My name is Sébastien, I’m from France (I apologize for my bad English, I'm not bilingual and I make mistakes sometimes…)
I request your help because I have the plan to travel in Australia in March 2018, buy a 4WD, build the Wood's trunk installation in order to sleep, cook and live during one year inside.
I have ideas about the plans, but I need to have the rear dimensions and I can’t find them on internet...
I would like to draw the 3D plans in order to know if my ideas are good or not…
I would like to buy a 4WD because it’s funnier than a Van. I know a 4WD is less spacious but doesn’t matter, fun is more important than comfort!
Anyway, after researches I’m nearly sure that the GQ / Y60 Nissan Patrol is the bigger 4WD and more robust than all the others in Australia. The second point for choosing this brand is because I read there are many spare parts in Australia. The third point is the price, indeed the price is really attractive too, because I have a small budget for buying my 4WD (maximum 6500AUD).
I would like to be sure about these points:
1) If someone can measure on his Patrol the size of all the rear dimensions like the height
width, and depth to driver's seat (without the rear seats) it will give me a strong help…
2) Is my decision being good to choose this model?
3) Do you know if there are others really good 4WD with a big place and could be correspond with my budget?
4) How much kilometers or miles this model can realize?
5) If someone know tutorials about people who did this improvement I will be enjoy to know this information too!
