Hey all,
I'm new to the Patrol forums, and currently live in NZ - don't be too hard on me you'll win the Rugby World cup next time
I'm Making the move to a 4.2 GU Patrol from my current 2.5 Generation 2 Pajero (quite a step haha)
Looking forward to catching up with you on the forums and might even have a wheel with you guys next time I'm in Aussie
Cheers, Karl

Welcome to the forum mate, feel free to ask any questions and join in the conversations.
Thanks guys
Rusty, I had a good look at both, the Toyota has some brilliant engines but their weak front diffs turned me off quite a bit, and with the Patrol's reputation for having an indestructible driveline it was a winner
I was also after solid-axles, a factory turbo-diesel, coils all round and a manual transmission. So it was down to the 80 Series or the GU Patrol, and with the 80 being such an old vehicle I was really after something new and much preferred the Patrol.
Plus it looks unbeatably tough
good answer! the GU's are certainly no GQ, but they sure do pull their weight hahaOriginally Posted by karllovesmercedes
