Over the years we added accessories & upgraded parts to enhance its off road capabilities turning it into a reliable touring vehicle towing the Track Trailer Eagle without fault.

    It has only been in recent times that the external bolt on parts have started to fail requiring trips to the Central Coast 4x4 Wreckers for quality secondhand parts like air conditioning pump, power steering pump & power steering hoses. When sold in May 2011 after near 21 years of service, upgrading to the 2011 Jeep Wrangler, it still had the original clutch at 330,000 kilometres.

    Before a 6,000 kilometre trip in September 2010 towing the camper, new shocks, brake discs & pads were added for safe travels. Unfortunately the alternator decided to call it a day near Banana in Central Queensland. By the time we were coming into Rockhampton the dual batteries had no charge left & the Patrol stopped. We sourced a new $320 alternator which I installed in a caravan park later that afternoon.

    On 10th of May 2011 we took delivery of our new Jeep Wrangler.
