Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Do understand though that the window is limited. Probably only about 3-4 months of the year when it can safely be done. It will be very dangerous in the rainy season. Some decent rain 100's of km away can make the river flow, and if you are in it you probably won't be able to escape. There's a reaso...

I think it depends on how awake and aware you are. And in terms of getting stuck and/or un-stuck, this depends on how prepared and risk-averse you are.

I don't have an accurate water temp gauge ( madman ) etc, so can only speak from the standard dash gauge. On mine it never goes up passed halfway.

Can't really fit a bigger radiator in there. Theoretically, if I could move the intercooler and air co...

Combined tar road consumption there and back was 7.65km/l wnd consumption for the off-road bit was 5km/l. For the first half my tires were too hard though (1.4 front and 1.6 rear) wh...

Nee JP man, jy moet fokus.
