Went from the standard 31's to 33's in the tyre department a while back and it's so much nicer on road and off .. only issue is, she aint that great on the old hills any more (and that's without a...

I had the wobbles pretty bad and uneven tyre wear (outer edges). All mechanicals were fine ... had Tru Track in Bunbury W.A. throw in an offset bearing and it runs straight and true no matter what...
| also noted better fuel economy (i thought that around 10l per 100 was good), but now its around 8. Nothing else has been done (not even the service) between when the valves were installed and when...
Haha i bet it did. One psi higher on mine was an amazing difference .. she would only get to 14 psi prior to the vlaves going in. Im fine with that as its a long term vehicle for me and the missus
Hi all, just a quick note to tell you I have finally got around to having the Dawes and Needle valves fitted. Have kept stock boost level (15psi) which my stock patrol would only ever reach 14 no...
These are dedicated Auto electrics who both deal with redarc products .. they are both fully qualified and are not just the "installers" .. had enough of those clowns at the local Ironman dealership...
well bugger me ... I trolled for ages to try and find this out ... mind you .. I cant find anything on a shop shelf or in the cupboard either .. thanks for that :-)
haha .. oh how i wish :-)
well visited a local plastic supply shop who actually found a tiny torn off corner of a sheet of teflon that is perfect .. managed to punch 4 washers out of it .. so now ...

I don't often sing the praises of good service (I probably should do it more often), but for local businesses who DO give quality work, service and customer satisfaction, we should do it more often...
Yep that's it ... I gotta just say, after being totally screwed over by a Bunbury 4wd business, I had excellent service and most of all, I have NO wobbles, she steers straight and true .. fantastic...
Just an update .. had adjustable sway bar links fitted today ... unbelievable difference. At last a wagon that is a joy to drive
Well after a bit of a drama finding somebody reliable, my Y61 now handles like a dream ... offset bearings and shims played with and I can tell you she is a joy to drive now. No pulling, no wobble,...
Well after a good deal of research .. Southwest Mechanical & Offroad ... Bunbury ...
No no .. none of that .. i can only go by what i read on forums and then suggest to a mechanic ... as i said .. im not aware of any patrol knowledgeable ones in my area
One of the reasons I'm doing this so early (72000 km's) is that the car was owned by W.A. Police Forensics. It was loaded up all the time and as a result the springs had sagged very badly (hence...
I got the Ironman tradesmans rack made of steel ... quite heavy and does make the wagon roll a bit more around corners .. you do notice it ... if I had the money at the time I think I would have gone...
well that was a fun exercise ... you need to be a double jointed octopus to do that .. even the Mrs couldn't get her hand down into that area ... ended up with a 3 foot piece of black poly from the...
had this with a 2013 3.0 .. the coils had sagged along with not having an adjustable drag link for proper alignment. It was chewing out the front tyres as a result and giving the wobbles at 80 kph....
ok i have found some 12v fob style remote on/off switches ... so .... hard mount compressor somewhere in rear. Hard wire to starter battery with appropriate fuses/cables. Plumb airlines to front and...
hmmm ideas ideas :-)
2.4 amp usb charger bought, fitted and now charging :-)
mines the usb type that plugs into a cig lighter socket on the patrol. It charges fine if your not using your display. Actually the samsung S8 charges to 100% even if your using navigation. But the...
just had a look at both of mine. Even thought it is stamped 2.4 amp, the fine print says nominal charge 1.0 amp ?????? WTF does that mean .. it's a single usb charger .. there's the problem
