ADVENTURE 4X4 ROCKINGHAM
GRAHAM CAHILL CAR BUILDS
Graham Cahill’s GU Patrol
Graham’s GU has been a regular vehicle here at Adventure 4×4.
From fitting multiple accessories, to servicing, rebuilding and putting back together, this GU has become apart of the family. Our favorite addition to this vehicle is the James Baroud Discovery in which we fitted to Graham’s pre-existing roof rack.
The roof rack we modified and re powder coated to suit the new addition, as well as being the first in WA to fix a hard mounted solar panel to the outer shell of the roof top tent. We have been awfully proud of being apart of the build with this GU.
Recently, the GU went in for a full body respray and rust removal.
This required the big girl to be stripped and ready to be handed over the RUSTWORX in Myaree to complete the job. The bull bar, side rails and steps, spot lights and light bars, all UHF and mobile antenna’s were all removed from the vehicle. Whilst the bar work was off, we re powder coated the bar work just so it matched the new paint job the GU received.
And we’re certainly glad we did… at this point, the GU is looking FRESH!
Once Graham returns, we will be sure to get an updated photo of the GU’s fresh look! We doubt it will last as clean as above for too long.
Enjoy Graham!
Graham Cahill’s SHORTY GQ
I’m sure this vehicle needs no introduction…
It’s not every day a 4wd store has the privilege to work on one of Australia’s most recognised 4wds!
‘SHORTY’ has not had the extent of work done as the GU being the iconic looking vehicle it is. But more so of a servicing, repairing and securely storing side of things we conduct on the old girl. We have however had the opportunity to install something special on this vehicle that we had also installed on the GU. It was something we thought was a must have for Graham, and there were no hesitation in installing it into the GQ after experiencing it in the GU.
Old Man Emu BP-51 Bypass Shock Absorber’s and Coils
As you could imagine… Removing the ‘RAW’ branded suspension from the vehicle was a task in itself. Being in the vehicle for more years than one can count, had mud, dirt and gunk from every corner of Australia and more rusted bolts than the Titanic, it was difficult to say the least.
But all worth it for the complete change in how the vehicle with drive and perform on and off road!
Whilst installing the BP51’s we also added and replaced SHORTY’s steering damper, and also installed a set of the Airbag Man heavy duty airbags with the Kevlar sleeve. This will assist in the around the home duties Graham conducts with the fetching and carting of jarrah for the fire at home and any other duties SHORTY might be slaved for.
Graham’s rear sway bar was hanging on for dear life and about as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike. So we reconnected and upgraded his sway bar links to the heavy duty Roadsafe links.
Graham visit’s Adventure 4x4 again…
On Monday the 28th of February 2022 Graham visited Adventure 4x4 again, this time not for any upgrades to his vehicles. Watch this space closely… [video coming end of March]
