    Good to hear Roofy, as I am on the verge of doing mine plus add on the TB brake upgrade at the same time.

    Well done, Roofy. It's a big job for sure. How did you go with getting the right number of shims for the swivel bearings?
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    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.

    And when you mentioned how many views your build thread has, see below why.

    Come across that pic all the time on Google searches.

    Even shower time searches, it's served me well
