What elevation are you at there Rick?
Australia is one awesome country. Probably the only country that i want to visit outside the US. There and New Zealand.
Great photos...is that the fires from 2005?
2006 I think it was Jacob.
A few years down the track I've forgotten which fire where.
Burnt trees from the fires in the distance.
Al is that a Nissan Patrol? Thats the other thing. We dont get the "real" Nissan and Toyota trucks like the Patrol and Hilux. You guys get the solid front axles and diesel engines. Nice truck
do you (USA) get 70 series landcruisers? ANOTHER reason why the UK can suck...Al is that a Nissan Patrol? Thats the other thing. We dont get the "real" Nissan and Toyota trucks like the Patrol and Hilux. You guys get the solid front axles and diesel engines. Nice truck
Yes Joe, the Nissan Patrol. Full beam axles, four coils, four discs, 4.2ltr turbo diesel. Brilliant truck.
The track is the awesome Blue Rag.

The best was in the middle and you missed it .
nice country tom trees
Nice ute Joe.
An extra cab like this would be great for work.
So is it independent front end?
Is it much drama converting over to a solid axle with some of the IS vehicles over there?
Yeah, IFS front end w/coil overs. Its a decent setup as far as IFS goes. A few guys have done solid axles, but its a pretty big job. This truck is lifted 2.5" and add-a-leafs in the rear for extra 500lb payload. Also has a rear electronic diff lock, which is very nice.
yeah they suck, toyota have sold themselves out for the elctronics. They were I think the last surviving big company to put out a proper traditional NA diesel with no #####ing ECU controlled motor.78/79 series 'Cruisers are overhyped IMO.
The Patrol has a beefier driveline as well.

Also, I don't think the 75s are/were over-hyped. I tihnk they were all they were cracked up to be. Why else do all the big pastoral companies run them in the outback? And I've never heard patrols stacking up extreme tails of endurance as 40 series 'cruisers.
But I still think HJ47 takes the award of the #1 ever.
