'97 Terrano II in Oz.

Josh L · 14-08-2012, 11:22

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.

After some light off roading near the Victorian Alpine region.

Maybe if we all save up, we could go with our 4x4s

. It would be fun though

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.
