    Newbie

    Hi everyone, this is my first chit chat with other people on the internet apart from Facebook & emails so please forgive me for not knowing all the liitle abbreviations.
    Apart from that I'm looking forward to learning from & sharing with everyone as I've checked out a few posts on this site & it looks like everyones really knowledgeable, freindly & willing to help others with tips & advice.
    I've just bought my 1st 4wd which is a 2008 Patrol GU IV converted from a wagon to a dual cab tray back.
    I put a lot of thought into exactly what I wanted & what suited my familys lifestyle/budget & so I waited 2 1/2 yrs till I found the car of my dreams... Worth the wait.
    She's a bit rough round the edges as it came from a minesite in QLD via Victoria to it's new home here in the Pilbara W.A. but a few dints here & there don't bother me as I plan on using it for what it was designed to do & not spend her life on the tar.
    I can't wait to get her out & about once I've fixed the few small issues she has (which is where all you guys come in) & I hope to share my experiences back to you all.
    All my life I've wanted to get into 4wding but now it's finally a reality & can't wait for the experience to begin.
    Any tips or advice would be appreciated & hope to chat with you all soon.
    P.S, I'm a refrigeration/air con mechanic (not much experience with patrols yet) but if I can help with any advice I'll do my best.
