G'Day

[Cervantes]

G'Day folks.

I'm new to the site and just about to take delivery of a 2001 Extra Cab TD42T GU Ute.

I intend to use this as a daily knockaround, to launch the boat and for a few extended touring trips.

This will be the third Patrol that I have owned.

In the past I've had a 2.8 Turbo Diesel Wagon and then a 4.2 Wagon with a Brunswick Chevy V8 Conversion.

And just to be controversial I've also owned a couple of Landcruisers and Jeeps over the years.

Looking forward to picking your collective brains regarding fitting out the new (to me) Ute.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Threedogs.

I collect the Ute on Tuesday and will be able to take some pictures then to post.

It's nothing flash at the moment. Fairly standard, but I have plans to do some work and modifications to make it suit my needs.

Cheers
Andy

Many thanks for the warm welcome.

I collect the truck tomorrow, so will be able to take some pictures to post.

I've already been trawling through the posts here as I have some plans for the truck, and have already picked up a wealth of useful information.

Thanks again
