.......just popped in for a looksee......all good so far........

I have a Series 1 GU 4.2TD wagon. Bought it new, and will have it until it, or I, expire.
It gets used as a daily driver, set up for touring, and it's also the tug for our Coota camper.

Over the years I've fitted:
50mm lift with Koni's and Firestone air bags
285/75x16 BFG KM2's on Nissan steelies
Beaudesert 3" exhaust
Top mount intercooler with a Bigfoot scoop
TJM front bar with 9.5XP winch and spotties
Kaymar rear bar with dual wheel carriers (have a jerry carrier if the need arises...)
Marks 43% transfer gears
TB48 front rotors and calipers, with extended braided lines
Dual batteries
Rear roller drawers and half barrier
Overhead console with UHF
Pillar pod with boost and EGT gauges

As a precaution, the rear spring towers have been done by ATOC, and 5th gear has been upgraded.

Have I missed anything.........?? That should be enough......

The latest additions waiting in the shed are a new TD05 turbo (16g/large), a PWR radiator, and an Albright solenoid and some Dynamica rope for the winch. Just need time to fit them.

Cheers,
Geoff

Welcome, GeoffAyres!

Nice sounding well set up rig there.

And your opening comment sounds like some Yanks say about their firearms. 'You can have my GU 4.2TD when you peel my cold dead fingers from the steerin' wheel!'

Thanks AB, but in reality it's more of a tourer, with a list of accessories.........

Yeah, I know. I've still got all the receipts, but I'm not game to add it all up.
Not so bad when it's spread over 12 years, but it'd be scary $$ to spend it all in one hit........

Again, thanks all for the "Welcomes".
