    GU Patrol towing a monster 6 tonne load

    Hi all, just thought i would show you my work horse.

    Its a 2000 model GU 4.2 litre turbo diesel Patrol we use for my playground business called Imaginationplay.

    At the start of our business without my Nissan Patrol we would not be where we are today.

    I ended up running a 3 inch exhaust through which increased the torque and KW.

    I'll have to hunt around and find the dyno results as running a 3 inch exhaust and tweaking the turbo a bit was a massive difference.

    With a full load i can even hit 5th gear going up hills such as the Eltham-Yarra Glen Road heading up from Yarra Glen to Christmas Hills if anyone knows that area you will know its a big hill.

    The trailer is 2 tonne and ive had maximum 4 tonne (scary stuff) on the back which means it was towing a total of 6 tonne...

    Heres a pic of the rig towing a smaller load but you get the idea!

    Cheers!
