Hey everyone, I decided to look for a Patrol 4.2 for a big lap. Inside doesnt have to be anything fancy but engine needs to be reliable. Stock is fine. Show me what you got :)

I assume you are after a diesel?
There's a few good TD42's knocking around on gumtree atm mate. Best to look at a non turbo as it's likely to be better for reliability. Been happy with mine, just a little slow around town haha.
yep, apparently more reliableQuote:

Pm macca86 I recall him selling his though it may be a bit out of your budget. And he's around the corner from us
Found his thread looks like its Nfs anymore

Maccas is something that I would love, but indeed a fair bit out of budget unfortunatelyQuote:

I am thinking of a 4.2td GU ute ready to do the big lap. I like the ex telstra cars because of the integrated dual wheel carrier, I can then let someone make a MTB carrier on the back. By sleeping in the canopy, I can eliminate the roof top tent and thereby lowering the center of gravity (only kayak on roof instead of RTT+kayak, unfortunately means that I bought the rotatable kayak holder for nothing). Price range is depending on how complete the car is, if the car has most of I need then 23ish K + 4k to get it completely serviced and kitted out. I saw a nice GQ but the resell value of those is much lower so I lean towards a GU. I have 6 months to find one though so I take my time to find that lucky pearl (hopefully more luck with the new car compared to the previous one).
