If you have a GU setup like my GQ with all the bar work then Play Hard. Mine still has a plastic rear bumper and it took a few hits the other week at Tallarook. Would prefer not to wreck it.

The GU is way more comfortable but is WAY WAY bigger too! And in the bush in the tight stuff it rubs on more stuff.

If you just want the comfort then seriously buy a 200 series! Nice! But not a patrol!

I reckon they both ROCK! They are both Nissan Patrols and both have a TD42T! Life is good
Agreed. This argument will never be laid to rest. It all comes down to personal choice. My 3L goes quite hard and for now is reliable. I do wish it was a 4.2 but as it happens to anyone buying a Patrol, you get what you can afford at the time.
Just before the meet at Andy's I missed out on the golden opportunity of a life time. A factory turbo intercooled 4.2 with 250k on the clock with a blown turbo for under $1300! With radiator, IP and anything I needed to convert my Troll over off the donor car. That will teach me not to remember to set my phone to tell me when its going off on Ebay. A few tears were had that night...
