Nice! Let your adventure begin! Those friggin' toll roads are expensive but worth it. I am just curious about a few things since I know routes down through the same area. Did you track mileage from the border south? If so what was it? And by driving hard can you tell us how many hours a day...

Nice Jeep! I see you have the RCV axles in front. How are you liking them?

My Patrol with an SD33 is 6,000lbs, my motor has over 350,000ks on it and is holding up fine. It is far from a speed demon though. If you are going to use it in a DD and want some decent performance. A turbo is a must, as well as a free flow exhaust. I would also strongly suggest and intercooler.

The manual is stronger by a fair amount in the Patrol over the Cruiser or Rover. Although I am sure this oculd be debated to no end and the Patrols t-case is chain driven. Many guys in Australia are running 500hp+ engines with the stock gear boxes and have no problems. Having said that, I have...

Patrol, TD42, 4-door. Super reliable engine strongest axles of the bunch plenty of room with the 4-door and rear jump seats Full box frame that will be hard to kill All the luxury items like A/C, P/W, P/L and so forth

Yup...that is a good vintage video. Goes to show how much more of an adventure this trip would have been back in the day.

Oh yeah....I bought a Shockworks C200 axle diff skid awhile back for my Patrol. The Patrol however with the C200 has a narrower cover. I simply cut the skid in half, removed about 3/8" from it and welded it back together. Here is a picture after I modded it....it is pretty stout and as you can...

Good to see ARB supporting the Nissans more. All those holes will suck though for the rocks. As I always say, any good fab shop could fab up a set for close to the same price, IMHO.

pretty unique and cool

You should see the smog that forms somethimes here in the JH area from all the hundreds of thousands of cars in GTNP and Yellowstone. Not to mention Wilson, Wyoming smells badly like bruning brakes for at least 1/2 the year.

How in the world is suggesting safe travel, knowledge in not only your vehcile but how to repair it uselss criticism?? Oh and lets not forget how to safely recover the vehicle plus to to make that 15k winch pull much harder than 15klbs. If I have recovered my vehicle many times, many different...

This thread brings up a lot of points. I just scanned over the whole thread, reading posts and comments here and there. consumption and pollution: While I agree using a large gas guzzler to go buy groceries is a bit wasteful. I would ask any one of you this; how many time a day do you flush...

Thanks! Here are the video clips I have been mentioning. Since this was a fast trip down we didn't spend a lot of time taking video. The video clips are not as good as the previous trip but this drive was different and much faster going down to Panama. There are some good clips in here none...

nicely done, looks fantastic!

My good buddy Jaime Sharp got involved with Trak Kayaks about two years ago. I myself enjoy kayaking and boating in general and met Jaime via the sport. Jaime is a guide in adventure tourism but also an adventurer at heart. He picked up a Trak about two years ago and set out to test this boat. I...

you may want to carry some spare bulbs too, at the least. Take the K&N kit with you, no reason you can't clean the filter on the road. And where you are going, you may need to.

Careful with that, it is highly illegal in most states. I am not familiar at all with the Mitsu's but it seems very odd to me to have not frame number and no engine number, especially on a vehicle built after 1980. I have had a bunch of very rare Nissan Patrols, only 2616 sold in the USA. They...

I think you make a good and very valid point. But.... Unless you know exactly where a picture is taken you have no idea if it is really "off trail". It could be on private land, it could be in a different country then the USA or it could be there is no trail, ie desert. I do recall, I would...

I got to ask....some of these posts in this thread are meant to be funny right!?

Raflo also makes 80-series shocks, not sure about for a 4" lift. http://www.metaltech4x4.com/m-52-radflo-shocks.aspx http://www.radflo.com/default.htm If you want a nice high performance shock and can't find an off the shelf bolt in application. Simply make your own shocks mounts or buy new...
