The Patrol in Progress

[lorrieandjas]

I picked up a 2012 Patrol in November last year and so far have added bullbar, winch, snorkel, 2" lift on Dobinsons coils and Koni shocks. Still have to install UHF, roof bars, brake controller, Anderson plug, and driving lights. Will post pics of them when done. Here's some photos pre-lift:

And here's some of the lift in progress and completed:

G'day Jas,

Very nice mate! Are you sure you want to get your Patrol dirty up at Cape York.lol

Regards,

Hi mate - yeah - way too clean at the moment! Some of the first photos are when I bought it - the last were from today after the lift. Happy with the lift and the advice received from John at Zordo's Suspension was great. The rear is slightly higher for towing and load but levels nicely at about 150kgs.

In terms of ride there is very little difference from stock suspension in terms of feel and no caster correction is needed on 2' lifts. The Konis are re-buildable and adjustable (only issue is you have to take them off to adjust them) but I have them on the "comfort" setting at the moment!

Hey Jas, when is the draws and cargo barrier going in ??

[lorrieandjas]

Hey Steve - not sure on those yet - issue I have with a cargo barrier is I have to cart around 4 kids from time to time and that makes it painful. Easy to pull the rear seats out and put them back in but takes longer to remove the barrier!

Looking good Jas, did you measure it before lift ,be interesting to see how much you got.
Pack smart in containers and you wont need a Barrier, go to 4x4 shop get some tie off points and use on those cover plates.
you thinking what I'm thinking, maybe a cargo net??

you thinking what I'm thinking, maybe a cargo net?? easy enough to do, I'd love a blind that covered the whole cargo area.
something with a bit of balls. Leave it with me, got pic in head. need paper quick.

Hi TD - from my estimate - 'cause I didn't write down the before height I am running at about 3 inches higher on the back and 2.5 inches higher at the front. The old shocks and springs were only 4 months old so hadn't really settled.

Where'd you measure from Jas? Mine is same as yours only done 3,000klm and is empty so I can measure and let you know what stock height is if you like.
