    Hello gods of the higher powers, it might be an idea to merge the other two threads into this sticky so it stays up the top and keeps everything neat

    http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...s-another-life

    Leave it up to you to decide

    Great Idea Kris.

    Not as easy as it sounds, I had every intention of doing it but when the threads are merged together it will turn into one big mess.

    Unless boss man knows an easier way, I'm leaving as is

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    The reason a young guy died down the west of tassie was because the hitch was welded in and rusted out from the inside. The coroners report said the average wall thickness was down to 2mm.

    was underqualified, His parents must be asking a heap of questions.
    IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN AUST, BUT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ENOUGH IS BEING DONE
    every 4X4 should have this stickers,,,,, is it one of Lucas"s

    AND NEVER JOIN 2 STRAPS WITH A SHACKLE

    Do we know the kids name in the Patrol?
    Love this sticker. Any1 know where/who I can get one from?
    It's something I never knew until I came to who forum a few years ago.
    I'm just grateful that all those times with the hilux nothing bad ever happened from it. And I'm glad I found out before it actually happened.

    Being 17 and never being told... Who was to know better?? Educating the new 4x4ers is a priority. For many reasons.

    "Love this sticker. Any1 know where/who I can get one from?"
    Tried searching goggle for it and no result. What about making them and distributing through here. Taslucas, is this something you would do?
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
