Half your luck, I think mine will end up with a V8 conversion in future years, I'm hoping someone starts doing the Nissan Titan Cummins 5.0 litre V8 to Patrol conversion :bananarock:

I usually allow around around 20lph for desert type trips with a lot of slow going, the Patrol has been a thirsty beast since I bought it new in January and she used a bit more than I expected in the...
Glad you liked the report, I thought I better get it finished while the memory was fresh!
Electronic sophistication isn't what I'd use to describe my GU Patrol. I do use a scan gauge, but its really...
I'll wrap up the last section of this trip report which covers from Hanging Rock out to Parngurr then back home.
We had a good look around Hanging Rock and a nice cold beer while enjoying the...
We packed up camp, with one last look at the view from Jimmy's Thunderbox. Gotta love a loo with a view :)

Another short video I've posted on youtube. This covers the track from near Telfer down to Desert Queen Baths. https://youtu.be/yVO8v3_Szl0
Dales camp ground was pretty empty, maybe 7 or 8 others in the Euro Loop we were in. I try and avoid these places in the peak period if I can.
Yep, you'll hear LV a lot on Channel 40 over here, particularly through the highway roadworks and oversize vehicle convoys of which there are many on the great northern hwy. HV and LV are pretty...
The second part of this trip report begins with an early departure from the Albert Tognolini (Thanks Cuppa) rest Area where we had camped. This is an awesome little spot for an overnighter, despite...
Hahaha, exactly the term I used to the Missus, I also said John Jarret probably lives here!
Didn't get chased out, but didn't like the vibe of the place either. We were going to camp near the old mine, but I said to the missus, the people still in town know we will be down here alone, so...
I don't really think any of it will worry the T-van, we saw quite a few T-vans on the CSR last year, one had a leaking shock, but that's easily fixed if you carry a spare. We'll probably go the T-van...
Glad you like it so far! I am knackered now, so will get some more up tomorrow hopefully.
Yep some stunning country out there, Karajini was really only a side trip for me, as I really wanted to...
The Missus and myself just completed a trip up to Karrijini and Ruddall River NP's in WA.
I'll get the trip report up over the next few days.
With the Patrol packed and ready for its first...
