Congratulations. Getting a new car is very exciting. I agree with you with the centre vertical dash. The Y62 looks modern until you hop inside and see the dash. It needs an upgrade using gear from EC Offroad to made it modern. Looking forward to the mods.
Congrats mate you are going to absolutely love it. One of the Best cars I've owned. I'll be honest don't care much about the interior I don't mind it. I Bluetooth my music that's all I need I suppose. Bought phone holders from clicon or hold my phone there great. Enjoy brother, Ps your going to find it better on fuel than your previous car 😉
Congrats! Thanks for sharing your experience of picking the car up. George looked just as excited.. I can ony imagine what I'll be like when i get to buy my first brand new car too. Glad you are enjoying it, they look to be a great car. Can't wait to see how youe build progresses too.
The excitement is contagious Steve. Congrats on the very nice new Y62. This made me want to buy one for a minute. Need more coin. Exciting times coming to watch your build progress 👍🏻
Congrats on the new Patrol Steve, that's what my X-Trail wants to be when it grows up lol 😂. Really nice car, I quite like the woodgrain but each to their own. Can't wait to see what you do with the car.
Really happy for you mate 👍 shes mint. I have the y61 Ti, haven’t upgraded to y62 cos of its suspension, BUT may do in the near future. Eagerly looking forward to watching your build vids. Sweet as 🤘
The only real issue I've seen on Y62 suspension is the weak lower control arms which is why I've seen people changing to the billet ones. ruclips.net/video/OOoZEpsrGJ8/видео.html Bit more work involved to lift them also, due to the HBMC. Still a good rig and definitely a better value proposition compared to LC300.
@@Australian4x4Adventures Yeah I get it; not fussed about the motivations, but I like your videos and will be taking much more interest in the vehicle videos now that it's not just another Landcruiser channel!
In the process of buying the til like yours, maybe even the same color. Like you, I want to change a few things on the dash and screen. Could you give me the heads up on where to get a good quality change over not a back yard job. I am not a car buff like you so my knowledge in this field is limited. Thanks
I would’ve bought a late model low k’s second-hand one & saved a shitload of cash💰& put that towards fixing the crap suspension & twin exhaust, spew’n it’s notta manual. Still prefer my GU Td42ti Coily Ute✅✅✅
I wish they made one in a manual dual cab solid axel. Mrs trying to get me to sell my gu stroker td coily but I have baby seat in it as no airbags. Our 2022 til is good for the family trips but a solid axel swap dual cab Manual would be a great vehicle for farm and off-road. Hard to beat the gu
Hi George noticed you have a dash conversion on your patrol would you recommend this product? I have heard mixed reviews also could you pass on details if so please
He obviously stopped being told what is agood 4wd and went and bought one and saved enough money for all his mods... standard 300 or a fully modified Y62 same price... if you pick the cruiser I'm guessing you were in the general maths class at school
@@brettleonard8602 🥱……It’s all in fun mate. You buy the car you want to justify your needs. I own a 200 series would I buy a Patrol yeah sure if I needed another car.
It’s a shame ppl can’t just be happy for other ppl and what they want to do in life. In stock form the car isn’t capable of doing what I want it to do. So that means modifying it.
Toyota shoots in thier own foot by downgrading LC 300 with ugly looks and small size. This gives a new market for Nissan Patrol, although Patrol has their own fan base of its own, but this will increase more. Congratulations
@@Australian4x4Adventures that’s the common complaint I hear, I work at a Nissan dealer and we’ve had 2 people after waiting 12+ months come in with their new 300s and order TI-L patrols
@@jacksonwelch9870 Shame Nissan has essentially done the same thing now the Y62 is stopped... the next Patrol will be smaller and a v6 like the 300 no doubt.
@@jacksonwelch9870 Really? when I went in 6 months ago, both local Nissan Dealers told me Order taking for the Y62 had stopped due to the massive wait times, and there was no plan to start taking orders again.... For that very reason I had to order elsewhere.
I’m a fairly big guy so they feel fine to me. The wife seems to think they are too wide and she feels like she’s sliding around on the seat a bit. Done 10 hrs in it the weekend and it was fine. Got out feeling fine.
@Australian 4x4 Adventures oh interesting, did you find it feels like a 4wd.. or do u find the suspension hard and car like. Maybe it just takes a bit to get used, too? But also congrats on the new car mate 👍

I totally agree! Lots of cool mods to come to make it my own
Good onya mate. Even if you've moved to the dark side...... I'm looking forward to the build (And just quietly, the footage of you smashing CVs :) )
Hahahaha. Stand by for “ how to replace your cv “ videos 😂
WOW. That is awesome ,congrats on the new toy. We haven’t seen George for ages 👍👍👍👍
Yeah he’s been busy renovating his house
Bloody oath!! Awesome stuff! Congratulations Mate! Look forward to watching all the add ons.
Much appreciated!
Congrats, I’m waiting for delivery of my new TI-L in July. Eagerly waiting to see your build. New sub by the way.👍
Thanks for the sub! And welcome to the family.
Lots of build vids to come
Glad you got the Mighty Nissan Patrol!💪
Me too! Haha.
Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the build.. absolutely love my 22 model y62. It's a beast
You and me both!
Looking forward to seeing the build mate. Congrats on getting the new rig, better than a Landcrusier lol.
Hahahaha. Time will tell if it’s better or not.
Congrats mate you are going to absolutely love it. One of the Best cars I've owned. I'll be honest don't care much about the interior I don't mind it. I Bluetooth my music that's all I need I suppose. Bought phone holders from clicon or hold my phone there great.
Enjoy brother,
Ps your going to find it better on fuel than your previous car 😉
So far with the fuel it is actually better already. But I’ll wait and see what it’s like once it got all the weight on it.
Yeah I agree. I dont hate my interior as much as I thought I did. It grows on you. I'm the same Bluetooth the music and crank it up thats all I need..
Congrats! Thanks for sharing your experience of picking the car up. George looked just as excited.. I can ony imagine what I'll be like when i get to buy my first brand new car too. Glad you are enjoying it, they look to be a great car. Can't wait to see how youe build progresses too.

Congratulations mate. I'm really looking forward to watching the build!
You and me both!
Congratulations mate I’m stoked for you 🤙🏼🍻
You and me both!
How exciting. I just love that new car feeling. Curious to see what your plans are for that wood panneling. It's not that bad.
Congrats on the new fourby. Looking forward to the build.
Thanks mate. 🙏
Congrats buddy. Even though you have gone to the dark side lol. Enjoy. She looks great.
Haha. It’s silver. Lighter then your beast 😝. Maybe your the dark side.
Love it ! cannot wait on the build :)
Me neither
Nice! I’ve been waiting almost 15 months for my new 4WD. I still don’t even have a build date 😥
Ohhh that would suck. Was 9 months for me.
Congrats! You have a 90s woodgrain interior in your 2023 vehicle however I have 80s interior in my 2011 76 series cruiser. Cheers
Hahaha. We are all a bit behind the times hey haha

😂. Your x trails got some growing to do hahaha.
@@Australian4x4Adventures It certainly has lol 😂
😂😂😂😂 gold
Very nice Steve - if my Amarok isn't up to towing the van we want, a Y62 is on the cards as it makes sense over a 300 or American dual cab...
The new aamorks arnt too bad over all I think you should be fine
@@Australian4x4Adventures I've got a 2013 2 litre like Greggo used to have
I love seeing George in your videos👍
Who’s George? Oh he was my Uber driver that’s right 😝
Congratulations bro 🎉 what shame you had to pick it up in the rain bloody Melbourne 💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Melb summer for ya hahaha
Really happy for you mate 👍 shes mint. I have the y61 Ti, haven’t upgraded to y62 cos of its suspension, BUT may do in the near future. Eagerly looking forward to watching your build vids. Sweet as 🤘
The suspension is definitely a hurdle to get over. But I think all the traction aids help with the lack of wheel travel.

Nice one mate , bloody beautiful car
I’m guessing about $ 94,000 ??
Look forward to seeing what you do with it !
Hahaha. Yeah bout that haha
Love the wood grain look
It’s all yours. Haha.
We didn’t like the wood grain on our til but after a few weeks it doesn’t bother us anymore just enjoy it and drive it.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations, looks magnificent 😄
Thank you! 😊
Welcome to the club.
Awesome stuff, looking forward to it. So over Landcruisers it’s great to see another channel move away from Toyota!
It was more of what best suited my family now. The 300 just wasn’t big enough
@@Australian4x4Adventures Yeah I get it; not fussed about the motivations, but I like your videos and will be taking much more interest in the vehicle videos now that it's not just another Landcruiser channel!

If you look up a place called “ EC Offroad “. They have a heap of aftermarket gear for the y62s ( and other cars ). All good quality gear
I would’ve bought a late model low k’s second-hand one & saved a shitload of cash💰& put that towards fixing the crap suspension & twin exhaust, spew’n it’s notta manual.

gratz mate. load it up with dash offroad gear
Hahaha. Prolly going a different direction
Congrat on the purchase.
Thanks!
Hi George noticed you have a dash conversion on your patrol would you recommend this product? I have heard mixed reviews also could you pass on details if so please
Congrats! Looks good!
Side note does George have a RUclips channel too?
Hey. Nah no RUclips channel for George. He does have instagram. Offroad tavern.
@Australian4x4Adventures awesome I'll check him out, and again congrats and welcome to the darkside, you will never look back now....
Very nice. Congrats mate
Thanks 👍
One of these would get me into a Nissan.
Got me in one.
I’ll take ya for a spin next time we catch up 😝

Looking forward to the build, no doubt you have spent many hours researching. Is there a "drifta" copy drawer system in store?? 🤣 cheers 🍻
Coming soon! Make replica drifta drawers 😂
Congrats man.
Thanks!
What upgrade has George got on his dash? Looks like a huge screen upgrade.
Yeah he has the Tesla style screen.
What? did you do a “oh what a feeling ….. um Nissan” jump
ok, now I believe you 🤣
🤣. Could be a mates 🤷🏿♂️😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations
Thanks 🙏
Wait, this has the 2021 front grill? It's different than my all black 2022?
TIL kept the all front grill. Only the TI got a new grill.
But they all got the new badges
It’s a shame people cant drive it for the way it is. It’s such a nice car without all the shit bolted to it
It’s a shame ppl can’t just be happy for other ppl and what they want to do in life.
In stock form the car isn’t capable of doing what I want it to do.

Excellent 🎉 congrats
Thank you! 😃
Hope you didn't buy extended warranty 🤣 not much factory parts going to be left by the time you modify it.
Haha. 5 year factory. That should be enough
@@Australian4x4Adventures should be. My y61 gu patrol is 8 years old soon still only 51k on the clock no issues.
Over to the dark side 🤣
Nice. 9 month wait, now you probably understand pregnancy.
Hahahaha. I’ll tell my wife that and see how hard she kicks me in the balls 😂
Y62 owner don't have them their wives/partners keep them in their purse 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

nice mommy wagon :P

Their own of its own ?? dhood dude dooshe 🤔😐
It done he fully turn to pootrol, well I am unfollow now………..haha can’t wait to see what you do to the mom taxi 👍🤠
Coming soon! Fake taxi 😂. Oh wait that’s something else isn’t it
@@Australian4x4Adventures it one way to get more cash for Y62 mods 😂
iPads lot cheaper, kids will lose interest when teenagers
Probably right. But I also wanted the icebox and a few of the other options the TIL came with
Looking forward to hitting the tracks with you mate. @200serieslc
