New sills even!!
Got home from work and started stripping the winch and bar off of the shorty. Unfortunately my home spanners were a hand me down kit and missing half of them. The sizes I need!
So waiting for my mate to get home from work so I can use his sockets.
In the meantime I have measured up the tray, and will be pricing up the steel at various places, to hopefully start the tray on the coming weekend.
Hoping to have everything swapped over, tray built and ready to drive in a month. Then I'll be hitting the tracks hard!!
Cheers
A few more pics while I'm waiting.
The back wall
Well I have pulled the rear diffs out ready for the swap over. I'm going to need to replace bushes in the lower control arms on the ute, but oh well.
Hopefully will be able to get them both back in on Friday.
Cheers.
Both rear diffs are in now. I took a time lapse video of the shorty, but can't figure out how to upload it.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
Spun up a body lift. Ended up going alloy using a few off its around the shed. 50mm body lift with 80mm diameter alloy, 12.5mm bolt hole. About to get some bolts and go out it in!
Cheers
Or not. Nut and bolt shop was closed, :( gotta wait till tomorrow now :(
Well, progress is slow. I've pulled both front diffs out but haven't re-installed them yet.
On the plus side I'm getting a td42ti to throw in the ute. So it should be good fun!
Cheers
Update time. Progress is slow, as I've been out of the country for a few weeks, and working flat out while I've been here.
But anyway. Still waiting to get my front diff back from my mate (he's checking the locker and putting the 4.6 centre in).
I've put the front diff back in the shorty so it can roll around (although I'm seriously thinking of Comp trucking the shorty, just for fun)
And I have a td42tisitting at work waiting to be thrown in.
Shouldn't be too much longer now!

Picked up a tray for a couple hunge. Not quite the style I wanted but was so cheap I couldn't go past it!
Trays dummie mounted the back windows cut in, windscreen refitted, body lift is in! Looking good can't wait to have it back on the road!
Pics of tray

Bit of an update. Tray is now attached (sort of, still to to do it better) engine is all wired up, I've got goodies in the mail. Just need to make an air box and snorkel, fit the winch, wire up all the accessories, for sliders, make brush bars, and whatever else I remember on the way.
Cheers!
As it sits now.
great job mate, thanks for sharing
Soo, I got all my switches and lights. Now to wire them all up. Also picked up a snorkel for $70 so got to fit that too. Still a long list to go but it's slowly shrinking!
But the plus side is I took it for a run last weekend and loved every minute of it!!!
Cheers!
Sorry, forum runner is only letting me post one pic at a time.
How have people put rock lights under their front guards?
Last one for now. Still have to fit up the winch and get it running nicely aswell.
Cheers !
Headed out to the rockit toowoomba comp at Janowen hills on the weekend. Had a few mates competing, and had an awesome weekend.

Got the ute back from being tuned. Not the best power, but not bad considering the setup. Time to save for a 12mm pump and a garrett though methinks......http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...015/10/357.jpg

So. Been a while since I've been on here.
Anyway. Not a lot more has been done to the ute. Other than bending a couple of diffs. So I'm saving for a set of braced ones. Also saving for some armada extreme shocks.
Have been stating to do a few comps now. Did the rockit Comp back in March, planning to do round 2 and 3 soon.
Also planning to do the Logan challenge in September.

Went to janowen over Easter with a few mates
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...016/05/140.jpg
One from the rockit Comp
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...016/05/141.jpg
My mates ute, not mine, but I may or may not have done this minutes before him, and I may or may not have bent the front diff doing it.
Cheers

Well, just got back from the rockit comp, time to get stuck in and get it ready for Logan challenge.
In the next three months it's going to cop new springs/shocks. Re bushing throughout, braced front diff (preferably a gu one if I can find the $$$)
Also the tray needs to be straightened and properly braces after the weekend. While I'm at it is going to get proper sliders (I mean some solid bits of kit!!)
Also going to do a fair bit of a tidy up
In the engine bay, might finally get around to putting a proper bracket on my intercooler lol.
Have a new bonnet for it with scoops,
Going to get a whole lot of aftermarket gauges aswell. (Oil pres, boost, egt, water temp,)
Should be a good couple of months!
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...016/05/397.jpg
This is why my tray needs bracing lol.

Well, I've started back into the old girl today.
Started by cleaning out the inside, while doing so I realised that me being fat and jumping the ute too much has bent my seat rails, and cracked my floor pan. Pulled the seat out ready to fix/replace. Bars also off atm, will be getting a bit of a straighten and a quick lick of paint before going back on.
The grill also got a lick aswell....
Got a bit to do, but all going well I should have it together in 3 weeks for winter wheel!
Cheers!

Been a while since I updated, but I've been busy.
Long story short I've had to downsize my patrols so I can go to uni.
Soooo.
Currently pulling the td out of the ute and dropping it in a roller wagon cab.
The Utes gunna be out for a few years, but plans include a v8 and a few other goodies when I have $$$ again.
So here's the new wags anyway!!http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2016/11/81.jpg

I hope you're studying about Patrols in the uni, not about how to sell Patrols. :D ;)Quote:
