My 2005 GU ST ute

[GUte]

Hello guys, my name is Gary and have just found this site

I just recently bought my first Patrol after 3 good years with a D22. Had been looking for awhile and knew this was the one pretty much straight away

2005 ST travelled 168km and paid 28K which I think is very reasonable.
It already has dual batteries
Alpine bluetooth cd player
Manta 3" exhaust. The muffler they used is a traditional design so I will be swapping this to a straight through unit asap!
Also has standard height pedders coils and shocks so it drives very well but I have no idea why he didnt get a 2 inch lift while he was upgrading them!
Turbo timer


All the usual upgrades planned:

Custom Tray (work vehicle so cut down a touch but still has to be functional)
3-4 inch suspension
Sliders
New rims and tyres
EGT and boost gauge
Turbo upgrade and tune down the track

I have already swapped the cast dump pipe to a mild steel one with a bung installed for the future EGT and had a Lock-right fitted to the front diff.






Thanks for looking

Gary

Nice tidy unit Gary. But as you said why not lift it a couple when doing suspension upgrade/replacement.

Welcome to the Forum Gary. Good looking Unit.

Cheers guys.
Im glad I waited as I very nearly put a deposit down on an ex mine site ute but had been advised to stay away from mates that have driven them before!

Nice unit mate, look forward to watching you build her up mate.

The good news is i reckon, that if they did not give it a lift then they were likely towing something with it and it had NEVER seen the bush! Nice job.

Very nice Ute there Gary, I see that you have been giving the Powerlines a bit of a go mate.

Nice looking ute you have there mate , in regards to the exhaust mate i would ditch the muffler altogether , i have 4.2 GU with aftermarket turbo , 3" dump and straight through 3" exhaust , sounds bloody brilliant i reckon
