G'day everyone,

Ernest here, checking in from Spain! I've recently joined the forum and thought I'd introduce myself and my rig.

I've got a '98 Y61 Patrol RD28Ti, and it's had a few upgrades along the way:

Snorkel

Custom roof rack (DIY job!)

Roof top tent

Suspension lift running OME NitroCharger Sport shocks

Front springs are actually rear springs from a 105 Series LandCruiser (yeah, you read that right!)

Rear springs are still original, just running +6cm spacers for now – keen to see how they handle for comfort and flex.

Internal drawer system with a fridge, powered by a second battery setup just for the fridge and accessories.

Rolling on 33s (255/80/R17 Cooper ST MAXX)

Wheels are 17x8 with an ET-25 offset.

Looking forward to getting amongst it and learning heaps from you legends. Cheers!

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your Patrol. There a are a couple of things to keep an eye on with the RD28, but they are a great little engine.
