Hi All,
I have a GU8 Patrol (with Nissan BB and TB),
and I have a quick question....
If you are allowed to make 'one and only one' mod to this Patrol what would that be?
Cheers,

Front locker, whether it be auto, elec or air locker.
Tyres or a UHF not sure which, probably tyres if you are on stock tyres now.
Portals....
Front locker. You have the rear as standard so ithe front/back combinaton would be unstopable
But won't get that far without decent tyres. LolQuote:

Everyone forgot to ask the main question.
What do you want to do with the vehicle?
Touring, muddy tracks or rock climbing, sand, family truckster, etc
But all of the above comments will be needed in due course as you get addicted...lol

I got the second set of tires on it Micky Thompson STZ.
What 'I' like to do:
This will be our family vehicle too so not so much off road look. But we do lots of camping (caravan park for now) and we all do like adventure (riding, kayaking, walking and driving around bushes).
My first plan would be to take the family to a beautiful river (similar to Jamieson - which the other half loves to have bath) which can only be accessed by a 4wd (doesn't need to be too much difficult terrain as it is only a start).
Cheers,
I'd go with a 2" lift if I were you.
Yea, x2.....Quote:

No point with a lift running slicks in the mud.

Tyres are a consumable item, :p, they have to be bought at some stage :DQuote:

Exactly right. No Brainer. Suspension will be there for the next 200,000kms if you buy right.Quote:

So those would never be modified in any way, so the owner wont ask the questionQuote:

TD42T for me. But thats happening. So next is a wicked lift with bigger shoes to boot.
Tyres - they make the biggest change for the least cost
giggle gas. just for the fun of it

Those 50% of vehicles a set of draws to hold the lippy and soccer shirts would probably be the best Mod
