Brett's Puddle Jumper T31 4WD

I brought my X Trail (AKA Puddle Jumper) in April 2015. I found this web site and joined in May 2015. Then life happened. I saw some really good mods on the site that I wanted to do but I was too busy. 2016 came around and I thought I really need to start on Puddle Jumper.
First thing was a small one
Side weather shields for the front doors.

Then the Side Steps from JTM Auto.

Next was the big one. I had priced an ECB Big Tube Bull Bar. I was prepared to pay this large sum of money as my previous 4 x 4 (Pathfinder) had a bull bar and I loved it. Then enter GumTree.
- ECB Big Tube Bull Bar (near new) with spotlights - $320
- Extra bolts - $60
- Fitting by BNR Hornsby $660
- Total - $1040
This is about a third of what I got quoted for a new one. emoticon

X Trail Forum Sticker and Puddle Jumper on the back window.

As I am posting this Puddle Jumper is at HiTech Mufflers getting a Dual Exhaust. I am very excited about this. I will post picture of of the bull bar and exhaust later today I hope.

Coming from Jalal soon
LED side mirror covers
K & N Air Filter

More mods to follow as time permits will be
Replace the round tail reflectors with LED Tail/Brake (and maybe blinkers) lights. Sorry Jalal for harassing you about this (they look so good on your Red Bull)
Tyre Snake for Spare Tyre air.
Full size spare.
Steering wheel lights.
CB (once I work out where it is going)
Maybe a new sound system.
Maybe new suspension with a raise.

I think my wife thinks I am having a mid life crisis. emoticon

More pictures to come

Some more pictures.

This is the Bull Bar

And the Dual Exhaust from Hi-Tech is now on. It sounds great. The guys are great at Hi-Tech and I would recommend then to anyone.

K & N Air Filter fitted.

LED side mirror covers fitted.

Jalal I know it was an error and you where prepared to fix them but I really love the different colour mirror covers. emoticon

It was a nice to meet you and a pleasure doing business with you.

I am now on the look out for a full size spare (225/60/17).

Re:

Glad you're happy with them Brett and just for your reference, the painter colour-coded them in K21 (Slate Grey) instead of K23, so close but not close enough emoticon

It was lovely meeting you too.

Re: Brett's Puddle Jumper T31 4WD

TJM engine base plate installed. Had to add about 4mm of spacers at the back so it would not touch the engine.

Also have added a Navman Mivue 580 dash cam.
