GU Patrol

Trig Point purchased the GU back in 2020 and we were keen to build a tourer suitable for a couple and our dog, that could not only tackle the hardest tracks but was also comfortable to live with every day. With a pipeline of products in development, we needed a vehicle that was tough enough to give these new products a thorough workout.

THE CONVERSION

The first step of this build was to carefully convert the GU from a 7 seat wagon to a 2 seat extra cab ute to enable us to fit a Hilux canopy. Whilst this was a custom conversion by Tinman Fabrications, the canopy parts are a mix of off the shelf components from other models.

THE CANOPY

Trig 48’s canopy layout is one of our most popular set ups, featuring:

  • Trig Point’s unique kitchen
  • Trundle drawer
  • 50L water tank
  • Rear wall fitted with spare tyre carrier and ladder
  • Bushman 84L upright fridge
  • 12V set up with Invicta 200Ah battery, Redarc 50amp charger and 2000 watt inverter
  • ARB compressor mounted in toolbox
  • On the roof we have run a few different awning and roof top tent set ups

ACCESSORIES AND MODIFICATIONS

The remainder of the vehicle had to be fitted out to match the quality of the canopy:

  • Fit and finish – Conversion by Tinman Fabrication, Paintwork Trig Point in Mazda 3 layer Soul Red
  • Suspension – ARB BP51s, PSR Radius Arms, Superior Rear Control Arms, Bomb Proof Alloy tie rod and drag link
  • Bar work – ARB Delux bar modified to suit the Warn high mount winch, SCF Rocksliders
  • Diff and gears – Marks 4WD 44% reduction gears fitted to the transfer case, diffs upgraded with PSR bracing kits, 4.1 gears and airlockers
  • Long Range Fuel Tank
  • Fats Fab Snorkel
  • Proseat GTS seats
The most fun car I have ever owned! Trig 48 has never put a foot wrong. With our family growing, we needed a 4 door ute, but fortunately it has gone to a great new home with Stedi lights. You will be seeing a lot more of it on their trips in the future.
