Traded the Wagon for a Quartermaster

[DezRoamer]

After owning my Base Grenadier wagon for two years and 20,000 miles using as a daily drive, and general purpose 4X4, I saw the Quartermaster several months ago in person. Took it for a test drive last September and finally made the decision to trade the wagon for Ute.
Many changes will take place over the next month or so to make it a well suited Off Roader, as well as a reliable and comfortable daily.
The first mod I did was swapped the alloys and BFG's with my old steelies and the Toyo OC RT Pro 255/80/17..
As of today I'm beginning to really appreciate the longer WB and the versatility of being back in a Ute after several years of being in a Wagon.

Just wrapped up the Ineos Rack (Rhino Rack) install. MaxTraxs found their place, Also Did the QuarterMaster decal delete.
For such an expensive vehicle I would've thought they could have badged it with something a bit more refined.
I guess it's one of those subjective details, some might like it, I never did.
In the coming weeks more build to come.

This wagon-to-QM swap could suit me very well!!!
Except for turn radius.

If I didn't have a trailer it might suit me well.
Exvept for turn radius!

I'm not 100% certain but the turn radius does seem to be larger than the wagon. I don't know the specs.

I get it. With a trailer a guy would need a lot of room to turn around.

Even without a trailer, tight tracks and Aussie sized carparks would be awkward.
Life's full of compromises!
