Greetings from a very happy patrol owner

Hey all,
Just posting to say hi as a new member. End of 2016 I ditched my P.O.S. Mitsubishi Delica and got myself a 2003 GUIII ZD30 Y61 Patrol and I couldn't be happier.
Took it on a trip to the central Australian desert and it was awesome. Took a tonne of tools and recovery gear with me and didn't end up needing any of it haha.
I've since installed a batwing awning, a bigger inverter (3000w!!) and a CTEK solar controller and battery management system for my deep cycle.
Just about to replace my serpentine belt and change the oil and filter ready for a trip down to Tassie.

Cheers guys, look forward to exchanging workshop tips with you all :)

Youre right. Special parking for vehicles over 2.1 m is hard to come by these days and they don't seem to like roof racks at all.

Welcome to the forum. Would be great to hear about your Tassie trip. We recently booked ferry tickets for Early December through to mid March.

With the Telstra pod plus solar panels on top our height is 2150mm & we got booked on as a Nissan Patrol over 2.1m towing low caravan (Tvan). The only state we have not yet been too.

Hello and welcome to the forum, enjoy
be sure you change your belt to either
gates or EO other wise they will just fail
