Hey Peeps,

Pretty excited to find this forum, been looking for some 4WD forums but this one seems pretty active which is good.

Im not really apart of this whole crew yet as I'm still yet to buy my first 4WD.
(not unfamiliar with cars mostly old carbie models, but a newbie with diesel and 4WDs)

But now Im on the market for one now and keen to get into it. Definitely want a Patrol, definitely want diesel, something early 2000's to get me started.

Bit scared about all this "3.0L grenade" talk i see on other forums and online but would love some help to ensure i dont end up with a lemon. Any insight/help on which is preferable whether the 2.8L, 3.0 or 4.2 etc....

I just signed up so im about to start going through some threads/posts now but looking forward to hearing from anyone.

Peace
Dick
