    G'day Lads and Lasses,

    After a little time away from the Patrol family, I will be back into a new'ish 2001 GU II ST TB45E in the next two weeks. One of the cleanest cars, let alone a Patrol, that I have had the pleasure of driving.

    I have been practicing in my 1997 Ford Explorer and it is still going to hang around for a little while longer and will probably go to my son. Thats one very capable 4X4 just quietly but its not a Patrol and needs a bit more in the towing department but stands up the the Patrols, and anything for that matter, in the bush (which was a surprise)

    The GU does have a few things to fix but nothing major so I will seek your assistance in pointing me in the right direction if I get stuck. First thing to do is get the sub tank pump going as it wont transfer fuel to the main tank. I will have to have a look at that first. Probably a ground or fuse issue.

    But all in all not a bad pickup. 215000 KM on the clock and has been looked after very well.

    Not many mods to do. Just a winch, light bars, recovery points and a snorkel and it will be good to go.

    Already planning a trip the the High Country and Uluru\Alice Springs for next year.

    Cheers everyone.

    Rob

    WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

    Welcome back to the forum.
    As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

    Welcome back rob, nice ride.
    In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
