[jajcherry]

Hi there
I joined over a year and thought its about time to introduce my self
I have owned patrols for about 15 years
I currently have a 1992 GQ TB42E

[jajcherry]

A bit off a back ground history
I have owned about 5 patrols
I started off with a
1978 G60 petrol which I modified and I put a Ford 250 pre cross flow motor then I fully panel and painted mid Grey (AS color N52)

to be continued

back ground history continued last post

I sold my G60 patrol to my Bro and brought a
1982 MQ Petrol I drove it for a few months but it had a fair bit of rust in the roof so I got rid off it and brought a

1986 MQ Diesel modified the chassis to suit a ford 250 cross flow motor (petrol), f250 gear box to a nissan remote transfer case .then I rebuilt and worked the motor to suit the running gear( gear ratio) .I made and installed a 2 inch suspension lift ,fitted 33 inch tires., I strip the the body of the chassis then abrasive blasted the inside and the underneath of the body and the chassis then cut all rust out of body paneled and primed the body
I then rewired the entire car.

The patrol I now have is a

1992 GQ TB42E
I Fully stripped body so I could panel and repaint it , found the roof was rusty so I drilled out every spot weld then replaced the entire roof (done properly).
I painted the bottom half with a dark metallic grey and the top half Burgundy Metallic pearl both colors are custom .
It was a auto but I pull the auto out and put a manual gear box in.
extractors, 2 1/2 exhuast , dual battery ,
I fitted a 7 inch suspension lift,
then I custom made a long range fuel tank to suit the suspension lift as I removed the rear fuel tank as I am going to get LPG gas tank installed in it .
I also have 35 inch Mud tires on it
I custom made the bull bar and installed a 10,000 pound winch .
2 row 32 inch Cree light bar and the list goes on and on

the nick name of this patrol is Big Red 2
