What did you do to your Patrol today!

Would rather be doing that but next best thing is working on the Trol... so I fitted the roof racks today.

Which rack did you go with?

Currently packing it to go camping on the Murray, YAY!!!

Been a while!

Hope we’re feeling strong mate, no hydraulics on the river to get our cousins toys off again..... :-)

Probably should have said "bars" actually... went with the 3 Bar Nissan jobbies

$290 and 90 minutes including cuppa breaks and they were on...

Piece of masonite with a lovely floral print, all will be good. Use the special classy silver tape, even better.

Time to add remote central locking to the old GUrl mate. Then you can lock the keys in it.

First time in 20+ years old mate, must’ve been too relaxed :-) For sure would have locked the remote thingymebob in there too that night. Is that how they work, a keychain buzzer fob mate?
EDIT: Meant long time time since accidentally locking keys in a truck, must be slipping over the hill YO.
Collingwood supporters AM radio camping sour loss next to us encouraged a 4 door elecy lock-up via drivers key, forgot about the rear barn door close upon beer security before bedtime, with keys next to the fridge slide :-(

Fishing Lake Eucumbene last yr, up early rushing around to go out on water with mate in boat. Each had own vehicle, where is me keys? Looked all over up thru tussock to w/c, thru gear no joy (2hrs stressing). Wind was crap decided to lift boat get a lift home with mate, picked up spare keys and back in the trusty 2.4 lt nav ute with wife, gained entry and then headed back home (let her drive the GU), keep the peace (150 ks each way).

Spent mega bucks on new coded/remote key and got a couple of non coded key (entry only). Few days after getting new key, sorting out gear, shoved hand thru sleeve of Gore-Tex jacket (has pull in sleeve cuffs) and yep keys fell out on the ground (now 3 coded). Stuff.

Now, always when up bush or stressed, have a non coded key hanging around my neck and stays there. Coded keys in safe place (not in my pocket).

Installed the new HD rear lower control arms, and front and rear adj panhards today. Drivers side control arm took 4 hours to get out as the belly tank blocked the bolt extraction, so after jinking around, headed up to total Tools for a 5" angle grinder, and off came the head , then had to weld up a tool to extract the frozen bolt, so armed with that experience, attacked the pass side, which took all of 10 minutes to do. Hint though, use a ratchet strap to hold the diff housings together front to rear, or else they will roll out of alignment if the wheels are not chocked @MudRunnerTD came to the rescue on that issue, thanks darren.

Drove the car back into the garage, didn't notice a damn difference at all - seems like a total waste of time!!!!!

One thing of note that was different was the smooth action of the suspension, even on the short relocation. I installed all the pins using a teflon antiseize and the difference was there - far smoother.
