'97 Terrano II in Oz.
 

G'day All,

My name is Josh, I joined the forum not even 10 minutes ago and have decided I'd do the good thing and introduce myself and my Terrano II.

I'm a panel beater (auto body repairman), I live in Tecoma in the shire of Yarra Ranges in Victoria, Australia. My father in law decided to hand over the keys to his Terrano II as a gift. It's a '97 Ti 2.4. It has no added factory options except for dealer fitted nudge bar and tow bar.

I have fitted a set of little driving lights with HIDs to give a bit more light when out and about. i have just bought a pair of roof rack rails from a wrecking yard that I plan to adapt to the so I can attach some custom built racks. I fitted a UHF CB Radio as it's almost a given piece of equipment on a 4x4.

I also plan to lift the body by 2", fit some 31" mud tyres and build my own front and rear steel bars... For a start anyway. I've included a couple of photos too :)

Cheers,
Josh.

A bit of stock flex for fun.

Hi mate welcome, i didn't know you can get those terranos in Australia. Looks awesome though :thumb2

There was approx. 600 sold here. No idea how many diesel and how many petrol though.

Welcome to the forum.

Love your country by the way, want to come over one day and do some of your trails.

Welcome mate, I wish i lived in Australia ! my mates just emigrated to Darwin !! he like's it sticky and wet :D

same here, i'd love to live their :D

I'd be happy with sticky and wet :naughty

Welcome aboard and same here, even looked into moving across there but Mrs said no:doh

Welcome mate. I thought every one in Oz had Patrol's:D
I also love the look of Oz and would love to come over and do some tracks.

Maybe if we all save up, we could go with our 4x4s:D. It would be fun though:rolleyes:

welcome sport

Hahaha! Sticky and wet, I think I'm going to like hanging around here. Actually, my wife comes from Darwin... :P

Victoria is warmer in the north, but where I live (south/south east) it is cold, wet, damp, muddy... Kind of like an english summer? Lol. Summer is hot, dry or humid no matter where you are in Australia though.

Patrols and Landcruisers (FJ62 was my first car in fact lol) are fair common, but so are Rangies and Landies.

Thanks for the awesome welcome guys.

Excellent, what crime do I need to do to get me there? :D
