Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi All,

Just got my first Patrol (thanks Tinus for finding such a beauty).
Its a 2016 3.0l CRD with 42801 km on it, at the time of this post (will have to do something about that).

What its got:
- Bullbar
- Winch (Ironman 12000lb)
- Spot lights
- Cruise control
- 2" lift

The plan so far:
- An Exhaust (which its going in for tomorrow). 3" stainless steel from Viper (Turbo back).
- Madman (Ant's is going to sort that out on Thursday).
- Then once I have free'd up some funds I will do 35's (to everyone's dismay ), diff ratio's, roof rack and awning.

Super happy with it.

Not sure how the attachments work...

Welcome. Good looking truck.

That is a smart car ....very jealous

Awesome and welcome!

Welcome Ryan!

Nice

Borrow some old 35s and judge before you fork out many moola

Yes. Possibly not a bad idea.

I've never driven a 3L and I have got no idea one pulls. But I'd hesitate going above 35" o my TB45. Yes, diff ratios may possibly help with this, but I honestly don't think the TB45 is built for 35".

Again - I'm a petrol head and not an oil burner and don't know the 3L Patrols at all. But keep that in mind. Sure Tinus will have a better idea about that.

Ryan, nice truck.

Howzit Ryan, and welcome!
Very nice lorry you have there!
Wishing you many safe and happy miles with her!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the input. I spoke to Tinus and 35's with the ratios should be okay. Definitely not a bad idea to test with an old pair first though.

Just got back from Viper. Sounds good, but nothing crazy. The 3" definitely helps her breathe.
