    My new baby!

    Well I've joined you all proper now! Just picked up my 98 SWB. Nice to drive and all seems good apart from a few niggles. Now I just need to start modifying! Suggestions for mods and the order to do them appreciated

    Love the colour mate, well done!!!

    Depending when the last service was done I would be checking all filters and oils and possibly doing a complete change of everything so you can start fresh with quality oils and filters.

    Depending on what kind of 4wding you want to do I would first get a snorkel to ensure the safety of your engine and to get cleaner air.

    I would then get a good quality suspension and some good tyres...

    LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!!

    First for me too never seen one, nice I likey, IMO do all your mods first and do suspension last and talk to installer what you want to do with truck Billy Goat, or touring ETC
    Then he can tailor to suit your style.

    Theres a white one that runs around up here in QLD. They do look good and think they would have been accepted into the aus 4wd scene very well. Good looking ride mate love the wipers on the lights.

    Thanks guys!

    Yep bar work for sure! I think tyres and snorkle first.

    Not had chance to have a look yet, but will I need a cage for a winch or are they ready for one?
