Hi All,
I should be the happy owner of a new Y61 GU Legend series sometime next week, so long as my financing goes ok :)
This will be my first Patrol, so I am a newbie on that side of things, but I have been an avid 4wd'er most of my life. I cut my teeth on Seismic and Geological expedition crews back in the 80's,so have worked in some pretty remote area's around Oz.
These days I am more into the touring type stuff with the missus and have just donated my well modded NW Pajero to her, as I want to get back into a live axle, ladder chassis vehicle. I'll pull a few of my mods over from the Pajero, like the Glind shower, Lifepo4 aux battery, drawer system etc and that will get me started on the modding path with this one!
First phone calls tomorrow will be hunting down a GVM upgrade and I may upgrade the rubber at the same time (Need to check the funds first) I actually went into the dealer to trade my Commodore in for a little Renault work van for the missus, and ended up doing the deal on a Patrol hahaha, couldn't turn down the price for the Legend series with the added extra's and I didn't like the price they were offering me for the Commodore as a trade on the little Renault. They doubled the trade price when I asked about the Patrol, so I am a happy camper. Added in the additional warranty to take it to 150k and 6 years and some tinted windows and now just need to wait for final approval and go and pick it up!
Looking forward to learning my way around the Patrol and becoming an active forum participant.
