So tell me threedogs - why do you ask? - Oops - that was Two Dogs asking! sorry :)
OK, no, this is not near the Corn Patch. At least it isn't near the Corn Patch that I know down on the Douglas...

I know what you mean - the good bits in Kakadu are a long way from each other and they requires a lot of effort to get to them. However, I think that the effort is worth while and if you have the...
A nice drive out there isn't it? Mind you, at times you can lose yourself in the hum of the tyres reflecting back off the scrub and everything looks so much the same.
Magic!
Once again, I grabbed the opportunity to head off with my wife out of town - she really doesn't like the build up weather and avouds the bush at this time of year.
I thoroughly enjoyed it though....
With the wife away for a week I thought I'd head out to the Cobourg Peninsula to look around.
A beautiful place and well worth visiting.

A quiet day and a need to drive some klms in the Patroil so we headed off to Litchfield to have a look around.

I also went with a Beaudesert 2.75 inch pipe. The 3 inch units seem to offer less backpressure and you really do need some of that to allow the engine to scavenge correctly.
I also fitted a...
The 2000 and 2001 3 litres gained a reputation as a grenade.
The 2007 model year was when they changed to the CRD engine - essentially the same engine but better managed by the computer.
In...
Be careful what you ask for - you may just get it!
Having been round the block nearly twice I have a LOT of photographs from lots of different places and down lots of tracks.
I can scare people...
I have been lurking and using the forum for a while now but I realised that I have never actually introduced myself.
So, here I am
The name's Joe and I have a white GUIII with the intriguing...
Forum sponsor? What is this forum sponsor thing?
Better look into this - I only joined because I needed help and I got it quick smart (thatks guys) so perhaps I should sponsor up and give a...
Rope is safer and easier to use as well being lighter.
Make sure you give it a wash every now and then, just like a snatch strap. Dirt can get into the fibres and cause wear. It is a good time to...
Your brother must be weirdly shaped then - I too am 6'4" and my knees are too close to the dash bottom edge for comfort. I have had to move the electric brake controller and the turbo timer from...
Does it really make sense though?
After all, if the reason the oil gets dirty is because there is more soot in the combustion chamber then there will be more soot blowing out the exhaust.

I also have the alloy basket shown in the first post. it is mounted on three bars (I have a fourth that I use for the rearward opening awning) and it has been around Australia twice including drives...
Hmmm. Is that Cummins a current engine?
Would it fit into a GU?
While 35s will increase loadings the Nissan drivetrain is the styrongest around and can handle it.
The weakest point will be the wheel bearings, but the steering will feel the effect too so just...
120 Rkw would be nice, but you'd have to wonder what was going to go bang first wouldn't you? :)
What in all your mods did you think made your vehicle feel more grunty? For me it was the change...
I have just had some work done on my ZD30 engined Di Patrol (a 2004 GUIII) to correct a warped manifold (expensive or what? $250 for a manifold gasket and $66 for the manifold to turbo gasket - scary...
:D
Just had a bit of work done as the Troll was whistling, especially when cold. Turned out to be a warped exhaust manifold. i took it into the diesel injection and turbocharging specialists in...
Thanks guys.
I have the NADS so I have no way that I want to go back and test this out, it is just that it didn't quite make sense to me as far as keeping oil clean. However, I think I will just...
So it is just the soot from the exhaust that is being recycled and some part of it blows by and into the oil.
That's weird really, and I still don't understand how it works.
If a normal...
I keep hearing that blocking the EGR will help keep my oil clean. For example, I copied the following quote from a dissertation on NADS:
From my understanding, the EGR just adds exhaust...
Excellent advice there - I have one of those units and will dig it out and get rattling!
Thanks guys

I found this thread after I tried to undo the filler plug (yeah, I have heard of people being caught with a drain plug that undid and a filler that didn't) and it won't budge.
Before I go all...
