After being away from Patrols for about 3 or 4 years I decided it was time to buy another
So on Christmas Eve I bought this:
The low down:
TB42 auto, stock as a rock except for an ARB non winch bar
It wasn't pretty but it was cheap, the young guy I brought it off had already done the head and rebuilt the front swivel hubs, so I'd already made my money back
Then I started fitting things to it, Rear drawers (out of a prado), cargo barrier
After the drawers it needed a lift, Stainless Snorkel, Roof racks and new wheels and tyres
This was it's first trip, at this stage I had only driven it 40km to get a RWC and back home so it was fingers crossed and just a camping weekend. Used it to get firewood but that's about it
What is it:
89 GQ TB42 carby auto
What's it got:
ARB non winch bar
2 inch lift
Dual batterys using Redarc solenoid
285/75 16 tyres, Black sunnys (not just for your eyes)
Patroldocta Snorkel
147lt Long Range tank
Prado rear drawers (900mm long)
Cargo barrier
What'll it have:
TD42ti engine, manual transmission
Front locker, 4.3 diff gears Now front and rear lockers and 4.6 gears
35-37 inch tyres
lot's more kms
