New (and happy!) patrol owner
Hi, yet again another happy patrol owner! Just few weeks ago moved with my family to ecuador and searched for the perfect 4wd for these "roads" up here in the mountains. found a perfect restauration project which has almost every original bit in place and can be used as a "daylidriver"..

Tepe, congratulations and welcome! 
I've done your opposite. I moved to the States and brought my Patrol with me in a container!
Guess the grass is greener....
Please post some pictures of your Patrol. What area of Ecuador are you know?

Yes, we need pictures.
