My bad, it is the G63, I am not a G owner so not well informed. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-mercedes-6x6-beyond-the-reach-20150413-story.html http://www.fourwheeler.com/news/1503-mercedes-6x6-appears-in-new-beyond-the-reach-film/ It is shown throughout the movie. I was...

After waiting 6 weeks, barrels and plungers have shipped from Japan for the injection pump! Ya! :wings: Cheers

Just watched "Beyond the Reach" with Michael Douglas. G500 6x6 in it, he says, only one in America, $500k without tax. :) Watch the movie, it is in it a lot and all bling'ed out with overland titanium sporks and things. Cheers

Man I am jonzing like a crack head!!! I would soooo love to be in Baja right now. Going to be a long wait until next winter. Cheers

Very well sorted Cruiser. I know Jason and this truck. If you are looking for a v8 FJ60 you really should look at this truck. Jason has fixed anything and everything that was an issue on the truck and he didn't cut a single corner doing it. Cheers

Thanks guys. I have got to get some very thin rubber sheets and make up some gaskets before I can proceed to much further. The door handles for example need this rubber gasket between them and the body. Since that is a long gone part I will need to make it. In the meantime, wiring harness...

The color for the truck was taken from these pictures. Originally a more deep solid green was discussed. That being a fairly common Patrol color, Roy Rogers green as it is known because the advertising Roy did featured his green Patrol. A lot of Patrols out there that color though and the owner...

The 64 is back in my shop and I have already started in on assembly. Cheers

One thing that always ruined Rovers for me is that dash. What a hideous lack luster dash. Would dislike looking at it all the time. It seems even more crude and ugly to me than a Willies. Cheers

I need to zip on down to Moab for a weekend soon. Been awhile for me. Actually been since 2009 when I was down there with my own truck. I am due! Cheers

When I get the truck back and there is more paint on body to see I will post the pic that this color was taken from. it is a Nissan color but not an original 60-series Patrol color. The owner of the truck has about 8 or 10 canvas samples. I am just waiting on him to decide and then we are a go...

Sneak peek picture!! XZL tires mounted up to 16" original wheels. Yup this is the color that the Patrol is going to be! :) Cheers

Here is a very nice restored Patrol. http://www.motorcarstudio.com/1281_V20150403095909/Atlanta/1977-Nissan-Patrol-for-sale Now the ad claims it is the nicest restored Patrol on the planet. I can guarantee the 64 is going to be nicer! :) Cheers

The 64 is headed back to me this week! I am very excited to see it in paint. It is just the tub, floor pans and firewall but still, should be starting to look like a truck again. Wheels have been painted too. XZL tires should be mounted up as well. Originally these had tubes and flaps, so we...

Progress... Once I was happy with how clean the inside of the #2 crossmember was I sprayed weld through primer. I made a re-enforcement plate for inside the cross member. Plate is 1/8" and ya I primed the back side of it too. Had a few areas that needed to be dealt with in the...

You seen the Front Runner ones that go across the rear seat footwell? I think they work in an 80. Spare tire location is a good location for a tank too. Cheers

Awesome! That is what the problem was with my J's. Much more than 6200lbs and they squatted badly. Even the new ones. I got some pretty good stink bug with the 1" spacer in the rear. Was thinking of trying a 1" spacer in front. But I may also try no 1" spacer in the rear. I also been running...

I think the J's are good to about 6,000lbs. I didn't have any complaints with mine until I got heavy. In my opinion though, the Slee's are a much better spring. Best you can get for an 80. Ride is really nice with them. HDP in rear is stiff though and I am at 6200ish lbs. I hear the Slee HDP's...

Slee 4" Cheers
