I rebuilt the swivals 3 times before getting it right, they can be very fussy. The problems I had was same as you, swivel bearings, causing shaft seal to leak within a month and not having the correct tool to do up the wheel correctly with preloading, causing the wheel bearings to fail within 6...

Watching this with real interest, I am having an extension built and so now is the perfect time to install cameras. I was planning mains and cat 6 to each location. Some one has suggested POE is this a possibility and do the cameras suggested support it, if not what cable is used to connect /...

That is one high up Patrol, think this one next to mine was 6 inch lift but smaller tyres than yours. Kind regards Russell.

I bought mine from Oz via Ebay, has 1/2 inch drive fitment great tool. Kind regards Russell.

Got mine from Milners came in Nissan packets but fraction of the cost, be aware you need the proper pin tool to retighten these up, as my first set failed because I could not tighten them enough to seat them down, second set done with tool perfect. Kind regards Russell.

My Patrol motor fell apart, only £170 for replacement, I managed to get one from breakers for £40 Kind regards Russell.

I am planning on going with my son, should be a good day out.

I have to admit I find it easier to just put arials up on the roof, and I figure if I need to remove I can just put a plastic bung in there as not seen by most. Kind regards Russell.

Last time I took my Patrol for an MOT, I thought I would have a quick look under it first and found the exhaust had broken clean in two parts, so only had the front box but this had not made it any louder than normal, as until I got under I had no idea it was broken. Kind regards Russell.

I was sad to see it go but I have done the right thing, it was getting old (2003) and the mileage was high at 200,000 The Land Cruiser has a lot more off road equipment like cameras, crawl control, fluid controlled ARBs that release, terrain control that softens the suspension and lifts it up...

Nice choice, same size and tyre as I have on mine.

This went on my Patrol, very simple circuit, one of the resistor looking components is actually a heat fuse, this had gone open circuit on mine, so I ordered a pack of 5 from Farnell for about £1.00 and I also changed out the fet for a newer faster switching one meaning the whole thing will run...

Very nice.

Thanks Mr K it is a step up from the Patrol, centre and rear lockers, downhill control, crawl control, multi terrain select, camaras all round, height adjustable suspension, just got to fit my cb and will be ready to green lane. Only concern is colour as black is going to show the scratches...

Funny I was looking at two Land Cruisers both black both same year, mileage etc and the other one was in Northern Ireland, so had an irish plate on it. RUI 8163 is a plate I have had on many of my cars, it makes the car ageless, it is very loosely personal based on RU being the first two...

We do not get much snow in Hertfordshire but last year we had two days where the roads where quite bad, first day the roads had a couple of inch of compacted snow/ice the Patrol coped really well with this although I noticed it fighting on tight corners due to no centre dif, the next day was...

Nothing to do to it really, other than all terrain tyres and install a cb as I only really use it for green laning. Kind regards Russell.

Same as me, Patrol to Land Cruiser, not worried about seeing snow now, unlike when I had the Patrol. Kind regards Russell.

Here is hopefully a picture, can not work out how to upload more than one, but it is a Toyota Land Cruiser 150 LC5 Kind regards Russell.

It's been a fun four years owning my Patrol and visiting this forum but like all good things this has come to an end. Patrol sold and replaced with a Land Cruiser, just needed something a bit newer. Thanks for the help over the years. Kind regards Russell.
