Hello folks I suppose every club has to have one lolhttp://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/images/smilies/221208/clap.gif.Names Les and have always believed in nissan since was a kid and have owned quite a few since.I am planning a trip down west coast of africa up east coast to india then try get to australia back through china mongolia up through russia through europe back here is the basic gist of it.Going to take about 3/4 years as have a project ill be working on as i go around plus trying to tie in varies charitys the logistics of it all still an ongoing saga.
As my nissan patrol is going to be my home i have extended it to 21 ft +-.I and will be adding a top box that will serve as sleeping quarters.I basically have added a swb patrol on the rear of the lwb not a cut and shut its a fixed trailer with a self steering axle with a selectible drive t third axcle.Its a trailer thats my story and im sticking to it lolhttp://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/images/smilies/221208/lol.gif well thats what ive told every cop that has stopped me.drive is achieved through transfer box with hydraulic drive still to be fitted will be useing hydraulic assistors on the the axcles so basically put more traction to wich ever wheel i choose and raise and lower chassis and body as i wish lockers to be added,, putting revolver shackles on as to reduce flex on chassis.still to fit is
hydraulic winch,,self containd hydraulic power pack run on lambardini engine,,2x torpidal tanks 1x gas 1x air both 45 lts,,have three fuel tanks two in origanal mounts 1 extra added giveing me a range of about 1200 + miles ,,1x water tank,,central heating ebersphacer night heater ,,power 1 x silent generator plus solar panells for batterary bank chargeing lights ect + split battery system run off alternator,,air compressor,, gps navigation ect ,,computer,,2 way radio ham and loads more will add as i think of it snorkel 90% made just finish off made from old tumble dryer as dont think plastic ones are that good and as for drain pipes not good,,better on landrovers fit their image looks like a toilet down pipe My opoligies to those that have done this system lol will post pics on how ive done mine as soon as i can figure out how to upload my pics May you all have a Merry Xmas and an even better new year Please excuse grammar spelling ect it is early brain not quite up to speed yet http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/images/smilies/221208/thumb2.gif

Happy Christmas Les and welcome aboard. Can't wait to see your photo's. I think people use photo bucket type sites and link to those. Good luck with the project.
