Mudrunner did you get yours from ARB? Looks like a good piece of kit.
I want to get stuck into repairing the bolts this Saturday and if that goes to plan, install the drop boxes on Monday, dont like all this wandering over the road business!

Another hint which will make the job easier & faster.
The outer two bolts can just be drilled out & nuts fitted above the factory threaded nut. Saves trying to tap a new thread
Cheers

That link i posted goes to the supplier and you could likely get one over the net pretty easy if you have trouble.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

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.

Nice score!! As said, you might be better off just taking the time to drill out the old bolts.I ended up getting one today from ARB, it was supposed to be $105 but I paid $1.05, love check out stuff ups!

Well drop boxes in.
Took it for a drive and 1 km down the road it started shuddering and vibrating loudly.
Turned out to be the rear tailshaft rubbing on the chassis stiffener near the transfer case
Never heard of anyone requiring this before after installing drop boxes, I am over looking at the underside of my vehicle!!!!!!!!
Have you reversed the rear tailshaft so the smaller diameter section is at the front?

No, is that required with drop boxes? Will that put it out of balance?
It's required with any big lift and has no ill effects on balance.
