A Well-Loved Nissan GU Patrol: Fully Overhauled with Boss Aluminium
Paul's passion for adventure shines through in his completely overhauled Nissan GU Patrol Coil Cab. This build truly embodies the spirit of exploration, thanks to the full suite of Boss Aluminium enhancements. From the Premium Tray to the fully decked-out M-Spec Canopy, and the convenient RT1 Rooftop Tent paired with a 270 Awning, this Patrol is equipped for any adventure.
The standout feature? We colour-matched all doors to the cab in Nissan Charcoal Pearl KH2, the same paint found on an iconic R32 Skyline. This attention to detail gives the build an OEM+ finish that turns heads wherever it goes.
