I have just picked up a 1998 GU 4.5 manual on duel fuel as my first 4x4 to see if I like it before jumping in the deep end on a more expensive rig.
It has done a few kms (433,000 ) but looks to be well maintained.
Has a 2 inch lift, Nissan factory bullbar, spotlights and 33 inch mud tyres with Dynamic steel wheels.
It has so far run me 6k including the second hand muddies and Sony A/V head unit.
I plan on using it on the weekend to tow my 15 foot tinny, go on camping trips and enjoy the local tracks here in Canberra with some mates.
I am building a a recovery kit including a recovery hitch for the tow bar (I know not to use the tow ball), recovery ramps (ebay maxtrax), snatch strap and shovel. I also plan to get a 12v air compressor which will run off the Anderson plug in the boot.
Anything else you guys would recommend?
Would be keen to tag along with local fourm members out bush to learn a thing or 2.
