It's a 2000 model Mitsubishi Pajero 4X4 3.5 Lt V6 GLX LWB petrol/LPG gas almost as big as a Toyota landcruiser or a Nissan patrol,I don't know there name in the states but it's the biggest 4X4 Mitsubishi sell here in Auss,economy wise the LPG gas @ almost a 800 to a 1000 Ks per tank  it's great so with between 8,000 to 10,000 Ks for the trip It's just the ticket I need  . regards Harry.

Yes it does harry. 4.0 liter high output with a header and a few extra goodies. Tough as nails to boot. She takes me everywhere. Now if I could just find some gold I'd buy her a mate. WOLF

Very nice Wolf that will easily get you out of trouble also my last 4X4 was red so I know red 4X4's go faster  ,I'm heading back to Victoria at the start of December for another quick detect to get in the swing of things so to speak before I go to the wild West,I'm going to hit some of the places where I picked up the gold a few years back so I'll take a few photo's to put on this thread boy am I chewing at the bit. Leave you with these parting words "don't forget to swing low and slow" regards Harry

Sounds like you have a pretty good plan in place. I'm so dang busy at work etc. I have not even been able to get out and detect. And now my gold spot is covered in snow. So hopefully in spring when things thaw and melt it will drag some more gold down to the creek. So I will try to hit it early this year. Hope your trip in December is very rewarding Harry. Looks like I'll be gold hunting vacariuosly through you so I hope ya do great. Dig it all brother. WOLF P.S. Rumors of a trip to Australia for work. How cool would that be?

Just put a set of Rhino racks on the 4X4 ready for the solar panels that are the power source for the Waeco CF 40 fridge and I'm all ready to go  .
