He'll be fine stock standard for awhile - just couldn't believe all the crappy looked after/maintained Patrols out there for sale at ridiculously outrageous prices !!

Soooo went alittle newer & alittle above my planned budget LOL


Oh and found my dark grey one!! Just wasn't prepared to pay $36k for the flipping thing when white was soooo much cheaper

White is the best colour too, does not show the scratches as bad. (assuming you will be going bush bashing)
