As Peter mentioned earlier, the Y61 Patrol is the kind of beast that has enough electronics to keep you on the road, but not enough to drop you in the ____ if something goes wrong. The Y62 on the other hand is an entirely different beast, and with the FJ being a more modern vehicle the Y62 will compete alongside the FJ. The Y61 Patrol will take you into anywhere and get you out the other side. There is almost a ton weight difference between the Patrol and the FJ, that's probably just the weight of the Patrols solid front diff....haha... but it will have a very different ride feel to your FJ.

100 000Km on a Patrol means it has just run in. Servicing a Patrol is easy to do yourself, or as mentioned there are a few guys in the Cape who can do it for you. I know Frans Fourie in Bellville, as he helped me rebuild my motor myself up in Jhb with valuable information sometimes late in the evening. and I had to visit him and let him tinker a little with my Iron Maiden when I've drove down to visit my folks in the Cape. That man knows his stuff, and bigger gentleman you will never meet.

So... Sell the FJ and come on over to the fun side.

Mine isn't the water one - I do know which one you are referring to though. Mine is black with massive 285 Mud Terrains - usually dirty from some trail or another :)

Thanks for the list. Saved to my records.
