    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.

    Thats good
    Have they changed the paint .
    I had trouble removing it some yrs ago.
    It didn't want to come off at all.
    Took more like 20 washes and scrubbing and still was visible.
    Take it back to tyre man and ask how, or even better get him to remove it.

    Cheers

    Use a high pressure water blaster at close range, a little bit of degreaser helps too

    Sneak up on it carefully with the pressure washer, mine says not to use the highest pressure no22le on tyres.

    I carelessly ran it over my bare foot once, which is also against the rules in the book. :-)

    While it hurt like @!@!#%@, it didn't do any permanent damage, and a tyre must be tougher than my foot - just take care, I guess?

    240 grit wet and dry on a sanding block with running water makes quick work of it. I'mm getting some STT's next week I'll let you know.

    I remember someone telling me you can scrub/sand the white to clean/renew the white lettering.
    As it comes away to reveal fresh new white.
    Need a steady hand one would think.

    might have been wire brush I was told, can't remember for certain long time ago.
    Cheers
