Recently I put together a thread on another forum to celebrate 10 years of ownership of our Patrol so I'll just cut and paste it into here.
Enjoy!
December 24th 1999 we traded our TD42 powered GQ Ti Patrol in for a (then) newly released 4.2 litre turbodiesel GU Patrol ST. Jade Green in colour. After 8 years and 230,000 troublefree kms getting another Patrol was an easy decision.
From the dealer it had a Nissan steel winch bullbar, Milford cargo barrier, ARB roofrack, towbar and weathershields. Drove it out of the delaers yard with about 60km on the odo and on Boxing Day we headed down to Robe SA for some sand dune running in.
Within the first 12 months we added: ARB Dual Batteries, Hella 4000 lights, ARB Compressor, Engel 39L fridge, OME Suspension, Bridgestone ATs 285/75/16, Garmin eMap GPS and a GME TX3400 UHF radio.
Last year we decided that as it only had about 130,000kms on it we would keep it for a few more years. Having made that decision we also knew that a few upgrades would be nice. These included:
Pioneer ipod compatible head unit and speakers
4" lift with Fox shocks and adjustable everything
Front and rear airlockers
New ARB air compressor
Slotted DBA rotors and HD pads
4.375:1 Nissan diff gears (replacing the factory 3.9:1)
315/75/16 MTZs to compliment the new ratios (or vice-versa)
