Arrow Nissan Patrol in Iraq: Pics!

Here is a newer Nissan Patrol that was being used by security contractors near the Syrian Border, I thought I'd post up some pics of this outstanding expedition vehicle for all you Nissan folks here on ExPo!

I was able to drive the previous generation model around the base when I was at Al-Asad. They are very cool and this one had been well abused.

That's sweet Dave.

I've seen a bunch of them featured in AUS4WD and they are very impressive. They rival Landcruiser's down under, for most beloved fourbie.

The wheel wells look pretty large. Could fit some good tires in there. Great pics, thanks.

Those aren't wheels

Those are part of the radius arm that have bushings which connect to the most beautiful solid front axle in the world....ohh I just messed my pants.

I hate it when you find a killer rig that you can't have (frequent) and soil your shorts (not saying).
