[QUOTE="Elusive, post: 349839, member: 7481"] Each to their own, it would be a boring world if we all had the same likes!! Mad Patrol fan here. Reliable, strongest driveline in the business, strong engine, not great economy, but with a few reliable modifications, they run like a dream. I have had a couple and wouldn't go past the 4.2Turbo engine, although it was unfortunately discontinued due to emissions in 2007. Not a fast engine but definately reliable. Although, if you make them breath properly, discard the restrictive stock turbo and get an efficient turbo bolted on, upgraded injection pump, and you can get a reliable 180plus kW and 700 plus Nm torque.....at the wheels! Plus you will improve the fuel consumption by anywhere up to 8 L/100km. You only really need a good set of muddies, a 2" lift and a winch and you are pretty well prepared for what most tracks throw at you. Gets us into most areas and back out again with the camper on the back and loaded up with the family. Cheers, Elusive [/QUOTE]
