Top job Redlands 4WD!!!

Hey mate, that snorkel she looks prrrretty.
Kelvin.
Very nice Scotty, I would love a snorkel, more for the looks than anything *L*
Why the UHF under the seat???? You wouldn't want to do any deep river crossings. How do you know what channel you are on????
I mounted mine under the steering column and have troubles knowing what channel I'm on when I'm on the fly, now regret mounting it there.
Not knocking your placement, if your happy with it that's all that matters
Looks bloody great Scotty, I do like the color of your Patrol mate, a lot better than the boring white that I have..
Nothing wrong with white cars, especially on hot days.
Tony
Nah Doggy, I love the whiteys....I'm hoping to get a white one myself!Quote:

Go the whiteys....We may need to poll up a colour thread...lol
Nice "tank"...the lift is a perfect hight in my opinion. I'm planning something like that!
Nice job.
Just like the driver old mate .. lololQuote:

Good idea - thanks mate. Forgot all about that.
Forgot how basic it was and was just looking through some of the original snaps - even the tinting was that light bronze looking gear as opposed to the ultra dark job on it now .. plenty more to happen to Tank - stay tuned ...
Attachment 1224
Scotty, are you after a double din Sat Nav mounted in the console or a portable one mounted to the windscreen????
Have a look at the mirror type gps as well have not seen one in real life, but have seen them advertised and i think they would be better than both the other type.
this is one type, this is more a reverse camera mirror but you can hook a gps up 2 it

Thanks mate - they look a treat ... sounds really practical, as you could clip off the monitor when out bush etc, so it doesn't constantly go to the camera. The GPS/stereo I was thinking of are just the ones advertised in the parts section on the front page of NissanPatrol.com.au - link below:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=280599318580
Can't see any reason these wouldn't do the trick - not out to rock the world as it were, and they have all been finishing around the mid $500's to $600 on each of the bids - the cheapest one I can find in Northfield etc are at least double that price ... decisions, decisions ...
I was looking at one of those as well, I don't like the postition of having 1 in the centre thought. If i was parked and looking up an address on the gps or searching for music, i think the auto gear stick would get in the way and be annoying. Dont think its a great spot for a dvd / tv player for same resons.
Guess I wouldn't really know untill i seen one in a patrol, maybe it would be ok
Very nice, but prior to looking at the pictures I did wonder how you change channel etc with it under the passenger’s seat,
:oops:, long time since I used a CB or radio.
All the work looks way cool, however what I really do envy the terrain you’re driving in your video, nice and thanks for posting.
phil.
P.s. yes it’s got controls on the mike I see in pic’s. No need for any help, honestly I’ll get there (I drive a patrol).
Thanks mate - pretty pleased with it, and it's nearly where I want it ... the remote handset is great, as you don't need to take focus off the road to change channels, squelch etc ... more vids to come after the next few weeks as I've got a bush trip to Beerburrum next weekend (plenty of mud as it has been bucketing down here), another trip to Janowen, and more than likely another trip to Moreton Island (sand etc) for 4 days camping ...Quote:

You can see where they blocked up the outlet on the top to rejoin the stock Nissan one, and same goes for the rectangular inlet on the bottom (plated up) and moved to the front. Nothing you can't do with a a bit of zincanneal and a kilo of sikaflex!! lolol ... They also removed the hose/line mounts etc from the old box and pop rivetted onto the retro fitted one to keep it clean ...

You can see the balance pipe on the inlet below for LPG/Snorkel setup (5/8 connection/pipe) from the top of the inlet to the back of the mixer.

Scotty mate, you should know by now a 1992 GQ TB42e Ti might need a fuelk tanker to follow on a trip but will never reqiure diff locks.Quote:
