    Whats good about the quality of your build is that it does not look like some redneck piece of crap and whilst it is definitely 'bigger' in many dimensions, its pretty much in proportion. It certainly would get a second glance from Mr Plod, however 'maybe' sneak thru except at a road stop. I mean, there is nothing 'unsafe' about it as it stands, just out of original spec.

    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.

    At this point i blew a bead on my rear left. Deep in a rut on a hill. Was shit.!!!



    Some inventive winching and my exhaust jack allowed me to re-seat the bead in the position!!!!





    Then back into it!

    So after noticing the GQ sitting on an angle in the back yard I noticed yet another flat tyre. That counts 4 flat tyres for a single day trip!!! That's Nuts!!!

    So bit the bullet and bought 17x8 neg13 steel bead locks yesterday.





    I got them from Huntsman Products via eBay. I have been watching them for ages bit bit the bullet. Was a little worried about quality but actually really impressed with these. Heavy. Thick. Good kit.





    I got a quote at $100 a wheel to fit and 3 days to fit!!! Nah bugger that. I got this.

    Balancing beads will save me having to pay to get them spun up.





    Time to strip the Traps off the steel rims. Holy shit!! What a task!



    This tool made it a little easier



    Once the bead was broken the tyre pliers got a work out!!





    Then throw in the beadlock and line it up.









    For those playing along at home. The rattle gun helped ALOT!!!! Rattle up in a star show over and over agind to pull it down before the torque wrench does the final stage.
