Hi just a quick question, are Mk and Mq chassies identical? I have a bull bar from an mk for sale on ebay, and I have listed it fitting Mq's as well, (as I was under the impression they would) Had a guy come around to look at it for his mq but says where it bolts (the chassie) looks to be a different width?

I have tried to search, but I am useless :D

I found this http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=344 pretty much saying that almost identical except a few finer touches, head lights some interior etc,

any helps good

Thanks

Dean

exact same chassis :armsup:

the bullbar mounts are the same from MQ to MK be it SWB , LWB, or the ute body.


differances are at the rear end of the chassis.... a towbar from a ute for example will only fit a ute and wont fit the swb chassis .... wont even come close !
:roll:

cool, save me 2 seconds of work and another 10 mins on here.

intresting though. I got a tradesman tray supposedly off a gq ute and it looks like its a straight bolt in to my mq ute.

will find out in a few weeks once shes all painted and bling again.

Now ya getting tech.......

Gq's are a differant width at the front of the chassis to the MQ/MK, so a bullbar from a GQ WONT fit an MQ and vice versa

want more confusion ???? :? bloody nissan ;)
