G'day again everybody,

A couple of you guys mentioned you wanted to see more of this thing, so I'm gonna do a brief rundown and then just dump a huge stack of photos in no particular order. It's been with me for a decade now and taken me well over 100,000 miles all over Australia.

Vehicle is a 2004 Nissan GU Patrol Series 4 wagon, it's got the TB48 engine which is a straight 6 petrol donk, basically a big block RB if you know your JDM cars, but these TB48's are stupid reliable and love to rev, behind that it's got the re5r05a 5 spd auto. The patrols are solid axle and are coil sprung front and rear, radius arm front and 5 link (4link panhard) rear. Much the same as the 80 series Landcruisers you guys got over there.

I'm sure I'll forget a few things but it's also got a few goodies on it,

- Front bar, rear bar and sliders all made by me
- Radius arms/crossmember that are much longer and also correct castor
- King 2.5" remote res all round
- 3" front 2" rear lifted progressive coils
- All aftermarket rear control arms
- Full interior drawer and 12v system
- Front E locker
- Rear shimmed up LSD
- KMC forged beadlocks
- 37" BFG KM3's
- Stainless snorkel + airbox

Surely I have forgotten heaps, it's taken me all over the place, been bogged, crashed, skidded, crawled, jumped, sunk, dented, dinged, scratched, slept in, nearly rolled and very much enjoyed for a very long time. I've currently come to a bit of a crossroads with it, I absolutely can't bring myself to sell it but I'm not sure where to go next. I'd like it to be a little more capable in the fast stuff, so I'll see what I can come up with. Anyway here's a shitload of photos from it's life with me in all sorts of different outfits.

This last photo is at it sits now, in my backyard getting rained on. Needs a little bit of mechanical TLC but nothing major. The big question for me is what the fuck do I do with it now?!?
 
How many felonies have you created with your slight mods? :ROFLMAO:

I know Australia's vehicle modification laws are pretty oppressive down under.

Hahaha this car has been the cause of plenty of trouble for me unfortunately! It's not even modified very heavily either, our laws are not kind to us :ROFLMAO:
