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.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Cheers ET & MR's,
Keep those idea's/experiences coming Gents. We're all better off at NP.com.au getting them fast-tracked in under a decade.
So glad I finally joined the Forum, Cheers Blokes !!

Ok..
So let's just put this question out there..
You build your camper using gu diff etc etc to carry spares..
You half way across the desert and you shag a bearing..
Does that mean your turfing the camper for the sake of a bearing? ??
Another reason to go a normal setup and carry spares. .

How often does a rear bearing fail in a patrol though?

Never if you are carrying a spare... It's the law.
Hehehehe... If it came down to failure rate the ZD30 boys would have to carry a spare you know what before a rear bearing

So then you can carry all the same spares instead of one set for you trailer and one set for your patrol

Seems very over kill for a extra set of bearings.
