Lockers are expensive items, if you can get free one's and feel you might use them in the future go for it now or you might not get the chance in the future you can always justify a bull bar and winch to the missus as a safety itemOriginally Posted by Money-fishing

Hey Ben I have to agree with Gary on this point. You have made a very valid point though and plenty of folks get complacent because their car is more capable than they are.
Given he is looking for fishing and camping I assume you hit the beach? Front Locker as a Capital Expense would be near the top of my list. Well it was second only to the lift. He has $5k so is already ahead of the game by allot.
The reason I am steering away from spending on a winch is because the market is flooded with good quality winches far far cheaper than a brand new Warn from ARB. Money better spent elsewhere.
I assume you will have some coin of your own for the build and will fit a set of 285/75/16 tyres to it. Those rims you have will be fine.
I'd still be going Lift, Front Locker and big compressor, Bullbar and side rails, fridge and slide. Then you pay for a good set of tyres and source a decent winch somewhere else.

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.

I'm not usually one for being a stickler but to quote someone's statement from the previous thread
"As a small incentive, if i win ill give away $200 worth of ARB gear to one lucky voter. Simply post the vote count after you vote for me. If it matches the random number i have written down you win... simple!"
PS congratulations on winning the comp mare, well done
He mentioned the winner in another thread Clunk
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

I could not find the thread, who won then?
Yeah i read that he was going to honour it but was having trouble figuring out who voted when. He said he had chosen a random Number, hopefully under 800 as most here voted in the 500 to 800 category and he was going to make good. Not sure he named a winner though? So good call Clunk.
If you cant find the winning voter Amile then feel free to choose a number between 500 and 800 and look again mate

Maybe a new thread could be started and every body who voted can post their number, then the winning vote can be checked on fbYeah i read that he was going to honour it but was having trouble figuring out who voted when.

Hi Liftlid, I posted it in a thanks thread in general chat. The winning number was 279.
The closest to this number i could find was 280, belonging to a member of this forum actually - Wazza_66.
