Proper bullbar.  Currently have the factory standard ( pedestrian friendly, you know the rubber coated thin Steel version).  Nutted out a 4x4 place in Smythsdale that will install a Discovery 2 bull slightly altered to suit the Range Rover $1600 installed and endorsed.  So that's next, then a a winch possibly the Ironman one, but open to suggestions as I'm not very up to date on the good vs Bad.  I have heard good stuff on Warn, but are expensive.

Well i use a 12,000Lb Ridge Rider & have not had a problem yet & i give it absulute Hell in fact on one day alone it coped an Absulute flogging like about an hour & a half of work & it is still pulling very well i striped it down the other week & all is still clean & dry even after being put through Water, Sloppy mud.

That just my 2 cents worth.

I'm running a warn 9,000lbs at the moment, has been alright the few times I've had to use it, but i had a good look at the mean mothers at the explore aus expo, and they looked like an awesome bit of kit.

I have just put a duel battery and 2" lift.  This was steps on my way to getting a winch bar and winch.  I am getting a elocker next week.  With new tyres needed before the tracks reopen in november.  

Snorkel, rear lights (putting hints with the kids for fathers dAY)Light bars, rocksliders and side protection

I still have to finish off my winch, but there is a list for the Patrol

35s when the new Treps come out

4.1s

Front locker

Superior rear lower arms

Icom UHF

Compressor and tank

Sliders

 

That list should do for this year, i am sure at some stage more will be added, still waiting in hope some one cracks the ECU for the 4.8 auto, then there will be power mods too, but THAT seems to be a looooong way a way :(

To make it into a twin cab ute with a proper canopy for the long trips.

 

And, if the boos approves it, Duramax and Allison conversion. Or whatever is the equlivilant when I get the coin.
