Yesterday and today:

Changed Oil and Filters, easy bit.
Also replaced the Serpentine Belt, Radiator Hoses and Coolant, bit more involved. All done with minimal cursing.
Thought it was about time...

I’ve got to do something otherwise I’ll have to sell the Patrol and van. Already selling the house to downsize.

Changed the Oil and all Filters, gearing up for an extended trip to SA (health permitting). Did a quick SA trip to catch up with family pre Xmas, now going to have a longer look around.

Plenty of knockoff Clearview copies on eBay, I bought a set for $249. Bolt straight on and plug straight into the wiring harness.
Great vision and don’t shudder when an oncoming BDouble passes you...

Mine grew six metres in about 12 years, all came as gifts in pots. If you want to remove them I finally found out how to kill them.
First couple I dug up and pulled out with the winch, bad move. ...

Washed it, still has red dirt coming out of the door weep holes. Great memories!

Finished cleaning it, off for a tyre rotation and wheel balance tomorrow.
Service later in the week and ready for the next adventure.

Ok Mark, so not suitable for the 3l CRD?

Not that cheap on the website unfortunatly.

Bargain, where from?

Actually had no issues, cleaned it up and put silicone on the top plate of the brace then loosely bolted in place using the bump stop bolts. Had room to place the nuts on top, started the thread and...

Installed the Boss Coil Tower Brace Kit, piece of cake installation. Less than an hour to do the lot, coil spring compressor and no need to undo shocks or sway bar.
Just about took me longer to...

Mark, while it's open install a Cabin Filter. Just did mine and amazed what a load of crap/dust/leaves were in there.
Quick vacuum and all good, here's the link and less than half the price of RYCO...

Drove it 688km, another 529km tomorrow to reach our destination. Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary.

Packed it ready for an early start for our Wombat State Forest and Lerderderg State Park trip tomorrow. Could be slippery and interesting.

A caravan, I must have missed something. Planning on comfort or an extended lap Macca?

Looks good Hodge, I'd love to do that with mine but the wife has trouble getting in now. She needs to grow a bit taller but to late for that.

Hush Hush, don't mention the Hilux :frown:
It wasn't there, we had a Mazda & 60 Series with us. By the way I told him to take the recovery points and that you would refund if they didn't fit, he...

About 35km from home, Mt Beckworth. Haven't been there for years and we basically had the place to ourselves.

Took it for a long overdue camping trip over the long weekend. Great time with extended family and even got to select 4WD (bonus).
...

First a Red Fire truck now a White Ambulance from the looks of it :hpfredgeorge1:

It's ok Macca,
I'll forgive you, I drove a pretty well modified 80 series for ten days in Broome recently (it was free).
Had a great time but oh how nice to get back into the Patrol when I...

Took it in to get the wheel alignment checked, still spot on after two years. Anyone looking for a wheel alignment or suspension fix in the Ballarat area I highly recommend Dale from 'Truline...

Finally got a bit of low range 4WDing done.
Went to the local 4WD open day, meetup with Cuppa and cgm. Did a couple of loops around the track and then tackled the two hour hard trip through the...

Geez hope it's not a dream, winner
