Re: Why you chose Nissan
I agree with Stefan - the only one better than a Patrol is a fully paid up Patrol

Re: Why you chose Nissan
Kobus it always amazes me how the Patrol seems to get smoother the rougher the road gets.Herrie wrote:My wife also has the same Pajero as Gerrit and last year we went to Kiara Lodge on the back roads. My sons were driving the Pajero end we were in the Patrol. The Pajero could not keep up with the Patrol because of the bad road surface. Comming back my eldest son decided to rather go back on the N3 because the Pajero was very uncomfortable on the bad road. My younger son - that was driving the Pajero to Kiara - joined us in the Patrol. When we got back to Villiers my son wanted to know why I took a different route because he thought I missed all the potholes and could not believe the Patrol drove so smoothly on that road.
Dieselfan I see you are also in Kempies, next time we go playing you must tag along. Mine is old and buggered and certainly not as nice as a 4.8 on the road, but once off it you will start to understand why we love them.

Herrie, that doesn't sound right. Are you sure everything is OK with your Pajie's suspension?Herrie wrote:My wife also has the same Pajero as Gerrit and last year we went to Kiara Lodge on the back roads.

Re: Why you chose Nissan
Hi Gerrit, I changed the tyres from BF's to Bridgestone Dueler A/T's and it is a little better.
Just after we bought it I had the shocks replaced with Monrow's because you battled to keep it on the road when going through a bend and after that it stays on the road easier - but you still feel every little bump in the road.

Re: Why you chose Nissan
It was cheaper and a LOT better looking than the 80 series Cruiser I was considering at the time.....
