    New GU td42 owner

    Hey everyone.

    I'm Stewart from Perth and last month I bought a 5/1999 patrol.
    Its my first 4x4 and I'm planning on keeping it reasonably stock but everyone says that.

    Its in pretty good nick for its age, I'm the 4th owner, the second owner was an old guy that had it for 11 years
    and only added 40k to it. Currently it has 120 on the clock so barely ran in!
    As most patrol owners have experienced it has the wobbles between 90-100kph so sorting that is my first job.

    Thanks guys. Feeling the love already ☺
    I took the old girl into Robson bros for a full check over and it needs a bit of work.. a few minor things but the suspension is shagged and needs a wheel alignment / new front diff.
    Other than that they said it looked alright and for the price I paid I'm still in front

    mate, Gumtree is your friend for parts

    have seen several Patrols wrecking, and only $500 for suspension, $200 for diff's
    (there was one with front air locker and onboard compressor for $800

    Robsons are great - but way to expensive for me.........
