I recently purchased a new-to-me 1990 3-Door Nissan Patrol GQ/Y60 SWB, 4.2, Diesel and figured I'd start a build thread right away. I was late to the game with my FJ.
The first thing I did to her was remove the Mustang emblem (shaking my head as to why this was even on there) and gutted the interior driver side door.
The first stage of my build will concentrate on the following:
1. Attending to key engine and structural needs
2. Complete refurbishment of the interior
3. New lights, front and rear, washer blades, etc.
4. Blacking out the wheels (or replacing them)
5. BFG KM2s
My overall build strategy: dependable and capable overland vehicle used for weekend getaways, accessing remote trails for trail running with my Ridgeback, and 2-3 week-long expeditions that involve highway and backcountry access.
