Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

42mm spacers each side will do the trick boet. Also, if you cannot do the suspension lift for a while, then i suggest the following as a far cheaper alternative that will work perfectly fine until such time. - Make some extended shackles for the rear leaf springs , easy, if you extend 75mm pin to pi...

Most of you wont really be interested in this as you all have the luxury and comfort of coil sprung rears, but for those that have / or are thinking about buying the pickup, this is my extended shackle story... Most of you know i have had my Pickup for some time, but for a long while i had wanted to...

Its the Protruding nut visible in the pics. In the top view you will see the nut making contact with the axle tube, this limits the "Turning Circle" in essence, by limiting the extremes in regard to wheel axis.

(Excess only R350.00) I went with GrandGlass and i just wanted t...

I have posted a fair bit of info on this forum about this phenomenon. But in Short,.. its only audible wh...

By Corne's description this is one very clean, original , well looked after , unmolested Patrol. Corne,.. the fact that you give such detail on all things i find very cool. Although i already own a Patrol,.. i hope someone from the forum buys this from you as it seems a really good vehicle, and hope...
