Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Posted: **23 Nov 2014 21:09**

Hello allemal

Het die naweek Eshowe Round Table se 4x4 trippie gedoen ons was so 5 Patrols , Brett - Safari LDV, Jules - GQ, Pierre - GQ LDV, Donald - 4.8 GU en Pieter - 4.8 GU. Hierdie trippie is al sedert 2001 n jaarlikse instelling en hoofsaaklik beperk tot Tafelaars, Oud Tafelaars (41'ers ) en uitgenooides. Weereens n great trip gewees met uitdagings wat so tussen grad 4 - 5 kan strek . Ongelukkig hierdie jaar het een van my vriende sy Colt bakkie gerol en ons is net dankbaar teenoor die Here dat hul geen skade gehad het nie, die bakkie 360grade gerol en weer op bande geland. So n ongeluk gebeur in n oogwink.

Hierdie vind plaas in die heuwels buite Eshowe op plase asook Tribal land . hier is so klompie prentjies

Fotos kan altyd misleidend wees, maar is gewoonlik erger as was dit lyk.
So daardie helling uit lyk redelik kwaai vir my.
Wat is die skade op die Colt. Kon hulle by die huis kom met die kar?

Some more info en prentjies

Colt drove home ( about 100km ), we suspect malfunction of brakes as well as possible clutch.

Overall the Patrols just kept taking everything in their stride, truly magnificent vehicles we drive. All of us were also much impressed with the Gelandewagen . this military vehicle just kept going , amazing what a difference lockers all over ( front,middle and rear ) can make , when we thought it will run out of steam it just got stronger !! amazing.

The articulation of our vehicles amazed everyone except obviously ourselves, the raw power of those 4.8 are still giving the other guys nightmares. Pierre GQ LDV with front and rear lockers was also unstoppable and the ease with which he conquered the heavy stuff might change my mind to install a front locker.

Hier is nog so paar prentjies
