Some of you may remember my massive conversion of my ZD30 Patrol back in 2008 !!
Following the detonation of that horrible engine I converted my Parol by inserting a 1HD-FTE quad valve Tojo engine into it.

Now here we are in 2016 & this beast is still as good as it was back then. I've since covered well over 300000km, all over Australia, mostly towing 2.5 ton of c/van & without the slightest problem.

I had reservations about certain aspects of the conversion back then that evaporated very quickly.

I looked at trading it in late last year & decided that would be a mistake as NO "modern" 4wd could match it for ability & toughness. Instead I spent a little cash freshening it up & found nothing really wrong with it. Replaced injector pipes, all drive belts, new gas shocks + a few new bushes etc and it drives like new again without the 70-90 k price tag.

Thanks once again to Total Care 4wd Seven Hills NSW.

Over the years I've had lots of people from all over the world asking advice for them to do the same. I know personally 2 others that have since done this & and now truly love their Patrol's. At least 6-7 others have had Total Care convert theirs.

No regrets.
