Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hey Guys! So I finally did it. I went to De Wildt (Oom, I didnt know that, that was the trail I was going to, I was just taken there, sorry I didnt let you know)....

So, I did most of the obstacles.... And yes, I am admitting it here... I screamed like a girl (and i do that very well, because i am a girl) JUST ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe So giving myself a

I had many people actually stop and stare at the Patrol doing its thing and also a young female driver behind the wheel, I even got a round of applause!!!!!!!!! :)

But and here is the BIG BUTT.... I let my friend who was driving the Nissan Xtrail, take my patrol through the mud pit and play in there for a while.. BIG BIG BIG MISTAKE... He got my patrol STUCK and landed up hooking the back left bumper on a rock or something and yeah... the pics will show the damage :( Im so sad right now, my gorgeous gloria has a eina... Ive taped it all back together with boxing tape so i can at least indicate and drive until I replace the unit and bumper.

I will post some really awesome pictures later, when i receive them, of the obstacles I did :)

But here are the sad ones in the mean time (always save the best till last :p )

Ok, so here are some of the pics :) The nice ones!

Eish Margo, thats not cool, not cool at all. Very impressed you did the trail without any problems yourself though. Don;t beat yourself up about that bumper and tail light, thats just 4wd'ing i guess, however,in my opinion, 4wd's are like camera equipment, i just don't let people use them unless they know more about it than i do, so needless to say , my city slicker friends never get to drive my truck or touch my lenses,however, my friends from home (transkei farmers/trading stores),they get to play with all the toys. hahaha. As i write this though i realise that people have to start somewhere, so maybe i should be a little more lenient in future.

Just clean it out nicely and you should be able to put the light back. That is why I do not like to play in mud - it is not good for your vehicle

My little heart is broken guys.... :( I going to sulk tonight.. LOL.. MY OWN fault for letting him drive.

Unfortunately I cant just put it back it, it actually ripped out and broke the clips with it.... So yeah.

hehe, but on the OTHER HAND!!! I DID IT GUYS!!!!!!!!!! Im totally excited that I DID IT :) * im beaming ear to ear* hahaha ... I certainely took on a new found respect for the amazing Nissan PatroL!!!!

Excellent,

Re the light. Get yourself some QBond and fix it. No too bad.

Congrats Margo! Well done!

Well done Margo! Unfortunately every good lesson comes a price-tag. This tag was very small. This lines you up very well for the OME suspension and replacement bumper, front and rear!!!

Heyjjjjjj Margie - oopsss for the light cluster - insurance should cover that - then sommer get a decent STEEL bumper to go there

Oompie wants to ask you question - that pict where you climb up towards "View Point 1" WHY is there so much dust behind Gloria??? The Patrols WALK that little Grade 1 1/2 obstacle ... [rerrag - Ask Izak ]

now - for the rest of the picts ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? - gotta ask more than once !
