You just made me not want a G and I have been interested in them since the 90's. I can't imagine paying $20k+ for one and then having to 3-link it. Is it only the front that suffers? Is it due to the radius arm design? Radius arms are not know to flex much but in my 80, I don't think it is...

Cool and interesting to see the axles are available here in the USA. I have always wondered about the bolt on portals, Marks 4wd makes some in Aus and there is some German company that makes them too. I have got the real deal, no bolt ons and no ex-mog or Volvo portals, these were made by...

Got to say I like it a lot. Saw one of these when I was in Oz back in 2008. It was a stocker and at the time I was kind of like, meh. But yours built up does it for me, looks awesome! Cheers

Stoked again! Sent my 2nd IP from Europe off to the IP shop last week. This was the cheaper 2nd hand of the two and looked a lot worse from the outside. Well, turns out it is in better shape! Case on it is fine. All I need to order are barrels and plungers for the IP. Ordering those directly...

Right on, thanks for that info and link! That is definitely the road I am thinking of. Looks doable to me in a pretty well set up 4wd, especially if you had another person along in a similarly set up truck. Going to have to try it next trip to Baja. :) You will not get past the construction...

Thanks and always up for a trip if I can afford it and have the time. So hit me up anytime! Got some friends there I wouldn't mind seeing again. Would love to do the Cape. ;) I really liked Fraser, such a diversity of flora and fauna. Like I said I didn't see many people except at the hot...

Awesome! A good number or tracks I have been looking at in Baja are pretty remote. Missed most on a recent trip. One looks pretty hardcore out of Auga Verde, south-south east of AV. I believe it may be the same track you mention above. You can find a picture of it on google earth. I tried to...

zero issues. Stock steering box and Saginaw pump. Cheers

Put air bags on the rear suspension. They will make a huge difference when towing. Since you don't plan to do much in the way of off-roading, the air bags should never be an issue for you. Cheers

I don't know, I think there is lot's of places left where low and MTs are used/useful. Maybe that is because I live in Wyoming though!? Ya know when the Patrols were sold in the USA, 50yrs ago, Nissan had dealerships way out in the boonies. In the 1960s there was at least 2-3 dealerships in...

The only time I have found an AT not to work to good is in the mud. Generally they will last longer than any MT. They are better on the HWY too. Last set of BFG ATs I had, after 40,000 they still had 40-50% tread. Two trips to Panama on those tires, no flats. I am considering BFG ATs in a 37...

Awesome! I do like your sleeping/storage platform. Different than most. Cool to see you did all this work yourself. Have fun out there! Cheers

bump, still got it Cheers

FYI, without checking the FSM I believe stock caster is 3*. I went to 4* on my truck. And for those not clearly understanding, that is 3* back from center. Forward and it is out the wrong direction. Cheers

So Nissan is basically getting out of the SUV game. They got the Y62 Patrol as the QXwhatever but that is not much different than other bling bling IFS & IRS trucks. To me those are just big Subaru's. I don't even know, is the Pathfinder still being produced? I do know it went IRS awhile back...

Nice, I like the black accent stripe. Different being high on the body. Not sure about the representing of the tent brand but I am sure you have your reasons for that. I think I am going MTR's on my next set of tires. Are they a true 35'? What do they measure on the truck once it is loaded? I am...

Size of the exhaust matters. Not just if it is SS. Also how it is routed and installed. If it has restrictions, that will limit it. One thing to remember about a diesel is it likes to breath. The more air coming in and the free flowing of exhaust going out give big improvements. A better turbo...

All Nissan would have to do to save themselves in the SUV market is bring in the Y61/GU Patrol in 2-door, 4-door and pickup. Along with the TD42. Never happen though. Combine it with some good marketing, showing the history of Patrols plus what they do in other countries, they would sell a lot...

Nice! Isn't the Fronty a full boxed frame? I got rear ended in an 04 Tacoma at about the same speed, I was at a dead stop. If I hadn't re-inforced the frame rails plus had a very stout rear bumper plus heavy duty towing hitch below that it would have buckled the frame for sure. Luckily though...

those 25yr old Patrols are looking better and better! :) Cheers
