    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.

    Also knots 3D is another good one. Both are good cos you can pause it and go one step at a time or back steps while you do it.

    I always use soft shackles in preference to solid lumps of steel. Unless you're having issues with sharp edges, then they're the safer option.
