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.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

Pretty cool, I'd change the bullbar but. . Not that I could anywhere afford the thing. .

Sure is! Mind you I look at it & think it'd probably be bloody hard work punting along some of the tracks we've been on. Mind you I really don't have a sense of what 6 driven wheels would be like off road. Just doesn't look like a vehicle got tight going or high clearance rocky tracks. For the money the interior is pretty basic too.

The motor would be nice, but for that sort of money I reckon I'd rather have a half decent Iveco Daily 4x4

Yeah initially I thought he was on Crack! Clearlt a lot of coin dropped on that build. But I agree, for the coin I would have gone a Truck for sure. I wonder what his Build price was if he is looking for $165k now.
An Earth Cruiser or Iveco for the win.

Its a barge alright. Looks like its set up more for GVM/GCM expansion to me - there is a shot of it with a trailer and what looks like a Mustang on the back. I am guessing 5m into the sand it would be sitting on its belly. There was a guy in the Landcruiser Club many years ago who had stretched a Nissan MQ to a 4wd plus lazy axle for towing a horse float - was on a club trip - pretty easy one, Mt Wellington, Higgins Yard Howitt High Plains - and that thing was a total pain for him on the tracks, too long and constantly getting hung up with no drive as the rear set of wheels would hold the centre axle off the road - different I know to this beast. He only went on one trip, never saw him again. Quality of build looks great though, like a lot of the functionality, and that motor trans combo would be great also.
