There is a What did you do to your Patrol today? (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?8424-What-did-you-do-to-your-Patrol-today!) thread. And there is a few individual build threads.
So I thought, why not a "quick glimpse" thread, to see what else you're going to, or would like to do to your rig in the future?

I think I'm nearly there with my car. More than happy with the power so apart from the inter-cooler, I doubt I'll touch the engine any more. (famous last words)
I'd also like to add:

Rear coil tower braces ...
Maybe a rear bar, Raslarr more than likely
Few suspension upgrades, starting with rear upper arms to help adjust pinion angle
Wire up winch isolator
get clutch replaced
catch can
Better brakes ?
And most importantly I need to get out and use the thing more often !!!

Is it Figjam that has that total rebuild, that would be awesome. Need a lotto win though.

So is this a "how I want my patrol" thread or a "how much the wife / bank ballance will allow" build thread?
Lol.

In seriousness I think the gu will stay mild.
-Exhaust and gauges are next.
-Maybe tillix and dawes valve depending if needed.
-Intercooler upgrade.
-33's
-In body tail lights
-I'm looking at fitting some reduction gears I have at home.

And apart from some interior work I think that'll be it..

Now if we're talking what I'd like.
3" lift
4.3 diff change to run 35's
Rear bar to carry the 35's
Lokka in the front
Full length RTT roof rack
50" roof mounted light bar

Superior engineering front radius arms.
Superiour, rear upper and lower arms.
ARB front locka.
Re-shim rear LSD as a matter of maintance.
Rear tower braces
Also want a Raslarr rear wheel bar, looks like good bit of kit.
Under armor.
Then some crap will happen & I'll be forced to sell my idea of a perfect ride.

1. Win Lotto

2. Buy a mercedes 6x6 g wagon for the luxury family tourer.

3. Buy a Mog and go nuts with it.

4. Patrol probably wouldnt get a look in unfortunately :p

In all seriousness though.

The ute will be sold and most likely make way for a 4.8 wagon. Hopefully as close to if not an 2010 model.

Depending what is has it will get the typical lift. Probably some colour coded bar work. Rear draws etc. And then it will most likely end up with a turbo hanging off of it.

Win Lotto - buy a fully decked out Iveco based Travel Trucks Scrubmaster Expedition Camper (“http://www.traveltrucks.com.au/4x4-iveco-accessories/scrubmaster-expedition-camper-options")

But seeings as I never buy lotto tickets not very likely.

Pretty happy with the way I have the Patrol now, but hope to add an e-locker on the front, & maybe I’d fit some extra underbody protection if some came up cheap.

Finish wiring the EGT and boost gauges. Finish running the aux battery outlets. Finish changing the trailer from 5 stud to 6 stud. Wire the rear work light in. Finish the NADS installation. I'm like those pertable power packs - I start a lot of things.

Tower braces
Snorkel
Diffs shaved and 12mm plate welded in.
Front Locker.
Superior Draglink, tie rod radius arms.
Maybe EFI.
Built in bed with storage under it.
Rock slider/steps.

But just a snorkel would be great.

I've gotta say I think I'm very close to being happy with mine.
Maybe a good set of solid sidesteps. A fresh coat of paint would be nice but I can't see that happening too soon because the first trip out it would be pin striped again anyway.

Yeah portals would be cool. And a dual cab chop too. Lol. Ive been told by the minister of finance that no more big expensenses on the Patrol after the td conversion. Lol. Just gotta figure out how to hide the costs of a chop. Or portals. I wish....

3" exhaust , bigger bonnet scoop to shove more air in , after market rear quarter lights , steel rear bar & spare wheel carrier , front locker , tower braces. There's a fine line between dreaming & reality 😏

I`ve had an email sent to me stating that portal axles aren`t legal in Qld. There must be a way of getting them legal for the wagon.

Lol, do what I did this time last year to my Patrol and $4800 seems like spare change. But it never ends hey. I thought I was getting close after the conversion. Wrong! It just added more onto the list, for the motor though.
Atleast I can cross off the Engineers report, and GVM issues off the list now.
