No, but it feels like perfect shorts and short-sleeve weather

Ok, one last update. I took the Patrol out for a spin today and hit one of the hills that gave me trouble before - it's a 6% grade for about 1km. Well I hit it in 4th going about 80kph and 15psi boost. I actually accelerated from 80 to 100kph up the incline! EGTs stayed even on 400C and boost pegged out around 15.5psi! Thrilled is not the word to describe how I feel now. Everything I've put into it is now paying off and I feel like I've got a reliable beast that can tackle any kind of roads in any kind of conditions!


1999 GU RD28Ti; mechanical injector pump, 5kBt Webasto circulation heater, 33" Yokohama Geolander I/T, SaaS boost & EGT gauges, 2" Ironman suspension...more to come

Thanks for the help and support, mates! Definitely glad to be back on the road. Couldn't have done it without the support and help from everyone here. Now I need to start an official build-up thread and one for my excursions on the winter roads here in Siberia
