GQ patrol owners- rear tower cracks

Another one is the spring mounts, they also die in the bottom, I have some photos at home of some really stuffed ones.

The towers I havent heard of, but worth knowing.

I have a GU cab/chassis that have polyairs fitted and while preparing for trip a few months back was devastated to find major cracking in the inner chassis channel where the rear of the spring tower is welded to it. I have an alternate back that I swap when travelling which allows an excellent oportunity to closely inspect this region. As the vehicle was only just 2 years old and only done 65000 k took it back to the Nissan dealer in Newcastle only to be told "sorry the vehicle has been overloaded"! Rather than stuff around and delay our departure I fixed the bl**dy thing myself. As it was we were delayed by a week but what made matters worse was 5th gear disappearing on the 2nd day out! Not a very happy chappy! Have just sent Nissan a 6 page letter (complete with photos) telling them what rubbish they make and how disgusting their after sales service is. On repairing the cracking inner chassis channel I noticed very poor welding holding the inner chassis rail to the thicker outer chassis rail. On mine this weld bead was very thin and convex and as a result had virtually no penetration on the inner channel. The weld parted which in turn placed excessive stress on the reinforcing tie running down the rear of the spring tunnel and under the chassis which of course failed. If any one wants the photos or a copy of the letter let me know.
