Introducing my self and my Patrol

[macorti]

G Day,
I would like to introduce my self, I'm from Costa Rica and I have Y60 from 1990, it's a SWB TD42, it is almost stock as you can see besides the 32x11.5R15 Maxxis Big Horn tyres, but I would like to get some 2" or 3" lift, snorkel, and some other stuff, what happens is that here in my country all that kind of gear is not cheap at all, and my rig has almost 350 K's on the clock.

At the bottom you can see some pictures of my rig, I hope you'll like it and what ever opinion you guys will have in order to improve my rig is more than welcome.

welcome mate!

you asked about a couple of mods

suspension wise i would check out dobinson springs, it should be well under a $1000 for a 2-3"lift including shocks cheaper if you install yourself
I resently installed them in my lwb gq and am very happy with them.

if you want to keep some mud off the sides install a set of flares, often cheap on ebay.

snorkel can also check out ebay then take to a crash repairer or 4x4 shop to install or do it yourself if you are confident enough

also have a good look around the rear sliding windows they have a habbit of rusting out and leaking, for some reason when replaced with solid non opening windows they dont have the rusting problem.

rear control arms are quite thin and dont stand up well to punishment so you may consider replacing them dont know what they are like on ebay but advertised for $150 and rock sliders are also good to help protect the body if you want to do some more extreme off-roading

again welcome and have heaps of fun with your very capable rig

advertised on the forum are lots of meets so join in
