He'd be up the steepest muddiest hill he could find grinning from ear to ear no doubt :)

Hey guys - sorry - must confess been a little "occupied" with the new toy tonight! And I can hear the groans already but to top it off left my camera at work so can't post any more pics tonight. Nearly 500kms done already - and I know there is conflicting beliefs around running them in or not - but only took her up the *gentlest* of tracks this evening. Can't let her feel like she's going to be a "Toorak tractor" or "Mossman mum's car"!!
Gotta say I am well impressed with it so far. Clutch is maybe a wee bit long for my liking - fair bit of travel before friction point and the brakes similarly need a good bit of pressure.Things I like are that is has a fair bit of zip compared to what I'm used to - but have to be careful to keep the revs under control. Haven't really felt the VDC kick in (OK - haven't tried that hard), rear lockers are nice, and for a stock suspension seems to have a nice amount of offroad travel, good highway feel and comfort and clearance so far has been fine.
Gotta get used to having a "back" on it after the ute, visibility suffers a little bit with the third row seats up (but they'll come out anyway). Another thing to add to the list is new tyres - the A/Ts on there (Bridgestone Duelers) are OK but need a bit more offroad bite. Rear air-con button is tucked a little low for easy access - but I'm just being picky now.
All in all couldn't be any happier with her - another 400 ks and back for the service. In terms of the dealership also couldn't be happier. For those who might have had similar questions to me here's some things I have found:
* Factory bullbar is made by ARB and seems the goods - never had any issues with Nissan bars before and this seems to be the case again
* "Factory" winch is a Warn XD9000 - and yes it is mounted upside down (as it always is in the Nissan bars) and the cable does come off the "top" of the drum but the load brake does work because in reality the cable still comes out of the bottom of the drum as its upside down
* The winch fitting is nice and tidy with the control box under the top of the bar - so no protruding controller
* Factory towbar is neat as a pin - and wiring, etc has been done well
* Winch wiring is spot on
* Snorkel mounting is sound and appears to be sealed well - however it seems like the intake tube runs inside the front quarter panel and then connects to the air-filter
* For an under the bonnet that has less room than I don't know what there is a perfect spot for the second battery - but once that's in getting to anything under there is a feat for small hands!
I'll give a better update once the weekend is over - off to the Glasshouse Mountains this weekend - but so far so good and couldn't be a prouder dad of a new 'troll. Oh how the credit card is going to suffer over the next couple of weeks! Thanks guys and gals for putting up with the last 6 days - but plenty more to come!
