Mate, it is another Nissan but the main thing is you got your Dad the most appropriate car for the money. He’ll be able to do the trips with you and that’s the most important thing!👍

touch base with Pete from ultimate 9 and recreate that build for your old man. Pete's GU is low wide stable and a monster offroad! i can see your old man hurting some feelings on 2" and 33's if you set him up right 😉😂😂

Nice buy. You're right about the overall costs of making these more capable and functional, which many folk don't realise early on. In short, they cost heaps of cash to modify!

How exciting Gary !

Makes perfect sense to get the patrol. Happy driving

Not a budget build but a comfort build. Spend it where you know it needs it and have fun trying things on the rest

We love having Dad on the adventures Be interesting to keep it more average in modifications and see how far it can get Lockers, tyres , 2 inch lift, bush barriers , winch

We do like Gary , we need some more shots of him with his shirt off , he is the star of the show.

Great choice Tyler and Gary. Noting wrong with a crd, mines done 290k now. Definitely add tilix kit, welded intercooler, scanguage and egt gauge to the list as well.

Looks good! Gary will enjoy his new wheels. That Mux has done a fantastic job.

Might not be the best for content, but it is the best for your old man. Very realistic build too for the every day battler out there, keen to see it keep up with you guys 👌

The auto diesel has a good transcooler setup just needs the transcooler in the radiator bypassed. If you want it to shift a bit firmer you can unplug the plug on the firewall where the clutch master on a manual would be.

the mux did wat it needed for Garry n now dad wants the next step in his touring/offroading life. looking forward to the build that Garry has in mind for the big Pat. so awesome Garry.

nice car. i recently got my 1990 efi 80 series with reg for 6.5k so happy and cant wait to see the build vids on your dads new car

A worthy build series indeed! 🎉

Great choice! Such a good price too.. excited to see how you guys build it up and take it on your future trips..

Awesome stuff mate. Looking forward to seeing the next episode

Yep, keep the lift as low as possible. This way, it will still look good on 33s and will be more stable on the tracks than your GU. Just go longer shocks and keep it simple for now. Garry is going to love it! 😎

Looks like he got exactly what he wants😊 Very clean looking too! Can't wait to see it in action😊

Nice clean patrol! Good buy.

Gday, bloody good to see Gary stepping up a bit, the MUX has done a fantastic job but the time is here, great video mate, cheers

Smart plan mate. Cant wait to see him get it muddy!!

Absolutely love that you got your Dad one of the most capable 4wds on the market! He is going to enjoy it so much! Well done guy's 👏 ✔️

I have a 2009 ZD30 CRD Patrol with a front locker on 33's and it's been an amazing rig, the engine does make me nervous at times but in terms of offroad capability it's incredible. Great choice Gary!

Congrats Gary and good find Tyler. Gunna be a good base to build Dad a nice setup.

Love it! Nothing wrong with “another bloody Patrol”!

Hey Tyler and Gary, love the relationship you fellas have together and shared interests ! I owned a GU ZD30 for many years….. fantastic 4by out in the bush and on road everyday driving ! Absolute must have spare to carry is a genuine Nissan serpentine belt and tensioner assembly with pulley fitted (please don’t go aftermarket just don’t last) its not if - but when - the bushes and hydraulic arm of the assembly will flog out and give you trouble on the tracks ! Change just the tensioner pulley annually with all the off-road work you will be doing, Also doesn’t hurt to carry a genuine MAF sensor they can be temperamental and a show stopper too. All the best fellas….

Can't argue your reasons but the thing with the MUX that will be missed was seeing how a more basic vehicle handled the obstacles.

We have a crd just clicked over 360k bone stock and no major issues

@KarlEller

Being bone stock probably helps, a lot of people boost them to the moon and then complain when they break.

I felt sorry for him having to go around on easier tracks or missing out. He will love it

That is soo cool! Reminds me of my father, who decided that it's time to buy the harley he wanted his whole life at the age of 77, after he'd seen me, bringing my big twin home. 😊👍🏼 My Parents bought a campervan also, after we'd gone on our first trips with the offroad caravan and we met on several trips with them now, what is great for the whole family😀👍🏼

Have owned my identical (2008 aswell) wagon but manual for coming on 7 years now and no intention on selling her any time soon. Have done over 120k on it (has near on 300k) and has been running 21psi factory turbo on a custom remap since about 230k with no massive issues. Definately get a boost controller if it doesnt have one already and maybe egr block and upgrade the intercooler even if just a cheap ebay welded item. Theres a reasonable these are so popular!!! Mine sees alot of off road albeit mainly beach stuff they are a great balance of capable off roaders and comfy long distance tourers!

Good buy. You probably have some spare parts for it already.

Only need tires and recovery points. The other Patrols in the group have winch and its not like it will need it, it is a Patrol after all.

The GUs are great 4x4s we went the same way from a 17 MUX to a 15 GU only regret is fuel economy. Our MUX was making the dreaded police siren sound in the turbo so it had to go, much happier with the GU.

Finally!!!! He needs it and deserves it!

Excellent Gary's back in the game. He won't look back. Nice choice 👍

A good choice for your dad there a great truck I bought one 8 months ago I do hope the poor old bugger is going to up grad to a roof top looking forward to the build and the first trip cheers legends 😄

Depending what your old boy is doing with the mux it could be worth swapping the 4jj1 into this patrol. That could be fun

Great buy! First mod I'd do is a decent bull bar and winch, eveything else looks good to get started with.

Nice buy, will make things easier with common spares etc

Excellent. smiles for gaz 😊

Congratulations on the purchase. I was wondering when it was gonna happen.

You only go for the best mate, and you've definitely nailed it again 👌👌i hope dad enjoys every bit of it. Series 6 i guess that makes it being a 2008👍

Great choice! That would be my next choice as well

Where you got it was in my neck of the woods - Central Coast. Congratulations to your dad. Looks like a fine vehicle. Let the build begin. 👍👍

Even though it’s another Patrol, the GU4 has a number of differences to your current GU, it’s a 3L diesel which is different to the petrol GU and and TD42 in the GQ. Looking forward to seeing the build!

About time you got Gary a real truck!! He will truly make the most of it!!

That coolant pressure tank should be full,🤞it’s doesn’t have a cracked head.

Love the Gu 👌 can’t wait to see what you n dad do with it

Don't overlook the best upgrade after front locker - a valve body upgrade. This will give engine braking in 1st low, a massive benefit offroad. Maybe some 63% reduction gears as well, so Gary can go down and up knarly stuff easily. Throttle control - yes, helps massively on bouncy uphill stuff. Toss the factory intercooler because it's leaking and get at least a welded one. Check if it's got a Tillix valve to support the boost control. Put a second battery in the front wired in parallel so winching gets enough power supply.

I was thinking this exact thing on your last high country vid when Gary had to sit some of those tracks out. I honestly thought you would go down a different road than another patrol but i completely understand your reasoning as to why you got it. And lets all be honest, you cant beat a patrol for off road work. The mux has been great but its most definitely time.

Great news for the old fella and great to see him getting his own big rig!, good plan keeping it as a "smaller" patrol. Please please please throw the factory alloys in the bin BEFORE one parts company and leaves you on 3 wheels with no warning. Well known issue fo a reason: Basic cause is over tensioned wheel nuts distorting the rim but theres more too it. Squashed and distorted wheel nut seats not allowing the rims to abut correctly on the hub face, or allowing the domed nuts to bottom out and feel tight, but the rim isnt actually under tension and then works the nuts loose.... At 100kmh if your lucky you will feel a slight warning wobble before they go walkies. If your not, you will wonder wtf that thing was off to your side bouncing through tree tops before you slam into the ground....

Oh nice! I was actually looking at this exact car and thinking it would be a good buy for anyone looking for a GU.

As much as I am "Ugh, another Patrol 🙄", all that really matters is that Gary is happy with it, and it'll be good seeing him joining you on some of the tougher trips where the MUX couldn't keep up. And there's definitely an advantage to him having a Patrol along with you and Birdo, It's a familiar platform (even if it's a different engine), and you can share the spare parts load between vehicles when travelling as a group.

Coming from a zd30 owner one of the best mods for reliability is a front mount cooler and tillix kit with a tune to suit will make it super reliable.

Not the MUX! 😢 Keen to see the build on the patrol 👌

Music used by Mitsubishi Motors Australia- love it.

The Jeep Wrangler would have been good and aren't as unreliable as some people think. People often complain about stuff breaking on Jeeps, but then give a blind eye to stuff breaking on Toyotas and Nissans when they go wrong. However, where you are, I think you made the right choice with the Patrol as it would be better supported. While there are excellent parts and accessories for Jeeps in Aus, the best stuff always found in US and you would be looking at having stuff shipped over. It would not have made much sense.

Transcooler, intercooler,tune from Evolution tuning. In beerwah Queensland

Those 4 speed autos are very highly geared in low range (only 24.6:1). A set of reduction gears and/or regear diffs to 4.625:1 will really make a difference.

Dad deserves upgrade 👍👍

As solid as these are they don't do tough tracks with mild mods. had a 2008 aswell for 5 years, setup like a tourer and it just didn't perform with the weight, size and lack of power. I've changed to a np300 nav, Its way nicer to drive and very capable as you would know. That said I have a ti 2009 tb48 that build with no intention of touring, flexy lift, 35's and barwork it puts my old gu to shame.

I wish I had thought of that name for a build 😂
