Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I've done it with just two vehicles before - me in my 4.5 and the old man in his 4.5. However, the 4x4AG were also in the river at the same time. So there were more than just our two vehicles in the river - although we camped quite a bit away from them. I personally just try getting a little further...

Folkses, I'd just like to apologise. As a bunch of people were probably aware, I was doing a fairly epic 5600-odd km trip through Namibia for the past few weeks. Got back on Sunday, and was immediately consigned to a project on-site in Jhb for the next three weeks. As such, I've missed a ton of birt...

Good luck with the pipes. When you replace the pipes on the oil cooler, it is also an idea to make sure it is not blocked. The oil cooler on my father's 4.5 was blocked solid and took an hour or two to get clear again. Not sure about the 4.8's. On the 4.5 there is a metal coolant pipe which bolts on...

Ah, Ive always strapped it around the front seat headrest pole things

I'm sure that could also work. But I believe it's what the "O-griet handvatsel" is there for. Well, that as well as "O-griet" moments...

On a side note, there is a pocket on the back of the bottom cushion of the seat to safely stow the straps when not in use.

This will prevent them from getting jammed in the locking mechanism...

You use them to secure the seats when they are folded forward. Strap goes around the "O-flip handvatsel" on the pillar behind the driver door.

Goeie nuus. Hoop die voertuig het binnekort GP plate. :)

Thanks for the update Leon.

But since I like the balance of an SUV, I agree completely.

I also like SUVs.

But I love my Patrol Station Wagon....

I have bad news. My Namibia project has shifted back two weeks. This means I get back from Namibia around RT time. I am going to have to sit this one out. Jammer.
