60Patrol

Kudos to the suggestion to 'spark' some life into our message board! Now we have a serious discussion going on about the possibility of a tranny swap [I'll try to ignore the "Toy' thing!], an HEI conversion in the works, and "Alex's 4x4 Supply"....Looks like our club is on to some exiting developments! Now, if we could only find an alternative to this almost 2 buck per gal. gas thing....Maybe a little "Sake" in the tank every once in a while?? Everyone keep up the great work!!

Almost $2 a gallon? The rest of the world seems near double that, its good to live in the land of spoils USA

Actually the first name we wanted to use for the business was taken, so now we are thinking of: "Children of a Lesser Gear"  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Alex.

I suppose "4X4s are Us" is out of the question although it would be an adult toy store.

Martin,   With an OD tranny (albeit Toyota but still Japanese) it would save you some $$ on gas bills too. Otherwise your stuck with a 3 speed, no synchro first, no granny first and no OD. Plus wait until it needs rebuilding...$$$$. For a daily driver, a 5 speed with OD is the only way to go.   David

Amen to the 5 speed.  I would have sold my Patrol long ago without it.  I must have bought one of the last Marks 4X4 manufactured.  I'm not in an area where I can  see a lot of benefit from the overdrive but the granny first gear is great. I haven't gone into low range since I had it installed.
