    First Ever Patrol

    I have just bought a 1984 MQ Shorty, 2.8 4 speed. I'IMG_9103.JPGIMG_9105.JPGIMG_9105.JPGIMG_9105.JPGve never owned a proper 4 wheel drive before but have driven old Landies etc. I've always liked Patrols and have had a few Datsun's. I have a few rust repairs to do but nothing terrible, about to change oil and filter, get a battery and fire her up. The motor is apparently ok!

    G'day mate and welcome to the forum.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?
