Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Yeah. My NISSAN PATROL Y60 HIGHROOF is an overland tool for my and my ego. Should be ashamed of this?
Well.... If I go with my family and wish to calm down, feel nature and make my wife happy I take old budy: T4 SYNCRO, pretty stock. Believe me - I make 85% of trails with T4 what I can do with...

If U focus on economics (both consumsion and exploatation) search IN-LINE 6 engines. Whatever the brand or origin of the vehicles. V evgines are more compicated and sensitive - remember: "it's not spoil what is absent". 4-cyl in-line engines gives not enough torque - needed in Overlanding. There...
I must admitt - KAMAZ cars are well known in Eastern Europe and companies use them still today (new generations) saying that no other car can stand the same conditions.
Second lagendary russian brand with no competision in some application is KRAZ - they still use them in forestry here ...
Many years ago my father asked me why am I so fond of this off-roading.... "Because I can go places few only visited and see things few only ever saw" - I answered.
He just stopped for a second and said "buy yourself a tank"
That is important
Automatic GB makes this difference obvious. I also drive manuals and believe auto would make it easier sometimes - and I have to put 4LO
Transfer box offloading a gearbox in scale of ratio. And this is the first reason to install LO in off-road vehicles. So using it depend on conditions, speed, friction .... etc
I use 4LO only while crowling or very precise manuevering. We have plenty of muddy trails and paradoxically 4HI makes a...
Hello >AdventureGuy< and welcome.
All cars have traction put on ONE wheel only. All because friction issue - can't be different. So is Your 1x4 - don't be worry :tonguewink:
Most off-road drivers (old type cars) don't even realize their rigs are really 1x4 and sometimes 2x4. So stay cool even...
The is a theory that reasonable diameter upgade from original is max 15% due to strength factor planned by manufacturer's engineers.
Especially for OVERLANDING is important to not exaggerate. Long trip reliability is crucial!!!
The same reason makes me related to my '94 Patrol.
Both life axles, timing on gears, two oil filters, hand brake on drive-shaft, mechanical winch.... Actually she is idiot-proof car :hearteyes: If the owner is not an idiot thou Patrol is undestructable. Such is G-wagon, LandCruiser, F150...
