Ill Try again, Not sure what happened.
Hey Goona Head, I was not "having a go" I couldn't give a $hit about what you have written. Just wanted to know the facts. It seems from the responses that I was not the only one that thinks that you were saying "NA NA NANANA". Maybe you should have written the post a bit better.
My Vehicles are (for what its worth):
2002 Troop Carrier (Solid axles)
Current model Turbo Hilux (IFS)
HJ61 12HT (solid Axles)
Current Model 3.8 Pajero (IFS)
Holden Commadore (solid axle)
You have answered your own questions about why some vehicles struggled with your point on tyre types. The standard tyres on Toyotas and Nissans are actually made to suit the common denominator buyer and their usage. This is actually calculated by the marketers at 95% on road 5% off road. An AT tyre is far more superior to anything that would be provided new on a car. This is where ALL of the difference is when climbing wet hills. Next time your posts would be more informative if you give us all of the facts not just the ones that justify your vehicle purchase choice.
You may not have been the one "hacking off at other vehicles as stated by LC and Lexus "those Nissans will never make it up here" on the day, but you were having a go in the post.
I have owned both Toyoyas , Nissans, and Mitsubishis and couldnt give a $hit about any of them. The are just cars. Its the BS that flows in these posts and the lack of facts in stupid posts like these that is a waste of space on one of the top 4WD forums in the country.
If you wanted an argument on Nissan Vs Toyota or IFS vs Solid I am not interested. I reiterate my comment.though, just do a search on this or any of the number of 4WD forums and checkout all of the blown motors, fuel pump probs, sensor probs, brake probs etc... for Patrols built in the last 5 years and you may see a reason why some people buy other brands.
You certainly have not offended me. My skin is pretty thick. Just stop watsing our time with crap and give us all of the variables so the post has some merit. Actually I am not sure why I even answered you in the first place. Truckster would say that I have been caught by a fisherman Trolling. See ya. Going skiing for 2 hours. The sun is out and all lifts are operating.
