Hi guy's
An update on this project, the vehicle is finally up and running :thumbup: . There are a few small things still needing attension but the vehicle is driving.
What I can say about it is OMG this thing is the most awsom Patrol that I have driven :layrubber: . I thought my LS6 was strong but this thing is unreal
Alan should be collecting it at the end of the month so I will leave it up to him to post some pics.

One thing,

Duckitt mentioned in a recent post having broken both his diffs.
As strong as our diffs are, they are not indesdructable.
And certainly not with 420hp.
So careful when you flatten that pedal!

Alex, while I agree that nothing is indestructable, Duckit said that he bent his diffs, note broke them.

Since he is not saying how/what he did, I can only speculate, but possibly he took his 4.8 for flying lessons?

Flying lessons... :rolling:

How is it possible for our dear friends in the middel east (with the very cheap petrol) to put 1000hp in their Trols and throttle up dunes?
Just wondering?
I want to be safe rather than sorry and I only have 200kw to worry about :rolling:
