Small inconvenience .... Full set of rear arms in and out 3 bloody times instead of just once. Could be worse I guess, at least I didn't have to pay someone to do it.

So did I read right your leaving the patrol for a 200 LC??
A shame mate you've dropped some coin into this rig..

Yes, you read right. You never know, I might not be able to sell it yet and would therefore "have" to keep both... Reality is I can't afford to keep both so the Patrol will eventually move on. Someone will get a nice rig.
Cheers Rod

Were you not happy with the performance after all the mods you have done?
Performance is strong, has more power than I'll ever use, in normal driving or hooning or towing the van I don't need to go anywhere near full throttle.

Took the caravan up to Newcastle yesterday for its first service/inspection (won't be going back ever again but that's another storey for another time..) and had to fill in the day, so off to Stockton I go. With all the extra power and torque I was pretty keen to see how it went. Effortless is the only word I could use. Tyres at 16psi, 2nd gear hi range and it just went anywhere I pointed it. EGT's between 250-300 and engine temp 80-85. I could slow down to cross big soft ruts and then just power off again from low revs with a small flex of the right foot, a puff of black soot and we were cruising again.

Have you tested your fuel economy Rod?

Need to take 8% off these numbers to account for the tyre size. The big number was towing the van.
