Hi All, my name is Brendan from outer Melbourne. This is my first ever forum site.
I have 2 Patrols, a 99 GU TD42T with a Trak Shak camper (we need to room with 4 kids). Love to getaway when work allows although have mainly done lots of Vic High Country & little bit of Sth Aust outback so far.
My 2nd Patrol is more of a project, I love the durability, simplicity (no black boxes) and reliability of the TD42T, so I purchased a cheap 1990 GQ with a seized TD42 (the owner didn't pick the slow weep from the water pump). I am in the process of putting in a '99 TD42T motor into the GQ, it's all going well, but there are more differences than I thought there would be (I am using the GQ accessories off the old motor where I can).
Being fairly limited in terms of resources and tools, it is a slow process for me as I want it to be done right with no shortcuts.
Hopefully some people would have already gone through this process and this forum will be full of useful info.
Cheers
