my first 4x4

Well g’day folks...

Just picked myself up my first 4x4 after my last car was written off

Long story short I've gone from 2004 ford territory to this rig and so far i'm happy as a pig in poo with it!

I usually go away every year as often possible to places such as Cobram, Rocklands reservoir and Lake Tooliorook etc with my dad and his mates who have been doing this sort of stuff for as long as i can remember and now I decided it’s about time I get my first 4x4 and so here I am...

Details are :
2004 Nissan patrol st gu s3
3lt intercooled turbo diesel
243xxxkms
5 speed manual
dual batteries
touchscreen head unit with reverse camera/Bluetooth/gps/dvd player etc...
side steps
bull bar
7 seats
tinted windows

Keen to do stuff to it as soon as I finish paying off what's left of my loan but so far I have added a 12" stedi light bar

Pictures to follow asap...

Thanks for having me aboard and a big cheers from me and mine to you and yours...

Nice looking troll mate well done

Nice Patrol mate. FYI. Dont ever use that loop on the back bumper step for any sort of recovery. Unbolt it and look at the other side of it and you will see why. Just saying as I see a Bow shackle on it.

Top rig mate! I remember how exciting the first 4by feeling is!

Have a read here please mate. We were all new to 4x4ing at some stage and we've all learnt lessons along the way.

Very important info for you to know.

wow... $750 per side is a bit more expensive than I thought..
still want them done though :D

well it's been a while since I posted and not much has been going on...

got a question though :

how much would it cost usually to replace front diff support bushes on my car??
and can anyone please recommend a good mechanic in geelong..

Attachment 75912

gave them a clean

Attachment 75913

got a massive wish list to do but i'll get there eventually..
next I want to do nads kit

Attachment 75959

so I got these the other day going to fit them tomorrow pending the weather

soon enough im getting a new roof cage and light bar to. I already have the awning to go on

G'day Mate...I got the emu wings for my GQ...easy enough to do yourself...delivered to your door with everything you need included...except the clamps to hold the frame when the glue is drying. Hell of a lot easier to get into those pesky side stored bits n pieces...chairs and power is made easy with mine.

Cant get a better deal than those lights...I hear they are pretty good bang for their buck. Enjoy the freedom.

Got a new alternator fitted recently as my one was no good

this is my new alternator that we fitted 2 weeks ago

Attachment 76194
