Nice looking rig what's first in the build

[Rip'n'Shred]

Thanks guys. I picked her up in brisbane, heading back to hunter valley today.

She has 109,000km, got it on carsales.com from a dealer. They put a brand new dash in it for me, was very badly blistered.

It has genuine winch steel bar, safari snorkel, uhf, cheap ipf spotties (prob from factory), pro track roof rails, cd player.

Will be ordering a few things this week. Roof basket, awnings, rear draws, drop slide, cargo barrier, front diff lock, hour water system, lift kit (3" I reckon). Plus a few more bits and pieces.

I'm like a kid at christmas, a little bit excited.
