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.

Track was much more chopped up since last time we were up there the bottom section is usually a brezze but a few obstacles a bit lower now.

Hey fellas out of curiosity did you guys see any of the boys in blue there yesterday? Had a mate tell me that his mate was at ellis yesterdayband cops were handing defects out like candy.
I wonder if my mate is friends with someone here in this group or he was with another group?
Quick update on my rig.
The rear diff noise was getting pretty bad so decided to strip it down last night. Fair to say she was gone20190519_031019.jpg

We removed the 4:6 diff gears amd installed a 3:9 set for now.
Will be removing the lockers from.the 4:6 diff gears and installing them i 4:1s so i can utilise the car on the street amd strip better. The 4:6s were good off road but on the street amd strip ri run outta gears quickly on road tyres...
We are now gunna run 4:1s with a crawler gears in transfer for off road so i got the best of both worlds.
The only time i will notice it a little sluggish will be with the 37s heading t amd from bush but i never thrash it with big tyres on.
Hoping to see you guys on the next one

Poped a bead in a tricky spot, had to pull sideways out of the rut and jack it. Have to say exhaust jacks are wicked.
