    Rear shelving

    Almost never use the back seats,
    So I pulled them out and made up some shelving to go there.

    Looking good mate, I would advise to fit a sheet of ply ot the front of the front legs for the water tank to lean against though, i think there is a real likelihood that you will end up with a punctured water bladder in the position over time. Looks good though.

    I assume your just putting bedding and clothes bags and soft stuff on top of that shelf? Hence leaving the cargo barrier where it is? Did you make the space under the size to suit a particular Tub size? or Engel on a Fridge slide or something?

    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.

    Thanks guys, the space on the bottom is what's left after making space for the bladder,
    I have some 4mm mdf lying around which I can line the side with, nothing to heavy will go on top, there is still some tie down brackets to go on the top so that everything is strapped down tight

    It depends on the state your in, vicroads web site has info on seating changes, you would need to change your rego details if the change was considered "permanent".

    Hi opinion, I haven't weighed the shelves but it feels to me to be about the same weight, I used 20mm rhs with a 1.2 wall thickness and 12mm mdf.
