Recently, I went on a 4WD trip to Tasmania's West Coast to take on tracks like Lake Cumberland, Climies, Pieman Heads, Sandy Cape, Balfour & $1000 Track & in the process I caused a lot of wear, tear & damage to my GQ Patrol. We have a huge list of jobs to get through including replacing the gearbox, doing the swivel hubs, swapping the wheel bearings, replacing all of the brakes, giving the vehicle a full service, fixing the glow plug system as well as doing a few upgrades to the Warn 8274 High Mount Winch. Let's get this car back up to an acceptable standard.
