I just finished restoring and upgrading my old '87 nissan patrol safari 4x4...I installed winch and fabricated a wide body kit for it (used metal sheet and rivets) just want to share...what do you guys think?looks like a tank!

nope, i don't really go offroad with it. installed winch because mostly im in the province area. whatever happens (got stuck) atleast i have a backup:D

my brother belongs to a 4wd club.He is not into the really serious stuff but goes on overnite trips.Towing and winching is common.He has recenty traded his six cylinder Toyota landcruiser diesel for one of the new v8 diesels

Looks great. I would never have the patience to prep a car for black paint.

is that the highline version. I have a GQ with a 93 4.2 deisel and a mountain of all the good **** on board. they are a brilliant 4wd, this poor things been up and down the Murray river many a time and never failed.

nice job there, we have never bothered to respray our old friend as its easier not to have to worry about the duco when its time to get stuck into it. Black looks fine though, we could have used that at the recent APEC conference, looks well mean, can we do a water cannon on top?

Nice try but a decent 4x4 will still pull it backwards! Its the best of the rest.

it too has a 4.2 diesel 6 cylinder with 2 fuel filter, 2 oil filters, two batterys, and 10.5 litres of oil...maintaining this burns more money in my pocket than my e34:( but still it has it rewards!hehe.. looks more mean than what the president uses for her security backup patrols. haha water canon? i was thinkin more of a guttling gun! :D

Wxactly what I was going to say - you so made it MBesque on purpose... :D

got a disagree there, the 4.2 is a very torque oriented engine and my old girl goes anywhere without fear or fail, and ususally pulls a few others out of the **** while were there too.

barn, what in your opinion are the ones above this mode given age and price etc?
