Hi all, after snooping this forum for a while I finally bought a 2004 GU Patrol ute. Took a little while to decide, but the forum helped a lot. It's a 4.2 turbo inter cooled leaf rear ute. It has only done 120,000km but is very rough having lived its life on a remote Aboriginal community. So I will be spending a bit on trim & etc, also on the hunt for a Telstra pod to replace the tray. Will be asking questions in the near future to get hints and ideas for my new project.
Thanking you all in advance

Dru

Welcome dru, plenty of work ahead even without seeing it, been to plenty of communities in my time so know what it would be like. Needs to be totally stripped out and scrubbed top to bottom. There is plenty of info here to be had.

Thanks for the welcome. I am hoping to buy an ex Telstra pod and get rid of the tray. Will keep you posted how that goes. Found another GU ute today got some spare parts. Doors, seats, glovebox, headlight and lots of small bits and pieces. Might go back for the guards and gearbox top. The price was right too.....free!

G'day Dru

Welcome to the forum and glad you could join us.

I think three dogs is in the know for acquiring ex Telstra pods. He posted pics of pods, but I can't remember where.

Take care out there.
