Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

The main thing to get right is the mounting points. Do a search on the forum where a couple of guys have done it for GU's. I even think there is a template for the mounting points somewhere which you could mod for the GU.

I would think about this carefully.

I find this step incredibly useful.

I wonder if it won't be easiest to make some brackets that fit inside the existing bumber to carry the swing arm/s. Then you just need to drill holes through the bumper.

What are the mounting points of the GQ's like in comparison to the bakkie as this has 2 swingarms and could look good with minimal mods.

Do you use both the spare wheel carriers?
I need to find a place that can make me some to fit on my bakkie's bumper. (basically the same bumper as you got).

Fanus - Post a pic of your bumper. I have a plan for the spare wheel and Father Christmas may just swop you a bumper with double swingarms for a standard one

Is that why the Firetruck is red!!!

It's Father Christmas' "African Slay"

cool.
My standard spare wheel carrier will be available then if you want it..
can you post more pics of the swingarms. What do they look like without a wheel on them. (only got one spare, maybe I can put the hilift on the other one )
