Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

At times I am required to run an event or callout from my vehicle as mobile JOC. It is always easier to have a table handy for laptop and taking notes, so with the self made table at the rear I've run an extension cord with multiplug to the rear from a 1000W inverter. It will stay there and I only h...

Welcome, enjoy your Patrol!

Must say, it is a good looking one!

Search on YT on the Ironman channel, they have done a wild coast tour a year or two ago where the gave the GPS co-ordinates of where they stayed.

Attached a GPX file with the points shared.

My first visit was ...

On the inside I added a drawer and fridge slide. The original design was a bit complicated where the fridge slides out and down with the kitchen drawer extended. Great idea, but as I said a bit complicated to execute. So I removed it and went for a straight slide in and out for the fridge build with...

So I realised that I have not updated the progress and additions to my Patrol for a significant period of time.... close to 3 years.... Let's start with the rear/tow bar. I managed to bent the refurbished Burnco rear bar at a SARZA event when I towed a Megabus off a gravel hump the engine in the rea...
