You can definetly see the styling influences of the other makes.
I reckon it works well though.
Be nice if they came up with something more original next time.

Does that mean the suspension will be different from the current specification? Is it still solid axle?

The factory bumper on the GU has always been fooken ugly ..
Get a decent bullbar on it should improve its looks no end ..
Perhaps the end for the TD42 ???
Titan V8 ?? (that would be very
)

That's horrid
Roly,
have you got any specs on the new diesel? I presume they will still keep the 4.8 in it's current from and the 3L is staying... surely they'll upgrade the 4.2
unless their latest is a bling front mount!

well 6" lift kit, bar work, d/lights and q78's would look sweet
I'll have one if some-one cough's up the 60k for one

I can't see front hubs.Is it full time?
Also there's no second lever(high range/low range selector),perhaps Pathie stile electronics.

thats the Super safari version which they sell in saudi etc with all the bling optional extras etc 4.8 lt , 280hp or so

RIP Patrol
That is as Gay as they come... With Paj rear lights, or is that some smart Photochop work??
From the local nissan bloke and a bloke who works for Nissan in our club,
THERE IS NO UPDATE TO THE TD42!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! You cant improve on perfection...
Also STILL NO AUTO IN THE 4.2!!!!

I dont mind it. As for the bumpers, who cares they are going to get replaced with a Bullbar and steel tyre carrier rear bumper anyway.
Then a 3"susp kit and some 33's and I would have a nice tourer.

pretty much sums it up. Cant see myself in one. Pretty much shames me the fact that i own a patrol.
Surely it could have been better than that...
Engine options???

The cut out for the petrol cap in the flare is an absolute shocker.
Ditto about the auto option with the TD 4.2. THe only regret that I have with mine.

I'm sure there are companies out there doing a aftermarket option. What box do they end up using? I think from memory Bogged is the only TD42 auto around. Anyone else with info?

I have seen other tD42 autos in the GQ, are these not factory?
