    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.

    Sweet ride Nic. White is the best colour on a GU I think. I love the cargo area too. Wish I could put some draws in mine but I need the space for work...I can't believe not one word has been mentioned about a TD42 engine. You guys are getting slack!!!

    thanks mark, the TD42 would be nice but i think that kind of a change is abit far from a reality at the moment. if it aint broke why fix it you know? looking forward to getting those bits and having a bit more piece of mind. thanks for all you help also.

    Cheers

    You'll be right with the 3L though Nic, it's just what you wanted and it's a farking great car! If I was interested in buying a GU then I would want one just like yours.

    I did my first trip with the drawers last weekend and fark doesn't it make it easy!

    Hey Chris,

    Mate there is just one words for the drawers, AWESOME! i have some recovery gear in one side and tools in the otherand it was absolutely awesome to be able to just open up and know exactly where to look. Even down to the spare few rolls of TP stashed in the compartment near the wheel arches. the car is amazing. sooo much space, heaps of clearance and traction and even though its nothing like the TB42(or TD42 but ive never driven one) it still has plenty of bower to boot. it doesnt even notice the trailer, everything is just great. im very happy with my purchase, thanks for the comments though =)

    cheers
