New Patrol Ti Vs LC Sahara

I don't own either but in general........

If money is not an issue then put the 100s spare on the back door with a Kaymar type thing. Problem solved.

If you want an interior that doesn't look and feel like it was put together by a drunk first day apprentice, buy the 100s

If you want a solid front axle then buy the Nissan.

Are you sure you can get a Ti with anything other than 4.8 Petrol?

I'd buy a TD6 and put the other $20k towards accessories.

YMMV

sahara-get fridge inside centre console,think get sunrroof,leather seats,airconditioning controls for back and front ie different switches,sat nav system,rear diff lock(may want to chech that as last heard that was getting dropped)-think ,get 17inch wheels with all terrain type tyre(bit better than road tyre),dual battery setup,cd stacker-auto can be used as manual-drive to see what i mean)
if auto over manual u get a switch for 2nd gear start and switch for power mode(holds in gear a bit longer before changing for towing etc
interior has more room especially driving position-has 8 leagal seating positions although 3 on dickie seats is really just for kids but can fit small adults for short trip

against-ifs front limits ability to raise much but drives and handles extremely well as standard,rear wheel under back
dont mention about how much off rd use u do but for basic dirt driving and not to rutted tracks standard suspension would be passable-may need to do something with rear springs if towball weight hheavy as rear sags easily
diesel turbo tows extremely well and pretty good economically
as you know about the nissan will leave it to you but worth driving both on same day to compare

deano
dont know about cracks personally but one of other guys posted picture of where cracks are occurring-will just keep an eye on mine for time being annd see what happens-could potentially be problem
