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.

Went to Toolangi twice over the last couple of weeks, I was actually thinking about selling it But after driving it I fell in love with it again!!
So removed the wiper arms and got them painted, no more glare driving in the sun now!,
Added a GPS tracker from Steve’s car alarms, bought a reverse camera and got rid of the 28m of 8mm rope and bought some 11mmx45m Whittams rope from Patrolapart
Next week the reverse camera gets fitted, some more wiring done, I’m redoing all my intercooler piping getting rid of the silicone bends, front and rear scrub rails and add my 24v alternator

Awesome Dave mate, you seriously don’t muck around good Bloke!
Way too much 11mm IMHO spooled on there though mate, 1T heavier GU’s get by well with 35m around slimline +76 drums with double the side angle hauling allowances.
GQ wagon mates seem to prefer 10mm awesome ‘Whittams’ for their GVHM :-)
Worth keeping that $350 rope clean, bagged and tagged and we’ll find a perfect win win swapskis soon enough mate

Went to Big river for an overnighter on Saturday was good to get away!
Did a before and after pic, first pic is on 33s and was still Carby auto and was it’s first trip away
Second pic is 35s, TD42
Got a USB charger port put in beside the glovebox to charge phones and hardwired my Hema in behind the dash. Got my reverse camera fitted just need to make a bracket to mount the camera exactly wheee I want out the back. Got it on a switch so I don’t need to select reverse to turn it on!!

Fitted new rear springs to take the weight properly, now it sits properly not sagged in the back, had the old bus weighed to select the right springs. It’s a heavy bus, weighed 2990kgs as it sits.
Two weeks ago went to Cobaw for a night drive, started at Alcorns then did Madman’s, I need bigger tyres as the 35s just didn’t cut it. Dragged myself 15m up madman’s on the winch.
Then last night went for a night drive in Labertouche, this car keeps surprising me. Need new shocks now as I broke one of the rears
