    Allowed to do whatever you want. They won't be going on as part of a certification process, they are simply stickers which an individual chooses to place on their own personal property.

    I think I still have a few number 5 here Lucas I'd be happy to sell on. I bought a big batch for my club a couple of years ago and still have lots.

    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.

    Also, the overall size of the sticker will determine the choice of style.
    For example, some people may want a bigger sticker to go on their barn door window which means the lettering will be bigger so styles 2 and 5 will work whereas others may only want a small sticker on the step right above the towball/hitch so style 3 would fit better.

    Good Q 4X but agree with Tas... You can have whatever sticker you wherever you want in whatever format you want (copyright aside).
    You can spoof any style, wording or format you wish.

    OSH does come into the equation but only if it is a requirement under a Reg or Standard to display a warning or advisory of a particular size or wording in a particular hazard or piece of equipment.
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    G'day HPP,

    True story below, but we should firstly all thank the proactive NP's team above ! Personal experience, still haunting me, nearly killed a bloke/best old mate at the base of Gatta's Widow back in 90's being a dickhead in youth!

    Foolishly, tow ball left my rig, via snatchem at warp speed thankfully missing the windscreen yet returning back via the stretch to wipe out everything in its path !!!

    We should all wear warning stickers proud as punch whilst offroad, I can't imagine a court of law anywhere in the country judging otherwise for such due diligence ?

    Where do i/we get one Daz ?

    Cheers MB

    Really!!!

    A shackle failure is pretty rare! Operator error I reckon! I have seen a shackle fail only once and that was when it was set but they put the pin through and did not do it up...

    Have you got a link to a follow up story Krisso? Keen to read it if you do mate.
