Great set up mate
I just read trough the project! You got a stunning GQ mate! :D
Well its back on the road.....
Why You ask???
Well i dropped it into a hole out the back of Narbathong a few weeks back :( And it killed the Clutch :( so that was a bit of an issue :confused:
So off she went to PatrolApart like this.......

SO they bung an Exeedy Heavy Duty item in there :) should last now! I should hopefully have some photos soon of the bog hole. This photo shows the mud line on the back door...Follow it around the car and thats how deep it was haha. I ripped the interior out and cleaned it all. But much to my surprise there was no water that had seeped in! Couldn't believe it just a little mud under the carpet from holes in the floor :)

So when are you putting on that mypatrol4x4 sticker????? *LMAO*
Great pics as always Matt......
Are you still running the ipad setup? any changes 2 the setup?
Hi Mate,
I just spent the let hour going through all your photos on this post, i am so jealous that you have the ability to do all that stuff on your own.
I am just organising my stereo setup now and was curious to know how you went about putting those subs in the rear 1/4 panels. Also have you had to put in new Radius arms in with the 3" lift?
Mate she looks good, keep up the good work
Cheers
Lance

I swear I saw you today coming into Yarra Glen from Christmas Hills on the way home around 6pm....LMAO
I was in the GU though so you didn't even look at me...bahaha
Great ride mate! love reading all the updates! inspires me to do things to mine!

Well its been quite a while but im back into it with my patrol! Distractions are all aside!!

Looks tough mate. Are you going to have protection under the 1/4's as well?
Welcome back stranger, thanks for the update Mat, I always like to see your updates :)
Not too sure yet, I think ill just leave them for a while and cut them if i bend them....Room for bigger rubber then :)Quote:
