The Icelandic expeditionary force which is employed on a peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan uses heavily modified Nissan Patrols for mobile observation missions in the mountains of Northern Afghanistan. The Irish Army (Republic of Ireland) also use the Nissan Patrol as their main utility vehicle (the 260 series replaced the Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 in the early 1990s).

Patrol is now in service with the Irish Army but 260s are still used as well for training in off-road driving. The Indian Army used to manufacture its own version of the Patrol under license but this has now been replaced by the Mahindra jeep.

Βέβαια το παραπάνω δεν είναι heavily modified car, το παρακάτω είναι!
