I have been lurking and using the forum for a while now but I realised that I have never actually introduced myself.

So, here I am

The name's Joe and I have a white GUIII with the intriguing ZD30 coupled to an auto box.

I am not a rabid rock crawler, but instead I am more of a tourer and explorer. I don't mind getting into those difficult to reach places as long as the destination is as good as the journey in.

The Troll has had the usual mods done NADS, Steibauer chip and Beaudesert exhaust and a 3 inch lift. It carries a Nissan steel bar, dual batteries (powering the 60 litre Evakool) on board compressor, turbo timer, Rhino roof bars and basket etc etc.

All in all I am happy with the Troll. More power and less grenade comments would be nice - perhaps that longed for 6.6 Duramax conversion will happen if i win the lottery and fix both of those comments.

Stay safe out there and keep the shiny side up!

Be careful what you ask for - you may just get it!

Having been round the block nearly twice I have a LOT of photographs from lots of different places and down lots of tracks.

I can scare people simply by asking "Do you want to see our photos?" as i pull the iPad out! :D :D

Welcome to the forum Joe. The one place where most people will happily view others photos be it of their pride and joy or the places it has taken them.
