The radiator is back there instead of at the front, stops it getting clogged with mud and smashed to bits :thumb2

Bloody hell Jay! Glad you both got out OK, a bit of metal can be straightened out and polished, something Rick is, obvioulsy, blissfully unaware of!

It's gut wrenching when it happens but as already said, as long as you were both unharmed. :thumb2
It'll be back to it's former glory soon I reckon

Looking for an upgrade for Nissan Patrol mirrors, I kept coming up with towing mirrors from a company called ClearView.

Awesome as they were, and looked a lot like those mirrors from an F250, there were $700 plus postage from Aus... No one would post to the UK. :doh

Another company copied those mirrors and called them BettaView. These were half the price but still couldn't get them to the UK.

Both of these were a bolt on option for the Patrol and would of been nice. :doh

I decided to take matters into my own hands...

I got hold of some Ford Transit Connect mirrors. (Electric & Heated) With a bit (a lot) of tweaking, hole cutting and plastic shaving I was able to make them fit onto the Patrol mirror mounts! :naughty

I am pleased with the result... Got the passenger side still to do, so will more than likely make a video of the steps I took! :thumbs
