Hi All,

first time 4wd owner, Perth based with Denmark a 2nd option! hahahaha

Really needed a tow vehicle (shortish trips) and had a limited budget. Ended up with a 2004 4.8L ST auto. 230k's

I'm keen to know where people take their cars for servicing in the Perth (Freo area), some good Patrol wreckers people use and where to get generic consumables like brake parts, bushes etc etc.

Also any good FB based pages I should be part of?

Anything I should know about the car I'm happy to listen - oh, and if I fall in love with it - who do I see about turbo additions and tuning issues with auto's.

Cheers Peter :-)

Hi Peter, tidy looking unit. I don't suppose any of your mates are jealous enough to want one as well? I have one for sale

Cheers

Cheers all :-)

I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions - will try use the search function first though hahaha

A quick one - one of my rear black plastic flares is a bit flimsy - can you just glue them back a bit or do they have dodgy plastic clips?

welcome to the forum Peter, nice looking rig

Robson brothers would be a good start for your servicing, expensive (I have been told), but reliable and do good work

parts...... just have to search Facebook market place - some times a bargain, sometimes not

cheers Big col. I'll probably get in touch for a basic quote.

Patrol wreckers in Perth - might be after a good condition drivers seat.

Hi all - so Ive bent my std alloy front bar.

Considering MCC
Razlarr
xrox

Any other ideas? MCC are nice but about $1000 more, what are you getting for the extra $?

Also - extractors, any significantly better than others?
