    New owner of a Patrol

    Hi My name is Gene Kincaid. I live in Bray Park, Queensland. A few weeks ago I bought a 1998 Patrol. It has a 4.5 Litre petrol Engine. It is a TI with Auto Trans & I just found out today-Climate Control. I have a 2007 Commodore wagon with a 3rd seat that holds 3 kids. I am selling it to my daughter who has 5 kids. They are getting to big to fit in it with my wife and I so I bought the patrol that will fit 7 adults. I must say it is the first 4 wheel drive I have ever owned and I love it. I am a Yank that is married to an Aussie & I have lived here since March 1984. I retired out of the U.S Air force in 1Feb 1984 after 22.5 years. I love Australia too. My wife Sue & I just bought a bigger Jayco and we are looking forward to seeing more of Australia and being able to spend a few days there without it costing us an arm and a leg.
    Gene

    Hi. Welcome to the forum Gene.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    Welcome Gene! There are a few other grandfathers on the forum including myself and I also drive a 4.5 TI.
    Have a search through the forum and you'll find tips on how to better prepare your auto trans for towing.
    Your climate control actually has a 2nd evaporator for the rear passengers.

    I'm glad the reply you got in the other thread didn't frighten you away. Some jump to conclusions too quickly..
