South African Products getting noticed in Australia
I thought I will share this link to Unsealed 4x4. It is an online Aussie 4wd magazine that is free to view and download. This month there is a nice write-up about South African 4x4 products in the Australian market. It's good to see there are still some good product development going on in SA. http:...

Patrol Pick-up load box
It is interesting to note that in SA you guys get the Patrol Pick-up with a load box (bak). Here in Aus it only comes as a cab/chassis or with a tray. Do you get a canopy for the Patrol Pick-up over there? Out of interest, how much will a load box (secondhand) and canopy be if it is available? I can...

Turbo for 4.5l
Not sure if it has been discussed previously, but I am interested in finding out if anyone knows of a turbo conversion done on a 4.5l Patrol. Is it worth it if you compare the cost of the conversion with the value of the older Patrol? What increase in power can I expect? Is it recommended installing...
