Hi mate the new shocks looks unreal 👌🏻 it's a bummer that you are in a lock down again 🤬 hope it is not lasting too long!!! Which you all the best bro! Cheers mate 🍻
I’m not sure if you can for these, I know you can for the 2.0. I’ve never ran them though, can potentially hold all the dirt and sand inside and damage the shaft. But there’s pros and cons to both
They say no because they fill with mud but i made some out of moto fork boots and left the lower open ..my first superior failure was a rear that spat a seal due to little sharp chips on the shaft from gravel roads.
Interestingly though all you do is smooth the shaft down with an oil sharpening stone and put a new seal in oil and nitrogen . The remaing tiny divits from chips dont have any affect.. but obviously far better to cover them in the first place
I’m engineering my GQ at the moment as well mate. Braced front and rear GU diffs, braced front and rear coil towers and hydraulic brake booster. 3.5t gvm
Awesome vid as usual Dan! Whereabouts are you guys getting engineering done? I have Gu in Melbourne that needs the same treatment. 4inch 35z and 3.5 would be great to keep. Cheers
Hey mate, they are 4 inch lift shock. Coming from a 5 inch 2.0. I lost about 30mm of down travel which I’m not worried about but kept pretty much the same up travel which is what I wanted
Would be really hard to do the top mounts without lifting the cab up to get in there, fuel tank out, diff out and lift the cab up. Too hard basket haha.
@@DanielKistler no worries. looking forward to the feedback mate. Who’s doing the engineering for the roof sliders? - tempted to get them done on my GU.
@@Chasing_Back_Roads I’ll be sure to give some feedback in a video! S&m engineering are doing the car. You can just engineering a single part of the car, the whole car has to be done.
I thought you were installing a fork lift diff. cherishe said he was going to help you put it in? 🏌🏼♀️.. nice 👍 shocks tho. BIG! I run high speed low speed Ohlins . 🏴☠️🛠
Hey Daniel, When you run out of things to do on the GQ (i know its a GQ so will never not need fixing. haha) you should take the microlight out for a fly hahah
Looking good man, I'm planning in putting GU diffs under my wagon soon so just wondering how much of a GVM upgrade you are getting and what you have to get done for it.
Thanks mate. Mines going to 3.3 tonne. I’ve still got to do a little bit more stuff but best thing to do is speak to an engineer and have them guide you through the process.
@@DanielKistler it’s a GQ GU thing. :) I got the OME BP51 shocks. Adjustable like the superiors. Work very well 👍🏼 I reckon the superior sway bar will be mint for you. Longer arms on it so less leverage to rip the mounts out.
@@vincem5 pretty much haha. Mines pretty good considering the amount of stuff it has on it. I’ve gone off the superior sway bar for 2 reasons - they were like $550ish last time I looked from memory and now they are over $700 - the longer length arms. I couldn’t care less about flex, I just want it to handle good with maximum up travel haha!
@@DanielKistler you sure have bud , just need to re-watch your vids , alot of information for a small brain lol , cheers mate , love the channel , keep the good stuff coming , have learnt alot from your content 👍
@@reecev1511 haha it’s all apart of it. More than happy to help you with anything though. Flick me a message on Instagram or Facebook if you want to know anything! Thanks for watching
@@DanielKistler Thanks mate. Are you happy with them so far? The engineer I've been working with has been super difficult to communicate with, looking for someone else in Melbourne.

Love the thursday upload 🤟
Cheers mate
awesome shocks Daniel, the limit strap is brilliant , stay sane in the lock down. Cheers Rolly
Thanks mate! Same to you! Cheers
Got to love 4bys, drive,
It break it, fix it. drive it and it’s broken again 😂😂😂😂 great video mate 👌👌
Hahaha it’s a vicious cycle, fun though! Cheers mate
Keep it up mate love watching your vids has got me keen for a high country trip
You and I both mate! Cheers
New shocks look sick
They look awesome. Keen to see how they go!
Hi mate the new shocks looks unreal 👌🏻 it's a bummer that you are in a lock down again 🤬 hope it is not lasting too long!!!
Which you all the best bro!
Cheers mate 🍻
Thanks mate, hopefully the lockdown ends soon so we can get out and go for a spin! Cheers 🍻
Good educational video
Bit off topic, what radius arms and dropboxes have you got in the wagon?
Thanks mate. Both cars have racebred hybrid arms
Looking good , can you get dust boot/covers for the shocks or does having them create more problems then they solve?
I’m not sure if you can for these, I know you can for the 2.0. I’ve never ran them though, can potentially hold all the dirt and sand inside and damage the shaft. But there’s pros and cons to both

nice mate you might have that shock by the time we get out of lockdown
I’ll put an update in one of the future videos but it’s not looking good haha.

Sounds about the same as me mate! 👌🏻👌🏻
@@DanielKistler among a bunch of other things. I was gonna run the gauntlet, but it’s not worth it anymore. Making it as legal as possible.
Exactly right mate. That’s why I’m doing it to, get it over and done with now because it’s only going to get harder and harder
Awesome vid as usual Dan! Whereabouts are you guys getting engineering done?
I have Gu in Melbourne that needs the same treatment. 4inch 35z and 3.5 would be great to keep. Cheers
@@hynes84 thanks mate. Mines going to s&m engineering. You won’t be able to get the 35s or 4 inch lift done though! Cheers
What length rear shocks did you go mate? I’m setting up gu atm got 4 inch springs and superior 5 inch 2.5 shocks cheers!
Hey mate, they are 4 inch lift shock. Coming from a 5 inch 2.0. I lost about 30mm of down travel which I’m not worried about but kept pretty much the same up travel which is what I wanted
Whats the 1hdft sitting in the background near the door going into 🤔 great vids mate always a hungover sunday watcher or a quiet friday night
That’s my brothers, it’s going in that red 80 series. Hopefully I’ll be doing videos of it! Thanks for watching mate
@@DanielKistler ah yeah pearla looking forward to seeing them!
Have to tell us what you think of the new rear shocks Dan 👍
I’ll be sure to add it in to one of the future videos mate. Haven’t driven the car yet haha
What’s the reason you didn’t put triple bypasses in the rear also?
Would be really hard to do the top mounts without lifting the cab up to get in there, fuel tank out, diff out and lift the cab up. Too hard basket haha.
@@DanielKistler makes sense! Cheers
New vid. Bloody mint. You rate the Superior 2.5s worth going over the 2.0s?
Thanks mate. There’s a massive difference between them, Havnt driven the car yet but they look mint and feel nice out of the car
@@DanielKistler no worries. looking forward to the feedback mate. Who’s doing the engineering for the roof sliders? - tempted to get them done on my GU.

@@DanielKistler thanks. Rightio, I’ll check them out I wouldn’t mind getting the 3in lift n 33s or 35s engineered anyway.
@@Chasing_Back_Roads no worries mate! See how you go!
I thought you were installing a fork lift diff. cherishe said he was going to help you put it in? 🏌🏼♀️.. nice 👍 shocks tho. BIG! I run high speed low speed Ohlins . 🏴☠️🛠
It’s a heavy bit of gear haha! I’m looking forward to testing the shocks out
Mate that rear diff is now bulletproof 🤘
Did you buy or make the brace?
Sick shed video 👌
Hope so haha. I brought it mate! Thanks for watching
Hey Daniel, When you run out of things to do on the GQ (i know its a GQ so will never not need fixing. haha) you should take the microlight out for a fly hahah
Haha it feels that way mate. It’s dads microlight, hasn’t been out for a little while but he has been talking about it.
@@DanielKistler every time i watch a video i look at it and think shit yeah that would be cool.
Haha yeah it is pretty fun!

@@DanielKistler gees im 3.3 ton with full tanks and camping gear. too much bar work lol
@@vincem5 far out haha Mines about 2.7/2.8 empty. Around 3.3/3.4 fully loaded.

So when do I bring my gu over , to sort the terrible effort I had with the suspension setup
Haha surly I’ve given out enough info for you to have another crack!

i like the grease gun. fitter by trade?
It’s awesome! Actually a chippy by trade haha! Operate machinery now
Hey mate who is the engineer doing your gvm upgrade?
Hey mate s&m engineering are doing it
@@DanielKistler Hey Dan, what are you getting it upped to?
@@Sethjxl hey mate it goes to 3.3 tonne
@@DanielKistler Thanks mate. Are you happy with them so far? The engineer I've been working with has been super difficult to communicate with, looking for someone else in Melbourne.
@@Sethjxl yeah they have been great. It’s been an on going process for a long time now because I still had so much to do but no complaints about them.
New videos yewww👌👌👍
Every Thursday. Hopefully haha
@@DanielKistler do you have any pictures of the gq from when you first got it that you could put in the next video
Just to see what it has come from
@@beauspicer5274 I do actually haha! I’ll put it in an upcoming video somewhere.
@@DanielKistler 👍👍
