One nice surprise I got when I picked it up today was that the dash was charcoal, I was expecting it to be the shyt grey the same as the others I test drove, very happy changes the whole look with the darker dash.

The mods start from Tuesday now as follows -

ARB Air Locker Rear + Compressor
ARB Dual Battery
Steinbauer Chip
3" Exhaust
Bilstein 3" Suspension Lift
ARB Sahara Bar
ARB Rear Step Tow Bar
?? Polaris Sat Nav DVD Touch Screen??? (not sure on brand here)
Spotties ????? not sure which way to go

The wheels I had fitted today (CSA Explorer 16x7 - BFG AT 265/75/16), The dealer organised the leather and they still have to fit the hard cover, I held them off on the hard cover as it is getting a spray on Rhino lining in the ute well.

congrats.. looks good.. now the challenge is to keep it clean !

Welcome to the dark side.

hey babs is that leather interiour standard? do your mudflaps rub with the new rubber? congrats on your new purchase
Troy

I had one like that once, now covered in bush pinstripes

hmmmm!!!!!!
i see another set of virgin side steps ready for bending...
i bet first time offroad you will be saying ," i need a better set of side steps on my to do list"
looks good mate i like it!!!!!
good to see the mods happening straight away
welcome to the club

Troy, no the leather is not standard, though I had the dealer organise it that way it falls back on them if there is any problems, and yes the tyres do rub on the mud flaps, but only just on full lock and entering driveways etc, if I had the same size in the mud terrain tyre then it would be more of a problem as the diameter in the muddies are slightly larger.

Glenn k, sliders will definitely be on the list as the Patrol had them on and they were fantastic, I will take care of it after all these mods are done.

Everyone, thanks for the welcome I really enjoy this forum

congratulations mate. she looks very nice

Congrats Babs !!! & welcome aboard.
