Look awesome, I reckon just taper in the tube ends into the roof, will tie it in and make it look more factory. Mount the light bar to a roof rack because you’re just going to be playing with more rust in the future (drilling holes etc)
9:30 I know harry felt that burn on his head 🤣🤣 the amount of times I’ve had that happen to me. You’ll only know the feeling once it’s happened to you, not something you can easily explain 🤣
Love watching all the rust content. Not the biggest fan of the rear but it was definitely the only option. Maybe a hoop to connect the sides and rear and use as a roof rack or reverse light/rear awning mount?
Shoosh looking the goods, can't wait to see what you fellas come up with for the bbus hopefully something we haven't seen someone do bwfore with these kinda generic gq's in aus haha
4:33 copper on the back side! 1. no burning through, as copper will take away the heat 2. you cannot burn MAG steel to copper 3. you end up with a nice flat welding spot.
Good job lads. I think it will look awesome when it’s finished 👍🏽 Lucky you guys have a bit of length on yas or other wise it would have been a bit funny watching you put the roof back on 😝
Fill between the inner and outer roof skin with cavity wax, that goes a really long way to prevent corrosion from starting on the inside. Also use proper automotive grade seam sealer (polyurethane) not bathroom/roof silicone.
I would of thought you would of gone and chopped off a other GQ roof and stitch it on Harry GQ . But this time how you welded it on you weld it through the pillars if you understand what I’m meaning
Cab swap would have been much easier! You should have used weld through primer and cavity wax. Seam sealer is designed to be used on the mating faces of the panels then spot welded through. Also silicone and paint should never go together! And why not get some bends fabbed up to join the rear door and side sill instead of capping?
Dude get out of my head. First the 4jj1 gq from DCA, then cutting the roof off to fix the rust and replacing the gutters with tube. At least now i dont have to think too hard about how to do it. I was going to run tube down the B and C pillars and bolted to sliders and then rear corners were going to have similar things but bent in a way to protect the whole corner. Then running flat bar or square tube across the top of the roof. Reinforced roof racks. Light bar and solar panel up front, fuel to the rear. The rear tube, are you going to join it with the side tubing? Would look cleaner, especially if youre doing the front.
I reckon you need to add some curves on the rear corners and join the sides to the rear👌🏼
I agree 100%
ooft that would look sick!
Fair play - made a big and daunting job look easy! Hopefully the rust is gone for good! The Bogan Bus lives on!

Could you not bend some tube and join the sides and rear bars?

Love it. Good work lads. Cheers
Damn, that's some serious commitment. Long live the Bogan Bus!
Tight 90 or a 45 degree went to finish off the tube would look way better I reckon , would make the pipe look likes it’s running back into the cab

Nice work boys, great content as always.. reminds me of old Coal 😢😢

wow! very cool ! big job ! 🛻🤙😎📹
Can’t wait to see it painted ❤
😁❤️
Isn't silicone a big no-no when it comes to painting? & couldn't you both put a piece between the sliders to join them
Good job boys looking the goods👌
I need to do something similar on my shorty was good to see
with the roof sliders I've heard spraying cavity wax helps prevent the inside from rusting
That ACTUALLY looks mint🤘🇦🇺🍻🔥
Turned out not bad hey!!
Good job lads.

You have to save the bogan bus
Think we got it, well I hope anyway 😆
If your ever going to do this again I'll recommend 10mm or 20mm belt sander less heat then a grinder and more accurate
Looks great but i would Salami cut the end of the pipe and cap it to finish it off far nicer
I would of thought you would of gone and chopped off a other GQ roof and stitch it on Harry GQ . But this time how you welded it on you weld it through the pillars if you understand what I’m meaning
huge job! looks the goods but boys
Was hectic 😅😅 least it’s done for a while now! And way stronger hey
Holesaw some disc's out for the rails and weld them in
Yeah might do that hey!! Much better than a cap! Haha
Be sick if the tube continued right round
too good
Thanks legend!!

The rack on mine fucked the whole show up trapping moister cus it run down the gutter full length
Do a gu cab swap
Idk why bother with the tube at all. Delete sills all together so it can’t hold water 🤷♂️
First comment…. Need a trophy 🎉
Yeah boii
Nice, that roof ain't going anywhere

Oh not grammy's quilt
If it was my car I would cut the pipe in half then weld it on just stops water siting on top
Love it I would of done a safari roof swap.
Is it just me or is this a little dramatic never seen this done and the amount of gqs and gus that have rust in gutters is ridiculous
Not worth saving
this isn’t a weird video at all.. these kind of last minute video ideas are always mint 🤌🏽
