Haha!! That is a Floor mat out of a GUIV. They clip in and work great. That would be like steroids for that little thing!!

That thing will go anywhere your Patrol will go mate! didnt you know that! Right up until you use the little stick then its game on! Actually on reflection you'd be towing him way way way before that!!!

Not sure if it makes it more capable... but it does make the owner liable for being charged with "Cruelty to a Patrol Floor Mat" which is 50 lashes with a broken Serpy belt, 10 Cartons of beer or both

Hes living the Dream , Been saying it for ages up to 100kph they are fine put a light camper on the back and they are history.
Mate had one pulled out to overtake, you guessed it nothing had to pull back into traffic, sad but that's the life of a Hilux owner.
Small man syndrome I reckon LOL, Don't take them off road either

Ok, so i've found the most capable 4wd but no, its not a patrol, its badged as a BMW but is extremely reliable, its got a massive un braked towing capacity and it power to weight ratio is huge! As a bonus its very eco friendly and doesn't take much to run at all plus i think my grandparents had a few aswell and they were delighted with its performance :)

Enjoy
