My new baby!

Well I've joined you all proper now! Just picked up my 98 SWB. Nice to drive and all seems good apart from a few niggles. Now I just need to start modifying! Suggestions for mods and the order to do them appreciated :smiley_thumbs_up:

Love the colour mate, well done!!!

Depending when the last service was done I would be checking all filters and oils and possibly doing a complete change of everything so you can start fresh with quality oils and filters.

Depending on what kind of 4wding you want to do I would first get a snorkel to ensure the safety of your engine and to get cleaner air.

I would then get a good quality suspension and some good tyres...

LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!!

Nice mate I wish we could get those shorties here


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

Very nice shorty mate, never seen one in real life as they were never sold here in Australia.

[threedogs]

First for me too never seen one, nice I likey, IMO do all your mods first and do suspension last and talk to installer what you want to do with truck Billy Goat, or touring ETC
Then he can tailor to suit your style.

Theres a white one that runs around up here in QLD. They do look good and think they would have been accepted into the aus 4wd scene very well. Good looking ride mate love the wipers on the lights.

Congrats on the purchase, I'm jealous :).

Thanks guys!

Yep bar work for sure! I think tyres and snorkle first.

Not had chance to have a look yet, but will I need a cage for a winch or are they ready for one?

[Clunk]

Now im sure I've said this before but im gonna say it again.......... really reaaly like your shorty GU mate, tis a shame they never came over here.

[nissannewby]

There is one of these for sale in QLD at the moment

[threedogs]

Think Mr Nissan may have missed a great chance here with the shorty GU, tojo's kicking goals with their shorty Prado atleast it'll have some competition.
