passengerpete Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) drive train is nissan safari/patrol, also has the pto on side of gearbox for winch. the gearbox is massive an is also found in smaller Nissan buss the smaller trucks so is a bit of a over kill in a wd21. over here we don't get any of those jeep diffs dyna 44 ?

passengerpete Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 i like that front bar! that SAS sounds solidly built! D: should serve well, i like it. *jealousy* front bar is Nissan factory, they came out standard on em here. its only good for mounting lights as its very light, it being pulled off soon so winch can go on. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 A PTO for a winch? Never would've thought of that... overbuilt is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsin Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 i have got same problem. There is no waggy axles in europe. but i have got vg30 engine! i dont know if i can use Patrol GR y60 2.8td or 4,2td gearbox? i think there can be a problem with different RPM of diesel vs. petrol? do you know? thx, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passengerpete Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) i don't know the the best solution mate. they all involve skinned knuckles and swearing. i never tried putting a patrol transfer case on the back off the vg30 trans. all tho i can confirm that the automatic trans shear a common bolt patten at the bell housing end. so that might be your answer. so try putting a auto patrol trans in with ya vg30 bell housing and trans pump. or try flipping ya stock one Edited July 14, 2012 by passengerpete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
