Curious, does anyone know whos patrol this is?

That Patrol belonged to JDM on Pirate4x4 once upon a time:

But the last I had heard, it was scrapped up in Pennsylvania after being rolled:

Pretty certain I remember reading an article saying the owner was killed or very badly injured... :think:

too bad it was a good looking patrol.
That's horrible about the previous owner.

I feel like an idiot for asking this but I have tried every wrench, socket and even a pipe wrench and nothing seems to work
I need to remove my steering colum and steering gear box.
THE NUT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING GEAR BOX, WHAT SIZE IS IT?
I think I need to just buy an impact socket to get it loose since nothing else seems to fit properly or work to loosen it.
