Relearn your beach/touring runs too Rossco Mate!
Waffling on here....but....you’re lucky to be running 150rwkw to keep in HR 4WD on say shell grity runs to the mouth of the Mighty Murray :-)
Get ready to be running 4th/5th overdrive LR in the gnarlier grit for momentum to keep your EGT’s & TD42Ti water temps down

As long as the wheels are turning super slow and I am off the brakes, happy days but it's been 25 yrs since travelling that track so take your word for it - is that where you reduced the volume of your fuel tank?

Worst thing we can do is change our gear minds half way up or down and hit ‘Angel Gear’ (NO GEAR) and away we ALL go with horrific momentum consequences :-(

Ah, reminds me of a usual bush drive 40 series LC style. . . Ah good times many a times that thing tried to kill me. .

Transfer case out, all went pretty smoothly really. .

Made a makeshift transmission jack with a quick crude frame drilled & taped to the trolley jack and worked a treat. .



Just need to work out the 5th gear. Looks as if need to support the gearbox and remove crossmember and rear housing on gearbox, then hopefully doesn't get too fiddly. . Can see a bit of a high tide mark probably from bloody Balfour swamp but apart from that everything else looking pretty good.

Plenty of pics pls @Rossco. Happy to get the context also of you doing this at ground level, although I reckon when the time comes for me to do the 5th gear upgrade I will get a shop to do it, maybe.

Rossco I remember a while ago us trying to sort out a speed correction for the GQs. I actually just check with Patrolapart and got this response from Aaron. I got quoted $75 for the part needed, part number 3270331G16 for a 16 tooth.

"As for the speedo, you can change the gear on the end of the speedo drive in the transfer case.
Just slip yours out, count the teeth, then buy the tooth count that will change it approx. 20% which should be 2 teeth different to what you have."
