Hi Guys, In love with a Patrol Y60, LWB, YOM is 1984! Not sure if this is a good decision because 1. Level of maintenance that’s going to be required over the next few years – I know it’s hard to tell w/o inspecting the vehicle but we’re talking about a 1984 Y60 which has been running on local roads for the past two and half decades! How’s the parts availability? 2. Ability to resell it in few years for a decent amount 3. Suitability for day to day use (especially in terms of fuel costs) 4. Wife has threatened that she’s gonna take public transportation whenever I drive this – Don’t worry I got this (I think)! What do you think? Few more questions if you got a minute! I intend to do a few modifications: - Replace the front and rear bumpers with steel winch front bumper and steel rear bumper. - Add a snorkel - Replace the current set of wheels with aggressive mud tires – not sure about the size need to check on this. What do you recommend? 5. Where do you think I should look for parts? 6. What are the reliable places where I can get a good job done? 7. Will this reduce the resell value? (I have this bad feeling it can!) Looking forward to hear from you! Thanks for reading my post. P.S. I already read a few other threads on Y60s but I couldn’t gather much on the above questions. AF79
