Hi everyone,

Im a long time lurker, first time poster. I thought it was about time I jumped in & said hello. Ive got a 2011 Patrol Wagon. I bought it new & have added alot of nice goodies to it over the last 2 years. We have set it up for remote touring around our great country. Ive got some photos from a recent trip earlier in the year ill post up. The photos are on the other computer so Ill post some later tonight.

Im really pleased with the patrol, had a few issues here & there, steering from new was an issue. Also being a family of 4, space & weight issues but any 4wd will have that. Overall its been great.
Thanks
Greg

Thanks for the welcome. As promised here a couple of photos of us touring around Tasmania earlier in the year. Since these photos I have got some BFG Km2 tyres & some steel wheels. For general day to day I still run the 17" alloys & the original tyres the car came with but change to the steel wheels & KM2 if we go offroad.

Ill start up a new thread about my Patrol in the members area. All those photos above are from Tasmania earlier in the year where we were away for nearly 2 months. We dont tow a camper as we tent it. The tent, matress's, sleeping bags are in the blue bag up on the roof.

Thanks for lookoing
