Good Day! My name is Cyril and I'm a Safari Y60 owner from Russia
I bought my Saf almost 6 years ago and we both changed a lot for this time.
I bought it used with 115000 km on speedometer in Japan, his motherland. That's is how it looked than.

I and my wife love traveling along the country, that's why I choose this car.
But almost at the first weekend we found out that the car on standard tyres was not very good in mud.

Our Hippo stuck in every puddle of mud.

So, the never ending tuning began. :) First, the Yokohama MT 285/75/16 and modified fenders.

Than rocksliders, front bumper with ComeUp 12000 winch and Safari snorkel.

But very soon I realised, 33" is not enough for our forest roads.

So, I put 4" suspention by Tough Dog and 35" Maxxis Bighorn tyres. Now I felt more comfortable.

Rear bumper also was replaced. It carried spare tyre.

High roof in some situations is not very good. :)

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2012/02/30.jpg

There can not be too much clearance. :)

Than happened the thing that many Nissan owners lived through. I tired to fight the rust on Safari body. Too much money and time was spent in vain. Finally, I bought new body for the car.

Good opportunity to paint the chassis.

And that's what I have now.
