    Yes I have been regularly rotating tyres around but this time I also flipped the tyre on the rim.
    So white writing on on the inside now instead of outside.

    Fitted up some rated recovery points, I was wrapped, I didn't have to remove the alloy bar or anything, I had captive nuts on the passenger side and used the ones that hold the hook on the drivers side.

    After weeks of putting it off, I decided to hook my rear LED work light to the reverse light via a diode so it doesn't back feed to the reverse light when manually switched on via the switch on the centre console.
    Great to finally see where I'm going in reverse.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Cheers mate, I'm really happy with the outcome. I used a heat gun to stop the paint from cracking and just used a small shifter and slowly worked my way around.

    Completely rewired my radio setup in a bid to reduce engine noise on HF.

    * ran LL200 in place of the crappy RG58/U coax.
    * Moved the 2m/70cm antenna to the passenger side front bar, UHF CB is on the drivers side.
    * Still using the Alinco DR-635T for UHF CB and Backup 2m/70cm... I really need to replace this unit though.

    Testing a new HF setup:
    * removed the RODA Screw Driver as it sits far too high on the spare tyre bracket and isn't allowed on the front bar.

    Trialling new HF setup:
    * Installed an Optek multi-tap antenna on the rear wheel bracket for HF. (tuned for 20m/14.200MHz)
    * Installed LG-100 automatic antenna tuner on the Optek.
    * Re-ran earthing lines to the tyre bracket, tuner and radio. I really need to buy a few meters of earthing braid :/

    So far the results are promising.

    Waiting on a quote from ministry of the interior for a roof console to fit the radio heads in...
