I chose the Nissan over the Landcruiser for a number of reasons.
1 - The Nissan has coils all round, far better of road, more options for suspension packages and strong all round.
2 - The Toyota has the small front diff and owning a 100 series with same size diff and blowing that up I was not going there again, and only available with rear leaf springs.
The only down side to the Nissan is the engine compared to the Toyota, the toyo has great low down grunt but spend a few dollars on the nissan getting it tuned and it certainly will be better than standard.

i know the toyota weak point is the front diff
What weak points..........4" will fit 36s under, but the bushes don't quite adjust the castor quite enough, would suggest 5' with castor plates or droped arms, and 35s work nice under them.
I have a 2" ome under mine, and more than happy with the offroad performance even with 32s
certainly have not heard of any serious multiple probs on the GUs cept the 3.0tdi, but ask the Q in the nissan forum
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
Whats wrong with the 3.0tdi patrolls? i was planning upgrading also (family wagon ute is gooooone ) But it there is a problem inherent to this type then it may be delayed
Let me know so i can break the news to the boss!!

Some early ones were having probs, but from what I understand, any older ones will have been fixed by now, and the newer ones have been rectified, but year / series ask on the nissan board

will i be able to fit 34"simex with a 3 or 4" lift kit
with the 34 on how much will it efect low range
Yes to airlockers, 4" will fit simexs no probs, and low range will be fine, but you may want to think about crawlers
