my D22 getting SAS

[joshy]

no pics yet, dont pick it up till next tues/wed. Spoken to an engineer, just got to give him a few figures but hes confident by increasing the tare weight, as long as it still has enough payload to be called a ute, it will be okay to lift the tow weight.

Good work Josh, looks like the bug has really hit going by 2 Nissan's.

Sharing the same driveline you can pinch components from the other vehicle.

Dave.

 

[joshy]

thats half the reason. If i bust a cv or hub or centre in the nav out wheelin i can just swap em out.

 

[Dave]

Your Nav runs GU diffs doesn't it ?

I know there Patrol diffs just cant rememeber if they were GQ or GU.

Dave.

 

[joshy]

Yeah, GU diffs

 

[Dave]

Ah so you done it right the first time.

Very strong CV's and all.

Pics.

Dave.

 

[joshy]

yeah. i didnt want to break cv's again. Ive smashed on these gu cvs 10000x harder then the nav ones and no issues so far.

couple pics of the new tow pig

 

[Dave]

Good buy, you dont see to many red ones out there.

There usually all white here in the hunter valley.

6 months and this thing will be out flexing the D22. Lol.

Dave.

 

[joshy]

haha funny you say that as i bought it from the hunter valley.
While i do have an extensive mod list planned for this...(put a 3" straight through exhaust on it last night) i wont be going nuts on it untill the Nav is my daily driver again.

Looks like a slick tow rig. Nav + Patrol = Rabbitohs colours?

 

[joshy]

yeah i noticed the colour combo....an unfortunate one. haha would have prefered a green patrol but they didnt make it. Even a white one, but i really had to just take what i could get.

Dealer in cardiff, but they got it off a bloke further out.

I made a thread for the trol on action, check that for updates, Need to keep the two builds seperate!

 

[Clint.B]

Holy Sh**. Awesome amount of love and effort you have put in dude!

 

[joshy]

Thanks mate.

Check out how tiny the patrol is

Got rid of some of that red

And in nav news, ive fixed the busted brake line and its ready for this weekends trip, but if i find the time im hoping to make a winch cradle for behind the bumper.

 

[Dave]

The Navara dwarfs the Patrol, love.

Is the Patrol a ST ?

A mates got a 2004 model white ST, nice truck to drive.

Dave.

 

[joshy]

haha you should see the pic of it next to A.J's GU. Its just a DX pov pack.

 

[Dave]

Got a pic of it next to AJ's GU ?
