JP's 4.5 GUI

Good Day my friends, this is JP from Chile Southamerica (your neighbor, just the entire Pacific Ocean in between) :1087: , this is my 2000 4.5 Y61 , GL (barebone stock model,) with some standard GU aftermarket that doens't need to be explained to you AUS'iens :tongue:

My only short term plans are a double jerry can holder for the roofrack (bought in the US from Hannibal) and maybe a V8 engine swap. I bought a 5.3 LM7 V8 (300 bHP) from a 2004 Chevy Silverado in the US, that is sailing soon , and might start this swap (if I don't get temped to sell the engine and buy a bigger one)... who knows since the TB45E swallows 20 lt/100 Kmt , I could live with the same mileage but with 100 Hp more...

Great photos JP and great set up all round inside and outside!

Thanks a lot AB , its just someting you see every day in AUS ... here, I might see an Y61 every 6 months or so ...

She one hell of a nice unit JP, What a setup.

Keep them pics coming mate & BTW go with the bigger 5.7 LS1 thats what we use here & thay go very well indeed.


Cheers
Paul

Hey Paul , thanks mate, oh yes, but the LS1 (all aluminum) is a car engine (GTO, Monaro, Corvette, Camaro, etc) and the LQ4 or LQ9 6.0 V8s are kinda more suited since they come from trucks (Silverado HD , Cadillac Escalade, Hummer H2, etc.) due to their low end torque they are set up ... and byw, these are way cheaper than LS engines

LOL...... Quite the part mate........Top stuff.

Nice photos and nice truck.
You make a lot of Aussies jealous with that setup.
Strange seeing a left-hand-drive Patrol.
Well done.

Paul

Thanks a lot mate, really almost all the world drives left hand ... ahahahahaha .... except, OZ, NZ, Japan, UK, Sweden and some Southern Pacific islands.

They are very nice pair you have there and a great hat only thing missing is a can in the hand

Sure ...

Very dark soil around there mate, is there volcanic activity over there or is that just the colour of the soil in that area?

hey mate , its a volcanic national park, thats the reason you see only lava

That looks so nice, exactly how id like to get mine looking.

Thanks a lot mate !!

These are the last shots of our last week's short trip to the south of Chile (2200 Kmt round trip). This particular place (Conguillio) was used 10 years ago to film BBC's "Walking with Dinosaurs" documental since it is almost untouched scenery like it was millions of years ago ...
