Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok the time has come to convert to the good old Patrol, been down the hilux path and have learnt my lesson

Now I know ALOT of threads have been started about what to look for when buying a patrol, how much should I pay etc etc etc.

And yes I have been through hundreds of threads thanks to the good old search function. With this link popping up nearly every time!

sounds ok to me. Its not an ex- mines truck, so should be ok. But does it have any service history?

yeah its a bit fair cosmetically, paint bullbar etc but mechanically sounds alright

the mechanicals are what you should worry about

Know of a good GQ Auto Turbo with heaps of goodies for $13k going

nah the body's what you need to really worry about! why's it been repainted? has it been (excuse the pun bruce) bogged to death and painted over? mechanicals are a bolt-in bolt-out replacement. you can't unbolt rust!
