G’day NissanPatrol.com.au,
Hoping I’ve finally worked out how to select the correct section to query a ‘Series 1 GU Ute/Tray Back/Bakkie etc....Rear Main Diesel Tank’ modification/replacement.
Upon slowly descending down a nasty rocky track recently found its entry (bullbar) angle to pass through without issue, although seconds later all hell near broke loose.
The GU’s weight was almost entirely resting/tippy-toeing on these awesome Patrol axles before skipping say one metre of traction to a rear end rock shattering smack down. So much so that never before experienced the transfer case jumped into neutral (Angel Gear)
Kudos to Nissan for an amazing OEM bash plate that helped save the rest of the descent although the tanks central seam was slightly popped apart/weeping diesel from the impact.
Would any of you good folks possibly know of an aftermarket available rear tank manufacturer please and or a reasonably priced custom company to discuss getting a new needed tank a little higher with plenty of space available it appears.
