These Special Edition Nissan Patrols Are Making Splash Decals Cool Again
These Special Edition Nissan Patrols Are Making Splash Decals Cool Again-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:10

We’ve been really hard on what has been doing with its stateside lineup lately, but it’s not our fault they save the coolest stuff for other markets. It’s been knocking its off-road stuff out of the park recently, first with bringing back the for everyone but us, and now with these rad special editions.

While you could technically buy what’s basically a Nissan Patrol underneath by getting an or , you’re still going to miss out on Nissan’s latest Middle-East special—these sick-ass colorful splash decals.

These Patrol special editions were supposedly inspired by a falcon and a gazelle, which is why the three new trims are named after those animals. The Falcon is the plain-looking one, the Gazelle is the brown one, and the Gazelle-X is the awesome red one. I think it would be cooler if the red one was for the falcon, just because the red splatter reminds me of a falcon’spredatory instincts.

Anyway, the tamest-looking of the three, the Falcon, gets a chrome bumper, LED light bar, black wheel arches and spoiler, a chrome gas can, and chromed exhaust. Inside, it gets tan leather seats and a refrigerator.

The Patrol Gazelle gets an air snorkel, red and black special shocks, a two-inch lift, front winch, blackened grille and light housings, the word G A Z E L L E across the hood, and a roof spoiler designed to hold flags while driving—the best part is the flags are included! This thing is going to steal the show at Radwood 2043. Inside, the Gazelle gets tan leather seats and accents.

The Patrol Gazelle-X is like the Gazelle, but more. It gets additional custom steel front and rear bumpers with a customized front skid plate, a hood scoop, a roof rack, 30-inch light bar and little cube LED lights on the bumper, red-rimmed wheels, and a spare tire carrier and tow hooks in the back.

Inside this one are tan and black leather seats, a tow rope, sand ramp and an emergency off-roading kit, and a caged third row for your captured gazelle, the life force of which the vehicle gets its power from, and hence its name, I assume.

All of them have the 4.8-liter inline-six with 280 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque, four-wheel drive and it’s available in automatic or five-speed manual! Splash decals are back, baby.

Off-Road Dog Beasts Down A Ski Run
Corbet's Couloir of Jackson Hole, Wyoming has been called "America's scariest ski slope," because it's a lot steeper than it looks here. Elu the pup wasn't too sure about dropping in at first, but had a solid run once she got her courage up! Snow dogs rule. Hat tip to...

How To Mount A Tire With An Ether Explosion
How To Mount A Tire With An Ether Explosion
Mounting tires is a pain in the ass, especially when they're heavy tractor-style off-road knobbies. So why wrestle with irons and pneumatics when you can just light a fuse? Doesn't look like the tire took damage in this unconventional mounting method... but it certainly doesn't feel SAE approved. Who can...

Weird Diesel Fire Turns Seattle Highway Into Blazing Hell River
Weird Diesel Fire Turns Seattle Highway Into Blazing Hell River
A truck burned down on Seattle's I-5 this morning and exacerbated the misery of many morning commutes, but the odd thing about this car-b-que is the burning trail of fuel pouring off the truck. Diesel needs pretty extreme levels of heat to ignite... making this a rare sight indeed. The...

The First Desert Shakedown Of All Three TRD Pro Trucks
The First Desert Shakedown Of All Three TRD Pro Trucks
Toyota "didn't have room" for me at their TRD Pro party in Las Vegas last month, so we'll have to experience it vicariously through Roman Mica. He was the first non-Toyota employee to take the TRD Pros into the dirt, and he was kind enough to tape it for us....
