Hi,
Presently drive a '98 GU auto 4.5 petrol ST. Converted to LPG in '98.
Fitted lock up switch on torque converter, after towing caravan south on WA coast (head winds caused frequent disengaging and mild overheating of gearbox)
Fitted ultrasonic tweeters (activated by high beam) to ward off animals on highway, after bowling over an emu near Broken Hill.
Fitted reversing camera, BEFORE I backed into anything.
Previously owned (as well as many sedans); '78 short wheel base land cruiser, '80 Subaru Outback; '84 Mitsubishi Pajero short wheel base.
All of them enjoyable cars, but I love my '98 Patrol, even though as an advanced septuagenarian I don't venture far off road these days; it is great for carting big stuff from hardware store etc.
Joined because I especially want to peruse electrical manuals to better understand what happening under dash.
I had a recent "problem" with indicators which was solved by info posted on mypatrol4x4.com. Posted info there at https://www.mypatrol4x4.com/topic/1585-intermittent-non-functioning-of-indicators-not-a-nissan-fault/
Happy 4Wdriving to all. Enjoy it while you can.
