Thanks for the welcome. Will post some pics up in member's rigs when (if) I pick up the truck. Hey Threedogs Iam affraid to ask what's your slant on why the 4.2 is better? I figure because it's an old school motor ( like me old school) without all the electronics. I did look at the Ex Telstra 4.2 utes but rare as rocking horse poo in Qld. They all seem to be the CRD motor Patrols up here.
I must admit the electronics have me a bit stumped and I have some misgivings as I plan on some remote touring. I have been looking arround for quite a while and when I came across this Patrol I figured it was a pretty good unit as well as a good deal. I figured the mob that owned it just dropped it in on ARB and just said fit whatever you got. Lockers, dual bats, recovery hooks F+R, winch bar, winch and upgraded GVM. and not to mention the tray and boxes supplied by another mob. All in all it's just about what I want.
Cheers
Gary
