    Patrol No.8

    After a long period of driving a Toyota HJ60, I bought finally my eight Patrol GR.

    It's a RD28T SWB, a little lazyer than my ex SD33T's, my TD42 and the TB42. It's pretty stock and I must fit a suspension lift kit, a winch and some wheels.

    Long time, no word about the car.

    Someone said that a picture values 1000 word, so ... I'll compress few thousand words in some pictures to say what I did to the car:

    Anyway ... in my opinion, the rd28t is not the right engine for that kind of car, so I did my best to find a Nissan Safari equipped with the TD42. I'll tell the story in another new thread.

    Hi! I think I'll keep "all the best" for the new Safari I've bought! The TD42 deserves more than the RD28T, isn't it?
