Hello everyone!

Yesterday i picked up my first Patrol. It is a 1998 model (Y61) (is it called GU in Australia?)
As this is my first patrol, i dont have much experience with them from before, and hope that you on this forum can help me with some issues i wonder about.

I registered here because it is not many norwegian forums with this kind of expertise :)

My patrol is completely original and in good condition. The only thing done to it so far is a bull bar(?)
and a chip. (Its a 2.8TD-6 by the way)

My plans are a roof rack with worklights backwards so far.

I am gong to make a question-thread in the electrical-part of the forum, but may as well post it here as well:

In my patrol there is just ordinary 1-DIN cd-player, but i am going to mount a rear view camera, and want a 2-din player with a screen for that. I have seen someplace on the internet that a similar patrol had a 2-din frame, and wonder if anyone know where i can get such a frame?

Looking forward to any answers you guys might have :)

Here is a pic of my Patrol :)

P.S. Sorry for my bad english, please have some patience and correct me if i am wrong :)

Thank you, I am not exactly sure what you mean? There is some offroad trails around, but sadly not many around where i live. But i live on the country, so there is plenty of tractor roads and sand/rock mines around to drive in. In the winter there is of course alot of snow to :)

thanks HitMix. Exactly the detail I was looking for.

I have no real idea about Norway, except that parts of it I have seen on TV and movies are beautiful, and it gets cold.

You are right about that, it is very beutiful, and very cold too :p now it is about average temperature (14-15 C below) Last year at this time it was around 20-25 below..
