[MEGOMONSTER]

[Clunk]

Great stuff mate.... Love the look of those seats

Tap Tap Tap with me hammer, saw saw saw with me saw......

[MEGOMONSTER]

the only problem is my height and the space i have in the driver seat.
no one want s to fix my problem cos of the airbags as I want the seat moved back slightly maybe 1-2 inches, any ideas

[nissannewby]

Yes i like those seats :) they look so good when they are new. We need some pics of you getting it dirty now :)

[Lewy]

Verry Nice!!!! Where did you get the seats from? Are your seats electric? Mine are and they don't go far enough back Ether :-(.. They build these great big 4wds but don't build them for taller people LOL

Lewy

[Parra]

holy dooley. those seats looks schmicko!

very nice looking patrol all round. gotta love freebies too!

[timbar]

looks good mate just need to find some mud to make it authentic now hahaha........cmon u know u want to hahahha

[Bigrig]

How hard would it be to fit those seats in a GQ?? Not that I want to pay full price as such, but if they simply slotted in, they look awesome!!

[Bigrig]

Top looking unit mate - yep, not sure what the Mitsubishi sign is doing on the floor in the first shot, but we'll forgive ya!! lol

[gowalkabout.com.au]

Nice looking set up. Love the seats. Ours is off to ARB in the morning to start its fit out but have to wait another week or 2 for the bar work to arrive. Top choice in colour

[growler2058]

Very very shiny mate look reeeeel nice with some mud spray ;-)

[MEGOMONSTER]

The bucket seats are custom built on the original non electric seats.
They were done at Alphaline auto (http://www.alphalineauto.com.au)

[MEGOMONSTER]

Top looking unit mate - yep, not sure what the Mitsubishi sign is doing on the floor in the first shot, but we'll forgive ya!! lol

That was left in the car by AlphalineAuto who did my seats but I never noticed it in the picture, the car is pictured in the Nissan dealership

[jackwalks]

Those seats look dead sexy,

Ahhhhh...............New Car Smell.......If only it came in a deoderant can!!!!

[rusty_nail]

nice and shiny mate! is very VERY gangster!!!

[Stropp]

top rig and the seats look great! could have done with some side bolsters sunday on the powerlines.

[Waka]

[MEGOMONSTER]

3" Taipan exhaust and DPChip has been booked in and I can't wait to see the difference it makes.
I really hope it's a big improvement

DP chip and Taipan exhaust getting fitted now, just waiting to pick it up.
Can't wait.
And I will be getting gauges fitted but that will be the next mod before lift kit

[MEGOMONSTER]

Surprisingly at the first drive I was not overwhelmed by extreme power. But throughout the night I started to realize how different the car actually was. Real easy exceleration at any rev range, seemed much smoother.
I can definitely feel the power increase now.
Fabulous note from the exhaust, I was worried that it would too droney inside the cab but is almost the same as it was, very impressed.
I now want to see the economy improvements.

Good stuff. If you were going to put a figure on the power / torque increase what would it be?

[nissannewby]

Will this not effect you warranty??

If its a piggy back system like most are these days its as simple as unplugging it and re-plugging the factory unit back in before heading back to nissan and they wont know any different. The good thing about these chips is tuneability if you get someone who has the software and knows what they are doing they should be able to make it even better than what you have now. It probably has a generic tune in it which will be better than stock but with a little tweaking can be much better.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Got some photos from ARB at lunchtime today.
Bar came off.

I reckon the ARB Deluxe bar is awesome. you will love it mate.

[BigRAWesty]

Just watch the folds and joins. There powder coat ain't what it use to be..

get a discount! its not gonna affect the structural integrity or the way it works is it?

[Stropp]

definately a discount, wont be long it will be scratched and you wont notice it anyway.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Spoke to ARB and ARB head office and they are offering shit.
I already get the full discount on everything I get so they can't move on the accessories. And ARB head office said they'll just send out a new one, clean it up, sand blasted, re powder coat it and put it back on the shelf.

[Winnie]

Honestly mate if it were me I would not worry about it, if you can get a discount then sweet, but as Stropp said, it will only get scratched etc... anyway.
But then again your car is a lot tidier than mine and less likely to be scratched and dinged!

[MEGOMONSTER]

I've decided to send it back.
I'll get nothing out of it.

[threedogs]

Might as well get them to fix it. not as if you are off the road because of it , is it ??

[Winnie]

Full recognition to the blokes fitting it for alerting you though, bloody good service if you ask me, most people would not bother. Which ARB is doing the work for you?

[MudRunnerTD]

Ask them for an ARB deflater and an ARB Jacket for your trouble. head Office will possible come at that Mick.

[threedogs]

Western ARB are doing the job,
Have to agree Winnie they could of said nothing.

[Lonicus]

X2 with Winnie, good on em.

[MEGOMONSTER]

[MEGOMONSTER]

The deflater they gave me plus the winch dampener and trade price on all items.

1500 for the bar.
450 for the wheel carrier
450 for the jerry can holder
400 for the barn door mechanism.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Found out this afternoon that ARB have no stock of the side steps that I need replacing under warranty.
Supposedly they are trying to find a set from one of there many stores.

[Winnie]

400 for the barn door mechanism.

That would be worth every dollar in my opinion, I didn't get a good look at how it works but saw it at a show and bloody brilliant, don't know why nobody had done it early!

I have noticed lately that my exhaust temps have been a little higher than normal lately, under normal driving conditions. Surely the tyres would have made the increase. Intercooler is dry, so I don't think it's that, although still could be.

Yeah bigger tyres will see it running a bit hotter, mine increases almost 50 deg with my muddies on.

What was the door table worth mate? I am going to build some drawers next week as i scored an ARB fridge slide dirt cheap. So i thought to door a door table too. But i want to do a metal one over wood, purely for ease of cleaning.

I paid $320 for the both sides in hammertone powder coat.

The only flaw is the table holder, I believe won't hold the table hard enough against the panel to stop it from rattling when going over bumps.
So I asked for it to be looked at whilst it's still at ARB. for a tighter, stronger hold.

Also, they're struggling with the catch can for space to fit it. But I think we have it sorted.
I find out tomorrow.

Thanks. I might just whip up a wooden table for now as we will be in qld in a week. As for the can, BA has mounted his on the rhs. Different car but it still works on that side.

Yeah. . . You'll end up switching it on every chance you get just for the fun of it Haha!! You'll get the feel for it pretty quick.
Should chuck a cap on the air outlet. They end up getting mud in it then the compressor will just run when you try to put locker in. . . Still need to do that to mine. . .

Looks awsome mego. Just out of interest is there any reason they coiled up the air line 4 the locker?

Is the compressor in the spot where the catch can would normally be installed?

I asked that question too, but I arrived after all the techs went home. So never got a real answer.
Salesman said for when they tee off for a rear locker.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Yes that's correct. Was difficult to have both in that position.
And I didn't want the compressor inside the Trol.

I have been trying to find a spot for a compressor but have the catch can in that spot, took me forever to getting around to fitting it so not likely to move it.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Either my winch motor or solenoid has shit itself.
I was testing the winch before leaving for Walhalla in the morning.
I winched out and stopped.
No in and no out.

i was doing some thinking after you called me Mick. Depends on how far you want to go with this now, but if you disconnect the leads from the solenoid to the winch motor and use jump leads from the battery and direct to the motor and the motor turns, then you know its the solenoid and the motor is o.k. if you put pos to pos and neg to neg the motor will turn one way, then go neg to pos and pos to neg on the motor and it will run opposite.
Low voltage supply can also be the issue like we discussed. But it could be just dirty contact in the solenoid. Not what you need the night before a day out hey...

We did one steep hill climb that looked quite difficult so I locked it in and made it up with ease.
But now I don't know if the climb was easier than I first thought or the locker made that much difference.

Yo Mick put some cable ties where the tube fits to the Dawes.
Then trim cable ties with a knife so you dont have a sharp edge.
also on the turbo accuactor thingy,
also cable tie the dawes itself to maybe the aircon pipe if it near by.

What style plug runs your fridge??
FYI if you un do the bottom of those seat belts they will fit
though the top plastic moulding and out of the way

The Patrol has a history of spitting out brake pads mate. I know of more than a couple that have some that. My GQ did it in the sand dunes of Beachport 15 years ago. I felt it go, lost the peddle then pumped it to get the pedal back. Once I got back to camp I inspected it and has lost a brake pad completely.
