Welcome to Trol town Ithall.
Good to see you on board the best forum around. Sounds like a good score with your rig. Well done.
Heaps of handy information,Great bunch of people with a s*** load of knowledge and experience with plenty of good advice.
Plenty of good laughs along the way as well.
Doggy upsetting people is just a natural thing if your doing the wrong thing ?????, As he says he's just doing his job as a moderator. Damn Good one at that. Glad you got it sorted out.
A very friendly bunch around here.
Good luck buddy, Welcome aboard and Enjoy the ride.
Well, got the 150 point check back and I am missing a rubber plug for the hand break ....... thing ....... on the drive shaft and the rear diff oil was either long over due or the trol had done a lot of towing (I think it probably hadn't been changed). Other than that it is a new car (where is the happy face!!! )
I just have to take it down to regency and finish the paper work and I am done.

Also, $120 got me all the missing or broken internal plastic and the missing bung in the handbreak cover on the main shaft under the car.
Boring photoes but a great base to keep me going for the next 15 years.
The only thing to do to get it to 100% is to weld and paint the second batery bay.
After I have got the bank account into the black again my intentions are to add bull bar and winch, sliders, then lock and lift it.
I am thinking about bush bars as well but I don't know if they are worth it. I also don't know if I should lock the back as the limited slip is reputed to be very good.

Looks great mate enjoy it, I would not lock the rear diff as you said the LSD in the Patrols are probably the best on the market.
I only put a Locker in the front of my old GU and also have done the same with my current GQ.

Yeh, that is what I was thinking Dogman. Truth is I will get away without adding any lockers at all so I may lift it and see how I go for a while untill I have the cash sitting around ..... (That would be nice wouldn't it )
By the time I get to that point I will have a better idea how much a front locker will help me.
I am not used to the big trucks so it will take some time to work out where the goal posts stand. The zuk wasn't locked and when the going got rough you just had to hit it faster . I don't think that is the best way to go with the trol.
