    I will also be looking at making the engine not grenade itself ! I read a fair few different opinions about how to rectify so i need to choose carefully .... anyones experience is more than welcomed..... also i live in the Toowoomba region so if there are any known mechanics etc that are actually good..... please let me know.
    Cheers

    Depends what you want to use it for, you can turn it into a Billy goat if that's your thing, or a very good touring set up.
    Remember LED will make life a lot easier these days, as for lights on the roof , you cant go past a light bar,
    Your driving lights {HID} will give you distance.
    Try to keep the weight down as you go, its very easy to have an over weight Patrol on your hands.
    Ask first as there is a hell of a lot of knowledge here on what works and what wont,
    For me an awning and LED strip light is a cheap option for shelter.

    Give MUDSKI a PM for all your NADS bits and pieces.
    First I'd be fitting a boost and EGT gauge to see whats happening under the bonnet
