Mate, it is another Nissan but the main thing is you got your Dad the most appropriate car for the money. He’ll be able to do the trips with you and that’s the most important thing!👍
💯 %
These things are rare now .. any channel doing these over a 79 is automatically 10 plus bonus points in life this should be awesome
Great to see Gary getting something more capable! All the best with the build before the weekend!
Thanks mate! We have been hooking in 😁
How exciting Gary !
touch base with Pete from ultimate 9 and recreate that build for your old man. Pete's GU is low wide stable and a monster offroad! i can see your old man hurting some feelings on 2" and 33's if you set him up right 😉😂😂
Pete's GU is a weapon off road and Pete is very good driver
Awesome buy. You won’t wipe the smile off your dads face when we takes it off road
Definitely!
We do like Gary , we need some more shots of him with his shirt off , he is the star of the show.
Makes perfect sense to get the patrol. Happy driving
Nice buy. You're right about the overall costs of making these more capable and functional, which many folk don't realise early on. In short, they cost heaps of cash to modify!
Great choice Tyler and Gary. Noting wrong with a crd, mines done 290k now. Definitely add tilix kit, welded intercooler, scanguage and egt gauge to the list as well.
We love having Dad on the adventures
Be interesting to keep it more average in modifications and see how far it can get
Lockers, tyres , 2 inch lift, bush barriers , winch
Front mount cooler and intake kit from fabwitz.
Solid Tensioner pulley coz they grenade
Superior 3inch lift
New front bullbar and winch
Lights
Simple dual battery system
Front locker
DONE.
Also service the auto and by pass/replace the auto rad cooler cause it'll fail filling the auto with coolant. The engine? Well, it's a time bomb unfortunately so treat it very kindly.
Good mods mate!
@@ericjohnson6802 it's a crd mate not a di will last forever if he gets it tuned by someone who knows there stuff. Ie evolution tuning 👌 mines got nearly 400k and no blow by still kicking on with the stock turbo to 😅
Looks good! Gary will enjoy his new wheels. That Mux has done a fantastic job.
the mux did wat it needed for Garry n now dad wants the next step in his touring/offroading life. looking forward to the build that Garry has in mind for the big Pat. so awesome Garry.
Might not be the best for content, but it is the best for your old man. Very realistic build too for the every day battler out there, keen to see it keep up with you guys 👌
Yeah for sure!
Not a budget build but a comfort build. Spend it where you know it needs it and have fun trying things on the rest
Yeah for sure!
Congratulations to Gary. It looks like a good buy. Looking forward to the build.
Have owned my identical (2008 aswell) wagon but manual for coming on 7 years now and no intention on selling her any time soon. Have done over 120k on it (has near on 300k) and has been running 21psi factory turbo on a custom remap since about 230k with no massive issues. Definately get a boost controller if it doesnt have one already and maybe egr block and upgrade the intercooler even if just a cheap ebay welded item. Theres a reasonable these are so popular!!! Mine sees alot of off road albeit mainly beach stuff they are a great balance of capable off roaders and comfy long distance tourers!
The auto diesel has a good transcooler setup just needs the transcooler in the radiator bypassed. If you want it to shift a bit firmer you can unplug the plug on the firewall where the clutch master on a manual would be.
Don't unplug the resistor.
Love it! Nothing wrong with “another bloody Patrol”!
Yep, keep the lift as low as possible. This way, it will still look good on 33s and will be more stable on the tracks than your GU. Just go longer shocks and keep it simple for now.
Garry is going to love it! 😎
Gday, bloody good to see Gary stepping up a bit, the MUX has done a fantastic job but the time is here, great video mate, cheers
Only need tires and recovery points. The other Patrols in the group have winch and its not like it will need it, it is a Patrol after all.
Absolutely love that you got your Dad one of the most capable 4wds on the market! He is going to enjoy it so much! Well done guy's 👏 ✔️
Thanks! 👍
Awesome un molestered rig
Look forward to how the old man sets it up 👍
Nice clean patrol! Good buy.
Can't argue your reasons but the thing with the MUX that will be missed was seeing how a more basic vehicle handled the obstacles.
A worthy build series indeed! 🎉
Looks like he got exactly what he wants😊
Very clean looking too!
Can't wait to see it in action😊
Hey Tyler and Gary, love the relationship you fellas have together and shared interests ! I owned a GU ZD30 for many years….. fantastic 4by out in the bush and on road everyday driving ! Absolute must have spare to carry is a genuine Nissan serpentine belt and tensioner assembly with pulley fitted (please don’t go aftermarket just don’t last) its not if - but when - the bushes and hydraulic arm of the assembly will flog out and give you trouble on the tracks ! Change just the tensioner pulley annually with all the off-road work you will be doing, Also doesn’t hurt to carry a genuine MAF sensor they can be temperamental and a show stopper too. All the best fellas….
That is soo cool! Reminds me of my father, who decided that it's time to buy the harley he wanted his whole life at the age of 77, after he'd seen me, bringing my big twin home. 😊👍🏼 My Parents bought a campervan also, after we'd gone on our first trips with the offroad caravan and we met on several trips with them now, what is great for the whole family😀👍🏼
That's awesome mate!
I have a 2009 ZD30 CRD Patrol with a front locker on 33's and it's been an amazing rig, the engine does make me nervous at times but in terms of offroad capability it's incredible. Great choice Gary!
Excellent Gary's back in the game. He won't look back. Nice choice 👍
Depending what your old boy is doing with the mux it could be worth swapping the 4jj1 into this patrol. That could be fun
A good choice for your dad there a great truck I bought one 8 months ago I do hope the poor old bugger is going to up grad to a roof top looking forward to the build and the first trip cheers legends 😄
We have a crd just clicked over 360k bone stock and no major issues
Being bone stock probably helps, a lot of people boost them to the moon and then complain when they break.
The GUs are great 4x4s we went the same way from a 17 MUX to a 15 GU only regret is fuel economy. Our MUX was making the dreaded police siren sound in the turbo so it had to go, much happier with the GU.
Smart plan mate. Cant wait to see him get it muddy!!
Finally!!!! He needs it and deserves it!
Jeez it looked good cruising down the freeway! Love it
Even though it’s another Patrol, the GU4 has a number of differences to your current GU, it’s a 3L diesel which is different to the petrol GU and and TD42 in the GQ. Looking forward to seeing the build!
Yeah for sure!
About time you got Gary a real truck!! He will truly make the most of it!!
That coolant pressure tank should be full,🤞it’s doesn’t have a cracked head.
I was thinking this exact thing on your last high country vid when Gary had to sit some of those tracks out. I honestly thought you would go down a different road than another patrol but i completely understand your reasoning as to why you got it. And lets all be honest, you cant beat a patrol for off road work.
The mux has been great but its most definitely time.
Yeah I definitely reckon he will be much happier with a more capable 4WD!
Great buy!
First mod I'd do is a decent bull bar and winch, eveything else looks good to get started with.
Congratulations on the purchase. I was wondering when it was gonna happen.
The patrol makes sense , you guys can all share parts on some bigger trips etc. itll all work well. Congratulations Gary 👍👍🤠
Thanks mate 👍
Nice buy, will make things easier with common spares etc
Great choice! Such a good price too..
excited to see how you guys build it up and take it on your future trips..
Great video looking forward to the build 👍 happy wheeling dad ❤
Thanks 👍
Congrats Gary and good find Tyler. Gunna be a good base to build Dad a nice setup.
Don't overlook the best upgrade after front locker - a valve body upgrade. This will give engine braking in 1st low, a massive benefit offroad. Maybe some 63% reduction gears as well, so Gary can go down and up knarly stuff easily. Throttle control - yes, helps massively on bouncy uphill stuff. Toss the factory intercooler because it's leaking and get at least a welded one. Check if it's got a Tillix valve to support the boost control. Put a second battery in the front wired in parallel so winching gets enough power supply.
Cheers for the tip mate!
Good buy. You probably have some spare parts for it already.
Great choice Garry. I hope it gets set up the same as Tylers patrols so all challenges are made equal.
I felt sorry for him having to go around on easier tracks or missing out. He will love it
I wish I had thought of that name for a build 😂
Where you got it was in my neck of the woods - Central Coast. Congratulations to your dad. Looks like a fine vehicle. Let the build begin. 👍👍
As a coastie I feel like there's more patrols here than everywhere else lol
@@Jacobtheunwise Grandpa spec Patrols (and Cruisers) are an endangered species now. There's less and less of them around as the years roll by.
Gould on you dad, after watching the other Patrols yours should be great. Looking forward to seeing you both in action. Bill Mc
Thanks!
That is an awesome buy Start control of Pete of 24 seven he loves his and it’s very capable vehicle outdrive some of the other boys can’t wait to see it finished
Thanks mate!
Keen to see you guys put it through its paces! 💪🏼
Thanks man!
Great choice, looks mint
congrats!
You only go for the best mate, and you've definitely nailed it again 👌👌i hope dad enjoys every bit of it. Series 6 i guess that makes it being a 2008👍
Great news for the old fella and great to see him getting his own big rig!, good plan keeping it as a "smaller" patrol.
Please please please throw the factory alloys in the bin BEFORE one parts company and leaves you on 3 wheels with no warning. Well known issue fo a reason:
Basic cause is over tensioned wheel nuts distorting the rim but theres more too it. Squashed and distorted wheel nut seats not allowing the rims to abut correctly on the hub face, or allowing the domed nuts to bottom out and feel tight, but the rim isnt actually under tension and then works the nuts loose....
At 100kmh if your lucky you will feel a slight warning wobble before they go walkies. If your not, you will wonder wtf that thing was off to your side bouncing through tree tops before you slam into the ground....
Cheers for the tips mate!
Looks like a good buy. Solid axel for the win 🏆 💪
Awesome stuff mate. Looking forward to seeing the next episode
Congrats Dad miles of smiles ahead. Hope you engaged all the off-road settings on the test drive. What’s dad going to do with the MUX?
Coming from a zd30 owner one of the best mods for reliability is a front mount cooler and tillix kit with a tune to suit will make it super reliable.
Thanks mate!
Great choice! That would be my next choice as well
That GU is NEAT.
Excellent. smiles for gaz 😊
6.2 Cummins Gary!
105 comes also with a 1HD-FTE, but that doesn't matter once Gary shoehorns that 6.2 Cummins in
Plans?? Got to get those strobe led whip aerials
Who cares if it's a Toyota or a Nissan. The main thing is getting out there and having fun 👍
P.S I have a Toyota Landcruiser 😉
It's so good you can do this stuff with your Oldman ❤
Great buy TT, I've been driving and racing 4x4s in Aussie, US and Dakar..and after working at the Nissan HQ and speaking directly (well through interpreter) to their techs in person...NOW I have 2, modded and unmodded.
The ZD30 is a great engine, the CR models are not so much a problem..after you do the small changes and basic mods, you'll get great life from them...there are ZDs out there with 700,000 KMs and still going fine.
Re the ZD30 engine, many bag it from the past and the DI versions which due to its glow plugs remaining stuck on on occasions causes the 3 piston to crack and shit itself.
What people do not realise is that it is a very strong engine so much so that it's standard internals can handle up to and over 500hp!!..at the end of this I'll post the proof of a guy I know, he drives a 450hp ZD30 race 4x4 WITH UNMODIFIED STOCK INTERNALS..and goes hard at each race meet. I know of several in the UAE that are used in dune climbing with over 750hp and one that's 525hp which tows the 750 to competitions and it has since last weekend now is over 300,000kms!
What I can recommend to prevent issues are the most important and cheapest - firstly, do the block EGR, then the Swirl mod..exhaust, then replace the IC to either a larger top mounted or go for the front mounted..seeing he's not turning into a full modded, a good quality top mount works fine which is same as what I use.
There's a number of other mods, most are cheap which make the GU as tough as where together with its over engineered components, add all Superior Engineering mods and it makes one of the top 2 4x4s you can own...
If you want extra info, PM me and will advise about many other mods and other stuff that can be done from being important to..great mod, to if you just want to do it..
As I advise people what to buy, I tell them go to the wreckers where the start of remote tracks..like the Simpson, it's full of duel cabs, and China made crap...not a single (U crashed) LandCruiser or Patrols..
Hope that bit of info helps..
See the vids below,
Cheers👍

ruclips.net/video/4gJBp-8oYKQ/видео.html?si=IV-mSWSTdK33LxeO
Can't block the EGR if he gets pulled over, (which he eventually will being a patrol) he will cop a huge fine and a defect which Tyler said the whole point of this build is to avoid that
Cheers for the all the advice and tips mate! Greatly appreciated
As solid as these are they don't do tough tracks with mild mods. had a 2008 aswell for 5 years, setup like a tourer and it just didn't perform with the weight, size and lack of power. I've changed to a np300 nav, Its way nicer to drive and very capable as you would know.
That said I have a ti 2009 tb48 that build with no intention of touring, flexy lift, 35's and barwork it puts my old gu to shame.
Those 4 speed autos are very highly geared in low range (only 24.6:1). A set of reduction gears and/or regear diffs to 4.625:1 will really make a difference.
Hard to tell for sure on the phone screen, but intercooler looks to be leaking. The factory crimped ones all do it. Might be worth getting replaced or tanks welded. Make sure you monitor auto temps, boost, EGT.
Yep has developed a small oil leak so will have to do something with it at some point
@@TylerThompson90 yeah it's a weak point as they're just crimped in from factory. If oil getting out so does your boost! Pretty cheap to get the tanks welded up or there's a heap of drop in replacements. I got a series 2 HPD but prob wouldn't do it again (scoop is massive). Definitely recommend using a Dawes or tillix or similar for boost control too. Intercooler, boost control and monitor EGTs and they go forever.
The Jeep Wrangler would have been good and aren't as unreliable as some people think. People often complain about stuff breaking on Jeeps, but then give a blind eye to stuff breaking on Toyotas and Nissans when they go wrong.
However, where you are, I think you made the right choice with the Patrol as it would be better supported. While there are excellent parts and accessories for Jeeps in Aus, the best stuff always found in US and you would be looking at having stuff shipped over. It would not have made much sense.
🎧 Perfect Song Choice 🎼
Looking forward to a nice realistic build. Will be great. Fun fact, I'm around the corner from blue flame, could have stopped in for beer 😂
Thanks mate!
Another Nissan..yea! Nice pick up.
Looking forward to seeing how your dad mod's this GU.
I just purchased a clean low klm, Navara this week... Already added new A/t's 👍👍
Yeah nice mate!
Great now everyone will be chasing a gu patrol. lol. He won’t want to drive the mux anymore. Once again thanks for the great and genuine content. Can’t wait to see what it can do.
Cheers mate!
As much as I am "Ugh, another Patrol 🙄", all that really matters is that Gary is happy with it, and it'll be good seeing him joining you on some of the tougher trips where the MUX couldn't keep up.
And there's definitely an advantage to him having a Patrol along with you and Birdo, It's a familiar platform (even if it's a different engine), and you can share the spare parts load between vehicles when travelling as a group.
Yeah for sure! Cheers
Would have been nice to see another landcruiser on the channel. Sure its hard to find a diesel auto landcruiser, but thats all part of the build right? And we all know Demis 80 isnt gonna see the tracks it deserves to see.
IMO the Di 3 litre got a bad wrap because people were trying to drive it like they usually did a patrol. Sure theres a few mods that can keep it alive, but the biggest way is to not drive it like a patrol when its an overstrung overworked undersized engine.
Nice buy for Gary…now there will be three people on your channel out driving you in their Patrols!
Great choice and hands down better than the MUX.
He'll love it
Buying an older 4x4 to drive around… you’re a man who knows best! Haha.. the GU will be perfect… don’t make em like they use to…
Transcooler, intercooler,tune from Evolution tuning. In beerwah Queensland
OK I take back a lot that I said thinking poor dad in most videos having to bail on certain tracks having to split from family...I honestly was wondering why you wouldn't build the MUX....I forget that maybe secrets are best kept 😉 cause now I'm excited for this even though its another Patrol. Just a little dig, what do you mean by 10yr tourer as in everything you put on will last 10yrs like Harry's build but found out some parts are not all the hype or do you mean something to keep for 10yrs....be careful because Harry been left explaining that some parts are not up to the task replacing them a little red faced....remember you boys are out doing the tough tracks months of the year....nothing no matter how solid will break especially doing the content you deliver 😉
Oh nice! I was actually looking at this exact car and thinking it would be a good buy for anyone looking for a GU.
Congratulations Gary on your new vehicle, at least we know Tyler will have a few old replacement parts lying around the shed for emergency use! LOL No seriously mate enjoy to the max, looking forward to seeing your first adventures in it!
Thank you!
Not the MUX! 😢
Keen to see the build on the patrol 👌
Great buy I’m also looking for a newer secondhand 4x4, looked at lots of 80 100 & 105 descent ones from $25k with 500000km+ to $65k for a 250000km, you can’t even insure them for the money people are asking. Switch to looking at patrols and what a revaluation from $20k some with under 200000km nice cars and a great platform to build on with money to spare. Very interested in what you’s will do with it 👍.
Yeah definitely get better value for money with a Patrol! Cheers
Should done a solid axle swap on the Mux
Yeah thought about it but nearly as expensive as buying a Patrol then heap of time off road etc
Nice 1. Cant wait to watch Gaza get it on the tracks
305/70/17 are a great size for a Nissan patrol still big but are legal
Love that’s it’s a 3l but I’ve got a Di with 600 000 on her and best 4wd I’ve had all I’ve hear with the crd as soon as they hit 160 000 to 300 000 they go boom and heard of heaps of di making way more then 600
Sad to see the Isuzu go, love my 280 Frontier, but i get the bigger vehicle 😎🤙
Stock GU on 33s is significantly more capable and more durable than a modified IFS ute on 35s.
I did similar, had the a PX1 Ford Ranger, thought IFS was suitable but instead found out CVs are consumable items.
Good choice 👍
