Hi all,

My name is Warwick I'm currently residing in Perth area but moving back to FNQ mid 2014.
I've just bought my first 4x4: 2010 patrol, 3lt turbo diesel, auto (missus can't drive manaul) and I'm spending the hard earned at ARB for a couple of mod's which I'll tell you about soon.
Glad to be hear and looking forward to a chat.

Welcome aboard mate, heaps of good info and great bunch of ppl here. Choose your mods carefully and get set up right the first time, throw some Q's around here you might find what you are looking for on here a lot cheaper than you will from ARB, not saying their product is crap as it is really good and you do normally get what you pay for, but if d them expensive.

Welcome mate, surely the best forum on the net. If you need it, you can get it, if you want to know it, just ask it.
If you want to find it, go to the search bar for a universe of information.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the greatest show on earth.

Cheers guys,

I've got heaps of questions just not sure where to start haha.
It's to late to not get the mods from arb now the dealer is already running with it, Only got a couple of things to get after that. like a good set of HID spotties, I've got nightstalker at the moment but for the new truck I'm thinking light force 240 XGT, suggestions?

Haha I thought the same thing and couldn't settle on a bar or spotties, so I'm going both 40" wurton bar on the roof and spotties on the bar. Planning for a trip up across the top

Welcome to the forum! I'm a newbie too, from my experience ARB is great but they are pretty hefty and there is plenty of choice out there with reasonable prices on all your mods. There is heaps of info on here so good luck with it!

So I got out to arb yesterday to check on the truck, they've had it since Monday straight from the dealer. Was looking bare they had stripped it to run the wiring and hoses but coming along nicely. Told me they will need it until next Friday and then it goes to united fuel injection the following Wednesday (4th) which means I've still got a couple of weeks to wait before I get the keys. Hopefully right in time for the adventure show.
