Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I gathered my Warn winch needed a little TLC and a good service. Since I've got a service manual for the winch, it's a relatively straight-forward job and I enjoy getting my hands dirty, I have decided to do this myself. I took the winch out a couple of weeks ago, and it has been lying in my garage ...

Hi there other Patrollers. I took part in the Bridgestone challenge this weekend. The 'trol performed awesomely, although did not fare too well with scoring. The poles for the obstacles were just too narrow. I think I scored 250, if I recall correctly. Nevertheless, I seem to have torn my left front...

Let me know.

Thanks Ian. If it is still off would you mind posting some dimensions and what thickness is the plate? David, The bumper is back on currently. I removed the winch as I need to clean it, greese it and similar when I have some time. I will have to take the bumper off again when the winch is all clean...

I had to remove the winch recently to give it a service. As such, I thought I would post pictures.

Thanks for all the feedback. I think that settles it... I think I'll take them... \:D/
