Will post pictures. The Shortie's rims are Micky Thomsons. They look cool, but I would actually prefer to swop them for Nissan steelies and 33" rubber to make the midget truck appear more legit.

Hi there
I have a technical question, but will do some introductions first.
I am far from a regular on this forum. I have four Patrols
1) 1985 MQ SD33T, on 35"s
With GQ body due to MQ...
Marks4wd says they do not have it and do not know of anyone who has manufactured crawler gears for the MQ generation.
Something that might be cheaper than portal axles would be to have a slower gear...
Thanks, but I guess portal axles would not be super cheap. I think I may be slow on the sarcasm there.
I suspect in terms of turning speed, portal axles would achieve the same as slower diff ratios....
Hi Everyone
I have an ancient one that is still going strong.
It is a 1985 model with the SD33 turbo diesel. It is purely mechanical, even the fuel pump is mechanical.
Does anyone know if it...
Jeeps are great vehicles, but the thing with the Patrols is that besides being strong and capable, it is also great for overlanding, packing space etc.
I am an infrequent visitor on this site. Much more at home at the Patrol forum in South Africa where I am based.
A few years back I replaced my ZD30 with a Lexus 4l v8 (the 1UZ engine). Of course...
