Hi there from a new 4wder

[thatswhyy]

Hey guys
names sam always loved cars and working on them(most of the time lol) and after about 10 years for driving cars as low as I could get them my mates have finally talked me into buying a 4wd and after looking round the patrol seamed to be the best option.
so I bought a 96 2.8td wagon pretty much std and very tidy.
have been told its got a 2" spring lift but havnt compared it to a std one yet.
so far I love it had a bit of a play in the mud but no 4wding yet.
1st things on the list are
3" exhaust
front mount intercooler and associated piping
4"s/s snorkel
33" tyres
winch and modify arb bar to suit
and some storage in the back for camping and a bit of traveling.
thanks look forward to getting to know you guys
sam
Ps im a boilermaker by trade so all work I can do will be done by me.
