Greetings folks, Patrol owner from Scotland here
Picked up my girl last March, a 2004 3.0 SVE GR with 69,000 miles on the clock and have put around another 20,000 miles on the clock since then!
Only repairs have been the last section of the exhaust (reckon it was the original anyway) and a new fan belt... all other tinkering has been my own doing!
Done a wee bit of offroading in her down in Wales with some mates and had a session on an offroad site near me with one of the instructors sitting in the passenger seat (Bring Your Own Vehicle Offroad Lesson - best birthday present ever!) but offroading in Scotland 'aint as easy as down southThe offroad site I mentioned offers yearly membership though so the plan is to buy that when I have some spare beer tokens.
Mod wise, so far I've got rid of the sidesteps (or gaysteps as Makeitfit would call them- fairly certain he's a member!), removed and blanked off the rear bumper lights and fitted euro spec ones in the boot pillars, fitted an oil pressure gauge as I'm fed up of the high oil pressure switch going on the fitz and my favourite mod... fitted an ARB winch bumper and superwinch EP 9.0 with synthetic rope (ideally would probably have been a bit higher rated but it's a good brand and it was an opportunity too good to miss, plus I've got a snatch block I can use with her if need be). I've also got LED worklights and a directable Hella worklight mounted on the bumper bullbar.
Looking forward to contributing as best I can. This is my girl...
