MODIFYING a 20 YEAR OLD 4wd for OVERLANDING! Interior replacement! Nissan Gu Patrol build #2 

Great to see you having a crack at most of the mods yourself. The awning looks unreal! I love how it doesn't need the legs

Kap industries make extinguisher brackets for the front seats 👍

HER car is looking good. :)

There’s an easy install to make the passenger side rear barn door open more. Alex from ‘intents’ has a video on it.

Tyler u can always install an emu wing to give u ease of access to the rear wen the doors r open n the tables down. use the left side so its under the 270 awning. they r water n dust proof wen installed properly. just a suggestion mate. keep up the DIYs mate, ur killin it.

CAP industries do custom brackets off the front seats for the GU’s.

I cannot find where you got your barndoor table are you able to put in a link for it please ?

Wish I knew about these centre consoles for the GU, looks smik

loving the build, those sheepskin covers may have not been good ones, good quality sheepskin covers are not scratchy, or hot.

"grab all ya bits out swing em round" hahaha good one

Dam that awning is small

A tip for your 270 Degree Awning, using 3-4 velcro straps, you can mount an adjustable pole on the arms of your awning. That way, you always have it handy when needed and it's neatly packed away when not.

I really like these longer videos you make :) You can easilly cut it into 3x10+ minutes to get more content/money but you dont do that :) I like it... this isn't content for these super short attention span kids :))

You’ll love the “Snow” switch on the auto. Makes the throttle much less sharp and great for low range Rocky work as well

GDay from W.A 📍🦘 Goodness👍 to see you’re Still Patrolling, on mine I’m learning about turbo vacuum sensors & daydreaming 💭 about a particular 3D printer, that would of $aveD me a bundle, instead of a Whole New Rad 💧 😢 🍻 🧭 31:20

Awesome mods you did, all made the car so much better. The table and center consol are 👌🏽

Legend, looks great. Can’t wait to see the new feet! 🇳🇿

take a look at the Fire Stryker fire extinguishers, think ARB are only dealer, they will work for 1 and half minutes not 8-10 secs like the "standard" one you have, which isn't much time to do anything. they are expensive, but will outlast powder units....highly recommended.

Well done. Lots of satisfaction written all over your face. Rigis really taking shape visually.

Cap industries for your fire extinguisher bracket bro. Should work perfect with your extinguisher you have. Mounts on passenger side seat rails. Check it out.

You can buy a bracket specially designed for your 4wd model that users your front seat bolts to fix a fire extinguisher to I have one in my D23

@Tyler - what was the weight of the old console? You mentioned the weight of the new one but i missed the weight of what you removed.

kap industries make custom fire extinguisher brakets about $55

Look into the maxtrac floor Mats, I’m not sure if they have gu patrol but happy with mine for my car

Fire extinguisher can be mounted to the passenger seat front bolts the bracket is available somewhere. And is an easy reach for driver or front passenger

Neoprene covers suck, had some for a few years and they make you sweaty af. Good quality canvas all the way.

Love Tyler's videos but those prices 😳 so overpriced for what they are especially the center console! And i hope those tyre pressure caps are anti-theft

Hi Tyler. With the tyre monitor system you didn't mention if they had lock nuts as i have used a couple of brands and they have the lock nuts So did yours have them as its a pain when off road to remove them ?

Great video.

“Giving it a crack” good job mate 😂that’s us 💪🏽

hey mate where did u get the thing on top of your roof to deflect the air above your roof rack.. it's sick I want one 😍

It's a shame the Horizon centre console is so ugly! A heavy sheet metal box that doesn't match anything in the interior.

Rubber home front door mats for floor mats from Bunnings have a look bud . Fit mine great

Tyler you didn’t tell us how much the standard console weighed

I love the Drift awning and I'm not a fan of awnings so its refreshing to see a good review and description of it. The problem is that while it can be done with one person which is great, I have lots of issues so guess I can't do it 😆.

hi tyler i purchase an ex government car and they place fire extinguishers is in front of the passengers on floor as you place and does not get in the for them and easily in reach for you

Loving the Patrol build! Can't wait to see you wheel it on some harder tracks, so capable

I would look at Bedrook liners for the floor. They are made specific for each vehicle and fit perfectly.

hey mate Kap Industries make a bracket for the gu

The standard seat fabric is actually pretty good. I mean they look good for a Patrol or most Nissan’s for that fact as Nissan usually style the interior with over 65’s in mind. Interior styling was never Nissan’s strong point unfortunately. The std fabric seats in that Patrol looked good.

At the front passenger seat front there is a bracket U can get

Use a hair dryer or heat gun to remove the stick shift

Good clip bud 👍 the other thing that are great with dash mats is they MASSIVELY cut down that vinyl haze on your windscreen - that fog like haze from the gasses coming out of the vinyl on the dashboard when they get got and it sticks to your windscreen like fog and forever needs cleaning off. I always put a dash mat in, people say looks like an old mans car but I don’t care, it’s practical and that’s all that matters 😉👍 the MSA dash organisers are great too, picked up a brand new one on FB marketplace for $20 😁👍 thanks for sharing bud.

Are you going to instal an idrive?

Have you thought about fake grass as your floor mat for car?

Hey Tyler. I had screw on tyre monitoring system, different brand, but same idea. Travelling around OZ they rubbed up against the rims and really cut into them. Eventually got rid of them. Check to see if/how they’ll rub when you’re travelling at speed. Thinks it’s the inertia pulling the extra weight on the valve stem out towards the rim ✌️

I love the bloooopppeerrrs haha

I understand the practicality of a dash mat but damn I hate them. Fire extinguisher installation probably somewhere around the front passenger seat. Nice added touches overall.

Where did u order them from

Hi Tyler, can you provide a link to the mob that supplied the rear barn door table? I'm Having trouble locating them.

Amazing!!! You are a clever bugger. With I little tinkering & then a whole new looking interior. I never believe anything takes 5mins. I allow an hour then take 2 hrs haha. Truely like the awning. I’d have one,…if I had a 4WD 🚙 cheers 🐨

Hi mate - I bought the exact same vehicle a year ago, I bought Sand grabber mats, and the department of interior roof console - can highly recommend both.

Just under the driver's knees it's the easiest way and the quickest spot to grab it. Second comes the back of your central console, IMHO.

Best place I found for the Fire Extinguisher's is on the floor just infront of the front seats. I have a pair of 1KG dry-chems sitting in brackets there, no issues with them and very easy to access when needed.

Bro from the black nav to white, now a GU , really love your channel , hopefully we wheel together One day ,

hahahah THE CUP HOLDER!!! every time I get in the car... what a legend.

Gees, dude, you've just advertised whole lot, i loved this central console replacement, will do same for my 4.8!

Did you end up selling the Nav? It was a good workhorse, certainly showed that Nav’s with some $$$ spent on them, are just as capable as other 4wd’s in their vehicle class.

I fabricated a bracket for my fire extinguisher in my Pajero, from a piece of sheet metal from Bunnings, and attached it to the front two mounting bolts of the passenger seat.

I really want one of those awnings but I think it probably costs more than my old Jeep :/

Fire extinguisher u can get mounts that blot to the passenger seat rail. Mats u can get something like sand grabber. Hope it helps

Looking sweet mate. You’ll be forgetting you own a Nav once you have finished that build!

Hey mate are you able to throw up the link for the barn door table,nothing is coming up online.

Great one mate 👍

Mount the fire extinguisher on the left hand floor below front passenger seat bracket. And as you open your drifter zip bag flip it over on the roof and the arms will come out easier.

I was just about to say "too bad you got the drifta owning, the howling moon is much better" but then you said it's 16kg, and I remember the howling moon being much more than that! cool mods. Same with the tyre pressure, they run for 40bucks on ebay they're literally the same, it's all made in china anyway. Cool barndoor table. I can't wait to see all the rest of the mods. Thanks for putting all these videos together! Much appreciated!

Hi Tyler, use Quick fist rubber mounts for your fire extinguisher.very good product’s.

Looking good 👍🏼

I have a kao stand alone rear roof shelf for my gu. Thing is fantastic, also is a great spot to mount the fire extinguisher on the back. Easy to get to and can't get covered with anything.

just barn door back table costed me diy $60 from bunnings )) same as functional and served me 5 yrs so far and counting)) well done mate on mods!

Looking good mate. I think if you spray painted the plastic surround trim where gear lever is to match, it'll be shmick.

One of the best mods I did for my GU3 was the Horizontal Touring Products rear battery shelf / box

Fire extinguisher just in front of passenger seat, I tek screwed straight into my hilux.

Looking good. Incidentally, you must be the only 4WD RU-vidr with a 7-seater wagon who actually intends to leave all 7 seats in it.

KAP brackets do awesome extinguisher brackets.

Hey Tyler, great video, was wondering which brackets you used from front runner for the awning and did they need to be modified at all to fit?

Dash mats are fabulous idea. Plastic modern dash’s emit a chemical that makes the windscreen look foggy and is a mongrel to keep clean.

It’s coming along great TT and each mod I can look as for my GU too Center consol looks great might be my next one I thinks

Looking sweet mate looking forward to seeing more for sure 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"Get your bits out and start swinging it around", lol, thats awesome...

Seat covers would have to be the single worst thing to fit in any car. At least 4wd’s have a bit more room in the cabin.

interesting

You can get brackets to mount the extinguisher to the front bolts of you passenger seat, easily accessible for driver and passenger

good work mate have fun doing your mods mate you learn about thimgs when you do it yourself i have a np 300 to mate got some mods coming up soon hope to go to fraser island late next year keep up the good work on the vids an the gu love watching your shows

Just a thought I think how you mounted the trax on the roof rack you should use bolts with full thread to the head of the bolt 🔩 so when you go to use all at once on a hill or bog hole the bolts won't slide around in the rails of the rack.....chuck a washer and nut there and lock them in the 1 spot...👌

Cool video! Thanks for sharing prices as well!

Nice Tyler Another great video stay safe Cheers

Kaon do a drivers seat fire extinguisher bracket, worth a look at their website 👍

Why dont you just spray paint the centre console front section with black so it match the colour with the seat and rear section of that console..since you already took it apart...

i went with kapp industries fire extinguisher bracket can bolt into passenger or drivers seat!

Glad to see it all coming together mate.And that you are doing it your self.Under your old man’s guidance lol.

Another great video mate. Have a look at the Bedrock floor mats they are awsome vehicle specific mats.

Hey team,great vid.Thanks..😎

Coming along nicely mate. Cheers Steve

For your fire extinguisher. Mount it on the floor of the front passenger. Easy to reach and some brackets bolt up to the seat rails

I recommend you purchase and fit lsd diff shims. You'll need a dial indicator though to measure the backlash. If you load it heavy on trips, heavy duty rear swaybar really helped both on road and offroad predictability.

Great work mate giving it a go yourself and showing other people how to do it and not lol

Have a look at the “Bedrock” floor mats. Unreal quality and easy to clean

Center console upgrade looks great. Wish i had thought of that when i had mine haha

Great video again. I have the same tyre pressure monitor on my Patrol. I was told to use the lock nut as they can loosen. They have been fantastic though.
