FROM MILD TO WILD CREATIONS, HERE ARE A HANDFUL OF OUTRAGEOUSLY EPIC NAVARA AND PATROL CUSTOM BUILDS.

SIX OF THE BEST FETTLED NISSANS

WHILE it mightn’t be the sales giant it once was in the automotive space, Nissan has a successful history of bringing proven and popular 4x4 vehicles to market. For some owners, though, showroom-stock doesn’t quite cut it. Hence the reason to turn to the aftermarket industry and build a unique vehicle that tailors entirely to your needs.

With ‘PHAT-62’ on the cover of this issue and the impending release of the refreshed 2021 Navara, we opted to take a stroll down memory lane and bring you six of the best custom Nissan builds we’ve pointed the microscope at over the years.

From earth-shattering V8 transplants to clean chopped conversions, these fettled Nissans prove what’s possible with the right idea and the perfect execution.

We hope to see some more tickled Nissans next year, when the aftermarket gets to work on the updated 2021 model. Until then, here are some of the best Nissan builds gracing outback tracks.
