The Nissan Patrol is among the most respected off-road vehicles ever built. First introduced in 1951, it was created to rival the Toyota Land Cruiser and quickly earned a reputation for being nearly unbreakable. Over successive generations, the Patrol became a firm favourite across the Middle East, Africa, Australia and parts of Europe, praised for its ruggedness, torque-heavy engines, and advanced 4WD systems. The modern Y62 Patrol continues that tradition with powerful V8 engines and terrain management technologies—although it’s now more luxury-oriented, especially outside of utility-focused markets.
Meanwhile, the Nissan Navara has firmly established itself as a favourite among pickup drivers across the UK and Europe. Known in some markets as the NP300, the Navara has combined utility with refinement over the years, making it a compelling choice for those who need a working vehicle during the week and a comfortable tourer at the weekend. With features like coil-spring rear suspension, switchable 4WD and a strong payload capacity, the Navara remains a practical and popular option for both leisure and trade use.
At 4×4 Works, we’ve supported countless Nissan owners with accessories and upgrade parts to make these capable vehicles even more suited to their purpose. Whether you’re kitting out a D23 Navara for expedition use or restoring a classic Patrol to take on new trails, our curated range of products is built around durability, ease of fitment and field-tested performance.
Among our most sought-after upgrades is the Old Man Emu suspension system for the Navara NP300, which offers improved ride comfort and increased load-carrying capacity. We also offer steel bumpers, recovery winches and snorkels to help you push further into remote terrain with confidence.
Our underbody armour and LED lighting solutions are also popular with drivers looking to protect and enhance their Nissan 4x4s. For those needing additional load space or improved organisation, we recommend our Front Runner roof racks and drawer systems, ideal for both professional and expedition use.
Nissan’s part-time and electronically managed 4WD systems provide dependable traction on all surfaces, and vehicles like the Navara offer a smart balance between comfort and off-road capability. The Patrol’s more serious off-road hardware, such as available locking differentials and long-travel suspension, means it’s still highly regarded in specialist off-road circles. For more detail on Nissan’s 4WD systems and technical heritage, the company’s official global site provides a useful overview: Nissan Technology Overview.
We’re proud to help Nissan drivers make the most of their vehicles, no matter the terrain. Whether you’re using your Navara as a daily workhorse or preparing your Patrol for a cross-continental expedition, we stock trusted upgrade parts from brands like ARB, Old Man Emu, Front Runner and more.
