In the process of selling up and hitting the road for the big lap with family. Can finally settle on the patrol. Cheers for video mate 🤙🏾 loved the 0 to flooring it
That's a ripper of a y62 mate, I love it! 140k at first glance seems like an awful lot, but compared with the new landcruiser I'd go the patrol every single time.
Excellent video, good honest review. Motor looks awesome, its got everything!!! Not sure if I'm fooling myself but I seem to be seeing more and more of these Y62's on the road in QLD.
Looking forward to watching your travels. My TI-L is sitting on a ship in Port Phillip Bay waiting to dock in Melbourne. Getting itchy feet waiting. Rig looks awesome, congrats.
Holy shit batman! Ive just go back from a 6.6k trip to the Gulf & back towing a 2.5t caravan & the fuel usage sat at 18.6. Now Im home, its down to 12.5. Emergency trip to Gympie & back last at steady 100kph returned 10.7. Maybe I drive like a granddad. Love the car tho.
Love it mate, great looking rig. As for dual consumption, I honestly think people get way to hung up on it. At the end of the day we’re moving a house around the country behind our heavily modified cars, they’re going to use fuel. If you went for a cruiser you’d be at $200k to buy/build it and save all of about 2l/ph.
My fully kit out 300 is using only 13.5L/100km without towing. I am assuming a similar Y62 will use 20L/100km. And not just fuel usage, but also the range matters too. But i actually do think patrol is the better choice of money.
That looks so sick, such a sweet build! We had the exact problem with our Ranger which is why we had to sell it too! Only had the Y62 a few weeks now and slowly getting stuff done. If you have the money, the GCM upgrade is now available! I unfortunately don't have that! 🤣 Still yet to do the interior LED upgrade!
Cheers mate. Yeah that's fully loaded, with the towball weight from the van. Yep. Got an Aussie bulldog travelling with us. Have up lift that fat thing up 🤣
@@thetravellingstamps yeah apparently it's common but within Nissan tolerances. There is a guy on UA-cam who had his TC replaced under warranty and it fixed it. Maybe more of the series 4 had issues like mine not sure.
Awesome rig, can you recommend somewhere to get vehicle wrap in Townsville called around and got quoted $4500 for my ranger not sure if thats a stitch up or normal.
Mate great vid. I've got a 2023 JB Dirt Road Extreme as well, just waiting for my Y62 pre reg GVM upgrade to happen with Dash. Mate question with your dual battery setup, are you able to connect and draw on that when connected to the caravan? I've only got 2 x 135ah AGMS on the van and was contemplating a dual battery system in the patrol but wasn't sure if I could utilise that additional battery storage while off grid camping.
G'day mate. Yep, sure can. I've plugged my van into the car, and it was like the van was plugged into mains power. Keep in mind, the car inverter is 2000w, so i couldn't run van aircon. Hope that makes sense
@@thetravellingstamps nice so did you connect directly to the inverter or are you able to combine the caravans battery storage and the second battery in the patrol to increase your total amp hours through the Anderson plug and utilise the inverter in the van?
Had to plug into the 240v sockets I installed in the rear. Which is basically just plugging into the inverter. Our car one is 2000w. Van is 2600w inverter. So if we plug into the car, we just limit what appliances we use.
@thetravellingstamps Picked up my 62 last week of October I ended up getting a 100Ah DCS Slimline Lithium put in with a Redarc BCDC 40 charger, 2000w Redarc inverter put under the false floor with the ARB twin compressor and 8 gang switching panel while it was in getting the Pre Rego GVM upgrade. I did get them to install an external Anderson plug for solar into the Redarc BCDC charger for the lithium in the 62 if we stay at camp longer, and I can also plug the inverter directly into the JB DRX to charger the house batteries or to use the coffee machine or induction cooking in the van while staying off grid. So happy with the TiL Y62 build and agree it doesn’t take long to get up into the $ when setting up the car, mine is now into me for $134K and I haven’t put a bar or lights on the front yet, let alone the extras I’m still putting in 😂
nice car just weondering about the maths. "near on 4000kg car towing 3500kg van" ..... GCM on the patrol is 7000kg so how are you 500kg over legally while travelling.

No dramas at all. Enjoy! Honestly best decision.
14:15 that sound is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooood

Cheers 🤙. Naaa, I completely agree. As we are travelling fulltime, visiting lots of van parks, there is definitely an influx of y62s.
Lovely car....thanks for being so honest in regards to costs!
No dramas. Wanted too be open about costs because so many people keep it a secret for some reason 🤷
Looking forward to watching your travels. My TI-L is sitting on a ship in Port Phillip Bay waiting to dock in Melbourne. Getting itchy feet waiting. Rig looks awesome, congrats.
Mines with yours as well, I’m pretty sure they are in quarantine can’t wait to get it
Thats awesome lads. I almost miss that exciting part. Being so close
Holly Molly. Definitely worth it.

Love the car tho.
Hahahaha. Your right actually. I probably should have said that we comfortably sit on 110km/h towing the van 🤣
@@thetravellingstampsfyi legal towing a van speed is 100
With a t62 or other?
A stock Y62 with 60k on the clock.
3 weeks till we head off!! Can’t bloody wait!🙌🏾
Awesome rig mate. I’d have to agree , painting the chrome properly over wrapping is the way to go
Great video and awesome setup!
Love it mate, great looking rig.

you should try make a towing test with the y62 patrol!car looks mad👌🏽
Coming soon!
Cheers mate. Yep, close to it. Especially if you put some work into them also.
That looks so sick, such a sweet build! We had the exact problem with our Ranger which is why we had to sell it too! Only had the Y62 a few weeks now and slowly getting stuff done.

We are also traveling full time. Our Y62 gets here next week.
$140 g notes? man, i’m definitely in the wrong business. pretty savage weapon though.
Hahaha. Naaa, just saved our arses off.
Great write up mate
Cheers mate
Nice build mate 💃🏼
Cheers. Right back at you guys 🤙
Beautiful rig mate, let me know what job I need to have to be able to afford this rig haha
Hey mate, ask ur misso what exact rim width, and offset on the ROH vapour 18s u have plz, so i can match it
Awsome vid mate. Any chance of a vid of exhaust under tow?
Can do. I'll put up a UA-cam short in a few days. I'll be towing then
@@thetravellingstampswhat is your exact rim width and offset on the 18s u have plz
What it the part number of the coil rear spring
Nice rig mate, your loaded weight you mentioned in your vid. Is that with your tinny on top? You rocking a dog in the back?
Cheers mate. Yeah that's fully loaded, with the towball weight from the van. Yep. Got an Aussie bulldog travelling with us. Have up lift that fat thing up 🤣
How’s it going, my question is did you upgrade the rear lower control arms and if not have you had any issues with them?
Bloody good review too.
G'day mate, standard rear LCAs. Haven't had any issues ... yet. Cheers, appreciate it.
Also what induction are you running and how’s it wired with the slide please?
Hey mate. It's the Westinghouse twin plate. Not hardwired or anything. Just plugged into the 240v socket I have at the rear.
Damn that chrome delete looks awful!! Good looking rig though, I have a 22 Ti we bought new and have fitted some similar mods
Nice👌🏻
How can you use a 270 degree awning when it would foul with the tail gate?
Nice rig mate. Do you get any slip in the torque converter between 3rd and 4th?
Na not that I've felt. Is it common?
@@thetravellingstamps yeah apparently it's common but within Nissan tolerances. There is a guy on UA-cam who had his TC replaced under warranty and it fixed it. Maybe more of the series 4 had issues like mine not sure.
Awesome rig, can you recommend somewhere to get vehicle wrap in Townsville called around and got quoted $4500 for my ranger not sure if thats a stitch up or normal.
Hi sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it.
What tow mirrors are you using? And is it compatible with the lane assist?
All about the looks ..
Mate great vid.

Thoughts on new grenadier
That wrap is shocking! Damn no wonder you are pissed
whats your insurance cost per month ?
Hi I have most of the mods you have on my Y62 til
What tow mirrors have you fitted and does the lane avoidance still function?
Sorry, probably way too late, however, they are clearview compacts. Everything still works as factory mirrors would.
@@thetravellingstamps just had them fitted last week
random as fuck but I like that hat where'd you get it
Hahah. All g. It's a nice hat. It's an Akubra Coober Pedy.
nice car just weondering about the maths. "near on 4000kg car towing 3500kg van" ..... GCM on the patrol is 7000kg so how are you 500kg over legally while travelling.
Hey mate, 4000 + 3500 = 7500... One of us has messed up here hahah
The car sounds amazing! Great honest review, you seem like a good bloke. All the best to you and the fams! Cheers 👍🏽
