Hi Community. Just joined up to learn and share some info and be part of the Patrol community in Oz/
T Rukus is a 2005 Y61, pretty much entirely rebuilt and modified last year and and you folks know, evolution and maintenance is on going.
My dad named him Tee Ruckus (as my dad likes his finny nick names)as he was big like T Rex and noisy makes a ruckus and it sounded sort if like Truck...so the name stuck.
Cheers:trink13:
I guess for a second post I better figure out the pictures function and add some Trukus pics to introduce him.
and mandatory donk shot!

New to the forum, been around 4x4s for a bit, so may have some handy things I can contribute from time to time, and even more important learn some new stuff too!
Welcome mate, Your pics look great, start a Members Ride thread and post there as they will get lost in the Intro section. You need to check out @PeeBee 's thread for the Supercharger on the Chev. he has a pretty sik build thread here.
I wish the GQ had that sort of clearance between the front of the radiator and the inside of grill, Great looking install, not a rats nest like mine.Quote:

Again, thanks for the friendly welcome folks.:cheers:
I did see Pee Bees build thread and it is indeed on the to have a decent read through list of things to do, and yes, if the admins dont mind duplication, I will get onto a members ride topic tomorrow.
As for what I want to spend on Truckus, we are reaching that point where we do the cost vs benefits assessment.
At the moment he still has long warranty, so not changing anything for the time being, as he does a pretty decent job as a touring tractor, and I have no plans to look a making him a dragster:icon_driving:
As for asking questions I have dropped in a couple and no doubt will ask more when the need arises, as I am still learning all the things Truckus can do and wont do and getting used to his tricks.
Cheers Adz (and Truckus).
