Crowd was waiting for a sacrifice, and it got one.

Lost City is high on the to do list. Thanks for the pics and the inspiration! Nice looking wagon you got there.
Glad to be able to give back for a change mate.
I considered sandwiching the bracket but I think I would have still needed to open up the hole spacing on the brackets (more work), and then the...
I reckon so, but you may want to consider an additional bracket to support the extra weight. I was really hanging off the screws and as you can see, they're so tight that the bottom of the hose clamp...
I put an order in with Patrolapart last week and had it the next day! Very happy with the service and it saved me over $120 on the same part from the local Nissan dealer :D Will shop again.
I'm happy to report that I used the Patrol in anger (ie 4wd and off road) for the first time last weekend. Got away for some camping with the family and managed to try out the new Oztent RV5 and to...
This got fitted last week! :D

Do i notice much difference? Not really.
Do i think it was worth $1700 fitted? Not really. Hard to tell before and after with the chip. The exhaust was...
Here's the solution a mate at work came up with - stainless steel cable clamps! :D Worked a treat and was able to have the awning sitting just over the doors, which also provides some weather...
PRO!
Nice work mate.

If tube thickness is your deciding factor, then yes. Build quality (welding, paint/coating, screw holes, thread tapping etc) and mounting hardware may not compare so well to an ARB product. As you...
I finally got my ARB Touring Awning this afternoon with a Rhino Rack Foxwing Bracket Kit for ARB. Was all set to put it on and couldnt figure out why the supplied U Bolts wouldnt fit over my lower...
Cool stuff. I see these often just off the coast near Newcastle. Where did you see these mate? Looks coastal as well

Gday IronVoid, I just completed a gauge install incl dimmers. All the info and a circuit diagram is in my build thread (check signature block for a link). Cheers and good luck with your install.
Ahhh.. gotcha. Sorry mate, I misunderstood what you said.
I completed my first servicing on a Patrol yesterday afternoon! :icon_victory:
I had a diesel Hilux 20 years ago and had a hell of a time changing the fuel filter on that. Even the NRMA guy...
Thanks for the kind words mate, appreciate it :)
RE: the battery gauges, I've already got a couple of digital units sitting on the centre column. Previous owner (Rocket55) did the hard work on...
Big weekend of Patrol work. Gota say that i'm feeling pretty stoked that I managed to accomplish these jobs - especially when several of them were considerably out of my comfort zone.
The Gauges ...
Had the 2.75" Beaudesert exhaust fitted yesterday. Stoked! It's the first of the major engine mods that are planned. I got the high flow cat with mine and it certainly sounds throaty. The installers,...

Seems like slow progress, but I took my time today and kept on chipping away.
Today's mission was to wire into the 2A fuse holder onto an ignition power line and tidy up the power loom. Would have...
Thanks mate. :) I've only trial fitted the gauges into the pod. One was a tight interference fit and needed some manipulation to get in (but it stayed there when fitted), the other was loose and...
Thanks heaps mate :D It's not without the pucker factor i assure you lol.
