    Mr Flibbles GQ

    Hi guys said hello in the intro, so now to introduce my truck!
    It is a 1993 4.2 injected, on gas and auto (was looking for a manual but this was a good deal i could not pass up!)
    It has done 162,000kms and already has a bit of a lift an ARB bull bar and Safari snorkel. As a bonus it is reasonably neat and tidy inside and out.
    The Bad bit is the starter doesnt work properly and the power ariel doesnt work!
    Still havent driven it too far, but it feels reasonbly nice when it has been driven!
    My main plans for it is to use it to take the family out camping and to generally have some fun with it.
    mods planned for it are roof basket, some storage drawers for the inside, add a uhf radio and a few other bits and pieces as i can.
    now for some pictures....

    thanks guys, loving this forum and loving the DIY section, just keep getting ideas on what to do with it!
    Want to give it a good going over and change all fluids and grease everything before i go to far, just gotta get a starter and register it for now!

    I have only been running the Patrol on petrol since i got it, so i thought i would give the LPG a try, what a let down it idles fine but doesnt rev on gas, Im thinking i might just yank the gas out and fit another fuel tank. There is only about a year left on the gas before i have to get it retested so i would rather just get rid of it.
    Oh and i still have to fix the starter! (Its easy enough to start at the moment!)
