BUT ..... I have said this many times before on the forums.... A Patrol, irrespective of Y60 or Y 61 does make one a lazy driver. Ok with the GQ's with limited slip diffs, it is a little more difficult, but very often, Grant, Christo and myself, try take the most difficult line and you cannot believe how forgiving the Patrol is. A few months ago, at Hennops, my brother in law, who has never driven my Patrol, and had virtually no 4x4 experience, took my Iron Maiden up a rocky steep incline that even Driko ( Grootseun ) had minor issues with ( VIVA 4.2 diesel ......
), and he could not believe how easily he made it up without incident.So in short..... Remember, believe in your Patrol..... She will forgive you and even help you grow confidence to feel how 3 tons of power can skate over obstacles like an ice skater over ice. The first few obstacles will possibly cause your boxer shorts to evolve into a g-string...... but you will look back afterwards and VERY proudly say " Now that wasn't so bad "
Afterwards we will sit back, over a beer and have a few laughs about the shaking hands and kneecaps.....
and you will be surprised where and what that Patrol can do. You initially will chicken out before the Troll's limits are reached. The Nissan guys are only supportive so try what you feel comfortable with and ask for assistance.
