plonker has a new ladies hilux... nothing like the old breed

If you think GU's are agricultural and want a poofters vehicle, buy a Toyota.

Drove a 70 series cruiser and an MQ before buying mine. Cruiser definately a tractor, Patrol far more refined. Id be stoked to have a GU over my MQ, even a GQ would be nice. But for what they are they drive pretty good on the highway.

one word nissan
we had a bit of a hole dug at the deni ute muster and thear was only 2 cars that went threw it in 2wd and thay wear both gq and in the tow off one of me m8t's had agents a kroozer in his gu no prize for gusing who got draged back wads for about 75 m threw the hole we dug so y would you buy any thing else but a nissan

Imagine how much I notice it jumping from my car into the Patrol

And your car is?? A GoGo mobile???

Nah, its a Roller - you said so on page 1

I bet a lo of the young guys on this forum will, in a few years time, look back fondly of their adventures in their "agricultural" 4WD's. - As I remember my youth with Dad's 40.

I new car will ALWAYS feel move refined - thats "progress" - but my old GQ will still be going, and more enjoyable - in 20 years time.

I used to race around Lakeside Raceway in my 260Z Datsun, and while it was not as fast as a V8 Supercar - it made all the right noises and felt fantastic.

Its the same with 4WD's. Its about the fun, not the money.

I traded my april 05 prado grande in on a GU earlier this month, knowing full well I'd be getting rid of a car that was beautiful on road and taking delivery of one that was going to be a bit rough. Best thing I've ever done since I got the 4wd bug.

i guess theres 9 brain washed idiots born every day. nothing to do with the fact that toyota spends more $ from new car sales on marketing than any other car manufacture, WORLDWIDE. that there leaseing prices are cheaper than anyones and there second hand prices are among the best. popular does not mean best......remember beta video's

if i wasn't a rover nut i would buy a gu in a heart beat. but wouldn't piss on a toyota if it was on fire.

my personal opinion count's for nothing

cheers, Serg

i piss me self when i found out our old MQ had suspension seats cause nothing else seem to, its like driving a lego car only lego wouldnt rust

I have Rover series 3 109 and I love driving it. Also have GQ and love it too. If GQ aint comfortable considering what it is then you must want a sales repmobile. Can just see them drivin GQ in a suit with shirt and tie "Ooo Cedric don`t you think this susoension is rather crude" Oh My!!!

i thought i'd just bring back this thread after reading my post's when i was a nooby.
yeh i was not stupid just uneducated, still a toyota fan though, and will never buy a gq or gu. i like that underdog feeling.

u wanna be the under dog go buy a jeep

otherwise wake up to yourself

ps if you want to make a patrol feel good on the road spend all week in an over loaded expressvan with ladders on the roof.
makes my patrol feel like a race car

Now Harley Davidson's are agricultural. I guite often get off the old Massey Ferguson tractor after a long days work and find the Nissan most luxurious...I'll have to try getting into something more 'soft-istocated' . I've been agricultural and in my book the GU is far from agricultural. I think what your trying to say is that the GU isn't as comfortable on road as some of the more cross breed 'softer' 4x4's out there. I recently hit a stump at 30k's and I'm still driving...now that's agricultural.

stupidest thread EVAR!!

good call roly, they do drive like a junk pile...

still they are affordable particularly the ZD30 ones (im lookin to buy one)

as for toyota vs nissan, toyota builds a better car, you pay more for the priviledge, get over it you tossers

no u

my wrx goes faster, handles better and rides better than my gq
who would have thought as they are both 4 wheel drive
sarcasm intended

Drive an IFS hilux all day on dirt roads and u will see how shit they really are. Yes they handle pretty good onroad but take them out and use them and they die.
We have 3 at work and are used on mainly graded dirt roads. After less than 50,000km the front ends are stuffed. We dont even bother with wheel alignments anymore cause they go out of wack so easy.

I will take the patrol any day

upgrade the brakes and it will pull up fine,
i changed the rotors to slotted and new pads all round and it pulls up heaps better now.
when i change the brake lines it should pull up even quicker ive been told.
this is with 35s too

I hear you all, but when I get out of an 6 litre SS and into the Mav, I just adjust my driving style.


Its funny though, I get the exactly the same feeling from the public whether I drive either. I'm just an arsehole

the GU looks like an 80 series, just 10 years later

what? you need your eyes checked
