    Lightbulb What else do you have to / will you / would like to, do to your Patrol ?

    There is a What did you do to your Patrol today? thread. And there is a few individual build threads.
    So I thought, why not a "quick glimpse" thread, to see what else you're going to, or would like to do to your rig in the future?

    I think I'm nearly there with my car. More than happy with the power so apart from the inter-cooler, I doubt I'll touch the engine any more. (famous last words)
    I'd also like to add:
    • Rear coil tower braces ...
    • Maybe a rear bar, Raslarr more than likely
    • Few suspension upgrades, starting with rear upper arms to help adjust pinion angle
    • Wire up winch isolator
    • get clutch replaced
    • catch can
    • Better brakes ?
    • And most importantly I need to get out and use the thing more often !!!

    So is this a "how I want my patrol" thread or a "how much the wife / bank ballance will allow" build thread?
    Lol.

    In seriousness I think the gu will stay mild.
    -Exhaust and gauges are next.
    -Maybe tillix and dawes valve depending if needed.
    -Intercooler upgrade.
    -33's
    -In body tail lights
    -I'm looking at fitting some reduction gears I have at home.

    And apart from some interior work I think that'll be it..

    Now if we're talking what I'd like.
    3" lift
    4.3 diff change to run 35's
    Rear bar to carry the 35's
    Lokka in the front
    Full length RTT roof rack
    50" roof mounted light bar
    Cheers

    Superior engineering front radius arms.
    Superiour, rear upper and lower arms.
    ARB front locka.
    Re-shim rear LSD as a matter of maintance.
    Rear tower braces
    Also want a Raslarr rear wheel bar, looks like good bit of kit.
    Under armor.
    Then some crap will happen & I'll be forced to sell my idea of a perfect ride.
    IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
    THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE

    In all seriousness though.

    The ute will be sold and most likely make way for a 4.8 wagon. Hopefully as close to if not an 2010 model.

    Depending what is has it will get the typical lift. Probably some colour coded bar work. Rear draws etc. And then it will most likely end up with a turbo hanging off of it.
