Yes Jim. Yes its is :doh

First thing I wanted to do was to protect the car. I found a restoration company very close by which was a bonus https://pro-tectservices.co.uk/ They are a Dinitrol approved rust protection treatment centre. These guys gave me the news I was hoping for. They had seen cars 4 years old that...

Thought I'd start a thread about our family truck. I never wanted to get another Patrol, I was looking at other 4x4's and was really wanting a Jeep. Couldn't really find anything that was right. Then one came up with the 4.0 engine that I wanted and was really low mileage. Went to the garage...

Yeah if its done 165,000 i'd bring my valuation down for sure. 20k miles in the last year, bloody hell. looks like the rust has been done previously though which is good.

I know you want a swb, but chances of one coming up that's good and not costing silly money is practically impossible. Not sure what the mileage is on that, it looks really nice, but say 100k miles, I would say it would be worth about £3000 to £3500 in an all good, running condition. However...

How did you get on with your new springs and Lokka setup?

This is not so much a Nissan group, this is just a group of friends. I feel like I could ask for help here for anything, not just about cars, and my help is also offered out to anyone the same. There is a really nice core group of like minded friends. The only bad thing is that we all live so...

Kick ass Jim. Thoughts are with you :thumb2

I can totally relate to every word of that. The 4wd system can be a total faff having to change in and out of 4wd as you are driving along trying to read the road. My wife hates that aspect of the nissans. When she has the kids in the car she doesn't want to worry about all that, she just wants...

Russell that Land Cruiser is stunning! Very jealous, id love to own that. There's one that goes about in my town and it always grabs my attention.

You will love the land cruiser! One of the best cars I've ever owned. Fantastic engine, really very very good, still miss mine, nothing ever went wrong with it.

Do you have any gauges to see the difference in boost, egt temps? Looks a good job, any other mods done?

Need to spray the rest of the truck now too as that is a really nice job :thumb2

Great job and well explained. I'm hopefully going to test mine properly on Sunday at the off road/navigation event as I've never needed 4wd yet. Hopefully it will be reliable.

I've got the AVM hubs and there is no noise, so something sounds wrong to me.

I'm thinking maybe seperate thread so it's an entity in itself and would be easier hopefully to find.

Yeah I know what you mean, but its normally £25 or £30 for a pay and play site, so for an extra £10 to have all the possible tuition, organisation, support and marshalling I think its not too bad.

Does anyone fancy doing this on 25th November? Details in the link, but it's a navigational challenge adventure and a play at the end of the day at Tixover pay and play site which I think is also through them so shouldn't be any idiots there. Or you can just spend the day playing at the quarry...
