    Day trip for beginners

    G'day to the troll family, I'm keen on doing a day trip with some experienced 4 wheelers this summer. I'm in south east Melbourne but will travel to somewhere that's easier for everybody. Ive got a stock 03 3ltr patrol with nads (except catch can) with at tyres with good tred. I will have rated recovery points before we go,(hope I don't need to use em) hopefully from three dogs but he doesn't know it yet. Lol. I'm not in any hurry, just wanted to get the ball rolling. What do you guys n gals think?
    03 ST-L auto, Dawes and needle valve, provent catch can, 3' exhaust. I want more than I got

    G'day Paul,

    Keep an eye out mate as there is a good great of guys in Vic that do a it of driving. I am sure you can hook up.

    If your not doing anything for the first week of Jan 2015 I am heading over to Beachport SA for 10 days of beach driving. Will be a great trip and Newby friendly. If you have never driven on sand its a whole other animal.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I know what to do, but the patrol being a stocky limits me.
