Our 4x4 Truck
Here is a photo of our new 4x4 Truck. It’s a Nissan Patrol Turbo Diesel ST. It’s got a bull bar on the front, 39-liter refrigerator in the back, full length roof rack on top, two diesel fuel tanks, a snorkel for driving through deep water, duel batteries under the hood, and a UHF CB radio for short range communications. I’ve purchased a Dell Laptop Computer with a GPS, which will be mounted on a stand in front of the passenger seat for moving map satellite navigation. I’ll be adding a 4x4 trailer to this to carry extra fuel, water, tires, bikes, and anything else I can’t fit inside or on top of the truck. This rig will be able to carry us just about anywhere we want to go. We already have two one month long trips scheduled for April and August of this year and are looking at a possible one more month long trip. I think with all the work that we need to do to our house and garden that that will be about all we can do this year. Perhaps we can fit in a few one or two week trips when we need a break.
