1998 GU Nissan Patrol TD42
Last time it saw clay before losing the 33s and roof cage to nose into shed easier.
Kids named the patrol early on, this photo was when I surprised them with the custom plates. Once you name something you’re stuck with it right?
Turbo was dusted, could hear comp wheel touching housing and had to go. Bought the Mamba off a mate to put on
July 2020 we took the GU home, the next morning it wouldn’t start haha
Developed the semi common coolant leak between timing cover sandwich plate and block. Full stripped down, cleaned, resealed and reassembled with new water pump, gasket, thermostat and bolts that snapped on removal.
Plan is to instal hyperflex kit eventually but those shocks couldn’t wait so replaced like for like for now.
Was in the process of installing and auto locker (Lokka) in the front to test out when a cheap new in box arb unit came up, jumped on it and installed it instead. Not an overly complex job, will deff be quicker when the rear gets done eventually.
Had to remove roof cage and put stock tires on to allow more to happen in the shed. Most of the build will happen here, some at a mates who has a hoist and a wiz with machining and fab work.
Great view, though the old Jayco didn’t survive the trip….
One of the many times
Ripped off the bull bar to tidy up where the hoops have been cut off
