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. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

cool my thread gained such an informative momentum. @mudrunner: thanks for posting your pics. makes it hard not to go for the air jack. with a bit of safety kept in mind, this seems quite a versatile tool. and off-topic though, but i love your truck, man! those additional headlights are just about the correct size for it. i was looking for something similar, but wasnt sure it it werent overkill. now i see they fit nicely.
life below 2000rpm is just...comfortable!
a diesel engine without oilstains is no diesel engine..
Swear by my hi lift every time took my pto bar and setup off for around town just weighed to much haven't thrown an electric one on yet so the hi lift comes with me every time wether jacking up or pulling with it or you need a 50 kg papper weight I reckon there pretty reliable I have only used a air jack couple times and wasn't to impressed
Yeah I have one and we had to use it on the Vic meet up as I blew a tyre in a rut. Once we got the fitting onto the exhaust right it worked really well. We also use a hi-lift aswell and the winch rope to support it whilst the tyre was getting changed. Well worth having I think. But I think i will get a hi-lift to as support or backup for the exhaust jack.
Gang just my pov hi lift kangaroo jacks call what you will are a good option in sandy area,s and a good arm strong winch when used with chains any where else the air bag are so much easier and lighter to use .Most people tend to use the air jack in a vertical mode but the safest way is the horizontal way with your spare wheel underneath as packing . As for problems inflating on a standard nissan cut exhaust push on firmly and press down and forward . If your bottomed out sitting on the diffs use a snatch stap rope or what ever to tie the bag under the side of least packing ie left or right 90 degres to the air bag and inflate laying on its side. Please be aware when wet think of soap in shower and be careful. Note mudski only inflated to get job done that's about 1/2 by the looks not knowing the brand and being there ,what ever it takes and no more. I love them light and easy .
