Just thought I'd put up a bit about my troll and what's been done/on the to do list.
I had a 1979 XC Falcon 500 ute, pride and joy, and after having an offer made on it that I couldn't refuse, I started 4x4 shopping.
Love Patrols, had a GQ previously with 7" lift and 35" Cooper STT's.
Wanted something a bit more modest in lift and also something newer.
Found this series 1 GU just around the corner from where I lived, October 1998, one owner, dual fuel TB45E powered wagon.
Absolutely standard apart from a set of Pro Comp rims.
Since picking it up, it has had...
- 305 70 R16 Summit Mud Hogs
- 80ch UHF
- Rock sliders
- Aux fuel tank upgrade to 80 litre
- Full length roof cage
- Rear LED light bar
- Double din MP3/USB/Bluetooth head unit
- Reverse camera
- Pacemaker extractors and full 2.75" high flow Beaudesert exhaust
- ARB twin swing away wheel carrier
Next on the list (hopefully over the next 3-4 weeks)...
- 2 new rims for spares
- Snorkel
- 3" or 4" lift (can't decide but will have to in the next day or two as booking in this week)
- Dual battery setup
- Awning
The idea is to set it up so it will be a good touring rig, but will also be very offroad capable.
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
