    Mate, this needs to stay on here, its a gory but a reality check (particularly for us novices that might be tempted to do something silly). I am learning so much stuff from this forum. I have previously used my tow knob for all sorts of stuff, but never again. Now I know why they refer to them as knobs!

    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.
