buying an efi gq patrol - st or rx

Hi
What you have said is correct about the wheel sizes, the 15,s were 7 in wide rim and the 16's were 8 in rim width.
I too have tried to reister on that forum as I have just brought a Pootrol ,no luck either. Sent an email but no reply as yet and this was about 8 days ago now.
From memory you may have got a better grade of sound system and power windows in the ST as well. Could be wrong though.
I doubt it would make much difference these day's as most would possibly have upgraded bit's n piece's.
As the newest GQ is eleven this year I'd be buying either soley based on condition etc.
Regards Alan.

My RX diesel came with 16 x 8 alloy wheels and flares etc and manual hubs. I bought it 2nd hand though so not sure if that is so from the factory.

Have removed the flares and fitted skinny wheels again for off track driving

Thanks for your replies Alan and Willem. Based on what I've read I'm not keen on auto hubs. Mind you, I guess I could just manually lock them, but I'm still unsure whether they're as strong as the manual ones.

I'd prefer 16 inch wheels to reduce the revs slightly when highway touring. I drove an rx yesterday and was surprised that it was doing about 2500 at 100kph in top gear. I'd like to be able to tow my caravan in 4th gear at about 90 kph and not have the engine screaming. I could just fit really tall tyres like yours Willem. Cheers. Rob.

I,ve got a 6/97 GQ auto RX and it came standard with 15 inch steel wheels an auto hubs , and I can say that you will not have an issue with them , leave them in auto setting ,have done thousands of Ks in the dirt and not had a problem .
It also came with power windows .electric mirrors . central locking ,
the only thing it should have had in addittion ,was rear stabilizer release . its just clocked 110,000 ks only a pup
