It baffles me that they didn't just stand up more plants making the Essex. Fucking corporate politics.

I have no experience with that engine, but it can go in the scrap heap too.

It's better than the other V6s. Same bell as the 5.0. A little more beef throughout. Better aftermarket support.
None of the domestics do V6s well though.
Isn’t that the head gasket melting 3.8 piece of shit that was 3/4 of a 302?
flexing like a skateboard. haha. This thing is stock as a rock but it still drives some rude lines.
Seeing as I now post any Nissan jobs I'm tackling in this thread now, this one is a pretty cool job I'm doing for a friend that just got back from paint. Took a y61 4 door wagon and the rear wall from a single cab and joined them into an extra cab.

I am debating if QD32 or v8 swap mine... when the TB42s kicks the bucket.

So I finished off the chopped patrol for my mate. In the end I did the extra cab chop, rear long arm conversion, rock sliders, scrub bars and the custom tray. Came up pretty neat I think.
Currently putting together a rear bar for another friend. Shaping up pretty cool so far.

Looks good. Are you even allowed to carry such a large tire as a spare?Currently putting together a rear bar for another friend. Shaping up pretty cool so far.

I think it's just the lens. It's only a 37.
Cheers man. The idea was to get a couple 35" spares down low as possible and not hanging off the back of the canopy that this thing will get eventually. He'll be able to get other stuff like maxtrax and whatever in there too.
So I've been working on my hopefully one day EMC 4600 patrol build. Those rules mean I need to use 2 inch tube which sucks cos 1.75 is more than enough for one of these cars but meh, whatever. I've done a heap of these Patrol cages and always been able to weld the tops of the cage but just can't get in there with the bigger tube so had to send holes through the floor.

You post cool shit. 
thanks mateYou post cool shit.
Chipping away on the build. Got the rocksliders tacked up with the front roll cage tie in. Pretty happy that all the slider outriggers will tie into the cage.
So my mate was building a gold Patrol ute. We thought the bronze tray off my work ute would look good on there so it's his now. So now I'm knocking up another tray for my ute. SOmething a bit narrower and shorter so it's a bit more wheeling focused than work but still functional for work so it'll get drop sides down the track. Probably not in this first phase cos I've only got a couple days to get it daily driveable to start a new job. Today's drama was fixing the cab rack after I screwed up and over bent the last bend. It was probably somewhat retarded to think the camp cooker could get it hot enough hahaha. So went and borrowed a torch
Damn I like seeing the stuff you Aussie's get. Can we work out an exchange program to swap you GMT800's, F150's, and SUV's with AWD t-cases and no clearance for your cool shit?
We get horrible shit too. I think your good shit outweighs our good shit. We got some good japanese 4x4s with manual trans and diesel motors. We don't have junkyard one tonne axles and dirt cheap V8's...also no guns. The hoops we have to jump through just to get a hunting rifle...
How about we send clapped out tons with the bodies full of guns? We’ve got spares of both
