Newbie from afar...
Greetings from Central America! About two weeks ago I got lucky and found a 1990, GQ/Y60, 4.2, Diesel SWB, Manual that I simply could not pass up. She needed a lot of work, both under the hood and inside, but I was up for the challenge. Thrilled to be a part of the NP Forum and gathering ideas and information from those more experienced than me!

Thanks for the welcome! I'll be sure to get a build thread going as I've already progressed some in the two weeks I've had the Patrol. In summary, I've gutted the interior in preparation for a more weather-proof interior with diamond plating, replaced the tires with BFG/KM2s, blacked out the front grill and wheels, though I'm thinking there might be too much black. Hopefully some extra lighting, winch, or a better bull bar will give it a little more character.
Here are some pics of my progress thus far... I have some new lights coming on the 1st of December and my next major mod will be a custom, low-profile roof rack. Something along the lines of a frontrunner design or ARB touring.
