Come along with the ‪@AussieAdventureFamily‬ as they pick up their new tow rig, a brand new Nissan Y62 Patrol! Pre-registration modifications have been completed by a company in Toowoomba QLD. DMW were fantastic to deal with and their finished product is awesome!

Well done guys. Your channel just popped up. We picked up our Patrol Warrior 2 weeks ago at Nissan Aspley. We did the 3999 DMW pre rego at EC Offroad, same Crawler wheels but we kept the 295 Geolanders that were already on it and the 12.3 screen. It hasn't clocked 200klm's yet but goes back to EC after 1000klm for a GVM check up. Not sure if you got told the same from DMW. Our Prado looks like a matchbox car beside the Patrol...it's huge....know what you mean..

Hi can I ask there was any difference in getting the 3999 dmw pre rego than a til compared to the warrior?

@TA-wg9oi 6 ай бұрын

@@NicholasDikkenbergNickD To be honest, I wasn't sure if a GVM and GCM upgrade could be done to a Warrior after Premcar had already modified the suspension. I contacted EC Offroad and they said, of course it can be done. The cost difference between the 3999 & 4499 was about $3,300 (lower rear arms and maybe different coils..not sure if the same coils are used for both). We were told if we didn't want a rear bar and extra tank (like you got), the 3999 would be sufficient. Aspley trucked the car to EC and picked it up at no cost to me.

Congrats. I found when going from my 2017 Hilux, to my 23 TI-L, the width of the vehicle was the hardest thing for the Mrs to get used to. Chalk and cheese from the Colorado and the Y62. Holds the road superbly, even in wind. Awesome stopping ability and doesn't look back when overtaking. I absolutely love towing my van with mine. Sub'd.

Congrats on the new tow rig! It takes a few fill-ups to get used to the high total on the pump with big capacity, I know. I'm in the US and haul a travel trailer with a Ram dually that's also thirsty (50 gal tank), and also own a couple of semis for even bigger fill ups (238 gal useful). A while back fuel prices spiked here after some storms took out refinery capacity, leading to a couple fills on the semis that went over $1,000. That'll make your eyes bug out! Looks like you popped into my feed at the beginning of your adventure. Subbed and looking forward to seeing more!

So a 295/70R18 is not 34 and a quarter inch anymore? When did this happen? Love how quick he was to tell her no that's not correct when he has no idea himself 😂

@stephenrogers9664 6 ай бұрын

You can’t have too much fuel capacity. It’s not just going out bush. Just driving the Stuart Hwy, & getting fuel at those servo’s along the way. Now you can bypass all of them 👍

Gvm upgrade include bigger brakes bigger radiator ect. Axel's upgraded as well?

@AussieAdventureFamily 6 ай бұрын

Hey! To my knowledge, the brakes and radiator are unchanged. The rear Lower Control Arms were changed, diff bracing, rated springs and also extended Upper Control Arms as well as the HBMC modified. Hope that helps :)

Does it drive as well on road with the gvm. My worry is that it wont be as nice

@AussieAdventureFamily 6 ай бұрын

The extra height from the lift & larger tyres create extra body roll, that's for sure!. Suspension wise, we don't know what a 'standard' Y62 drives like lol. Our assumption is that it drives firmer, due to the rated springs. Must admit, the ride wasn't as important to us as the GVM and being legal. We came from a RG Colorado.. so we are more comfortable with the car being larger too.

I imagine you've already done this but I believe there are various website and apps that tracks fuel prices so you can get the best bang for your buck.
