MK NISSAN PATROL HIGH STEER CONVERSION.

Gday everyone,
This time we set to work fixing my patrols steering issues.

[@corymelland50]

Great truck. Lots of opportunity for great upgrades. Keep the projects coming!

[@HarpersShed]

Sure is mate👍

[@giuseppemiceli6803]

Complimenti per il mezzo, e bel video, se fate altri video di’ fuoristrada sarei contentissimo. Ps. Io produco la maniglia posteriore del lunotto e posso pure personalizzarla!

[@BALO.Marine]

Great video mate. Very impressive old girl you have there... its no Triton 😉 but still not too shabby 😂😂. Look forward to seeing more work on it!

[@HarpersShed]

Lol yeah wouldn't keep up with the Triton mate but we do try.

[@mattmorley2110]

Awesome old rig man rattle gun is needed I think for those big bolts 😅 but all in all love the video bro

[@HarpersShed]

Thanks mate, yeah rattle gun and big socket got the job done 👍

[@mattmorley2110]

Yea mate keep it up bro

[@seventeenreasonsails]

I don't want to alarm you, But I think the steering wheel is on the wrong side...... ☺

[@HarpersShed]

Lol seems to work ok for now 👍

[@nevsmate8663]

[@the_dingo_show]

How much you need to send a set up to QLD for me!?! Very cool upgrade well done.

[@HarpersShed]

I'm sure I could work something out if you were genuinely interested mate. Send me an email if you want [e-mail]

[@DarcyDevine]

How will the SOA work with the high steer? It looks like it would run into the top bar, great work mate! Looks mint, would love to do this on mine

[@HarpersShed]

It might, have to cross that bridge when I get around to doing the SOA conversation. I can recommend the heavy duty high steer though, made the whole thing drive way better

[@OnlyStatik]

7 month update? recomended mod? and would you be willing to make/sell me a kit??

[@HarpersShed]

I could definitely recommend the conversation mate, was a lot of would but completely changed the way it handled. So I won't be putting any kits together

[@djmini2numpty141]

is there anything you can't do ????

[@HarpersShed]

Yeah mate heaps I can't do, wood working comes to mind 👍

[@SmartMenTopRoll]

It’s for sale now for $7000, considering buying this rig.

[@HarpersShed]

Hi mate, when swapped the MK it was mechanically sound but the rust was starting to come back unfortunately. It would be a solid truck but be prepared to cut rust out before every rego. Or if you could get a good body to do a swap with it would be great.

[@SmartMenTopRoll]

@@HarpersShed yeah just had a look at it this morning. It’s too far gone, the body has rust absolutely everywhere unfortunately!

[@HarpersShed]

@@SmartMenTopRoll yeah that was the main reason I moved it on.

[@jimw7916]

Not being too smart@rsy,, but have you considered buying a Toyota of that vintage?

[@HarpersShed]

That would probably be a 60 series I would think. Why would I purchase a 60 over what I already have. Not to mention the extra "Toyota" tax puts them outside of my price range. As a serious question though in your opinion what would make a 60 series better than my MK? both leaf sprung, both older more agricultural units. Only feature I can see with the 60 would be the 1Hz if you could find one but then you would have to turbo it to make it even remotely close to the SD33T. Patrol also has stronger diffs and gearbox.

[@jimw7916]

@@HarpersShed looks like ive hit a nerve there havnt I?

[@HarpersShed]

@@jimw7916 lol perhaps. I do apologise if my response came across negative though as that wasn't the intention. Why do you feel a 60 would make a better alternative to what I have?

[@jimw7916]

@@HarpersShed its got "Toyota" written on it?

[@HarpersShed]

@@jimw7916 very true mate 👍
