    I just did mine used a big chunk of wood about 6x6 on the top of the trolley jack about midway on the drivers door floor.
    It was easier then expected loosened all bolts left the nuts on the bolts on the opposite side of the car and did it one side at a time then tightened them all up .
    No issues with radiator either although i still haven't tweaked the shifter.
    The rear bar looked horrid with a big gap so i raised it up using the lower holes in the top holes wich gave me 45mm if i remember correctly and drilled some new holes and fitted nuts on the inside of the chassis for bumper brackets

    How'd you remove the rear two Bolts? Having a shit of a time trying to undo them
    Whoever disagrees with the saying "Might is right" obviously doesn't own a MQ

    Open up the hole in the floor a little with a cold chistle and use a piece of square tube over the top of the captured nut. You might have something lying around (old chair leg or something)

    Or open it up enough to get a socket on it. Your going to lay your carpet back over it anyway.

    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.
