What is your vehicle mainly used for ? I . E . daily driver , off-road , overland adventures .
Well it ’ s not my daily driver . The Patrol comes out when I need to haul a trailer , seat more than two people , and of course it ’ s always ready to get out and adventure ! Otherwise it sits in the driveway and makes everybody jealous .
Can you give us a quick run through of the modifications you have done to your vehicle and any future modifications you have planned ?
Uh oh , this could take a while ! It ’ s been a steady build over a number of years which started with a 3 inch suspension kit from Old Man Emu and a set of 285 / 75 ( approximately 33 inch ) tyres on steel rims . Up the front is a Nissan factory steel winch bar with some old , but brilliant Hella Rallye 4000 spotlights but no winch as of yet . A set of ARB steel side steps save my panels from damage , and a steel rear bar with a spare wheel carrier and twin jerry can holders tie it up on the rear . Other things bolted up around the outside include a snorkel , 4 roof bars which carry the Howling Moon roof top tent and a steel roof basket , an ARB awning , rear work light and reversing camera and at either end you will find two rated recovery hooks .
The engine has been left alone mostly with just a 3 inch mandrel bend exhaust bolted up to it . It ’ s still slower than a wet weekend , but at least it sounds good now ! There ’ s a dual battery setup under the bonnet , and a Uni-filter washable air filter but that ’ s about it .
