    Smile Another one from North Borneo

    Hi all!

    This post been long time coming as I've been a lurker for a while. Now that I've got my Patrol in sufficiently good working order it's time introduce it to the world. I'm not exactly new to the Patrol scene as I've been on front seat watching my brother Ade working on his black Patrol for 3 years or so now - some of you might be familiar with that one.

    I got my 1993 Y60 back in Sep 2013 almost stock and we've been working on it one thing at a time. Lots of maintenance work, getting all the various parts in good order and replacing old ones, some probably have never been replaced since it got on road back in 1994. Other than that I've changed the tyres and wheels, currently using 285 tyres on 8.5" wheels. Also installed a turbocharger a couple of weeks ago and my face is now sore from smiling so much. Looking forward to install a snorkel very soon, followed by front bars, roof racks, etc. Being in North Borneo means we have a lot of rainforest and impassable roads to explore!

    I've been reading and learning so much on this forum and hopefully I can contribute in some way. Here are a couple of pics.

    How it used to look like, back in September 2013:



    And in December 2013, sitting pretty next to the Black Patrol. As you can see, I've jumped the gun and got me a sticker too

    Oh he's around. I couldn't have done all these without him and a few other friends. He's been obsessing with the TPS unit and his transmission recently but I think all is well now.
