G'day all, Names Ethan.

Recently bought myself a 98 Y61 GU DX 2.8 Turbo Diesel Patrol, Its my first patrol as ive come from the other side of the camp, Owned an 04 3.0 TD Hilux before getting this patrol, It was an alright vehicle but offroad so far the patrol has stomped it to the floor, On road ill have to say my Hilux did better but oh well Im happy :)

Its pretty stock atm, When i bought it she came with a TJM Steel winch Bullbar with brush bars and a 3' Lift and an Airtec snorkel

so far ive installed a Sony Double din, Aerial and radio to go with it so i can annoy truckies on channel 40 ;), got a set of 15' Sunnies and 33' Maxxis Bighorns on order hopefully getting them put on my beast during the week so i cant wait to see what a transformation it does

Future mods would be

Dobinsons 5' Flexy Coils
Super Flex arms
All suspension upgraded to suit the 5' lift
XGT spotties/40' Lightbar
Roof racks and full length basket (Possibly making my own roof rack)
Fabricating my own rear wheel hi lift carrier till ive got myself the roof rack
3' Mandrel bent straight through pipe
Roof console

Im trying to set my rig up to be a capable offroad machine aswell as a comfortable tourer so half half :)

Cheers for the warm welcome :). Hopefully I'll be able to help others out and become a good forum member. People hold drive days in NSW? And are there any coming up soon?
