Ok all bearings changed. What an experience! Bit p1ssed off that whoever did the job before didn't do it properly. Found I was missing shims on the swivel hub bearings on the off side, missing thrust...

Thanks brother. Noise happens when in two wheel drive. I'll be out in the Brindies cutting dead wood this weekend so I'll engage both high and low range and see if it continues.

Thanks MudRunner.

Bearings have arrived so weekend after next the jobs on. One new issue. When reversing slowly with sterling on full lock I'm getting a strange noise from the front left of the...

Thanks to you all for the advice and offers of assistance if I run into difficulties. Much appreciated. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers

Hi all, I've been through some of the past posts but they really didn't help too much. May have had what the wife calls a 'boy look' but....

I'm about to replace all bearings in the front of the...

Agreed. A neighbour always used to park his fully kitted Patrol in his driveway. Came out one Sunday morning to find the bullbar with winch and roofrack had been removed during the night!

Some...

Another job to add to the list this weekend!

Concur - nice buy. Really interested to see your modifications - always looking for new ideas. Enjoy

Damn - just came across this thread. Guess I shouldn't be so nieve as to think having my plates showing wouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for the conversation - very informative and all noted.

Totally understand. The extra space in the back comes in handy for all the wife's"just in case" things. Just need to train her to keep her hand bag in the rear as well!

Thanks for the complement...

Already done 3Dogs - great minds think alike :-)

Tied down Westy. Ilooked at bolting it in but went with strapping it in to make things asier for myself when doing future interior work. Due to be hard-wired in.

She guards the beer and scotch very well! Sometimes too well :-)

I went with the canvass cover to keep the weight down and kept the hight down to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. ...

Hey Westy - the fridge is a 10.5L and no I haven't done a build thread as all the work was done prior to me joining up.

Still have work to do so will keep you all up to date if there's any...

That's the sort of info I was getting before trying it. I used Liqui Moly before and didn't experience any real difference to performance from the oils I was using prior to that. I guess time will...

Hopfully it won't come to that liftlid as I'm feeling as though time's getting away from me to have everything done before the June trip to Vic High Country

Hey Westy - I recently changed my gearbox and transfer box oils with Red Line gear oil. A bit expensive bit highly recommend the stuff. Has reduced the slight noise I was experiencing when driving...

Thanks for the confirmation - I'll look into this on the weekend when I'm servicing the hubs.

Bearing in mind the ute has done 206,000K I think I'll...

Hi - what year Patrol and engine are you driving?

If it's a 2002 4.2TD, I can recommend Cheaper Diesel Spares: http://cdsa.net.au/nissan-injectors/

$600 for the injectors with $20 deposit for...

Thanks for the advice Mo & Kev - Agree with what you say - simple stuff first.

Have to replace all bearings in both front wheels next so I'll check the mounts whlst I'm under.

Thanks mate - I'll keep looking into it. I just know a mechanic would love to charge like a wounded bull for a simple fix with me at this stage not being aware of what the cause actually is.

Hi Guys,
need your collective experience with this one.
When in low range first gear and idling down a steep track such as Billy Goat outside Dargo, my Y61 Gu 4.2 ITD kept popping out of gear,...

Morning Guys,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I'll upload some pics tonight and search the site for some advice on the popping out of gear problem I'm experiencing.

Thanks again.

Cheers
