Re: New member looking for 1st patrol

I agree with Peter again, Its purely what you want. What I have noticed on mine, was that emergency stopping a 3t beast quickly is not the easiest thing to achieve. I've had a few different brands of tyres on my Iron Maiden, and some are better than others. Some tyres have a harder compound, so mig...

Re: New member looking for 1st patrol

" With the part time 4x4, is this a case of flipping a switch inside the car for it to change over or is it old school where you have to get out the car and fiddle with wheels? Both the GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models are good old "old school" stick shift. Only the new Y62 I think is electr...

Re: New member looking for 1st patrol

Welcome Jody That's the first I've ever heard of a Patrol oversteering on wet roads. In my experience, they need serious provocation to do that. Having said that, the Patrol is a part-time 4x4, so it requires a slightly different driving style on the edge. Unlike a full-time 4x4 such as you are use...

Re: New member looking for 1st patrol

Hey guys 👋 Sorry to hop on this post, I thought it made more sense than starting a new thread for the same topic 😂 I’m new to the forum and have been looking at a decent 4x4 - I’ve been quite torn between the 2005 LC 100 and was almost convinced that was the way to go until a Patrol on FB caught my ...
