More of a happy post, but had to re-quote this section.
I am happy to report that replacing my front wheel bearings got rid of 99% of the wobble / shimmy that I had around 85-90km/h range.
It is strange that old bearings were nice and tight. I've checked and re-checked multiple times. I had a mechanic check the tightness and there was no play and they were spot on. So I ticked that off from the beginning...
But oddly enough , even though the old ones were tight and not in a bad shape, for some reason still managed to give me the shakes.
It is so nice to drive on the freeway now. No more fear of being stuck behind some wanker who doesn't want to do 100. So i had to sit there doing 85-90, exactly the sweet spot for the shakes.

You must have known I was going to look at this this morning mate. I was wondering where that Patrolapart list was as I was going to use it.
I swapped my front wheels over 2 weeks ago, the wobble went away but has now come back. It still could be out of balance tyres as both sets of tyres are old. I'm going to check my bearing this morning & have a good look at all the rubbers and bushes & go from there.
Glad to hear your problem is fixed mate.

Indicator on my rear bar hasn't been working since I picked it up from being repaired. Brand new rear bar, all the rear repainted and they didn't bother to check all the lights worked.
Didn't think much of it until I plugged the trailer in today and none of the lights worked on that either. An hour of my time undoing yards of electrical tape to redo all their sh*tty work. I know I could have taken it back and had them fix it all.. But by the time I loose a day of my time running it to and from them I may as well just do it myself and do it right.
Where's everyone's pride in their work gone?

Fkn cars. This year I have had the following happen to me.
Patrol head cracked followed by injector pump failure.
Motorbike alternator failure... Yes it has an alternator.
Today the transmission went into angel gear on the LS1 I had planned on installing into above mentioned patrol.
I've cut my losses and put a deposit on a newerish ute. Originally what I planned on buying when the patrol first went but what ever.
Been massive waste of money this year on vehicles hopefully 2020 brings better luck.

Thanks mate, seems that way lol. Onwards and upwards I guess.
Ended up buying this. Looked pretty neat and no leaks etc when I had a good look over it.

things I've heard and read over the past week.
at end of a news report:
blah blah blah, because he wanted to leave something intangible behind ...
on an email from the ISP:
blah blah blah, we've planned some emergency scheduled maintenance ...
I'm sure that now you're not allowed to criticise anyone, say anything against anyone, everyone is equal, everyone gets a prize, no one is left behind, everything just ends being mediocre at best.
