First Patrol - ANYTHING/EVERYTHING....

G'day mob!

Jake here - 24 WEST AUS.

After a few years of yakka I've managed to put 20/25k aside for my first 4WD.

Grew up in country QLD (THE ISA) with fond memories of knocking about the top-end with my old man.

92 GQ when I was a wee fella.

Driven/owned just about everything but have always been dead-set on a Patrol.

Won't harp on but would appreciate any/all feedback you might have...

Spends: $20/25k

For: Sand/Coast on the regular - touring/bush during time off

Trans: Pref auto so the missus can get around it

Don't need all the fruit just yet - hoping to add/tweak things over the journey :)

Few that I've come across so far:

G'day mate welcome aboard

Welcome to the forum mate.

G'day Jake and welcome! That's a fair budget so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a decent ride.
Happy hunting!

Hi mate and welcome to the forum,
you'll be better if you delete most of this
and start another thread.. Not many ppl read the
intros. in the mean time ask anything you like
and most of all enjoy lol

G'day mate and welcome to the forum.

Welcome mate..
So $20-25000 will land you a nice crd zd30 or a very nice tb48?

Out of the cars you've picked I personally think that 08 zd30 with 92*** on the clock is the pick pending pictures..

Personally wouldn't bother with Di if you don't need to but 06-07 seem to be safe aswell..

That last tb48 imo is close to double it's worth..
$20 thou for an 03 tb48 with 125*** is crazy.. should be around $12-13000..

Enjoy the forum

G'day Lads!

Appreciate the reply, everyone enjoying the longy?

Have re-posted this in one of the main forums as that seems to be where the action is...
Checking out a couple of cars tomorrow so will keep yas updated :)
