Take a wonder with me around our GU Patrol see what works for us and what we have changed over the last 12 years.

Nice one mate, love the patrols 👍

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Thanks Shad, We have a pretty simple set up but it works well for us.

[@colinmccrae1480]

Thanks so much for the info. Have a GU 2001, 4.5 73,000KM. Was wondering if I should put draws in but what you have done is brilliant and they'll will save on weight too ...

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Colin McCrae Hanks Colin, weight has been a big factor to why I have stuck with the set up for many years. Plus my solar panel and table fit in neatly. Cheers

G'day mate, how many K's has she done all up and have you had to change turbo, injectors, fuel pump etc, thank you

[@OffroadTouringLife]

G’day I have over 400k, original turbo, fuel pump, I have done the injectors though. One alternator and original stater too. Cheers.

@@OffroadTouringLife gee that's bloody good run mate, manual? and diffs still good? thank you for the reply

[@OffroadTouringLife]

@@OffroadTouringLife sorry for all the questions you see i bought a 07 patrol new and had to sell it few years later and loved it and now looking at buying another 2nd hand and just looking at roughly the kms etc what people are getting out of them, so thank you for going out of your way

[@harrywest6624]

Very nice Patrol 👌🏽 I missed what engine and year model this was..

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Zd30 2006. Cheers

[@harrywest6624]

@@OffroadTouringLife Very nice. I've got a ZD30 too. I love it

[@anthonyselby7452]

Have you had that motor rebuild sound like you have done some kilometre in it I have a 2003 3litre (ZD30) just had mine rebuild at 255,000k

[@OffroadTouringLife]

G’day Anthony, I have had the head done. But that’s basically it other Han where and tear items. If you like check out my vid video titled 13 years and 400k. I cover everything there. How has it been since the rebuild? Thanks for watching.

[@anthonyselby7452]

Yeah doesn’t skip a beat now since the rebuild I’ve only done about 15,000k since

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Great. News, safe travels.

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Good stuff Rich! I love the Gu's I think your UHF might be 40 channel not 40 watt lol. Cheers Steve

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Hehe thanks Steve, that’s twice I have said that now about the UHF. Cheers.

[@bogdanhh]

What fuel consumption do you have?

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Good Morning, fuel consumption can vary but is often between 11.5 - 13.5. Cheers

[@bogdanhh]

@@OffroadTouringLife that is great, I have to say. I have a Patrol from 2008 with 32.000 km and the latest 3.0 engine. I can not get below 13.5, even though it is not as well equipped as yours. I have 33 inch Toyo mt tires.

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Is your a Patrol a manual or auto? From everything I have Toyo are a heavy tyre. I have never had them personally so I can’t comment first hand.

[@bogdanhh]

@@OffroadTouringLife manual. I will change them as they are 10 years old. I think at general tire.

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Tyre pressures can also contribute to fuel usage too.
