hey mate, i picked it up absolutely free which makes it all the sweeter. the old man was going to flog it off but told him he's dreaming so i ended up with it
a few bugs flicking across ya bonnet will be the least of ya worries when ya take it wheeling, bush pinstripes and dents the size of ya fist are something to look forward too
Bit of an update, have finally got my 4inch lift in running suspension stuff flexy coils, superflex arms, and all the other superior steering arms/panhards, etc. running EFS elite shocks until my Fox's arrive from the US.
put my 35inch Km2's on on king steelie's. installed a Redarc dual battery system which im very impressed with.
also got my barwork done, installed my millweld commercial bar and XLR8 sliders, and a few other bits and pieces have been done as well.
replaced all the soundsystem with alpine and hertz gear. type x's in the front doors, r's in the rear doors and some hertz 6x9's in the rear. threw in a couple of type R subs and couple of alpine amps under the seats.
looking into some rear drawers/ false floor and an LED light bar (suggest a good 20 inch one) and hopefully very soon a cross country intercooler and better fuel pump to increase the boost
ill get some good pics up when i remember my photobucket password :headwall:
nah slides right on only problem i ran into was only the driver side had a plate with nuts welded onto it for the bar to bolt onto but the passenger side didn't. (where the recovery point bolted on) so i had to knock up a plate for the passenger side chassis rail to bolt it on. otherwise piece of cake!
cheers mate, yeah the number plate will go there, just didn't have any bolts to bolt it on so i cable tied it there to drive it ha, and that's as dirty as it will get until there's rain! and i get longer shocks...
Oy! Im currently on a trip across the US and have been pushing my patrol quite hard. I'm finally in the south but took her up the mountains where it was very cold and very windy; so much that my hard cranking led me to rebuild my starter because i was having problems. Here are a few pics so far...
Hi all. I am new to post in this forum although hope to be more of a regular as I'll no doubt be in need of some expertise soon ;)
I bought my Y61 TB48 two door manual brand new three and a half years. Having played around with tuning on the stock ECU, headers, exhaust and intakes (seeing a max...
Having owned several Patrols, all diesel, MK, MQ, GQ, GU, and sold all of them except a ZD30 GU with self-rebuild engine, I have decided to go back to a TD42 GQ, because of two reasons.
1. Cherished memory of driving a TD42 GQ to Simpson Desert, Fraser Island, around Tasmania, and many other...
