Dont start this one up - it is futile. - Toyota do have the numbers out there but Nissans big advantage is its capability and drive trains (do a search on lsd and front diff) - Even Landcruiser Park uses Nissan patrols for its recovery vehicles - sort of makes arguing for and against a moot point - just drive what you like and leave each to his own.

i have a 4.2 diesel GU Patrol and it has been a great vehicle for me
i am sure the landcruiser would do the same job....now stop boring the crap out of us and show us what you know about 4 wheelin'... I sure there is a wealth of knowledge hidden there somewhere

Its ok Wayne, no need to explain... really, Im sure your car has been fine ;-)

And like anything on this forum, or on the net, if you dont like it, or it bores you, dont read it.....simple, but everyone has the right to post here, even relevant data like I have, just as everyone has the right to choose wether to read it .....or not......

Wayne,

You're right, Darren actually actually does have a great deal of knowledge, but when he gets on this forum, at times, he can't help himself. For reasons I don't understand he has a desire to upset people.

If the car's not a Toyota, or the product you are discussing is not expensive, he derides it.

"You get what you pay for" and "poor people can't afford cheap things" are his catchcries. Some of us buy according to value and quality, not what advertising tells us to buy.

He could add a lot more value to this forum by being constructive.

It's up to him and what gives him enjoyment.

Cheers,

Jimbo,
Im not sure what you think my so called "catch cries" mean,

[you said You get what you pay for" and "poor people can't afford cheap things" are his catchcries.]

But my meaning of them is the same as you have said

"Some of us buy according to value and quality, not what advertising tells us to buy."

But your entitled to think what you like I guess.....

Darren,

As are you.

As long as we help others to make informed choices, a significant contribution will have been made.

Your knowledge on many issues is valuable to many.
