My "new" Nissan Patrol SD33T on 33/10.50/16 Interco Super Swamper Bogger. It needs a lift kit as soon as possible and a winch.

nice tires!
Guys i've been looking to your cars and i realized that extended shackles + body lift is enough for you.
I'm right or you need to do some extra modifications to fit 33's ?
2 inch lift should get 33's no worries
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK![]()
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
I need just extended shackles (work in process) + 3.5cm wheels spacers and the boggers will spin without rubbing anywhere! It's enough for a "poor" SD33T!![]()

Great images guys.
My brother in law had a 86 MQ back about 7 years ago, boy was that thing a monster. He had raised it about 5 inches, had 33" muddies on it, it was a Diesel and I actually saw him use it as a tank, knocking burnt cars out of our way and making a new track, trees where knocked down and everything with it.
To this day I still believe the MQ's are one of the best Patrol's Nissan ever produced.

I'd have to agree there mate. Although the 86 models is an MK. Same diff though. I had an MK and stupidly sold it when I was building my first house so I would have extra money to put into the house. But I never need the extra money in the end and the guy I sold it too wouldn't sell it back to me
This was my MK around 18 years ago, just before it went in for 2inch lift, 2inch body lift and 33inch BFG's on black sunnies. It was the Anniversary Edition, so it had full velour trim, even the canopy was lined, the canopy on the back was NOT fibreglass but metal and painted to the color of the car. And it also had factory suspension seats.
I sorely miss this car more than anything...
