Modified Y62 Patrol. Modified #62

Another Modified Y62 Patrol, this one owned by a YouTuber (Dash Offroad). David has spent a lot of time researching and modifying his Y62, some parts of the vehicle has changed more than once trying to find the right bit of gear.

This Y62 has also been the first to spot the odd mod here and there as in the early years of the Y62 Patrol not much was available for them.

Unstoppable moment in the Modified Y62 Patrol:

Going up Hay hill in at Geranium with 8 people in the car when no other car could get up it. Haha!

Most scary situation in the Y62 Nissan Patrol:

Hmm, let me see? Was it bogged on the beach at Beachport when the tide was coming in lapping my wheels as I was digging the sand out? Or was it at Loveday in “Hells hole” when I had a wheel in the air and embankment on either side wedging the sliders in? Or could have been at Cobar state forest playing see saw on a bolder? Iv’e nearly fell off a couple of sand dunes….. the list goes on
