Hi to all on here.
I've been a Land Rover fanatic all my life but a recent twist of fortune presented me with a beautiful 2009 LWB GU 4.8 with just 37,000km on the clock.
My goal is to prepare it for desert travel and over landing, the car will be loaded into a container bound for Morocco in March for it's first trip outside the UAE.
My build sheet of bolt-on's are a Kaymar dual wheel/jerry can carrier, Auto-Home Columbus Roof tent sitting on Rhino Rack roof bars, Home made self supporting swing out awning, Long Ranger fuel tank, Black Widow storage drawers, Black Widow Fridge Drop-Slide and cargo barrier, Ohlins adjustable suspension with 1" lift, Dual batteries, on-board shower with 52lt water tank, Safari Snorkel.
Next on the list is a rear door ladder and a drop down table from the right side barn door. I will keep the engine bog standard for reliability and ease of servicing.

I'm good at most things mechanical/electrical but will need a few pointers until I learn my way around this new vehicle.

Welcome.

Any questions or assistance just post them up.
Some of the replies will probably be partially correct most of the time.

Just joking, there's a wealth of knowledge to be had from the Patrol Psychos around here.

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.

Hello and welcome! I'm also very fond of the Marocco desert. Don't know how it compares to UAE but you will enjoy it.
