Watch this space, as there maybe a comment added soon
Completed the second rear seat frame, all painted, just stuck a layer of softish poly foam to add some cushioning, should do the trick.

I actually did something other than move it out of the garage for a change.
Replaced, oil, air & fuel filters & engine oil.
Cleaned out catch can and cleaned MAF.
Lubed up shock adjusters & cut my thumb.

Having fitted both a new headlight wiring harness & a LED lightbar I waited for a nice dark night, before the moon came up over the nearby hill to see what they were like. In short 'Incredible'. I suppose everyone here who has fitted a light bar or has a mate with one already knows how bright they are, but I had only seen videos of them in action. Last night was the night - very impressive. I did note too that my headlights are whiter & brighter, & whilst effective my old IPF driving lights are very yellow in comparison. The headlight aim was way off in both planes though, & the IPF's needed adjustment as I had previously had them pointing outward to illuminate the sides of the dirt road I used to live on, in order to be able to see the wombats , roos & deer. I am confident that the lightbar will take care of that function now, more importantly if/when we find ourselves driving rough & washed out outback tracks at night again, that I will now be able to see just what I'm driving on! Has to be a good thing!
The lightbar came with it's own wiring harness intended to connect in to a standard set up. Likewise the Pirahana Superloom was designed for much the same, & of course the Ex Telstra had already had work, adding Nissan branded relays for the IPF's. In the end it was fairly simple to work out what wires to use & not use. I have chosen to leave the switch for the lightbar under the bonnet for the time being. I used the existing IPF wiring, post Telstra relay, to trigger the lightbar's relay, & so I am using a single switch on the dash to turn both lightbar & IPF's on together when on high beam. This will be my 'Offroad' set up. For on road I just switch the lightbar off under the bonnet
Will go out for a drive tonight to check my aiming adjustments done undercover today using the huge sliding doors to aim at, surprisingly it was dark enough to see what I was doing.
There are a pair of H3 Philips 'White Vision Ultra' 55w globes in the post to fit in the IPF's when they arrive. They are advertised as the whitest halogens which are road legal, & +60% distance. I'm hoping they will be better than the very yellow Repco 100w +30 globes currently in them & give the alternator an easier time too.
Whilst the lightbar is super bright (Stedi 27.5" single row 3301) I was pleased that when switching to dip beam - just the headlights, that I could still see reasonably well & it isn't like momentary blindness.

We had to replace the power steering pump on the old 1995 GQ work ute :-(
I always assumed they were good for 30 years, not a measly 25 :-)
