Hi Everyone

Just bought my 1st patrol! Its a 2004 ZD30 automatic.

Got a long list of goodies :
* LPG injection
* xforce 3 inch exhaust
* ARE upgraded intercooler, scoop and fan
* ARB winch bar (no winch though)
* Bolsy Rock Sliders
* ARB rear bar with dual wheel carrier
* Tough Dog adjustable shocks
* superior engineering uper control arms, panhard rods, track rod, drop boxes
* removable swaybar links front and rear
* Twin air compressor setup
* Reverse spottie and camera
* Dual Batteries
* Spotties and LED light Bar
* UHF radio
* roof bars and awning
* ECU talk
* Boost gauge
* Pyro Gauge
* Full NADS (needle valve, dawes valve, catch can, erg block)

Pretty happy with it so far, although its had a few annoying problems but have sorted a few of them out by searching the wealth of knowledge here on the forum.

Cheers

G'day Adam

Welcome aboard. Nice truck.

You've got enough lights to illuminate my town!!! lol.

Don't worry, I'm jealous.

Great to see another Sandgroper on here.

Take care out there.

Thanks for the welcome

I have a bit of a question and not really sure of what forum section to post to....
I'm looking at getting a snatch strap, but not really sure what rated load I should be looking at for the patrol. I've read a few articles and I think I'm more confused than when I started!
Also are there any brands that I should be avoiding - I've heard that there are some straps made of polyester rather than nylon that dont perform as well.....

Cheers
Adam

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.

I have a mix of ARB and BCF XTM's bought straps. Not sure about the different materials.
I would think as long as you have something is better than nothing.
Buy the best you can afford.

Hi Adam, How many km's on the motor? I have a friend with one just done over 175,000km's and the motor blew up.... Have you heard this about this ZD30 motor before?

Hey Cherry

The car has 168,000 kms on it but the motor was replaced about 15,000kms ago. Its got all the NADS stuff and PSI is set to a max of 16psi so I'm hoping that its going to be all good..... (fingers crossed)

Cheers
Adam
