Working title - new pig

[Touses]

Alright, a little background. After lurking about different forums, haunting googleometer and perusing a thousand magazine articles,
the light bulb clicked on. Nissan Patrol GQ drivetrains were in all opinions the toughest thing (except for army corporals )
that God had placed on earth.

So armed with my epiphany and a modicum of cash I began the hunt for a beast in fair to middling order. Although I wasn't particularly
concerned about the state of the engine it did have to be a 4.2. Finding what was required up here in Gods country was proving difficult.
I had just resigned myself to searching interstate when one surfaced 20k from home.

Out for a look! Bit nasty round the cab, bit of rust in chassis but repairable, donk seized. Perfect!
Odometer says just over 200k but think that is a little suss for 97 model.

BUT LOOK AT THE GOODIES ON IT!

Long range tank
2" Pedders lift with kevlar bags
ARB compressor, lockers front and rear
ARB steel winch bar
Warn winch, synthetic rope
All but new Blacktrak rims with 90% 33" BFG AT's

There was a set of 35" and rims but I passed on them thinkin the local gendarmerie may scowl.

All in all I think I got a bargain. Handed the man 45 cabbage coloured banknotes.

Now, however, the true spending begins. Will be posting more as the dollars begin to burn!
