Replaced my steering damper, new shiny one in place, so that's sorted 😀 Went for a test drive, and a bit of belt noise, not a squeal, more of a whine that has a pitch increase with revs. Charge rate...
Changed my drive belts, greased all the grease points, did an underbody / loose bolt check, replaced my fan clutch (only 2 years old :-( grrr), rotated my wheels, and had the joy of finding that not...

Well touch wood, it just seems to have gone away. I'm wondering if a lump of mud / crud was stuck in there after the holland track.

On Friday, changed oils in my gearbox and transfer and both diffs, got the brakes serviced and the left wheel bearing adjusted. Funny I didn't even realise it was driving differently, but soooo much...
Removed the stupid honeycomb heater element from the rb30 carby spacer, lucky I did as I found a fuel line nearly split and the element had a couple of bits broken off already. I guess they've...

I would love to add pics, I've tried before off my iPad and it won't upload them??? My computer won't connect to the internet anymore, something wrong with it but it's old and I can't be arsed fixing...
Last couple of weeks, I have added a rhino rack awning, rhino roof tray, racks etc, a safari snorkel, and 50mm tough dog suspension lift, amazing the difference the new suspension makes!
Almost finished my rear door table, can't wait to use it, just need some nutserts for the trim clip holes, and some bolts to suit and it should be sorted.
Fitted my cargo barrier. Bought it Tuesday for $150, in almost perfect condition, fits spot on with just a little adjustment to the brackets, now I don't have to worry about things bouncing around...
Measured up so I know what size bits to buy for my barn door folding table I need to build
Finally fitted my rated recovery points to the front, passenger side was a bit of a pain, but glad it's done now also wired in my connectors for my UHF antenna lead so I can disconnect the bar from...
Just replaced my console lid latch, so it doesn't bounce anymore, and installed my cup holder in the front console, hooray, now my drinks will stay put! Can't overstate how much better that is!
