This Was NOT EASY...GQ Ute Build Gets SPICY

[@simonburnby]

The effort and skill your putting into this is amazing , almost be sad to see it scrubbed against some trees …..almost

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, I’ve gone to far already, going to be crying when it gets its first dint, hopefully never hahaha

[@darrenc4096]

Top shelf content Daniel. I love the effort, ideas and workmanship your putting into this build mate. Thanks so much for taking us along. 👍🍺

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate, it’s already going overboard 🤣. Cheers

[@HarpersShed]

I would most certainly be interested in purchasing a set of chassis plates when they become available. Very well thought out and with all the cutouts for welding to make for a smooth line once finished is bloody fantastic

[@DanielKistler]

Keep an eye out in a video or instagram for when the website is up and running and these will be listed! Cheers

[@HarpersShed]

@@DanielKistler thanks for the heads up I will be sure to keep an eye out.

Sick video, can't wait to see a bonnet entry snorkel.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate. Not sure what I’m doing with the snorkel yet

[@geoffbroadbent7491]

Coming together nicely Daniel, keep up the great work!

Thanks for watching mate

Tough looking truck. Can't be this unit for strength and capability! Gotta love the plasma table too.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, it’s coming along nicely, making good use of the table haha

[@Smiffbuilt]

Another ripper vid mate. Coming together nicely. Well done

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate

[@MitchellConstance]

Awesome work mate, so good to see your fab work. Might need to throw a cover over the Skyline 😊

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate. I definitely need to cover it up haha

[@adamallen8863]

This is awesome craftsmanship

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

Looks great mate. Very nice indeed. I'm looking forward to seeing it all done

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate, that makes 2 of us haha cheers

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@DanielKistler No worries and Yes I'd imagine so

[@hynes84]

Coming along nicely Dan, awesome work!!👌🏻

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate

[@scottdonna2690]

one way power diode from jaycar in the feed line from reverse lights then just a normal switch to override as camp light etc without it back feeding to reverse lovin the bar work

[@DanielKistler]

That’s a good idea, might do that! Cheers mate

[@MitchellMcCulloch]

Unreal good stuff things gonna be a weapon! Learning heaps from your vids cheers

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate, I try and put some good info into the videos! Cheers

Thanks mate 👌🏻

Looking good.

[@NKENNY-vw5bk]

I know you don’t want to mount the lights too low But if you can do a bracket off the Rock sliders (I assume you will be making) more towards the rear of the cab under the Sill ( Obviously higher than what will slide on ground/Rocks ) they still light up quite a lot of the Ground and your surroundings which will give you good vision, Had 4 little bar spot lights on the inside of all 4 wheels and lit up everything. If you’re chasing vision of everything around your next possibility could be tucked under the front of tray spotting straight outwards (Assuming you aren’t running any front toolboxes 👍🏼

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate, not a bad idea. I’ve got a couple ideas up my sleeve so I’ll see what comes of it. Not sure what’s going on with the tray yet but I’ll work out some good light spots!

[@phs84]

Nice one mate Good work!

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate

[@timmyhasheart]

Absolute tops man 🙏🏻 be stoked to see the back end to successful use of that DOM haha

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks Timmy, it’s certainly not as easy as nb tube to work with haha

[@timmyhasheart]

@@DanielKistler done bloody awesome homie looks unreal 👊🏻👊🏻

[@jasonchitts377]

Great vid again mate. Love the build vids. Do you need engineering for weld on diff bracing and rear coil towers in Victoria ? Thanks cant wait to see next part .

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, everything needs engineering in vic, the rules are terrible haha

[@NoMatureContent]

Cheers for the code, got $100 of some shocks.

[@DanielKistler]

$100 is definitely better in your pocket! Cheers

[@NoMatureContent]

@@DanielKistler I'll pinch it again for some tyres next, another $100 save (Basically free freight!)

[@byrontownsend5742]

Great stuff!

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate

[@cllarrence]

Hi, I just bought a GU ute and it has the same rippling on the chassis above the rear diff as your GQ ute, not sure if my chassis is bent or if it's factory. Cool build, love the channel.

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate, that’s normal it’s been On every patrol I’ve ever looked at. Thanks for watching

[@stubbiecap]

I've had ebay single 10w led work lights on a dog cage...decent amount of light and only like 30mm square would fit between your headboard tubes at the top radius....not sure if stedi do a single 10w.

[@DanielKistler]

Not a bad idea actually, will see if I can find Something. Cheers mate

[@Nissankingcabute]

Good content, thanks 🙏 but not sure on the MUSIC BRO its so loud I need to turn me tv up n down like a bloody yoyo… your onto a good rig. Thanks again

[@DanielKistler]

🤣 sorry mate, i edit with headphones on so comes across differently haha I’ll work on it though. Cheers

[@MohamedAlmisnad]

I saw that you have deleted the distributor on your white patrol and have converted to coil packs. If you dont mind telling me how did you do the conversion and the products you have used

[@DanielKistler]

Just need an ecu that supports direct fire ignition, and wire in the coils and get some leads made. I use a Haltech.

[@edbelt9155]

looking good. what diameter dimple die did you use

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, think it was inch and a half.

[@ddiemonyoutube1055]

So if your out in wesburn I will be able to see you from woori yallock or probably the city 😂 Fucken mad how much lights you just pulled out and was awesome too meet you at Melbourne 4x4 show mate ledgend gonna be a fkn tough gq

[@DanielKistler]

Hahaha yeah I’d say so 🤣. Was good to catch up with everyone there. Fingers crossed I can get this Ute at the show next year.

[@dylansmith7023]

@ Daniel what kind of fuel consumption are you get out of you turbocharged tb42 wagon and or race ute

[@DanielKistler]

Around 20-22 per hundred on a high country trip mate

[@Paddy55555]

What the benefit of cab mounted sliders vs exo around the cab? Closeness of fitment or stronger?

[@DanielKistler]

From my perspective it looks better on the cab, probably a little stronger having more mounting points on the cab too.

[@deancampaign1829]

That looks awesome but welding everything up will it make the whole car rigid? Potentially crack the cab?. Either way it looks so good and making me want to start welding shit on mine 😂

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, yeah that’s what will end up happening, stiffen it all up. Should be okay with the bush in the end. Cheers

[@deancampaign1829]

@@DanielKistler keep it up mate your doing a great job

[@michaeldc7183]

m8 is there any chance blowing the seals of the steering box because of faulty steering pumps? btw just running the GQ pump and box with 35s

[@DanielKistler]

I’m not really sure, not something I’ve ever seen before really.

[@MrRalphBraun]

will you be using matt black paint on the hood?

[@DanielKistler]

Nah I’m going to see how it goes, worst case I’ll put a plate under the light bar to shadow the bonnet

[@harvey6740]

Bro it looks mental but since you've had the plasma cutter everything has been so over engineered 😂

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, haha well when it’s so easy to add details it becomes a bit of fun 🤣
