Working my way through glueing some rubber rectangle to my roof rack clamps. After @threedogs made the suggestion (thank you) I found this rubber at Bunnings and it fits perfectly.

Old one on the left, new one on the right.
I made a simple wooden jig that I just clamp it on to with some Sika 227.

The old girl finally shed a few needed Titan drawer GVM pounds!

Down to 1psi on coil bags now and scored a 1” lift :-)

Off to Calder Park Thunderdome tomorrow to see if we can smash a Dodge Demon :-)

Crikey, that extra 1” ladder lift makes easy access to betterer knock off quick brewski platforms :-)

Makes one wonder, how many new yuppies tree changing are telescopically ready for the hills top performances :-)

Well done good Mark !

I have long wanted to ditch those draws. 80ish kg of space wasted could be better utilised IMO.
I'm somewhat commited as my aux powerhouse is there with a shortened draw. Something I'd have to re-engineer somewhere else...

Don’t get me wrong Hodgey old mate, they are relatively tough and have served our needs for some 5++ cheap as chips paddock years for tools too in reality needs.
Our time for a proper family trip again and GVM legalities learnt here are of personal serious concern.
World’s gone a bit soft I agree by 1kg but our Mansfield boys know them iPaddy ropes in hand too good now :-)

Well after 13 years the GUIV finally had a front sway bar again!!!

Ghee it has made a difference. Corners are much flatter.



Thanks to @RustyNails for the links. Winner mate. They are perfect length with drop boxes.

Note for those playing along at home though, I had a spare set of radius arms that I fitted new bushes too a few months ago and just swapped them out. Well bugger me, they are GQ arms and a GQ runs a smaller sway bar and this meant the mounts where smaller too and the hole spacing was way smaller. Nothing a die grinder didn't fix, ground out the bracket to the limit and made them fit....Just.

Also finally fitted the secondary fuel filter and catch can. Had these for over a year and after a number of hours spent trying to place them under the bonnet I had given up. Today I finally worked out a way.















Nailed it! Very happy.

Lastly, spent a few hours trawling the manuals and Google trying to figure out a Tacho fault and engine light fault. Isolated the the Crank position sensor. This bloody thing!

Will call patrolapart and see if they sell second hand before blowing $300 damn it.

@MudRunnerTD,, hey Darren, interested in the details around the bonnet gas struts. Any chance of some pics of the mounts, maybe some mount dimensions and a model number on the gas strut? Now is the perfect time for me to do this whilst clearing all the cables. Anything would help to save some precious time. thanks

I'm hearing you all the way Marky! They're definitely the best bang for buck draws out there that are tough as nails.
But farkin' heavy. And that goes for most draw systems out there. I've never been a fan of it, tbh. I just threw a set in the GU cause I scored one for a carton.
I like the convenience. But constant GU weight bearing in the rear and losing out on so much room is a downfall.

These expedition tubs setups are starting to grow on me though.
