Hi all,
I'm in the throes of updating the '86 SD33T diesel Patrol, my fourth Patrol. It's like me, approaching it's 'Use By Date', well maybe not, I think it's got more K's left in it than I have.
Anyway I've decided if I don't do 'The Cape' and the Gibbs River Road soon, I'll be too ferkin' decrepit. I'm also a keen amateur photographer with a real love for our big red paddock. I did a little 22,000K run, mostly Highway 1 in the late 90's on my 1200 Bandit, so I have a rough idea of the lay of the land.
Having owned two GT Falcons, a 1275cc Cooper "S", a few other lusty 351's and the Bandit, I think I'm over the 'Hero' stuff but I'm looking for reliable and tough. I guess these days I'm more of a 'Go far' than a 'Go fast' sort of bloke.
Have pruned my list down to the Navara D22 ST-R. Others on my list were the D40, BT-50.
Anyway, as you have already sussed, I waffle on a bit.
I have some specific questions for D22 owners which I'll post in the appropriate forum.
Oh, and I loved reading sparra04's build thread.
Cheers
