    Budget GU build

    Purchased our Patrol in June of this year. Came fitted with Polyairs and nothing else. Since then have fitted.
    Six stacker stereo from 2014 Patrol (local classifieds)
    2" lift with Raw Nitro Max shocks (Nearly new evilbay)
    Genuine Alloy Bull bar with fogs (evilbay)
    Led Lights (only el cheapos)
    Airflow snorkel
    Catch can
    Donaldson second filter
    Rear draws, roof racks and cage scavenged from my dead Prado
    UHF again scavenged.
    Dual battery setup for camper trailer, scavenged
    Advice and contacts from this great forum (priceless)

    Total cost is just under $1500.
    Nads, gauges and pillar pod coming to add to the total.patrol3small.jpgpatrol4small.jpgpatrol5small.jpg

    Hope there's nothing wrong with me Snow, but I particularly like the bits about scavenging from the dead Prado, even though that must have been unfortunate for you.....

    The Prado had had its day. Poor old girl had done a lap including the Cape and Tassie. Even the rattles rattled on the thing. Should have lasted longer I suppose, But I did not know then what know now courtesy of this awesome forum. Nothing wrong with you Happygu. You're just abit one eyed like I am now. I love the white. (wifey not so keen)

    Sorry Mullet_hunter and Rossko haven't been on for a while. Kind of got caught up on other things. Drawers not sure but they came out of the Prado we had with very few mods as did the cage. Shelf is home made and cargo barrier is a shorted Prado one.
