60Patrol

Greetings and happy repairing, A lot of good points and discussion here, so my two cents worth: Instead of adding or changing springs, get your springs rebent. I live outside of columbus, Ga, and there is a metal working shop that did just that for me. $100 and it raised the old 69 4" and it ro...

  Back in the early 70's toyota and datsun/nissan had an agreement about who imports what. datsun/Nissan got the sports cars with the 240 and toyota got the jeeps with the fj 40's.   I've personally seen the 3956 engine in 1985 and 1996 nissan patrol in europe. same engine but different carb.   It' ...

I ordered a brand new set from australia in the spring of this year. Both rears cost me around $300 I believe and the link is here in the links page. These guys had the parts to me in 1 week exacted and I had the cylinders on 20 minutes after arrival. Worth every penny!   Frank  P.S. next time i'm o...

Weel now is the time for some information. My Rubber spring bushings are pretty much gone and I need to replace them. I've ordered some at the local nissan dealer but they are on back order. I would like to replace them with anything that is avaliable on the market just so furhter damage won't be do...

Would like to hear from all those who retrofitted their patrols to 16" wheels from 15"s. Since the earlier models had 16" and the laters were fitted with 15" I've been thinking of putting 16" back on just to give it that old fashion look.   Did you have any problems?   benef...

I had the same thing happen to me when I got mine out of storage. Instead of taking off the cover I removed the detent bolts, they're the two bolts right above the lever shaft channels, and sprayed pentrating oil while gentling working the lever and then grease into. Watch out that you don't loose t...

Smiths station, right outside of Phenix city.

Just fitted the new sending unit. Sleeve and everything fit fine, worked so go found out my thermostat is shot. Part number I got though was different, my part number was NISSAN 25080-89900. Frank

Went to the nissan dealer and they ordered it right up, there also an aftermarkert one piece sending unit which does not have/use the threaded sleeve of the original. $4 dollars cheaper, but I went ahead with the older originals.

Just hedgeing my bets, lightning strikes alot around my house, and I ain't got no insulation. Love my patrol though, kids are fighting over who inherits it and I ain't close to dying. Amen.
