Pushing some good numbers now the ZL30 Turbo and tune with an Alphatec module have been fitted.

Different beast to drive now, very happy with it! I think the best mod I’ve done is the transmission...

Just got the patrol (2016 CRD) back after a 4 week wait due to a hold up with parts. Had the full Fabwitz FMIC/Snorkel/Intake Pipework/Airbox fitted along with a destalled Torque converter/Heavy duty...

I noticed while testing it gets quite hot on the outside, a lot hotter than my small TB oven ever got, but it also gets a lot hotter inside than the small TB. I'll throw the temp gun on it when I go...

I installed my Big Bertha Oven on the cargo barrier. Should be able to do a nice roast in this sucker while driving to camp.

Not the best pics, the one from the rear is hard to distinguish from the rear diff bracing in the background.

She’ll be a fairly quick trip, a couple of nights at Murchison house station on the way up, then a night at Steep point Barge landing site, 4 nights on the island and a leisurely drive home! The wild...

Had some Outback accessories long range fuel tanks fitted. 80 litre sub and a 145 Litre main tank. 225 litres in total, should cover my fuel use for most trips. Heading off to Dirk Hartog Island next...

Pulled the radiator out and gave it a good clean, as I’ve noticed the temps creeping up on the hills. I also put in a TB48 Thermostat, which is a job I never want to do again!. Changed the Tensioner...

Finally got around to installing my Redarc towpro elite and a couple of Anderson’s on the rear bumper for trailer power and solar input. I knew there was a reason I’ve been putting it off, running...

No problem, only took me a day to get it! Which was a surprise.
I had the self serve permits for the rest of it via Heather hwy, as I originally wasn't going to do the abandoned section. I ended up...

I've got a trip on Monday out to do the Gunbarrel hwy including the abandoned section, so was going over the Patrol doing some pre-trip maintenance and noticed the factory cooler was leaking oil....

I've always had trouble engaging and disengaging the difflock in my 2106 CRD, so I thought I'd give the Mac solenoid mod a go. It has certainly improved it, but I still struggle to get it enagaged at...

We'll be heading from Perth across the Anne Beadell, then up to Old Andado and across the Madigan line, ending up at the Gold coast for a wedding. Then up to Fraser Island for 5 nights and back via...

I fitted my Glind heat exchanger and a Shurflo pump in the spot where the dual battery would normally go. (My dual battery is mounted in the back) I have the Glind plumbed up with a Thermostatic...

Gave it the first oil change of it's young life :) Made a mess of the concrete though!

Its only been a short drive home, but I could feel the extra grunt as soon as I left the driveway at UFI. I got home and took the missus for a spin, she couldn't believe the difference either. I also...

I already have a Manta 3" System and the Tillix boost controller/needle valve set-up so it's just the remap from UFI @ $1450.00. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I'll be getting the remap...

I booked it in with United Fuel Injection (UFI) over here in Perth for an ECU Remap. I need to extract some more ponies from this thing. :animierte-smilies-t

Had my standard safety thongs on, bugger getting out in it, that's the missus job. I only get out at the clearings ;)

This was from two solid days pushing out to Hanging Rock, in the Ruddall River National Park (Up Near Telfer WA) The track wasn't too bad when we could find it, just bloody overgrown to buggery as it...

Cleaned the spinifex from a recent trip from the radiator etc, 4hr bastard of a job.

I don't use any cig sockets, all mine are either the proper engel sockets which are a screw fit or they are anderson plugs. Never had anything come loose using either of these.

Yep, no problem with mine, makes it easy to set and maintain a constant temp.

I finished off installing the ARB compressor yesterday and made use of the wing space on the left hand side of the...

The pics are all upside down? Looking good though!

I kept plodding away finishing the rear storage off. Today I installed a couple of digital temp controllers for my engels. I use two engel eclipse 38 litre fridges that use the old style engel dial....
