    $5k worth of ARB gear - how to spend it right?

    With the help of many a forum member, I have won ARB's win $5k for your 4x4 competition.

    As I mentioned, if i was to win, all proceeds were going to be pumped in to my new 2008 DX patrol.

    Open to suggestions on where the money is best spent in order to get the best value for money.

    Ill post progress shots as everything starts to come together!

    Bull bar, winch, front locker. That's what I'd do mate but there are so many ARB products you will not find it very hard to spend 5k!

    I'd chase a bar second and cause the ARB bars will cost you a packet. Same goes for the winch, a Warn winch brand new is Silly money!

    From ARB in my order.

    Old man Emu 2" lift.
    Front air locker paired with their double pumper hi output compressor.
    45lt Fridge and slide
    Full recovery kit (snatch strap, extension strap, tree truck protector, bag , etc)
    Dual Battery system
    Front deluxe winch bar
    Brush bars and side steps

    Balance $0

    Nice car.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Nah that would be the Order i would buy things mate until i ran out of cash. you would likely get near that full list but i dont think you'd have anything left. But a very good car.

    Cant think of anything i would put ahead of anything in that order though??
