This is what my DX looked like before I fitted the ST seats & centre console. The second pic shows the DX style handbrake which is a little different to the centre console version.

The ‘ring’ which holds the base of the gearshift rubber boot on is also slightly different between the two models. The centre console version has an extra hole to mount the console to. Not an issue if you are changing to DX style though.

When I had my seats re-done, the passenger seat was foamed up to become a 'bucket seat' . It's licensed as a 3 seater, but really..... unless the passenger sitting next to the gear seat is small in stature, it's near on impossible to fit 3 burley blokes - like me - into my ute. lol.

Not sure, but I'm guessing so. Lights is his mate, I think. @mudrunner
I'm really impressed with my 37" Extreme, so I'm seriously looking into changing my 40" Aurora.
I've PM'd lights and just need to know the total length. I need to know whether my current Aurora bracket will be big enough or too big for the Extreme 40".

Beast mode!!
I have done a fair bit of driving at night the last couple of weeks and the Extreme Light is awesome. I have to say though the 50w HID Lightforce XGT are a bonus down the middle. Really pleased with the total output.
Crazy though that you can get soooo used to the output that it's not enough! More! We want more please! Can I have some more please sir?
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
Check out my Toy -->

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.
