Good work bloke - I see the vic plates and hope to see you out in the bush sometime....


then perhaps my mate might get some motivation to give his MQ some love

[grimbo]

I reckon more of pic five and drop an inch from the body lift. Angle grinders are your friend ;D

Nice to see a MQ LWB buildup

[Twisty]

Thats a beast!!! Cool truck!

Wow, a MQ that isn't dragging its guts along the ground....different...... :P

that looks pretty good 8) i'll have to do the jigsaw job on mine to fit 33's on it

[Twisty]

OMG, thats a classic....is there any sort of suspension on it, or are the diffs just welded on??

[Searsy]

That's just what i was thinking. What's the suspension on it? Don't get it?

[slowlux]

It really doesn't look like theres and suspension on it :o

Like the axles just been welded on

[Barnsey]

Sorry BTNed, I've hijacked your thread. I've day dreamed about building up an old MQ LWB and I reckon they are a great basis for a project. The problem is finding one without any rust. My first MQ looked immaculate from the outside, but had hidden nasties in the sub frame, radiator supports, floor, etc.

Apart from that, these old trucks are just begging for mods, I reckon.

looks like theres a cantelever system linking the axle to a coil spring that's mounted right up in the body work...

EDIT: pics on OL confirm!
pretty cool system really...

[smac]

looks good man. im hoping to get an MQ LWB probably later this year, wont be moded that much though :o
awesome stuff man

i love the front of the MQs, especially with big tires on em

[Screwy_screwball]

looks good mate, keep up the good work,
any other big mods planned ;D

[350rangie]
