New to 4x4 with an old rig
As per the title, I thought I'd introduce myself here.
I'm from the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne and have just bought my first 4x4, a GQ Patrol. Its pretty rough, so it needs a lot of work, mostly mechanical which will be patching up the body a bit, servicing the engine, rebuilding the front axle and then removing some "improvements" made by a previous owner, namely a big stereo and a cargo barrier. Once I'm done with all that I'm looking forward to getting it out into the country.
Any advice would be appreciated especially with regard to rebuilding the swivel hubs.
Thanks for the opportunity to join the community.
