Thought id jump on here and put an update on as I've been doing little bits and pieces as i go.

I've done a few days trips around Powelltown and over the long weekend I hit up jerusalem creek ( Eildon) and did a few tracks

Here is what i've done so far

- New stereo
- New speakers
- Swapped over to LED interior lights
- Smashed side door flare off with a log ( Whoops)

Car is due to have a bit of TLC in the form of a service this weekend. Will be changing all fluids, spark plugs, filters etc

Also I have bought the following but yet to fit them.

285 75 R16 Mudstar tyres
OME 2 inch lift kit with steering damper and swaybar brackets
Dual front recovery points
Got some hose to extend the diff breathers

Hopefully get some of it done this weekend. I want to fit the lift kit before i get the tyres fitted

G’day Lucas,

Welcome aboard mate! I hope you enjoy your stay with this great forum and its members!

PS, sounds like you have a very special lady there mate!

Regards,

RLI

[Family4x4]

Welcome mate, this forum is a great source and full of friendly people.

[lucus30]

Ok I've put a dual battery system and battery box in the rear of the wagon for my fridge. I think that's the latest update.

Also I've noticed I'm getting a clunk in the driver's side while going over speed bumps just need to find it. Going to undo front sway bar soon and check them

[BigRAWesty]

Get someone to bounce the car via front bar while your under it..

Could be a few different things.
Body mounts, springs, radius arm bolts or sometimes panhard bolts.
Use a screw driver to touch metal objects like springs etc and you'll feel the Clunk threw it..

Thanks will do

[threedogs]

Could also be you are missing the top rubber hat off your coil springs,
mine is making a noise over speed humps as well and I'm going to fit
15mm coil spacers to the top, it will even out the ride a tad as well.

How hard is it too see them? Can you see them with the coils still in ?

[lucus30]

Well today I put on a alloy roof cage. Absolute chit of a job and the other day I put a UHF in also.

[lucus30]

Well I got a new (2nd hand) bullbar to fit this weekend thanks to sooty_10.

504305043150432


I've also done a few other things since the last update. I got some new Good Year Kevlar MTR tyres and rims, Fitted my ALDI awning and fitted a shoved holder to the roofrack

[TJCPATROL]

Welcome aboard and what a surprise. She's a keeper! The Patrol I'm talking about. Haha.

[lucus30]

Well I fitted it on the weekend, Just got to finish fitting my driving lights and get a winch now ha ha

Edit:Perhaps This should be moved to Members rides now rather than introductions

Also When I go to fit a winch the bar has a panel where it looks like the solenoid will go but how do you remove the panel itself?

[Stropp]

usually its cut most of the way, just cut the rest with angle grinder or hit it to get it out.

[lucus30]

Ok thanks will have a better look when the time comes

[Family4x4]

Loooking good.

[threedogs]

You may be able to remove your grill and drop the winch in from that angle.
Thats what they did with mine.

Edit;; being a factory bar I don't think it will be possible
as the OE bar sits very close to the body work

[Winnie]

Good hit with a hammer should knock it out.

Looks good man, like you said now all you need is the winch and a light bar.

And sliders, rear bar, lockers, turbo, superflex arms etc :-P

[sooty_10]

Looking good mate, it must not have been too hard to install it as it only took two beers.

Oh and I'd get it moved to member rides stops all the "welcome to the forum" crap when clearly you've been here longer then they have ;)

I also see you went the LED indicators in the bar, I need to get myself some of those one day. As already said that plate where the solenoid can go is as simple as giving it a whack with a solid hammer, it'll pop right out and never go back in (without welding). So decide if you want the solenoid there or somewhere else before you get the hammer out? I have mine there. The winch itself is easy enough to install, you just take the guard off underneath and push the winch up from the bottom.

The guard underneath? Guessing I'm missing that bit because I could lift up a winch from the bottom easy as nothing to stop it.

Yeah mate was easy as to mount the bar itself and is probably only a one beer job. It was very windy so the lights took a bit of soldering but overall was pretty easy, actually I wish everything was as easy on the patrol as mounting a bullbar.

[sooty_10]

Yeah there is a steel plate that goes on the bottom of the bar, I don't have mine on as the previous owner of the bar appears to have sheared off all the bolts for it. I'll grab a pic of it and post up here tomorrow.

Cheers mate. How Important is the steel plate? Do you think I could buy one or make one up?

[Semmo]

Welcome what a great present

[sooty_10]

Not too important mate, as I said I don't currently have it on. There is also a plastic guard as well. You could possibly make something up.

[sooty_10]

Oh and welcome to the forum.... ;)

[lucus30]

Smart ass ha ha

[TazManiac]

From one new member to another, welcome. Hope to get more involved myself.

I got a cordless drill for my birthday and haven't heard the end of it. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite you too. HAHA.

[lucus30]

Thanks mate. Might just get some sheet metal one day and bend it using the edge of the work bench. I should be able to get it good enough

All done Lucus...

Looks good mate,

Does the Air jack have a safety valve on it?

[lucus30]

Just had a look and appears that it does not

[threedogs]

you'll need a bracket to carry your tracks now lol

[lucus30]

Nah i think they will just get strapped to the roof racks

[lucus30]

Did some exploring around eildon today. Had lots of fun

[lucus30]

Well I've done a couple of things lately.

I've put a runva 11xp winch in with help from bacho86 and crate.

How'd you go with installing the controller? Where'd you end up mounting it?

[lucus30]

In the bullbar, I've still got to run wires for the in cab controls. Can do it together one day for both our cars if you want ?

[lucus30]

Replaced the whiney alternator and squeeling belts today

Nice and shiney

[lucus30]

Well prior to heading up to Walhalla I noticed my drivers side wheel bearing had too much play. On the way home it was making some funky noises so today I replaced it.

First time doing it and was easier than I thought. Even hung over I could do it

[jay see]

Well done Lucus, you'll find that most remove and refit jobs are pretty straight forward, the right tools help as well.
I find Google and YouTube to be get friends and then there is the worth of knowledge here.

[Lumbnuts]

Mate its looking good

They aren't directional tyres. They look like it but its the correct way for the tyres

[Winnie]

Don't you think they'd perform better if they are all pushing the mud to the outside of the tyre, and not dragging it in to the center of the tyre?

[lucus30]

The tyres are asymmetrical so the tread facing opposite ways on each side is correct and as it should be. There is no left and right in this case
Google them Good year kevlar MTR's you'll see there is a fair chunk of debate about it

Yeah you're right, strange hey. Obviously there is a reason for them doing it that way and I know nothing!

[Winnie]

Just thought about it, because the tread is not symetrical, they'd have to make left and right hand tyres. That's why haha

[lucus30]

Don't worry after the tyre shop fitted them I was wondering myself so had to check the google

Nice trip photos mate. I see you got yourself an Aussie Shepherd?

Just discussing sleeping options with the missus and having the dog come along.. Been thinking about a tent for when the pup comes. I can see that's your choice too?

Yeah mate tent for us, I'm yet to try him in the swag. He is a tri colour border collie though I do agree they look similar

[GQBIGRIG]

My bad mate, beautiful dog, its the tri color that threw me off!

Went up to Whitfield on the weekend and stayed at my wifes families vineyard. Did a few tracks around lake William Hovell.

Snorkel for sure. You will get way more use from a snorkel.

[jay see]

Are you looking at sliders or scrub bars that lead into steps.
I've got this to do at some stage, but not sure which way to go.
X2 on the snorkel. Definitely.

Stayed at my wife's family vineyard in Whitfield on the long weekend. Relaxed and checked a few vineyards on the Saturday and on the Sunday we did a Craig's hut trip starting from Lake William Hovell
It was a shame it was so foggy. I guess its just an excuse to go back in the better weather

Start of the day leaving vineyard we had a nice sunrise

Pretty easy. Lots of offroad but was easy. I had two stock pajeros and an FJ with us and they all had no issues. Even though it was easy they were still great tracks

It can do N/O contacts and N\C. I haven't got it to output from the Vdc input yet so dont think it does. But you just jumper it around from the power feed

Because of the low current I'm just using it to switch an automotive relay

Yeah nice pics. Been way too long between drinks for me. I have to wait a while longer unfortunately though. Why were you towing the FJ through the river?

Hey congrats on the bubs lucas, sorry didn't catch up with this back in Jan. She looks beaut mate!

And the camper looks good too! :thumbup:

Thanks mate. The camper was bought to accommodate her as I doubt she'd love sleeping in a swag with Mum and Dad.

Haha swags? What are they? Once in a camper with their comfort there's no going back unless strict boys weekend!

We shall see if that is indeed the case after the first trial run. I love sleeping in my swag more than sleeping in my bed at home

Nice! My first swag was a simple flap-over jobbie but then I decided to "upgrade" to a hooped swag. BIG mistake, bloody hated it. The simple old flap-over was so much warmer and comfier than the hooped one, especially in icy nights. Then I bought a rooftop clam shell and happy again, although still not as warm and cosy as the simple flap-over swag, but I take doonas and blankies now!

[Rossco]

Wow looks smicko lucus, nice 1 ☺. .
Yeah do love the swag too but camper is pretty comfy think you'll like this thing. .

Yeah not sure how you will manage it. I guess it's further than a stumble across the road.

About an hour for me I think

Did a few things today.

Fixed my spotties, Adjusted my tappets (shit job), new leads, new sparkplugs and rotor button
Realistic it wouldn't take that long if you didn't have to move a ton of stuff to get the rocker cover off.

Few more things to get sorted. Rear passenger side bumper bar is loose and light is hanging out so need to sort that out

I put a return spring on the back side of each bumper light and then pulled the spring back an hooked it some behind the light. Now the lights dont move.

I need to remove my driver seat and replace the seat cushion, which I've had for ages. Hopefully its an easy job.
