Another West Aussie . . .
G'day all. Been a while since I have done any serious 4WDing. Did a bucket load while posted in Darwin some 20 yrs ago. Have had a kick around, Pajero for the last 4 yrs, but have the chance to upgrade, and I'm looking at getting a GU III. I know about the problems with them, but this one suits me.
I will be outing it with a 2" lift, Winch, drawers and roof tray for starters.
don't know until you try
Arguing with a Zealot, is only slightly easier than tunnelling through a mountain with your forehead !!!

Welcome - you wont regret the step up to a GU.
And i do mean step up if your into doing some more serious off roading.
I'm sure a few pajero lovers will disagree, but ive had a couple of pajeros over the years, also many cruisers and currently on my second patrol
Value for money, ease of repair, and all round reliability you cant beat the patrol.
Bit more truck like to drive than a pajero, but a lot more capable too.
Current - 2011 GUVII 3.0 CRD
Previous - 2004 GUIV 3.0DI "The Grenade" Literally ...
100 LC V8, 150 D4 Prado, 200 Series V8D .... and a Discovery D2V8 in between ... what was i thinking?

Nothing wrong with a S3 I reckon mine still drives like new.
Just read up on NADS, fit gauges first.

Thanks all for the welcome.
@threedogs ~ the more I read, the more I think I need to get the engine management sorted. This GU has been logbook serviced, but still for piece of mind, I will look at that first, I think.
Anyone know if the EDS from 4wdsupacentre is worth the $$ ??
Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome. The more reading I do, the more I will look at NADS as a priority. Can't have my 2nd love breaking now, can we ?? Anyone know if a EDS is worth the $$ as well ??
Cheers
