As with many other I'm a convert from a 100 Series Landcruiser - so very excited and apprehensive!

Next step will be modifications. Current list in priority order is (please feel free to comment on order or modifications):

- Dual battery system - cold beer 1st priority
- UHF - I have a IC-440 - any installation tips?
- Roof rack - wife is "packing challenged"
- Bull bar - waiting for ARB but ECB certainly looks good?
- Lightforce spotties - not sure how good the standard lights are
- Winch - not sure about this - only used my Landcruiser winch twice and only once for me!
- Rear storage - needs to be easily removable cause want to keep the 7 seats.

And that will do me - probably take a few years to do everything!!!

Michael

Congrats Michael, I am one of those ex LC100 owners. You will notice a big difference in comfort, and depending on which motor you chose, a difference in power.
You will also find that you want to keep driving after you have arrived where you were going.
Happy motoring, Craig

Congrats Michael.

If you got Bi-xenon headlight's I doubt you'd need spots

Excellent. It seems ages since we have been out. Now to start some real testing. I just need to vacuum the sand out of mine before the next adventure.

Well done, you won't regret the change to disco.

Congrats - you will love the D4. I am a complete convert being ex-Nissan & Toyota.

Something to consider if you do decide on the winch:

• If you buy and fit the winch at the sametime as the bar from ARB, it will cost an extra $85.
• But if you buy and have the winch fitted at a date later than the bar fittment, you will be up for the $85 winch fitment charge plus a bar removal & refit charge of about $250-$280.

Top stuff Michael,

I echo everything the other guys have said and I too am an LC100 convert. I've had my D4 since June and there hasn't been a single second of regret. In fact most of time is taken up with a cheesy grin about 200% bigger than this one....

Oh, no regrets except for trying to keep those multi-spoked wheels clean!

Regards,

Ron
