    Well the last few weeks ive spent fitting barwork. What a mutha fuka that has been.

    The sliders where a pig to get back on. Heavy and very short bolts that didnt want to start. I had the make some adjustments to holes with the die grinder to get them on. Lets just say there where some dark days spent laying on my back.....









    So after finally getting the sliders i found the bolts used on my old bar where too short for the new rear bar bu 10mm! so had to buy more this week. They are a rate 14mm bolt. When i took on into the bolt bloke he looks at me and gave me a concerned look and walked away!!! Im thinking WTF?? That aint good!!! Rare and bloody dear!!! Nearly $10 EACH!!!





    So when fitting the rear bar it became clear that things had moved while welding off. I had tacked everything on the car bolted in postion. When i finish welded the tails on the sliders for the rear scrubbies they both creeped forward damn it so needed some clamping to bolt up. They where misaligned by 10mm. Both sides.





    Given how heavy things are and trouble with only having Naomi and Zach to help it was a slog. I was surprised then to find the bolts for the camburgs binding hard. Damn it 8 needed to run a tap down every thread which i didnt see coming at all.

    Then this happened!!! MUTHA FUKA!!!!!



    took some getting out and a mate dropped in at the right time and we for it out with some patience and motivation! Kinda smashed me though!!

    I had a spare tap so ran it into every other one. I was surprised how much cut was needed ro clean the threads. It was almost luke cutting s new one in every hole. No wonder i broke a tap.

    Advice to ALL - DONE BREAK A HARDENED TAP EVER!

    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.

    Looks like that tap is dry - no lubricant. Bit of a lesson there. Regardless of chasing out a thread or tapping a new one, always use lub as the task is very high friction at best. Those coulpings must be pretty hard as well I am guessing? How close to the threads are your welds as maybe they closed up a fraction from that?

    Anyway, mean set of rails darren, but don't ever call my barge heavy after seeing these!!!!
