What did you do to your Patrol today!

I drove it home ha ha......

Actually just picked up my new 4.8 this evening. Got it home at 10pm. What a sweet sounding motor. Its a 2004 4.8 Auto TI.
Will take some photos tomorrow and start a new thread under members rigs. Feels good so far (felt like driving it around for another hour on this beautifu night).
How nice it feels to be back into the Nissan stable. Cheers.

Serious!? Was the most stickiest humidest night ever .... lol It was horrible!

Your right. What a crappy night that was.
I knew I should have kept driving the beast around last night with the sun roof open, the windows down, and some pink floyd on the stereo. Instead I layed ontop of the bed all night wide awake.

If my car was driveable I would have done the same thing. Nothing better than a 3am run to maccas on a hot night... lol

Could it be a power source to the cargo area, maybe solder some
wires to a globe so you can see whats going on when testing??
What the previous history it could be for OH led lights etc??
Any screw holes to tell you if something has been screwed there before?

When was the last time it ran? Pretty impressive though.
