nunya Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Easier access to throw it in with no top! We can add one of those stair chairs on the side so you can get in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Almost.. they weren't allowed to bring that 4.2l 1HD-T engine with them. We got stuck with the gutless gasser. You can swap engines. Y61 Patrol! Straight axles, diesel engine, factory lockers! what's not to love!? Not being able to buy one in the US market. That snorkel is on backwards.

Mr.510 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 patrol without hesitation... full frame, tons of aftermarket support and diesel engine.... I only which I had unlimited budget... I would be driving a patrol... ^ This. Any Patrol prior to '97 is a far better wheeler than a Pathfinder, right outta the box. Solid front axle, full frame, etc. I just wish I could find a old 60's Patrol that isn't a pile of rust or insanely expensive Yea I posted one not long ago as well. The ones that are restorable seem to be as much as FJ40 Cruisers, and there are a billion parts for those. I want to find a barn stored Patrol for like 500 bucks. Yea, I dream a lot. I have a 1964 Model 60 Patrol. It is much better built and a better wheeler than an FJ40. I'm not going to say that you cannot bend or break a model 60, but you have to do something seriously stupid to hurt one. The thing about the Model 60s is the paint on the frames and and bottom of the bodywork did not last. Most that you see in original condition these days are rusted bare metal on the entire undercarriage. Mine is this way. The sheetmetal and frame are both very heavy material and don't seem prone to pitting or structural cancer, at least out West where they didn't salt the roads at all until just a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 That depends on how you wheel. I suppose the Patrol might be better on the tougher trails but they are also heavier and bigger which might create other issues. The Pathfinder's compact size puts it at a major advantage over the Patrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
