Anyone know who was the kind person who left a copy on on the windscreen of my wife's high roof Y60? http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/95220-Overland-Journal-found-on-my-our-Safari-Windscreen

Our numbers are building - slowly. :elkgrin: I have only seen one Patrol here but there are quite a few of the Japanese market "Safaris" (AKA GQ Patrols). The majority are high roof LWB rigs alought there are a few low roof SWB Safaris and fewer low roof LWB Safaris. Currently I have two high...

I see it is still for sale. Bump for a cool base for an expo rig. :costumed-smiley-007

Fixed it. Not sure what happened. http://www.nissan.com.au/xtrail/turbodiesel.asp

Funny, growing up in the mountains and living here all my life, this is the first time I have ever heard of these fancy things for starting on a hill or going down a hill.

Looks like the Aussies are getting a very fuel efficient diesel X-Trail. Wonder when the Patrol will get a new and improved engine. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: NISSAN TO EXPAND X-TRAIL LINE-UP WITH NEW DIESEL ENGINES Nissan will bring its first turbo diesel versions of the popular X-TRAIL to...

It sure is looking that way Sean. It will be a sad day when Nissan does this. They will cease to be considered a serious 4x4 maker when this happens. I don't see the 70/78 disappearing because they have quite the market for them around the world from developing countries to mines. In fact...

Love the pics from Apr 11. It is a wonder why the Canadian Artic doesn't produce the fastest spinters.:jump:

Very nice.:26_7_2: If only you were closer to BC.

:jumping: :jumping: :jumping: Good to see we are adding pics of other people's rigs. Those patrol tray-backs are cool rigs. Here's two from the other side up and over. 44" tires I believe.

I see the Patrol made top 4x4 in Australia acording to 4wdaction. Seem to be more of a vote against independent suspsensions and the high cost for cup-holders in the 200 Series. Still nothing definite on a new model Patrol. Seems most expect them to follow Toyota on the suspension and cup...

Yes, that is the one. From the 300 SX to the Pathfinder to the Quest it was always the same thing for well over a decade of production. Even when Nissan came out with an upgraded stud, these would also fail over time. Best studs were aftermarkat. Personally, I think it was a problem to keep...

:smileeek: Great find. There are advantages of RHDs at drive thrus also when it comes to nice young ladies at the window who are well endowed. :elkgrin:

Its no problem. You are only shifting the driving position by about 2.5'-3'. The pedals are all the same. The wiper/signals are reversed ( probably the hardest thing to get use to) and you shift with your right hand. I thought the shifting would be hard but again it was no problem.

Wow, at those prices you can buy a lot of other truck!
