Óskar Erlingsson in Iceland has made all the necessary changes to fit 44 inch Fun Country tires under his monster Nissan Patrol. Serious work has been done on the drive train and engine with more to come.
The Ultimate Datsun ...modified Nissan Patrol 1993 on 44 inch tires.
49 Inch Modified Patrol/Chevy - Part I Time has come to take away manufacturing faults of this otherwise fine automobile. Common 44 inch modification was not quite up to par. Engine and driveline (mostly front wheel bearings) proved too small and too weak.
Björgvin goes wheeling mostly in Iceland highlands during the winter time and also in the summer time. Nissan Patrol 2001 44 inch tires all available radio and communication equipment. Differential locks on both back and front wheels.
I'm just admiring your 4x4 vehicles and what you do in Iceland. Here in Aus we tend to worry more about mud and dust - more dust than mud lately.
I'm impressed with the size of tyres you can use. I'm about to raise my Patrol and currently run 33-inch tyres. I'd like to go to 35s but we're very mindful of the lack of power of the Patrol 4.2 TDi.
Out of factory we only get approx 80HP at the rear wheels. I've got some mods made which I now get 110HP. A little better performance which was needed when I went to the 33-inch tyres.
What engine mods do you guys do to be able to drive those 44-inch tyres and all the stuff you carry at the back.
Yes I'm very jealous. I'd love the 44-inch solution but I wont be able to fit on our crappy road systems in Australia.
Let me know what sort of engines you have available to you and what sort of power you are able to achieve.
2005 Nissan Patrol 4x4 - Salmon likes to take his Patrol wheeling in the Kuwait desert and Saudi Arabia. The terrain is like soft landscape and sand. He likes to meet with a big group of 4x4 cars for camping and take his new 4x4 and add strange accessories and find things to add to his Nissan Patrol 4x4.
2002 Nissan Patrol Y61 Klavs from Denmark has already done some mods to his Patrol: 33" MT, 3" straight through exhaust, Safari Snorkel. More is coming: 3" EMU suspension lift, possible 35" MT, ARB Roof Rack, ARB Winch Bumper, Warn Winch
2001 Nissan Patrol cab-chassis Tanya from Australia goes wheeling in the Nissan patrol pickup to the Landcruiser Mountain Park in Queensland. Terrain ranges from easy to very difficult with lots of rocks.
Cjarles' Nissan Patrol is a 1995 4.2L SGL S/W. He has done a few modifications to the suspension namely increasing the ride height adding longer coils and shocks and fitting MAXXIS Bighorn MudTerain tyres.
Pete from Australia goes all over the country of Victoria on his 1991 GQ Nissan Patrol Wagon 7 Seater.
Lately they have been going through the Wombat state forest.
Its full of mud, shale, water and big deep holes !!!!
Steep hills up and down make it a real challenge to negotiate.
1986 Nissan Patrol Super Roof 160 3.3Td - Inge likes to go wheeling everywhere but Iceland and Australia is the big dream she has. Australia is too far and to expensive to take the car but Iceland she is going some day with her Patrol.
