gu patrol

i posted that in FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait for it. They're coming .... or under the GU fiddling, or on the phone to Nissan, or on the roadside somewhere looking for a missing wheel LOLOL

ime waiting. ime ready!!!

They are bleep heaps.

the question was .ARE THEY A BAD MODEL??????????

You won't get a straight answer till the next model arrives!! HA HA .

Thats not nice.....My opinion only, good model 1 bad design motor put a ellement of doubt there.

Axle.

JUST WANTED THE TRUTH. THATS ALL.

The truth? Did i state any false facts? The truth is not always black and white hz75, there is grey. Good and bad points with everything. You need to weigh up those and decide from there.

ARE THEY A BAD MODEL?????????? A GU with a 3 litre is different than a GU with a 4.2.

ARE THEY A BAD MODEL.NO!
THEN WHY ARE THERE SO MANY POSTS ABOUT THEM ON THIS FORUM??????????

"ARE THEY A BAD MODEL.NO!
THEN WHY ARE THERE SO MANY POSTS ABOUT THEM ON THIS FORUM??????????"

Short answer is, this is a forum of people who use their trucks for their intend design and as such vehicle choice is numbered heavily in favour of the Patrols and therefore more likelyhood of reported incidences being reported on here.

If you want me to start on the short comings of my 100series give me your email addy as I don't want to clog up the system here with all the days off the road with that vehicle. Only thing in that vehicles favour was the terrific warranty but so it should be with an extra 15-20 grand purchase price.

My line is now out and set for the big one. hahaha.

All in fun Trevor.

"Short answer is, this is a forum of people who use their trucks for their intend design and as such vehicle choice is numbered heavily in favour of the Patrols and therefore more likelyhood of reported incidences being reported on here."

Have to disagree with this statement...at least until I see hard evidence to the contrary.

Off-track,

I know it only accounts for a portion of the posters on this forum but the Members tab at the top of the screen has a drop down list which includes members rigs. Have a look here, lots of rigs...so many Patrols. I went looking for the proportion of vehicle types but could not find it. Maybe an EO staffer would be able to set the records straight??? as to how many of each vehicle type the members have???

As I hinted "all in fun",
Trevor.

Yeah I know mate, hence I wasnt going to take the bait :-)

Oh Boy!
Are you gunna cop it! (I agree with you, but I'm not gunna tell anyone).

(Must be past my bed time====Night, night).

No, Toyota actually outsell Nissan in the 4wd stakes...right across the board.

That is just so much total rubbish! I work in the motor trade as a 4wd mechanic and and 1hdt bottom end failures are not an issue.

"ouch now I'm gunna get hammered"

No not really, I think even Nissan owners mostly would agree with you, they still would'nt swap you though hahahaha.

Well said

I have had no dramas with my 99 GU

Short comings, engine failures, back doors cracking/splitting,wheels coming off, if those are examples of "short comings" mate I'll hang on to my old Toyo thank you, it might not get me there as fast as the GU but at least it will get me there...........

Dave, didn't I say "Toyota did last century but they don't make them like that any more" You are talking about your old one. Broken front suspensions, broken front diffs, gear box problems of the 100s this century.

I think 4.2TDI Nissans are as tough as the old 60 and 80 series and still being built. As for getting there as "not as quickly" I think the 100kph limit covers all of us Dave so get there the same time as long as yours keeps going.
