I removed all my flare seals and drilled bigger drain holes in the bottom of mine after seeing how much mud and crap they trapped against the body. Now when it gets a wash the flares get a good flush out too. Why try to seal the unsealable? No difference in aesthetics either so a no brainer for me.

Yeah done that with the front flares but hadn't bothered with the rears. Will be doing this though...

Gave the black trims a light sand and a new coat of jam.
Even remove the door trims and then the outer door handles and cleaned and polished where the handle sits.

Fuck it’s cold in the garage...
And I’ve only removed one side. It took maybe seven hours plus to remove and clean the door and black trims.

Honestly depending on your next adventures planned by the sounds of it you may well be betterer off cashing up those beauties and going next level.
Have found putting Mrs MB’s tourer through Tassie adventures that 40NB light gauge steel steps (albeit poorly paddock designed only too) dinged, then heart shaped, then folded etc....
As a minimum you should seek 2.5mm maybe even 3.2mm walls on 40NB if needing to get gnarly and rest on a rock or two

I will keep these steps mate. They are strong as an ox. They certainly aren’t light duty. And I like the look of them.

Yeah well when the extension is finished, there will be a new garage next to this one for me, but 10m long. Seriously thinking about putting a wood heater in there. But then again, I want to demolish the old carport, level it out and build a big shed there for me. With a wood heater.

Maybe just an extra “slider” rail then below and slightly chassis closer than the current step rail are you thinking mate? My little experiences find most lower sill damage has been prevented from upcoming 45 degree angle objects leaning against/around. Tuff chassis’s our old Patrols, somewhat Sliders in their own rights

Kinda forgot all about it.
So I ditched the switch idea and turned my thoughts to this.
It’s made for VRS winches, having all the correct plugs to fit. Got the side cutters out and lopped them off and grafted it in to the Patrol.
All works as it should.
But now I’ve decided to remake an entire new engine bay loom from the relay box.
As I had modded the OEM relay box to house all the extra relays I was running.
This pic is what it was like. Tons of spare spaces.

Fast foward to the final mod.

But, this mod was done what I had projected HID light with LED angel eyes and blue Devils eyes. These are now gone so I still have the relays connected. So I will remove the relay box and rewire it again so I can use these relays for something else.
A big can of worms I think I have opened up. Rewiring this relay box was a BIG job...

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.

Thanks Darren....
So I removed the rhs strips and plastic guards. Gave the door strips a sand and paint and new flare rubbers fitted. Also had to re align the rear bar as it was slightly tilted back and the ends of the bar were resting against the rear flares. (Tilted backward)
All fixed.
