Green, what do you need the 4WD for?comp style diesel pump/ upgrade injectors
turbo mod for bigger boost
custom flares to suit big wheels
5' coil lift efs kit
solid chrome alloy panards
return to centre steer dampner
2' body lift
safari snorkle
twin fuel tanks
boost guage
polished alloy tray,bar, sliders
37 maxxis tyres on 16x10 alloys
drop front radius arms
hella 4000 spot lights

Looking at some of these changes any experience out there
The lift is the most important
This car / truck will not be on the 'road' that much not worried about noise.

You shouldn't need new diffs and axels, just reduction gearing in the transfer case.If you are serious about using a vehicle modified as above, then you would need to replace diffs and axles.
otherwise it will not perform properly and will break components using 37" tyres.

The truck sounds like a serious weekend toy, all it needs is diff locks and its a comp truck, things are going to break regardless. Trucks/cars are expensive toys.
Yep, buy someone else's toybest bet is to buy one off someone that has already thrown 20k into it

Or better still, get a trail bike
Pulling a Caravan? Or snatching a stuck truck? Don't use 5th gear while towing.Trail bike can't pull the loads I need it to - 2 ton. Average.
Also wouldn't take a Kangaroo to well on the front.
Or better still - have one built to your speicification's by your brothers best friend a master mechanic!
For my needs where the land it, I need it out there but I can't wait to drive it to the Lower North Shore muddy - and see the faces on the women who are given them to ' drive the kids to school' but have no idea what to actually do with it or how to drive them. Except block you drive way!
Frightening

It's a lot easier to swerve round a roo on bike than a 4WD... I know from experiance.
If you ever want to explore the watties on the NSW Central Coast/Hunter region, let me know.
I hear the MTZ's and the Baja Claws are great tyres, great on road like Coopers tyres and outstanding off road like Simex tyres.Pat - Fitted the MTZ Mickey Thompson they are (OK big thing for a girl) AWESOME!! They give unbelievable traction.
Was doing 3rd gear up the mountains in a diesel manual with no power steering weight at 3 tonne. Thought I did very well
Sounds awesome green, you'll have a heap of fun with your Rhino.Added the OME 2" suspension kit and steering stabalizer. Makes a huge difference.
Looking at a draw storage system. due to last incident. Best to have things tucked away.
The Nissan Patrol GU ST 4.2 Diesel Turbo is the best car I've driven Pat! My daughter is driving it on her L's, she's confident and feels safe mind you she is not going over 60 kms!!
Next is the dual battery and internal water tank 75 litre. Give the 'Fatboy' bulbs a go they are incredibly powerful best driving at night I've done up here.
Will post photos of the White Rhino later
