Man I hate this forum

[Lonicus]

So, I've ordered my new GU Patrol with just the standard bull bar and tow bar. All very happy and waiting for delivery, hopefully Friday next.

Knowing I will want to put lights on it I researched a bit and decided on a set.

Then I found this place!

I start browsing the different sections and come across the GPS/reversing camera thread...ohh pretty. I ordered the Eonon.

I open a thread about lights. Out the window goes my original idea for lights and instead have so many options brought up by members here that I have on idea now what I'm going to get, except maybe a divorce if I go and get everything :)

There are so many ideas and tips for gearing up in here that my mind really is in free fall at the moment thinking about all the cool stuff I could do with the new baby.

Thanks to everyone for making this such a great place!

Cheers
Lon

Dual battery system, rear bar, winch, long range tanks, on board air ... a lift ...

That should keep you occupied Lon

Nice looking rig Mego!

I'll be gearing up over the next 12 months or so for our move north, where the plan is to spend a fair bit of time on the beaches so I'm sure one or ten of the above suggestions will make it onto and into the trol!

Thanks mate. Have printed the itemised list and handed to my wife.

It's my birthday soon and she's always asking what I want. Well now she knows!

However, given her reaction to the list, I'm not too sure any of the above will make it :)

[Clunk]

So do what I do AMD don't tell her..... She won't notice any way@!!!! Hahahaha

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

[happygu]

Go out and get it stuck somewhere in the mud. That will soon change her mind about spending money on a lift kit, some mud tyres, and to get a winch

[The BigFella]

history has proven so long as we keep it the same colour shmbo will not know the subtle changes made along the way,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Lonicus]

LOL all good ideas

[munter]

4in lift, 35's
superior everything.

custom bar work

long range tank

lockers

roof rack

led light bars etc etc etc

hows the Credit Card looking?

[Lonicus]

It's looking worried.

Already received the first accessory, GPS/camera, and don't have the car yet :)

[megatexture]

haha nice one that wont even dent the bank loan plenty more for mods left lol

[Lonicus]

Apart from little things like mats, lights will be next. A lightbar (which I didn't know existed til I read about them here). Definitely want the lightbar for spread, the distance I get out of them will dictate what spotties I get later on.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Plenty of different versions of light bars out there. Some cheap, some not so cheap.

I must agree & $13000 later, and still spending

[macca]

So do what I do AMD don't tell her..... She won't notice any way@!!!! Hahahaha

Mine idea is show her what she now owns half of, still in it but only half as deep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny thing lately she doesn't ask what I'm doing to the Patrol any more??????????????

Saw the Marks Adaptors stubbie cooler and said thats a new one, looks good too. No questions why I have it LOL

So I've found.

Rigid Industries seem to be the duck's guts, but they carry the price tag to match. Quantum also look good and are half the price of the RI lights, hopefully not half the quality.
