Wow that pod goes on there real nice mate. Just sits down under the roof line of he can nicely. Are you swapping out the wheels and tyres for something a little more aggressive? Bull bar or any other bar work planned?

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.

I'm going to run these tyres for the dry. Then add 6x39" muddies for the wet. Not sure which yet.
Bull bar etc on way. Fair bit still to do but will post pics when I get it done.
I'm going to get a new tray made for the ute and sell it.

Enjoying the trips
That is a good work set up for you. What a fantastic package, how do you go accessing the pod for your gear?
Cheers

It certainly seems boss of the job so far. Weight us no issue now. GVM 4500. The ride on the parabolic suspension is amazing. Ha re the pod height. Is a bit of an issue. But bought a wheel step. The folding type. Fuel out to Ramingining on sh@t roads was 13.3/100 so pretty fantastic. Lots of power too. Over all very very happy
