yes a good tyre gauge is good to have, they look pretty and all that, but when your out there and want to get the wheels turning you cant go past Ferrets tyre deflators and a pencil gauge IMO, all ive ever used and never once had an issue.
Mates all have the pretty wank gauges that cost a wee bit more than a deflator and im on the move (usually to the esky) while theyre still deflating lol, they do their tyres in 8-10 mins and get the same result and the same pressures as i do in 2 mins flat.
If you can count, not only are they the fastest deflators in Australia, they are also Australian made and they are cheaper than your gauges with a valve press. Oh and they look great as a key ring.
Anyone that has one will vouch for them.

Most basic things have already been covered, but on the topic of larger investments like a winch, the first thing I'd be changing on a stock vehicle is tyres.
Buy the best aggressive All-terrain tyres you can afford.....or some good mud tyres if you aren't driving on bitumen everyday or can put up with the noise.....
Enjoy it, check your ego at the drivers door and always remember there is no such thing as a stupid question when learning the ropes.....

You poor bastard Mark.
I came here a few months ago, shortly before I got my Patrol, and the list of things I need/want is still growing!
The guys here are bloody great, they know their stuff, always put safety first, and are incredibly good at spending your money for you
You've found the best place on the 'net for Patrol owners, enjoy

Can anyone point me in the direction for a good basic recovery kit?
I'm in Ferntree Gully, Victoria if that makes a dif.
Also what will it need to be rated to weight wise for a 07 gu?
thanks

Sounds like you need to come out with some experienced guys with all the gear so you can see how it all works and what you might need first.
There is so much to learn and the best way is to go out with good people who are not cowboys...
Having a good novice friendly day on the 9th at Tallarook and you are welcome to tag along.
