Newbie looking to get into a patrol

[mikelisa]

Hi guys my names Michael¡
Im new to the whole 4x4 thing only ever owned fast turbos and v8s but now looking
at getting into a Gu Patrol as my kids have dirt buggies and need a tough rig to tow them.
I've never done 4wding but been to loveday comps looked awesome! Now just in process of
selling my xr6 turbo hopefully looking at getting Into a GU but in two minds of 2.8 or the 4.5.
So any good feedback on both for towing would be great. Hope to join the club and start a new
range of driving.....thanks Michael
