Ah, you need to upgrade dude! I'd give you my 5 if you were nearby. It's just sitting in my pelican travel case.
My New Build: 1990 3-Door Nissan Patrol, 4.2, Diesel

Thanks man! All my iphones are donated phones. I use my iphone 4 for a lot of my videos. All my extra cash goes to fixing and modding my vehicles. Looks like I'm gonna be ordering a number of parts for the Trooper soon. I hope to get a new plasma cutter too. So, there goes all my cash. Just hoping my stuff starts to take off soon. We'll see.
I really dig the photos though.

Re-painted the rear bumper with bed liner today to clean it up a bit... no pics of the finished product, nothing special.

No pics, no proof. I never happened.... LOL!
Come on, show us the pics. Is it professional, spray-on liner like line-x, or rattle can liner? I won't judge either way.
The only option that i have for bed liner, is to import roll on, do rattle can (sherwin williams), or drive my rig/send parts 12hrs north to Santiago, and pay 2-3 times what spray liner cost in the states. I stick with the rattle can for now.

Hahaha...fine! But don't say I didn't warn you. It's nothing special, just Rust-o-leum bed liner.

I like it. Are there end caps that are supposed to go on the sides? Just being nosy.

I'm going to fill the gaps with back-up LEDs and have a tube bumper installed.

Yea, so today's trail run didn't turn out as planned. My exhaust got ripped to pieces, light was torn off, and front end dented. I fell into a ditch due to the soft dirt and needed a tractor to pull me out. Video to follow.

Hate to hear that man! Sorry to hear you new light got ripped off too. I assuming from the images, that the pillar light is what got ripped off right?
Still, these are the consequences of off-roading. Hope this doesn't impead your progress to much!

Hey man, I forgot to ask earlier if where the fender and bumper came in contact, if it actually made large dents, or just barely dented? I just couldn't see real well with the dirt on it.

There is a minor dent but nothing too serious. The fender and bull bar are coming off soon anyway!

Bummer! But if they get used they get bruised.
Looks more like a UAZ or GAZ that pulled you out than a tractor? Hard to tell from the pic but it is not a Rover. Masonic emblem back lower RHS corner?

Pretty nice set of trails there! Glad you didn't seem to get upset about the incident. They are bound to happen. Also, now, it's just one more piece of history to add to the Patrol.
Thanks for sharing the vid with us.
