I got my first patrol
Not everyone's cup of tea but it ticks all my boxes!
Dirt bike on back
Kayak on roof
Warn winchImageUploadedByMotorculture1380789432.189010.jpgImageUploadedByMotorculture1380789496.152488.jpgImageUploadedByMotorculture1380789514.717381.jpg
Plenty of potential with the alloy boxes for camping
It's a 03 4.2td dx ( less electronics I likeImageUploadedByMotorculture1380789401.364284.jpg)
And yes the PVC pipe was a factory extra (very hard to come by lmao)
It's a good base for me I have many thing to do to it and will keep ya updated

Yeah it's done 300 clicks mate I payed 16 g for it.
I reckon back tray worth half of that!!!!
Already got 175l fuel capacity
Warn winch
My goal is to have a full time tourer setup mods will be
Snorkel
Lift
Dual Batt setup
Decent rubber
On board air compressor with 9l tank
Front and rear lockers
On the back
Permanent kitchen
65l Waco
Led lighting in boxes
Maybe remove PVC pipe ( hard one though)
That's all to get me started
My opinion is if the motor packs in at least i can rebuild a great motor. Although I think at 300kms it's got a while to go yet
Cheers

Well I picked her up yesterday and proceeded with the 600km drive home. What can I say other than it is the most comfy vehicle I have ever driven long distance!!!!! The beast has never been off road in its life I cant see one scratch or dent underneath.
One question how do I know if it's been lifted?? I got the spec measurement from manual but it doesn't seem that high 1864mm or something. It just looks high to this untrained eye lol
