Hi Guys

My name is Luke and new to forum and new to patrol.:groupwave:

I have a work Triton they let me run around in, did some light 4wd (put few scratches in it) and had a blast. So I set out to buy myself a second hand 4x4 that had as much done to it as i could afford. I found this 93 GQ patrol list of stuff as follows

Front Lockers
Snorkel
2 Way
Fog Lights
Spot Lights
Rear Camping light
Winch
Bull Bar - high lift points
Tow Bar - high lift points
2" Lift tuffdog
5 x AT
5 x MT
Air Cab seat
False Floor with draws set up under it
Dual battery
Dual fuel Petrol/LPG
long list of every part that has every gone into this car


also came with spare engine, front diff, loads of pipes belts and anything else he could find that he wouldn't use ever again.:thumbup:

so thats what was on it, on top of that I got recovery hitch, bash plate (although it dose not seem to cover much) and set of recovery point on the front. I bought most of the recovery gear snatch straps jacks etc, so i am all set go have some fun.!!!
:210:

Future mods include rock-sliders, maybe a body-lift or taller suspension lift.

PS I live around Logan (ill get my name put on the map) so anyone near by thats ever keen on weekends to do a run please PM me
