Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Thanks for the feedback guys

Thanks hugejp,

Would you agree with Michael’s estimate of a 10% loss of power?

Has anyone done a fuel consumption comparison between running 33’s and 35’s?

The spare is stil...

Hi guys. I am also keen to try something similar and have been looking at options for a while now. I like the idea of the steel "window" in your pics, particularly for security and durability etc. I am building a drawer system that will be quite tall and a lot of the useful space between t...

Do you have any pics?

HI All,

This vehicle is no longer for sale as a recent twist of events has resulted in me having to keep it.

I am trying to find a way to deal with the disappointment!
