I will never recover what I have into this engine, but I must recover some of it! This is an SD33T diesel from an 1984 Nissan Patrol. I had it built to the hilt in Australia and then imported it to the USA. The engine build cost me over $25kusd. It than cost me $5k to import, in the 84 Patrol...

Yup but unfortunately I will not finish it before I leave in a few months. Cheers

The truck has both front and rear PTO boxes. I have x2 PTO winches to go with that. I am planning to run front & rear PTO winches on the truck. Cheers

I am leaving J-Hole and this is one of the major reasons why. The place I live is for sale, 4.33acres in a sweet area of the valley. Two houses (major dumps), a shop (not up to code), a polluted well you can't drink, more weeds than 90+% of the properties here just to name a few issues...

I have got just the truck for your next build. A 1977 Nissan Patrol Ute, see my sig. ;) Cheers

Flat belly vs not so flat belly is the same on the Patrol vs the Land Cruiser. Cheers

Right on! We might cross paths, the road is kind of like that. I will be going slow though, my last two trips were fast, this one will be slow. How long do you plan to take to get to TDF? Really at this point, as long as it is not the USA, that is all I am thinking about. We don't need to get...

Thanks a bunch for the positive feedback Frenchie! That is really good to hear. I have no desire to make a ton of money, just live a simple good life filled with what I love. I like to work but I got to have passion for it which I don't currently have. Cheers

Hey all, I am a bit early on this thread but figured why not get it going now!? I have been on the forum for awhile, built a lot of trucks and have done two drives down to Panama and back. Here is my two trips I did reports on here on ExPo...

Hate the low seating position, it's like you are sitting on the floor. Can't see out of it very well, especially the back window. The knob for 4wd is right next to the A/C-heater controls, I engaged it on accident. Rear windows down but front up and it has a very loud and annoying, whomp...

You are not messing around one bit! The Troll will thank you for giving it love. Cheers

Wherever they did that photo shoot is some amazing country! I am not a fan of the Y62 but for a grocery getter it is real nice. Cheers

Stunning pictures, amazing country and one sweet Patrol, even in stock form. The red is not for me but if you like it that is all that matters. Patrols have such a better designed suspension than the Cruisers, everything is up high and nice and tight, even the t-case is above the frame rails...

Sold the truck, so that is it with me and the build. It is going to RSO Performance to be finished up for the new owner. Cheers

2006 and 2007 are the best years for the 100 series. 5spd auto trans and a little more power out of the engine vs previous years. Find as low mile as you can is my suggestion. A 2.5" lift, some 33" rubber, a front bumper and a winch and a set of sliders. That is what I would start with, get...

Front Runner sells just the rails. Cheers

Really nice work! Fan shroud is everything on these v8 swapped trucks and that is looking real nice. Cheers

The FJ142 got washed and waxed today. Such a nice body on this truck, seriously. I know mostly rear end shots, I like the back end on these trucks! It looks funky right now because there are lifted coils up front and stock in the back. The front coils are so "sprung" that the OME shocks I put in...

Well after nearly two weeks of busting my ******** everyday I have built an FJ142! :) This is not a flex test, I am just putting wheels on and that kind of stuff. It is going to flex real nice though! ;) Getting the frame back up under the body after pulling it out one last time to do final...

Nice work! Interesting with the fuel cans behind the spare tire, don't think I have seen that before. Looking good.... Cheers
