Nice clean canvas, Congrat's L / J. Very nice, but think i would throw some bush bars on that baby. Looks to pretty to scratch.
But it is a Patrol and the bush is what theyre built for.
Well done guys, Hope you Enjoy it as much as the anticipation in waiting for the arrival of your new baby.

Thanks wild98. You know how it is - the first scratch is the hardest - after that it's all fun!

My first scratch was about 300 of them full car length going through scrub. Had to get it polished out, summoned by the gate keeper.

How true is that, my first scrape with a bush I cringed, then got into a bit of mud through trees and got my first minor dent, then it was Hey its a 4x4 that's what there made for lol.Originally Posted by lorrieandjas
I don't got out there to deliberately wreck the beast but if she gets a few injuries along the way so be it, I'm having a great time seeing parts of the country that others less fortunate will ever see,, Enjoy

Hi Tonks - only one in there now so it's on the cranker. On another note - took the new girl out to the glasshouse mountains yesterday. Took the track in Dirty Weekends. Had two wheels off and being a chicken sh@t in the new beast wasn't sure how far the rollover angle would be but got through - but slooooowly! Mud up to the armpits and took some dips and turns I was sure would hang her up but short of the towball scraping (yeah - forgot tot take it off) and a scrape on the stock bar over the tranny no damage. Well a pinstripe or two but they don't count. Man - this thing for a a stock beastie has some torque. In first and low range felt like you could carve up 90 degree mountains. Didn't miss a beat. So, so, so stoked with the new lady. Gotta clean her up now - mud up to her wazoo but a great day out. Nothing like the feeling off rockin' on two wheels. Gonna take a bit to get used to the wider higher car after the Nav but even having it rubbing on the rims and nearly carving out the tyres (forgot they weren't reinforced) she was rock solid. Bloody great ramp over angles and flex was good. Could be better but again not bad for a stock car. Reckon there's not anywhere you couldn't take it after some of the corrugation up near
Maleny and Budederim through the forestry tracks.
Oh - are you meant to run these things in????

This 6 day thing, what we up to now, does this warrant a new thread or is it like the 40 days and 40 nights things.
Straight out of the showroom I'd think tyres would be the weak link, Have to be one one of the better std 4x4 from the show room
There is an imaginary point on your back window you need to remember, most 4x4s will be more capable than any driver. pick this point on the rear window and remember it .it your tilt or roll over point, comes in handy, with the pucker button on the seat covers. You know you've done well well seat covers follow you out of the 4by lol
