    Sounds like you have a Diesel.

    This is a Petrol so lets keep the comparisons apples with apples. A Patrol was too big a daily for the wife. It's not just an offroad vehicle.

    We figured it was a good combination between a family car and a 4WD. If we just wanted a 4WD only, the Patrol would win hands down. The large petrol tanks were a huge + too.

    Ha, for $266 (an alignment costs $50-$60 anyway) I think it's a no brainer. Get them to do it. Last thing you want is it failing when offroad.

    I'd get them to do the snorkel and lift. If you can do the rest, then why not. Get a feeling of accomplishment when you do it yourself.

  14. Anyone a member of the Gold Coast 4WD Club Nerang here?

    I'm thinking of joining (they have a meeting tonight actually) and just after some feedback on the club, types of trips they go on, track difficulty (I'm just learning) and if there are many families.

  17. When do you not have do to NADS on the 3.0Ltrs?

    I'm just wondering were the NADS issues ever fixed on the 3.0ltrs? I hear about it a lot with the GU-GU III's but not so much after that. Was it fixed for the later models and if so what year?
