Hi and decisions decisions decisions

So, I bought a truck last weekend.

Best thing I'd looked at, and I looked at 80 series cruisers (petrol and diesel), GQs and GUs.

I ended up buy a 1998 GU TB45E manual.
250,000kms
Perfect body
Perfect interior
All electrics work like brand new (windows, mirrors, central locking, A/C)
Even the bonnet struts still keep the bonnet open. LOL
No dents/scratches/scuffs/grazes etc underneath, so I believed the seller that he's never used it for tough wheeling, and according to the log books I am the 3rd owner.

I paid $10k for it, which some might say is a lot for a petrol 98 model. But when you see it I hope you'll agree it was a good buy.

It had on it when I bought it:

New 33" Maxxis Bighorns with new ROH black track steel wheels
Near new 2" Raw Nitro shocks and King springs
7" touch screen with GPS onroad and offroad maps installed, reverse camera DVD player etc. etc.
IPF spot lights
Electric brake setup

Since buying it just over a week ago I've already purchased:

12000 pound winch
Steel winch cradle (which bolts to chassis as the truck has the stock alloy bar)
Roof cage
Side awning
Swivel hub rebuild kit
Wheel bearings
All new brakes and pads
All new filters
UHF and aerial
Projector dual battery kit
Tray
Monitor
High light jack
Snorkel
Recovery kit (snatch block, snatch strap, tree protector, winch extension, etc.)
Thumper air compressor
Maxtrax
And a baby seat so the little bloke can enjoy it too. ;-)

Other stuff that I can't remember right now and don't want to look at how little cash I have left from my budget. LOL

Looking forward to rebuilding the swivel hubs, wacking a new front crank seal in it (its got a small leak, but leaks shit me, so I'm fixing it, even if it takes me 2 days to do it) Then having the perfect truck so I can get it dirty, but hopefully not dented.

(There I go with the essay again, can't help it, sorry, LOL)

On a PC, I could see the preview here for a few seconds, then it went back to being a link again. Strange.
I'll investigate.
