Hey All,

Picking up my brand new MY19 PXIII WILDTRAK(Magnetic) around the mid Feb, my wife has finally got her way and I have sold my Nissan Patrol TD42Ti ute.
Currently it is sitting with ARB…got delivered today. Car has been ready since Mid December, but have been patiently waiting for ARB to sort their development of the accessories out and the day is finally nearing.
So far I have had electronic rust protection fitted (CouplerTec - 4WD Extreme Heavy Duty System Model), the past week it was just getting window tinting and underbody rust protection treatment. There is a salt mine in my town and the trucks deliver it to the port on the main road…so can’t be to safe with getting as much rust protection as possible. Not to mention all the good fishing spots involve going across some swamp like salty tidal marshes.
Now the exciting gear is getting assembled to the vehicle over the next two weeks. It's been a long wait but I will be picking her up with;-
- Colour Coded Summit Bullbar/Front Rails/Side Steps/Rear Summit Bar
- ARB Intensity Spot/Flood Lights
- XRS-330C UHF & AE4705TP Antenna
- Safari Armax Snorkel
- Redarc Tow-Pro Elite
- Long Range Fuel Tank
- Front Air Locker
- CKMA12 Compressor Kit
- Baintech PowerTop V3(Removable/Portable)
- Airbag Suspension
All to be controlled by the new LINX Interface System.

I will post a picture when I pick her up.

The UVP & Recovery points were meant to be installed on the build, but unfortunately they are still currently under development and I will have to wait a little bit longer :(

I also have an iDrive ready to be installed, am going to wait until I rack up a few KM’s before I install it to see if I can really notice the difference.

Very interested in having a look at the Forscan and what it can unlock, can anyone confirm that it will operate with Windows 7. As my wife and I only have MacBooks and I run a Windows 7 interface through mine.

Plenty of ARB gear. Body Protection, Underhood gear, Rust Protection and there is more than a few nice to haves. But there is always something else that needs to go on it.

Hi and welcome.

It all sounds good and it should be a great vehicle.

The iDrive is a great gadget, I wouldn't be without mine, U2 to 4 I find best, but in sand I go to Eco4.

Forscan will work with Windows 7 & a dongle to suit is available from the forum online shop.

Thanks Ross for the info and welcoming, I have heard good things about the iDrive...pretty keen to have a play. Heard it’s much more responsive under the foot.
