04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I fitted light bar to back of car and put my winch back on... have not hooked it up yet as I am putting the solenoid under the bonnet and finally found a spot I can fit the bugger!!!!!!
Successfully fitted a UHF radio to the Patrol & yes I did power it directly from the battery, with an aditional fuse close to the battery terminal. Got it all in, battery reconnected, went to switch it on for the first time .....nothing! A tad disheartening to say the least! several pokes to the/on of button ....still nothing. Eventually, & before pulling the whole thing out again, I discovered by accident that on off is not just a simple click, but rather the button has to be held on for a second or two......phew! Even though I was parked inside a corrugated iron shed with the bonnet up blocking the antenna from the only open side of the shed I got a truckie talking to his mate about a load he's picking up tomorrow in my ear (Also fitted an extension speaker to the top of the plastic seatbelt cover just inches from my right ear). I thought that was pretty good seeings I'm also 30kms from the nearest town/highway.
