Hi All,

I am a proud new owner of a teenager model Patrol. It's 2016 with 65k km on the clock. Y61 GRX 4.8

We are moving to the EU end of 2023, and I wanted a vehicle that I could put in storage here in SA once we have left that I know would also last the next 20 years. So that we can use it when visiting friends and family. We will also, during such visits, try to squeeze in some overlanding trips to our favourite spots.

Over the next 18 months, until we leave SA, it will also be my daily driver. I also want to squeeze in as many overlanding trips during this period as possible.

Welcome Darth

I see this is an overlanding project?
Can you give more detail about the vehicle and what you intend to do. Is a thread coming?

So Ryan

Are you joining the Rivertrip this year?
Its kind of a Patrol thing nowadays.

You will also get a free expo of mods done to Patrols for overlanding...
