All that footage of Andy trying to get over big red?

I have been reading this thread religiously! Looks like a great trip was had.
Myself and some mates from Tassie are planning to tackle the Simmo in mid-September.
All of this dust talk has got me umming and awing about adding one of those uni filter Safari snorkel sock things for my aftermarket turbo-ed gq td42.
Is this a worthy purchase or am I better off just shaking the normal air filter out? Anyone run these things and if so no terrible impact on fresh air flow?
Top thread and trip guys! Keep the photos coming.
Some more pics. Blowout near Cameron's corner image-3743886990.jpg Camp setup image-467908483.jpg halfway across Australia image-3398164570.jpg heading into a storm image-2013342416.jpg

WOW, looks like you did a good job destroying that tyre stropp, it's rooted!!
Good to hear you and the rest of the crew make it home safely, looking forward to the trip report and photos to come, especially yours Snicko, I'm sure it will be very comprehensive as usual.
Have unpacked but not yet got stuck into cleaning the car yet, tomorrows job. Have done a service tho and bought some new front door hinges top and bottom both sides. That should get rid of a few rattles a couple more to track down tho . . Bloody corrugations.
Yeh rossco with the corrugated roads I didn't feel the tyre go real quick but then I thought that's more than a rough road, whoops too late, I'm still trying to load the video.

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.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
