be able to go bush and camp freely without having to go through 100m deep ruts and 90 degree slopes, every national park in aus is becoming like that

Valiant effort, you've outdone me, I've always said I had the best bit of a cruiser attached to my Series 5 GU, I took the rear step from our old 76 wagon and turned it to a step on my GU as we're both short arses and needed a step up to our GU rear storage system. It gets a lot of comments, I take pride in saying I took the best of our 76 and added it to our Patrol, haha the shitty rear step twas the best bit of a 76. I'm yet to get a Colorado scope for our GU, same as you did previously. Seen plenty in vehicles parked up, temptation, nah - hell yeah. Currently in Darwin avoiding winter down home, try wreckers here for one.
