Hey everyone quite a few of you would have already seen my intro post but I thought I should probably start a build thread as the truck is my new and second pride and joy right next to my 91 Subaru Liberty RS Turbo
I will be asking a lot of questions along the way as I am new to the 4x4 scene
Anyway at the end of 2014 I was made redundant with the company I had been with for 4 years so I received a handy little payout which bought me this baby
2003 GU III ST
210***kms
5spd
Dealership hooked me up with 3 year warranty.. new tint all round and elec rust protection..
No mods at all so far except for some dirty heavy duty springs elec trailer brake control and a tidy brand new TJM Bullbar which I should be able to fob off for a bit to help pay for the new winch bar
ASAP Mods list:
NADs with boost and EGR gauges
Catch can
Snorkel
K&n filter
33's and a lift kit.. undecided on 2 or 3 inch lift..
oh and remove that dirty pinstriping!!
the rest of the mods:
winch bar + winch
dual battery setup
rear drawers
fridge
rooftop tent and side awning
lighting (LED bars spotlights etc and lighting setup to supply lighting for campsite)
I have probably missed some things on the lists but you get the idea..
I pretty much want to build a truck suited for touring with the ability to tackle the tracks
anyway I hope you all like my new truck and enjoy my build along the way!!

Neat looking car. Have you asked TJM if you can fit a winch in the bar? TJM use a cradle to bolt the winch to the chassis rails behind the bar and only the fairlead goes on the bar. It all depends if there is a spot behind the number plate for the fairlead.
I didn't think of that rock trol I will definitely head in and ask them about that.. Even though I'm not planning on keeping that Bullbar but it'll definitely help for the time being.. Thanks mate!!
