Really is great looking Patrol.
That's why we love them.
2011 GU8 ST 3.0 CRD, ARB Bullbar with IPF spotties, scrub bars and side steps, Snorkel, Dual Battery system, Waeco fridge, Turbo Timer, ARB Roof Rack with 5 IPF spotties across the front, Custom full Leather Bucket seats, DPchip, 3" Taipan exhaust, ARE Intercooler & scoop, Autron EGT/Boost and dual volt gauges, ARB front locker.
Installed some work lights today and fitted the centre caps for the rear wheels. Haven't wire the lights up fully yet. Will be working on that this week.
Yeah wow that rear bar certainly leaves a heap of room for bigger rubber! Damn though if you can see them now imagine hanging 2 x 35s off it! You'd take out a motorcyclist going the other way!!
Car looks great mate!
I was going to ask what you thought of the powerful bar and you have already answered!! Damn save some more coin for a Kaymar! The Raslar bar looks great that Nisshead got! Might grab one of them.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

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.
Hey have you got a pic of the water tank setup mate? Be interested what you have done

The bar has already started to crack and from fitting the towbar is when I noticed the quality of the bar. I would like to move them in further so they don't stick out too much but don't want the bar to fall apart!
WTF.. that's not cool... Its unbelievable the crap people put on the market.. if it can't handle the load why suggest it?
Have you had it fixed or modified?

Will take some pics tomorrow arvo and post them up. Has turned out well but I need to install the cargo barrier to support the baseboard so it doesn't break.

Tell me about it. Even the tail lights weren't working when I wired them up (manufacturing flaw). I only noticed the crack the other day when rectifying another issue with the bar. I don't have much time to fix the crack as we are heading to the Cape in June so that will test out the quality of the bar! More than likely save so cash and buy a Kaymar when I can.

I would try and weld the bar before you go, Cape York does take its toll on cheap metal work...lol There are a lot of bars out there comparable if not better then Kaymar for lots less!!! Reaserch!!!
I reckon that bar is illegal with the tyres hanging out that much, do they stick out past the flares???

As nisshead said try get it fixed or you'll be leaving it on the side of the road somewhere..
It should only cost a couple of hundred to fix and also move those wheel carriers in a bit..
