    Picked up the GQ after three weeks and nearly five grand but on the plus side the power going up Taminick gap was amazing , now to start organising for the trip.

    Added a set of rear draws today (4wd centre). Now the old girl looks as flash as a rat with a gold tooth. Just adding my old 12 stack cd player and a couple odds and ends as I find them in the shed. New tyres next month.

    Went to Repco yesterday and dropped a few hundred on Penrite products (35% off sale). Today I changed the engine oil (and filter) and realised that it was the first time I had done my own oil change since I had a VB Commodore in 1991!! I also did the rear diff oil as well and I was pretty happy that I managed both with only one drop of oil falling on the cardboard I was using!!

    Supercheap had a sale yesterday and I scored a new Century Deep Cycle (102 Ah) battery. This was because I wasn't really happy with the performance of the existing one which was running out in 10 hours or so when the fridge was running. I checked the levels on it yesterday and couldn't even see any fluid - only the exposed lead plates!! Pretty sure that once they are exposed to air they will never perform the same and so I decided to replace it and will see how it goes now with the fridge!! I also got a new Century Overlander starter battery on order as I figured that it was 5 years old too and probably could do with being replaced too!!

    Also changed out the air filter with another Ryco (same model) and was surprised at how much crap was in there. Heaps of dust/dirt and quite a few bugs (including a pretty big dragonfly) - will be interesting to see if she breathes a bit easier tomorrow.

    It was good getting my hands dirty on something other than bikes!! Still have the front diff, transfer case, gearbox, and brake lines to do and I also scored 4 x Kenworth speakers that I need to get around to putting in (will look at replacing head unit later too).

    Giving my ute a 'shakedown' ready for my beach camping/fishing for the next few days.
    Should have been fishing and visiting AVO a week ago, but I was scheduled to do a course, but it was canned. Not happy, but moved on. lol.

    You might recall @MB's issue with condensation turning to ice in his diff lock lines on a winters trip last year. I think thats been sorted now with an in-line air/water separator, however i am trialling a couple of these units - they screw directly into the discharge port of the ARB difflock valve - need a reducing nipple from 1/4 - 1/8" bsp, they have a small collection bowl and what looks like a standard tyre valve for the vapour release. I will see how they perform this coming weekend as expect the lockers to get a workout. The standard ARB fitting then screws into the discharge side of the the filter.

    How much oil do you collect from the Provent? I used to get about 125ml every 5k in my old ZD30.
