Thanks for the welcome, the advice re questions is noted.
Here is a bit about myself, the wrong side of 50 the family is the girl(she likes that) and two boxers! I don't have a license for children, we live on the Bellarine in Vic.
The Patrol has some good bits with it.
Tow bar, running boards,.Duel batteries, Factory Bar and warn winch.
Snorkel to go skin diving.
The first trip will be mainly a road trip to the Flinders ranges via Innamincka did I say road.hmmm?
We are travelling with experienced friends with a 2000 Patrol so I will need to prepare, that should happen in March 2014.
With reference to the MQ, now that was a good vehicle we used it mainly for towing the boat, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra,and all over Victoria, Alas age got the better of the old girl and had to go.
cheers ,thanks for the welcome.
