As purchased my '06 TD42i was a slug. Stock standard with just over 150k on the clock. The motors are very 'tuneable', but beware of overdoing it as it becomes a money pit, which increases the...

I was thinking the same. How many cars actually come fitted with recovery points? Sounds more like tie down points?
Ta. No, just an amateur birdwatcher. I enjoy (mostly) the challenge of photographing them. Has all the elements of hunting except for the killing.

Wishing you a speedy & pain free recovery Tony.
Thanks from me too Andy. Like a few others I’m no longer a regular poster here any more, but I still look In regularly because this forum , like for others, has been ‘community’ for me, far more so...
A new post to the blog today. We are now exploring in the East Kimberley having spent 6 weeks getting here from the Darwin area. Plenty of crocs & boabs..... & a bit of bull dust

I had an ARB OME shock fail on the rear of our Patrol after only about 5000kms (albeit fairly hard kms). I sent photos & receipts to them & they said they would replace & fit, but as we were up on...
Hard to beat. Ours had a 3" exhaust + a mild dyno tune (13.2psi) & was otherwise stock. Much nicer to drive than stock, but with stock reliability.
I find it far more comfortable than our Patrol to sit in, primarily due to a more upright sitting position. The Patrol's seats were very close to the floor making for a 'bent' sitting position, which...
