    Stuff you have seen on Patrols or other 4x4's that make you think "Seriously"

    Seen a couple of items of late that made me take asecond look and think wtf really!

    1) GU Nissan patrol ute with what looks like 17" rims and super low profile tyres (about 1 inch) hoping to graba pic soon as even the rims are bad. Must be great off road?

    2) Gloss black Navara with 2 chrome plated jerry cans on the back complete with chrome plated holders.
    Seemed like a good idea at the time

    I've also seen a fourby ute (make/model I can't remember) with really low profile tyres, on polished chrome rims.
    "Srsly?" was pretty much my reaction too.

    Seen a land cruiser the other week, with a large LPG tank behind the rear diff and under tow bar assembly. This thing was lifted and done up as an off road car, but the LPG tank was sitting lower than the diff and at the back was completely exposed. If it hit a rock or got rear ended by a lower vehicle than itself ... BOOM!

    My nephew has a hilux dual cab,with them massive mags and low profile tyres.40 low profile I think,when he came down and we went out he couldn't deflate them.when he got stuck I kept going and left him so someone else could have a laugh aswell..He's excuse was he never thought he'd go off road and only bought it to cart his bike around(oh and of course it had to look good if your doing that)
