[Bigrig]

Crikey ... here goes ...

Upgrade turbo and exhaust

Hmmmm ... might be others ... but that's it currently ...

Add super flex arms to that list .. drop boxes have done their job, but figure the front end can use all the help it can get to flex up more ...

And maybe a 6" Off Road Boss lift and 35" tyres ... but that's closer to the point of de-registering it and turning it into a play thing ...

[Winnie]

Oh god...


31" road tyres
Service
Millweld commercial bar
Make some side steps/brush bars
Winch
Make rear drawers, incorporate second battery and 50L water tank with pump
Tidy up wiring
Spotlights
Rear work light on a Ferret bracket
Upgrade headlight loom and fit better lights
Fit cig socket + USB in centre console
New mirrors
New tail light

Plus whatever else I've forgotten!

2. Custom rear bar and wheel carrier (build myself)
3. Rock sliders (again myself)
4. Rear draws
5. Paint job (probably myself again)
God where will i get the time

[Bigrig]

Side note (slight hijack), but just think if you added up the price of all our mods collectively ... just Nissan Patrols, of which we're probably an eighth or less of the entire Patrol population, a fiftieth or even more of the entire four wheel drive market (including soft roaders that get mods done) and I'd be surprised if we weren't somewhere in the thick end of $50M between just us with a truckload still to be done (10000 odd members x $5000 each as an average just for sh1ts and giggles - probably a lot higher than that).

Wow!!! It's a big industry ... one that it is underestimated I reckon for revenue generation, jobs, etc ...

[growler2058]

We could all buy nissan moco

[Bigrig]

Moco?? What am I missing??? lol

And that doesn't include the buy price of the trucks themselves ... big market indeed ...

Think about Patrolapart in Lilydale... they're massively successful, people from all over the country get stuff from them. They've cornered the market for sure!

I was curious after reading your message and reckon it would be in excess of 100 million dollars easily, so I started a poll to an average spent from voters if I actually get any

[snicko]

Well..........Holy crap......just added up what I have done = 50

All that's left is to upgrade the headlights and a bigger scoop as the factory one rubs on the new bling intercooler.

Really hope hubby doesn't read this!!

[4.2trol]

ummm...
compressor for my front locker
rear draws
get new front doors as mine are well and truly fkucket
new rear sliding windows

[MEGOMONSTER]

Mudrunner, really didn't want to share. Lol

[sooty_10]

Just read through this thread, man I forgot about this.
Mudrunner, really didn't want to share. Lol

Secret squirrel business.....

Interesting to see others to do lists, I wonder how much has been ticked off since they put there lists up.

My current to do list includes:
Endless air brackets
Install air tank
Roof console
Awning
Roof rack tray (I have rhino bars)
Install rear work lights.
Rear dual wheel carrier
Some form of onboard water tank, looking at flexy ones.
Helton hot water exchange for shower setup.
And I'm sure there is more that I simple cant think of right now.

Time and money as they say, usually have one but not the other.

[MudRunnerTD]

Lol! Mick the list is very very long. You will know that your list evolves, every time to tick 1 item off your list and use it you come home and add another 2 items to your list.

I thought my GQ was complete 5 years ago but since then I have added GU diffs, GU steering box and now my attention is turned to installing 24v for my winch, air free spool and the list starts again. 37" Treps on Evan Walker Bead locks would be nice too but that's another $6000

:(

[mudski]

TD42 is all I really have left I want to do to my GU. Well a nice set of draws and that's it.

[megatexture]

Not sure how I missed this one and I hate to think, I know we spent 6k in mods before we got the car and I'd think it may be around 15k now but I'll work it out as its got me curious

[MEGOMONSTER]

First there were Patrols.
Then came the mods.
Then come the upgrades.

[threedogs]

I'd like to do a dual cab chop down the track, it would suit my future plans better.
I've finished my tyre hoist but its 25mm too tall to fit on my rack,

still to do
Supercharger installed and working
Roof top bag ( possible a AB redback bag ) lol

[93patrol]

Get the rust cut out and re sprayed
Rear tube bar with 1/4 chop with a tyre carrier if possible.
Make up some rear drawers and clean up the interior
Rebuild gearbox and rear diff

[RubberDuckieGQ]

Our list is still long
LPG conversion issues to be fixed
Mud tyres 33"
Roof rack to hold awning, high lift jack etc
Snorkel (undecided due to LPG)

Reduction gears
Camper trailer

[warner01]

Hey a man can dream...... :smileyvault-cute-bi

[ozjeff]

I'm lucky, the car just had another $10K spent on it when I bought it so mods were limited - well reduced at least, mind you the list keeps building for some reason.

Done last 2 months:
2Din Touchscreen/Bluetooth/GPS Stereo, reverse camera, speakers, sub & amp
LED light bar and Spots (replaced Lightforce 240's - kind of wish I didn't now)
Winch & related bits
Steering bash plate
Roof racks
Awning
Dashcam (I swear my Patrol is invisible all too often)
ECUtalk

Next few weeks/months:
Front recovery points (swear these were on there when I bought it, aren't now!)
Diff guard
Front Locker (probs e-locker)

One Day:
Potentially drawers (Might only look at a system down 1 side only so I can still fit the dog(s) in)
Front suspension starting to get a little tired
Bigger tyres
Replace side steps with rock sliders & maybe scrub bars.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Well.....lol Front locker Second aux battery secure my dodgy air filter housing Better winch Roof rack Rear quarter chop Rear bar Sliders Scrub bars Better stereo and speakers GPS system combo Better Spot lights Roof top camper Better drawer system Cup holder...lol New tyres I'll think of more soon and add to it...LMAO

Well, AB, have any of these actually been ticked off. You did slot of work before the Simpson.

[AB]

Blast from the past Mego.... If say 60% of them done.
