Started the sides:

The roof rack complete with brackets for the worklights, but without the brackets for the strobe warninglights. Also missing the brackets to fasten the rack to the ski-holders:

Nice job mate, looks very neat. Ski holder brackets arent big on the list of mods here lol
Thanks for the pics

Now finally!

Used 8-9 hours yesterday to finish the roofrack, most of the time went to get the wires inside the tubes (4 wires from each of the strobes and 2 from the worklights)

Looks good mate. What sort of weight are you looking at carrying on you roof rack?

[HitMix]

Well its quite overdimentionated, i probably wont have more than 5-6-7 6m long 110mm plastic pipes so not so much weight. The rack-weight is probably 20-25kgs as it is now, and i am only allowed to have 100kgs on the roof anyway (norwegian rules as to how much weight i can carry)

[Oversize]

You are doing a great job of it. Well done!

[Thirsty]

Nice work, Keep the photos coming.

Cheers

Does anyone have any information about a socalled "2inch receiver" tow hitch for y61 patrols? I found this type via google: TOW HITCH but it says fro 2000 and up.

Is this something you can get originally from Nissan? what about a tow hitch on the frontend, would be nice to have a winch or so that can be mounted both front and rear just by switching places
