    But only one mod though benny boy only one...lol

    If purely muddy bog holes, off camber slippery tracks and clay based terrain I would choose tyres over a lift any day.

    No point with a lift running slicks in the mud.

    Exactly right. No Brainer. Suspension will be there for the next 200,000kms if you buy right.

    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.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    So those would never be modified in any way, so the owner wont ask the question

    The biggest performance gain you will get "off road" over stock is with a good set of muddies. Not sure I would call that a mod though! So my choice for the 1 only mod would be a winch, all the other mods will only get you "into trouble" (fun) the winch will get you out.
