GU Noob Q's
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 12:18 am
Hey Guys,
Have just purchased a 99 GU Patrol 4.5 petrol, auto as a temporary means of transport.
The plan is to keep it relatively stock (read bolt on mods) so that when i sell it the vehicle can go back to stock if needs be. Also have my Hilux as an offroader that i don't have to respect.
I think it has 2" coils now, not 100% sure, does anyone have the standard height measurement for a GU petrol from hub to guard?
Items already fitted:
Extractors
Snorkel
Bar (alloy shiny junk)
Lights
285/75 BFG Muds
Some bling wheels i fitted today
LPG
Looking at fitting:
Coil spacers or new coils
Winch and winch bar
Swaybar disconnects - which ones are best to use?
K&N / Finer filter
Front locker
Rear drawer system (will fabricate myself)
Maybe a Toob rear bar
Roof rack
Higher wattage headlight globes - how high can i go?
Radius arm spacers - do i need them? if not should i put them in anyway?
Things to fix:
Interior lights don't work
Sub tank (petrol tank) gauge sticky
Sub tank light in switch does not work
Need spare key (Nissan want $75, any other suppliers?)
Keyless entry remote busted
Is there anything i need to look out for on this car? I've got all of the parts to do a major service which i will do Saturday. Any tricks?
Sorry to jump in and ask so many questions, have read through the bible, many of the threads date back a little while so i thought there might be some fresh ideas.
As i fix and fit the items above i'll post up as to how i go.
Feedback appreciated.
Regards
James
