No it is a 2.5l turbo diesel with a 6 speed manual.
Steel bull bar
Nissan canopy and snorkle
And a growing list of other wants

Hopefully have some pics real soon to show you.
I live in the northwest of Australia, next nearest town is a 2 hours drive through next to nothing. We have summers with an average of 40deg c days and winter is around 30deg c average. So not a lot of mud or snow to play in, we do get cyclones so it rains a lot but isnt a great idea to drive in them.

Beaches are our best outlet, or we head inland to the national parks and the edge of the deserts.

Cheers

Welcome, Bigbugga. This is by far the friendliest forum I've ever seen. Hope you enjoy it. Do you use the snorkle much? The only time I see one in Georgia is when somebody from Alaska comes through on their way to Florida, lol.

Where I am we dont have to many water crossings but the snorkel also helps keep the thick dust out of the engine as well. Helps with the breathing anyways, kind of like a air ram, forcing air into the engine. Dont think it gives an increase in power but seems to helps smooth things out a bit.
I used to live in the south of the state and water crossings were plentifull then, getting water over the bonnet was common, so in the Discovery the snorkel was put to good use.

Havnt had a chance to do a lot of off road with the Navara just yet, mostly long trips.
