    front swivel and hub bearings + seals.
    replaced mismatched exhaust pipe sizes between mufflers with 2" 1/2 pipe.
    water pump, stock thermostat.
    reco radiator and flush system.
    14" thermo fan to replace smaller std one.

    Chrissy 12/13

    UHF now fitted and went off rd towing camp trailer.
    left Mon came back following Mon.
    Had a bloody fantastic time.
    1/2 hr out of Dungog, in state forest, Coachwood camp grounds.
    Plan to do it again soon.
    Mav went bush, nice rocky terrain nothing hard just tight quarters at times.
    Ended up at this water hole basically carved in stone.

    Must say very happy how well Mav holds its own off rd with a rd bias type tyre.

    Oh, forgot new holes in front bar are for some projector lights I have laying around have to get alloy brackets and covers welded in then fit up.
    h'duty 120 amp cable and auto reset-able fuse box for power out back.
    portable comp I got for chrissy. 100 psi 100% duty cycle mtr
    80 amp cable and fuse box under dash almost fitted.
    with that going to bypass std wiring for CD player, radio, elec brake etc

    Is that battery monitor for your main or aux? Stupid question, I am assuming you could hook it up to either?

    Never stupid.
    only main, suppose you could switch between 2 bats if you set it up that way.
    or make 2 kits and remote mt boards and use computer ribbon to run the Leds to the dash.
    it also monitors for over voltage, so if alternator over charging you can tell straight away.
    last Led is red = over voltage.
