In honor of our returning Patrol enthusiast, Daner, today I donned the straw hat, and my younger of 2 and I braved the hot sun, and took the 66 for it's first short spin up the street and back...
Nothing major- never shifted above 2nd, and never topped 25mph, but the steering, suspension and drivetrain feel tight. There is a speedbump halfway down our street and I hit that sucker at 25 just to see if any of the wheels would fall off..
Trans is noisy because the cover isn't back on it yet, and because, well: Nissan Patrol...
Truck barely has brakes- they need to be bled some more
But yeah- I'm THRILLED. I just checked some old photos, and this is the first time this Patrol has moved under its own power since Dec, 2014.
