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.
I'll post the shots here aswell just incase the other thread dies...
Here are some pics I have of my great day. Not many as my dad was doing the shooting but here you go.
The zook will be up for sale if you know anyone who might be interested. This thing has a 2inch lift, twin ARB air lockers, ARB winch and bar and UHF. Goes anywhere this thing, but its way too light. If it were only me and him when my tyre blew out and had to be I snatched, I would have done it.
Big thanks again to everyone that helped me out that day, Darren, AB, and the dude with the eye piercing,erm, winnie?, also to the others who all stepped in. Sorry I am crap with names... It was my first time out in nearly fifteen years and when the time came, all the experienced showed that day from the guys who helped. I was totally blown away how the blown out tyre was fix and put back on. I would have just put my spare on and kept going. My dad who came along is 72, had never been 4wd'ing nearly shat himself at the Devils Staircase ( I think it was called) just as well it was dry as I would have too. I know it was easy going for everyone else but nothing pays better than experience.
My hat really goes off to AB for holding such a wonderful event, and running this great forum. I really can't wait now for the next meet up.
Now after this weekend I have just added a few more things to my wish list. 35's to be one of them so I don't get my diff's hung up on a bloody rut. I did feel quite embarrassed it happened. But on the final attempt to get out of the rut I was actually getting out with full noise and thats when my tyre slammed the wall and went BANG!
Looks like everyone had a great time, thanks for sharing with the ones who could not attend, I made this thread Sticky so it will not get lost and everyone can enjoy it.
Mudski, what happened to you is why we all go out together on trips mate and it may not seem OK to you, but we all enjoy helping each other out as it is just another part of 4WDing..........damn I wish that I still lived over East.
If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.
Funny thing is with this "repaired on track" blow out. My truck doesn't have the 80k wobbles now! Must be the right amount of mud in the tyre getting the balance right.

Might have some mud in the tyre .... That's how they balance truck tyres ( just its rubber beads not mud)
