Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Laat my weet as jy reg is. 'n Vriend van my is 'n rep vir Kumho vir Lombards. Ons kan pryse vergelyk

Ons gaan eers moet seker maak 33's gaan pas. Iemand met Patrol en 33's gaan moet wiele ruil met my, dan kan ons meet en pas (en sny )

Dan budget ....

Dan uit figure hoe kan ek dit vermy... Ek wil darem nog die kar kan sien

For those following the progress, next week 25/26 I start pulling all the bolt off bits off the Sani.
Reenen should be at me arond the weekend with the new axles and we can start fitting and building things.

Will be working in a spare workshop we have that has just gone open after a tenant moved out.

Idea is to get to at least a very lifted 2x4 solid axle drivable vehicle going, then see how we can get the doubler hooked up to the existing TC.

If I can get into he workshop this afternoon, I may have an hour hour or two of light to work. The tenant moving out of the workshop has run into some of his own logistical problems and there is a lot of stuff in there.

Reenen leaves Greyton tomorrow with the diffs and Sakkie from the Community forum has the transfer case and set of leaf springs for the front end. Sakkie travels through here often and may be dropping them off today or tomorrow.

The diffs look to be the C200 diff up front and the massive super heavy H260 rear. If this is the case, the ratio’s on these diffs will probably be around 4,3??

Thats where we are at now.

Sweeeeeet..... Keep us posted !!

I can't keep up with the three forums and facebook and still get the project done, dealing with the problems I refused to believe was going to happen ...

just a little photo report..
Bottom of the door now 700 off the ground
Got some politics going at the workshop and property at the moment and have not been able to work since yesterday.

Also looking for a set of rims as not one of my three sets I had collected, fits over the front HUB.

So if anybody has use for some old 7J hardbody steel rims, set of 4 original Sani mags, and 4 x 6J steel Hardbody rims, I need Safari steel rims. 4 is a must, six would be SWEEEET.

Why don't the Sani mags fit the new axles?? they are 6 stud aren't they? PCD should be the same??.... or am I smokin' my socks?

RICSTER -- on Hillbilly now are the axles and hubs from a Patrol/Safari .. and the hubs on those are bigger diameter than thos of the Hard Body [also Sani]
I had to have mine cut at engineering shop to fit on THOR.

Some other issue as well in that the brake calliper does not fit into the rim either. Yet the set of 10J rims that Reenen had, was no problem.
