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.

Snewin,
You COULD cross the Simpson in a stock Patrol, and Nissan did this recently with their 50th Aniversary Trip and others have done with 2wd's, but the modifications can make it easier, safer, and more reliable....
Buy good quality gear, and most of my gear is ARB or similar quality, but I did buy a cheap crappo Roofrack, and it broke.
Keep your fuel low and out of the vehicle if possible, and that is where long range tanks come in.....
I have a stainless steel water tank, and it is great, but you could rig up an easy to use water supply using smaller gerry cans.
I wanted to keep the water low too, so that is why I made up a custom tank, which suits my needs,
Air Compressor is a must, as airing down will stop you getting stuck as often.
I carry two complete spares, and recommend it, but if you have the right tools and knowhow, you can get away with a tube or tyre carcass as your extra spare.
Pre-Trip vehicle check is a must too.
Mic
Definitely a good idea to keep your fuel low, so

The spare wheel bag is a quality piece of work also.
