Update!
The patrol has annoying sounds from the gearbox, so I will have to change the box. Used one in ok condition is bought. Also the cv joints in the front would probably need changing soon. ...

Thanks. I've have changed the oil now. I used 10W-40 castrol oil. This is accepted in the instruction book at my temps, so this should be good. But I only have one problem....

-After the oil...

Well, ok.. The temp is rarely as cold as -20C degrees. That's about the coldest i've seen up in the mountains.. Normally down to about -10C degrees where I live, about +20 max in summer here at my...

Looks good mate :) Have to follow this build ;)

hehe, I know. I have a lot of stuff i wanna do with it. Just have to take one thing at a time.. :) Also have 3-4 other cars to take care of.. :)

"Some of the 6cylinder cars have over 1500whp. And the v8 turbos even more.." - mhmmm, me like! :D

hehe tmijnhout :P Thought so myself..

I've driven with welded diff before.. All I can say is, not worth it! Maybe if you only go off road, but on roads it's not good!

Lada looks fake :P The last one was nice tho :)

Lucky he didn't go all the way around :P

Wow :P Never thought about this :) Should try once, just to see how easy it is :P

Lucky guy to have those two trees in his path..

I don't think I'd risk my car like that :P

HAHA, crazy guys!! :P

I'd rather weld instead of using glass fibre.. :)

I don't have a lot of knowledge about 4x4 and driving off road like this yet, but didn't this guy pull a little bit hard?? :)

I've done this many times :) Very easy to do when you have a lot of tyre stretch. Be aware and watch your fingers!

hehe, many redneck way to open a beer! Some good ones in the vid also! :) Had a wide smile at some of them :P
