Fitted another work/reverse/camping light because two are better than one

Cheers

Went to NADS meet this morning and in the afternoon fitted one of these .....

Cheers

Changed glow plugs, number 1 and number 2 OK, no 3 tip burned off and number 4 partially melted tip. Easy job than decided that I could make an effort to remove inlet manifold to clean it up. Big mistake! Car is in bits, mess everywhere and me not happy.

I worked on my quad bike today, did a similar thing.. took to much of it apart.. now its in bits.

Refitted inlet manifold and rest of the crap back, what a biatch job, never again.......

At least its all clean and hopefully stays clean after appropriate precautions were taken.

Finally got around to finish this -->

So, you have built in a way to put two wheels up on a gutter, and still have a level table! Nice idea.

How did you secure the strap to the door?

I have re-drilled existing holes for top plastic trim and inserted 6 mm rivnuts than used bolts from truck dashboard panels but one can use any bolts really advantage of these ones was that they have slightly bigger shank half way length and also really wide head(like a mushroom/umbrella shaped).

Looks good mate. The table will be used heaps. It's the best mod I have done I reckon. I put my new/2nd hand bullbar on today.

Changed the oil and filter in the ute...............Again. Fitted the 200w solar panel to the wifes wagon and ordered 2 new tyres (265 75 16) Geolandars for the ute. I got 100k out of the last set on the wagon, this set look good for the same Ks

Changed oil and filter readying for Finke desert race and Simmo trip.

Cheers

Just added the roof rack and front bonnet protector.

Just got the ARB deluxe bar, winch capable today and the Kaymar rear protection with 2 x Jerry and 1 x wheel. Safari snorkel on order and got the Kaymar high jack holder coming as well. Also buying today the hi jack and premium recovery kit bag. So to date the extras have cost me $9000. Will post pics when I pick her up

Took it up to ourimbah state Forrest with the wife and daughter today... Don't know my away around thou so stuck to the main dirt roads. I think I need someone who knows the area to go with.

can i install 2005 headlights and grill on my 1998 Patrol without alterations and paint job

Just bought a GU3 2004 Zd30 hand grenade, where do I start with the NADS? Has had nothing done, Had a wicked gq 3.0 litre petrol awesome beast shouldnt have sold it, the ball and chain was whingeing about getting in after the 2 inch lift kit was fitted "she is not tall".bought a Ford Ranger dual cab 4x4, what a shitbox ,fuel guts, bouncy bastard thing . Glad to get back in a proper limo like the patrol.

Fixed non working RH bumper brake light . Socket all rusty..

Fitted sensors to compliment reversing camera.

Fit catch can first, than EGT and boost gauge followed by Dawes, Needle Valve and EGR shim and rest of the mods. Than check glow plugs, fit timer for it and than JDVM.

It will transform the car,

Cheers

Reloaded firmware in the ECUTalk LCD display unit so now have "fuel temperature" to worry about.....

I love that unit; audible warnings ability have saved ZD30 a few times (coolant temp, RPMs) speed and odo can be calibrated correctly, DTCs read out on the fly,

Cheers

Fitted oil catch can , cleaned MAF sensor and replaced air filter..

Fitted HPD high flow MAF housing.  Need to retune JDVM now looks like a time consuming trial and error setup or I need access to dyno and diesel chip as well.

 

Cheers
