@HotHeadCJ Not sure, can't be too serious as I've been driving the truck for 12 months with the air locker not working. Likely an activation issue. Thanks.
@HotHeadCJ I fixed the rear diff lock this weekend just gone, there was oil in the line which is a common problem from what I've heard. But I also found the brass union on the diff housing was loose, worse than finger tight. Another triumph for Macquarie 4x4! Anyway, the diff lock works great now - it was great to head off road and use it again, see my other videos.
They are both excellent. They are both comfortable, strong and capable.
If you want an all-out off roader, buy a Patrol. If you want on road highway comfort and good offroad ability and reliability go for the Prado.
To solve the entire problem buy a big landcruiser.
The Prado has limited wheel articulation in the front end due to it having independent suspension. Not much can be done. The patrol however has many suspension upgrade options.
But is the big landcruiser better than the Patrol?? Im a big fan of the Landcruiser, and my cousin keeps arguing about this Patol lol, so I guess he's right.
The Big Cruiser is more comfortable than the patrol. The newer 100 series have IFS so they handle better on road but lack suspension travel in the front end which limits front end articulation and therefore ability. If you talk about landcruisers with solid front axles then they are just as capable off road. The nissan has always had a stronger drive-train so they are better for converting to off road competition vehicles.
Both are very capable, reliable and strong. Both will take you anywhere
Well done, nice and slow = no damage. If you want to see fast watch my vid prado doing monos. Luckily didnt damage anything mechanical. Its great to see a prado out using 4wd instead of just taking the kids to school. They are very capable 4wds with few mods. Great section of track there, looked like fun.
Well done, nice and slow = no damage. If you want fast watch my vid and see what happens....... I just like seeing Prados out in the bush instead of taking the kids to school. They can be very capable 4WDs with little mods.
Click on my user name and watch the video of my Triton driving up the same hill. Take note of the speed I am traveling. This might help you understand what we are talking about.
Who said I was too proud?? It's just a video. I'm so happy that you go faster, and you needed to tell us all about it. Good for you. Well done. YOU must be so proud. Bye kid, go and study your punctuation homework.
Why is it that bogans think driving fast up a track means they have skill. IMO the slower and safer you can drive an obstacle the better. The only skill in driving fast would be in your dad still being able to sip his can of bundy and rum while driving it....

@andyoopoo ARB AirLocker in the rear, although it has since failed. I am yet to investigate the cause. Thanks for watching.

At the end of the day they are both good. :o)
