Bloody Hell Roachie

How much did you pay them

Or is this just a ploy to sell and get the OKA?

Cheers

Nooooo, not an OKA.
We ran these things around Aus when I was in the Airfarce and I swear they spent more time getting towed than they did getting us there.

Having said that, at least they were nice to drive..............(when they worked)

The plan to "upgrade" (?) to an Oka has been shelved and the Patrol is no longer for sale (sigh).... lol

I haven't received my copy of this mag yet so will look forward to postie coming today.....

There have been a few changes even since that photo was taken mid last year. No longer have a winch fitted (never needed it). Have now fitted a home made 4" snorkel to replace the puny Safari unit. Also, the famed chassis craking took place after that photo shoot, so the back of the Patrol has changed too..... no headboard on the front of the tray, no LPG injection etc.

Cheers
