[jpvm]

Finally a Patrol build here on Expo!

Awesome truck JPVM...I would trade any of my trucks for it, maybe even several!

Wassup Ian ? Wait , not everything that glitters is gold :elkgrin: , that awsome flexing MQ is a marvel at its own ... :drool:

Good pics JP. I still envy your patrol and the fact that you get to hang out in Patagonia:victory:

Thanks a lot guys for your kind words !

Really the 4 door Y61 is a world traveller, rock solid, spacious, good clearanced and very reliable off roader ...no matter this , there are a lot of nicer, more economic and more modern rigs, so you shouldn't envy this whale, it is still very heavy (5.500 lbs dry), slow (100 mph) and sucks a lot of fuel (13 mpg at most with 35" at 75 mph on the highway) ... but I don't know why, I wouldn't trade it for anything else :victory:

This is to show the TB45E (straight six, sohc , Efi , cat , 4.5 lt, 205 Hp, compr. ratio 8.3:1) , an engine not known in the USA. This engine then was replaced by the newer TB48DE , which is dohc, 4.8 lt, VTC (variable timing) and producing a more healthy 260 Hp. This engine is widely turbo and supercharged in arabian countries producing in ome cases almost 1.000 Hp.
