What you guys have to remember is where towing our 3.5t house around all over australia for an extended ammount of time. fOriginally Posted by Bulbous
Feul economy is likely to be around the 10-15 litres per 100 better & we'll probably to a good 100-150 000 klms like that so it does make a difference. I love patrols & if the house wasn't so big then we wouldn't be having this conversation, but there the facts.
Watch out there's a Poo "Yota" lurking in the shadows !
My ol mans just bought a 3t van and is towing it with a GU td42t and is happy ad a pig in poo with it
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
Funny thread, had a good laugh...lol
Shame Kelvin, I hope you just make the right choice mate!!!
Kelvin for PM.
This is one gutsy thread, mate!
I've weighed up the pro's and con's of saying "yes" and "no" and base my decision on the following:
1. Interchangable rims/tyres. lol
2. Ability to tow a yota and possibly a van - at the same time.
3. Still have Kelvin's wisdom and knowledge for mods - excluding reference to engine
4. Watch him mod his truck and steal his ideas. lol
Thinking, thinking.......YES, BUT, I draw the line at you putting a 'Nissan Recovery Vehicle' sticker on you truck.
If I get one sniff of that sticker on your new truck, I'll drop you quicker than your tyre pressure. lol.
Welcome aboard, bro!
Take care out there. Midge and I still love ya. lololol hahaha lololol

Once a Toyota owner always a Toyota owner, I knew it was only a matter of time till you returned to the darkside.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

yeh why not, you won't be the first Tojo driver 2 grace this forum Kelvin,
But there is a catch 2 you staying, after you have purchased the your new poorly designed.... crappy.... useless Tojo, you have 2 let us set fire 2 it, so you can quickly get back out and buy a real 4WD.
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

Well the deal is done. I am still a patrol owner at the moment,[until my baby goes to a new home], so i don't get what all the negativity's about.[sad excuse of a fightback there].
Watch out there's a Poo "Yota" lurking in the shadows !
