Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Some better pics

Thanks Grant!

Those are some very useful pics. I can see that the idea is easier to implement on a GQ, but I`m sure it should still be possible on a GU.

I have missed the boat now to get this done before my Namibia trip in a few weeks time, but I still think this would be a worthwhile mod, and am definitely going to try and get something implemented before too long.

Hi Guys,

This is an old post, but anyone who did it on a GU? I would like to do mine.

Me to so please share

I would also be keen!

Hi guys.

I am also keen to try something similar and have been looking at options for a while now. I like the idea of the steel "window" in your pics, particularly for security and durability etc. I am building a drawer system that will be quite tall and a lot of the useful space between the drawer and the back window (over the wheel arches) will not be well used. The plan is to fit a box on the inside similar to that found on an RSI type canopy that would mean the back of the vehicle could not be accessed from th side and I could store a fair amount of things that could be. The "box" could also be sealed to avoid ingress of dust and water from the outside. Perfect for a bush shower setup, kitchen or tool cupboard.

Cheers,

Gary.

If Charlie Duckitt is willing to .. I saw what he did on SKILPAD .. and it is wayyyy batter than anything I have laid eyes on yet ..

I know mine is not a Patrol, but I'm following this thread for some ideas. My van has back windows that can never be replaced if broken, so I may as well start looking at a replacement that can also be functional.

Hi Guys, was speaking to one of my reps and she showed me some photos of what her hubby has done re replacement bumpers front (+-R13000) and replacement rear bumpers with double swing away wheel carriers (+- R9000) looks impressive, he only does cruisers at the moment but is keen to have a look at doing Patrols as well, I will speak to him and see if he would be able to do the window mod as well

Mmmmm guys I think that the G463 M/Benz gullwing windows is the same size and shape as the GU Patrol....
When i have both cars with me next week I will make templates and match to see if it fits
