Looking at used Patrols. I care about what broke, not what a forum in 2011 thought was “the spec”.
If you have done desert miles, what needed love first — bushes, shocks, or the driver? Patrol notes are on the site; I want the unglamorous list.

Bushes and shock oil first, then my fillings. Leaf felt honest; coil felt faster until it was not. Inspect the story, not the forum spec.
I missed a tired steering damper once. The desert told me immediately.
