Not too shabby... nice job going around the sides too!

Few people up here have painted the plastic on their Xterra's black, they used the Krylon plastic paint AFAIK, might be something to look into.

Winter maybe?

R50's don't have torsion bars. Struts & Coils ahoy!

I've read a few threads about the possibility of SASing an R50... as they said... it wont be a simple job. I'm sure it's possible with enough time, money & engineering... or a magic wand!

TJM is a no go.... they're done with the R50. As zonian mentioned, ARB & KMA make front bumpers for the R50. Rear ones are custom.

Nice! Welcome to NPORA!

hmmm... not to many diesels owners here - as the majority of us are from North America. Have you checked out this site: http://pcoa.org.au/forum/index.php A lot of R51 owners on that board.

/\ good point... they have had some quality & timing issues in the past... Some people havent had as many issues... anywho - buyer beware.

Wow, that guys excited about his pathy! Welcome to NPORA!

I'd suggest parking beside another pathy and comparing the height. Welcome to the board!

Good to hear from you, sorry about the bad news. Take care of you & your family.

lol, get used to it!!

The bolt is actually into the metal behind the plastic, I found a hole there where a bolt the same size as the one that holds the stock loop in threads in perfectly. As you mentioned, The shelf is somewhat L shaped, so the lip is at the back, nothing ever falls forward into the passenger area... things sometimes fall backwards when I am wheeling, I have a couple bungee cords across the back now, but something usually falls anyway. Most of the stuff up there is pretty light, spare coat, rain jacket, bug jackets, tarp, blanket... I have a couple heavier things like the hand held CB, First Aid Kit, and another set of jumpercables... but like I said it always falls out the back, into the cargo area.

Yup, that's where I stole the idea, it's much easier in the Xterra, but meh, I got it done, and I have a lot of stuff up there!! I love it! (I only wish it looked as neat & tidy as it does in my pic above! lol

try looking up Rough Country UCA's, JGC (Jeep Grand Cherokee) Coils, how to crank torsion bars... Welcome to the board.

Welcome to the board!!

Closer to the front of the truck, it's thru the little stock loop I had to drill thru the plastic, and make a loop of sorts for the other support

Welcome to NPORA!

ahhh yes, my first aid kit is up here:

Welcome to the board!! Lots of info here on lifts, tires, protection and maintenance!

HI there, welcome to NPORA! Congrats on your new to you Pathy!

Nine years old eh? damn, you're old! Happy Birthday you two!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080212/ap_on_...lion_mile_truck Man's '91 pickup passes the 1M-mile mark Mon Feb 11, 11:08 PM ET GRESHAM, Wis. - Frank Oresnik's trusty pickup truck — he calls it "the old girl" — passed the 1 million-mile mark with a camera crew filming the event and a public-radio audience listening in. "I can't tell you how much fun it was," he said. "It was really humbling, all this interest." Recent news stories told how Oresnik had just 1,200 miles to go before reaching the milestone in the 1991 Chevrolet Silverado that he bought with 41,000 miles on it in 1996 and used in his business, distributing seafood and steaks in the upper Midwest. At the time, he was getting his latest oil change — the kind of regular maintenance he credits with helping to keep the truck going so long. He said he's had the truck's oil changed more than 300 times. It's had so many changes that the oil pan drain plug had to be rethreaded several times, he said, and "you never hear of that." He passed the million-mile mark Friday in southeastern Wisconsin while on his way back home to Catawba, located in the north in Price County, about an hour west of Rhinelander. He was on County Highway V southeast of Fond du Lac. On hand was a film crew from Chevrolet's public relations and advertising company, and he was speaking live to Robert Siegel, host of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." A news crew from CBS had been with him earlier in the day. "I wont say it was relief ... it was exhilarating," Oresnik said later during a stop in Gresham where he has one of his longtime customers. "This truck has been so dependable over the years." Now that it's made history, the truck could be headed back to the automaker or Shell Oil. Oresnik said there's been some interested in GM or Shell Oil buying it.

Hey now, I can delete that post... and mine where I was hallucinating certain QX4 parts if you prefer?!
