Hey again guys, just wanted to tell you that I sold my R50 Path (family use) and am now the proud owner of a 2000 GU Patrol. Its got the TB45E gasoline engine (4.5 lt in line six with 205 Hp), H260/H233b solid axles on coil springs, already equipped with 33x12.5R15 tires (factory comes with 16") and Rancho 9000X shocks, the rest is bone stock ...





My idea is to leave it for family raids (my HB can be used for harder wheeling), but still want something like these OZ Patrols .... I already ordered an ARB roof rack especially for a Patrol to Australia.-





Anyways, the Nissan team in my home still remains in shape

Nice.

Way to tease us again with the good stuff you can't get here in the U.S.

yeah really... soo jealous

Makes my mouth water... Why won't Nissan sell something like that to us!

Cause they don't want a factory solid axle on coil sprung, electrically locking differentials, electronically disengaged sway bars, 6 in line or 4 turbodiesel direct injection engined, cooler in the armrest equipped, size as a 4 door Tahoe, 3 row 8 people, Nissan SUV in the market , ...

I hate you...
They get the patrol, we get the armada..... real fair trade-off...

Cool Patrol....I drove a SWB GU while in Colombia. It had the 3L intercooled TD diesel and was a manual. Sure was an awesome truck....

I also am not happy we don't get new Patrols here.

Yeah the 3.0 direct injected Diesel (ZD30 DDTi) is a gem of a turbo engine. Almost 100% of the european Patrols are diesel and almost 80% of the australians are also. Gasoline engines, the 4.5 lt (mine, the TB45E) and the new VVT 4.8 lt (280 Hp) in line sixes are really thirsty engines... but hell ... mine is also stick

Where's the emoticon for drooling?

Here

eheheheheheheheheh

Those are waaay cool rigs. I am jealous,

Here's a small upgrade , a really nice and strudy ARB roof rack, good for 500 lb load capacity. I'm wiaitng already for my 4" lift kit I've also ordered ... pics will soon appear ...

JP, you are a grub

I love that rig; I sure wish we could get those here in the US. Looks real nice with that rack too. The 4" lift will be great! Can't wait to see some action pics.

They look SOOO much like a big FJ.
