"Crew Cav", is an ultimate touring rig and the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. This 2003 Nissan Patrol coil cab ute has been modified to seat six adults, a one ton payload and a FOPS (fall over protection system) in the Multicab.
Creative Conversions and Phil increased the chassis strength by
extended the chassis and tail shaft 350mm. The rear axle has been
upgraded to the biggest, strongest H260 diff ever made for a Patrol. All
four coils have been replaced with a full manual control 'Airbag Man'
Firestone airbag suspension for
an increase of 50mm ride height and increase the pay GVM to 4180kg.
That is 150kg less payload then a six wheeler conversion.
