    How to set your Patrol up for different uses

    I'm currently writing up a doc for how to set your Patrol up for different uses. I am thinking of the following categories:

    1. Daily driver
    2. Touring
    3. Towing
    4. General off-road
    5. Extreme off-road

    I want to post this up as a general guide for all so need your help. Firstly - should I include any more categories? Second - what's your thoughts on mods/equipment commonly used in each category? I know there is no one size fits all but there is a certain baseline for each category. If you post or PM me your thoughts I'll compile it with pics to post back to the NP community.

    More thinking the standard stuff. Seems to be a lot of questions from new people about what should I do to my Patrol if I want to use it for.......

    Hey guys - thanks for the responses so far. Do you think the 5 categories I have listed cover it? Don't want to make it bigger than Ben Hur but I think that would cover 99% of people?

    I think that should do.
    The only thing that comes to mind is maybe a sub heading to do with terrain

    Hi mate - yeah that makes sense. Different wheels, tyres, setup, etc for different terrain types. Hmm - it's coming together now.
