What did you do to your Patrol today!

[threedogs]

Absolutely nothing. Not touching it coz it might be traded in the next few days. Not spending any time or maoney on it if im getting rid of it.

A GU John didn't you see that in her intro post

[threedogs]

Brought myself a universal GME stainless antenna mount, I have a feeling that no GU scoop is working
at 100% because of fitting a bull bar.
The uni mount will go on the top rail of the bull bar in the centre
onto which Im bolting a piece of perspex to guide the air onto the bonnet better.
As it is now it just goes over and down the grill, according to my cotton tell tails I blue tacked on.
Worth seeing if it makes a difference, we'll see.

If you lower the bulbar x 2'' it improves air flow ill show you next time we catch up

[Winnie]

That will decrease your approach angle by 2" as well though.

[Sir Roofy]

That will decrease your approach angle by 2" as well though.

Maybe depends on what bar you have mines ion man witch sits lower and take the plastic bonnet protector off
makes a difference

[threedogs]

I dont have a bonnet protector, IMO a waste of money, I have some clear MYLAR tape 60mm
Iron man must do a multi fit bar if you can adjust it 50mm. GU bars have about a 19mm to25mm gap
on the front guards to the bull bar to allow for body roll, apparently the rubber body blocks are very soft.
I'll try the perspex so far its cost me nothing, and if it works I'll look at a more permanent solution.
gotta work first lol

[Ian2011]

Absolutely nothing, haven't seen it for three months, Geez I miss it. Sorry dear, I miss you too.

[mudski]

Well. Took the dunga for a spin for 10 mintues. No leaks! The smell of coolant must have been left overs from the explosion. Still don't trust it though. Being a trust worthy ZD30 and all. I will be keeping a container by my side of Petrol and some matches to light a bon fire if it turns south on me.
I really need a shitter, other than the one I'm driving, as a daily so I can park it and do the mods that take more than a few hours to complete. I have many on the list and just can't get them done. Anyone got a daily I can buy, cheap of course....That'll make the missus happy.

Like to mount rear spotting, going to do some searching for how to get a wire up there, could use some old waterproof marine fittings I have but those will take a fair bit of time to route and mount.

Took Arthur out for a spin and no coolant leaks. Also dropped in at a mates workshop and got the engine light error removed too. wOOt! We're back on the road. Still taking tools and water with me though, just incase.

Finished wiring up my winch after having it sitting on the garage floor for months. All ready for the toolangi outing coming up.

[lucus30]

Sweet should be good fun. Seems nearly every one will have a winch at least, I think there is only one car without one

[threedogs]

Tipped in some Catrol T2 and some Wynnes injector cleaner,
picked up some cans of gloss black for the roof rack,
hopefully I can get some bodies around to lift it on.

So no idea what happened, thats spooky lol

[pedals]

Let the missus drive the "Dato" around on her day off ( aw christ! ) I guess she can't break it, can she ?

[mudski]

So no idea what happened, thats spooky lol

I have a theory/ idea of why?

A few days before I changed my air filter lid seal. And when this happened on the freeway, I noticed as soon as I popped the bonnet up the hose that runs from the top of the radiator to the top pressure tank on the LHS move. My only theory is that I had somehow folded or wedged this hose and blocked of the hose. There for not letting the radiator and cooling system relive the excess pressure to the top tank. The pressure was so great in the cooling system, the bottom hose clamp, which is the OEM spring loaded clamp type, opened up momentarily, the excess pressure was relieved( hence the coolant all through the LHS wheel arch) and then simply closed up again once the pressure was gone.

I was bloody lucky I didn't bust anything.

[lucus30]

If thats all it is mate you are very lucky. I guess no TD42 transplant after all

[threedogs]

I think you mentioned that when it first happened. Lucky it shut down in time

[threedogs]

My new[2nd hand] roof rack has now been modified, lights fitted
F&R and sprayed gloss black, as Matt black turned to shite very quickly,
and is ready to fit, Have a few coming over to lift it on this arvo, well thats the plan.
Taped some "U" shaped rubber for the feet to cushion the gutters.
As it came off a GU it should not need any adjustments, the wait is on lol

[gubigfish]

Wired up some reversing lights, can't wait for it to get dark so I can see how much light I have

[growler2058]

Replaced belt and tensioner pulley.
Belt looks fubar so another call to patrolapart tomorrow and order that
Tell ya what there was no way known that bastard was gunna be moved with a ring spanner to take the tension off

[MudRunnerTD]

Fitted up the 37s and fitted new brake pads to the back of the GQ!! Need to rethink the flares!! No where near it!! These Treps are huge!!!!

Yeah I need to find a millisecond to start this TD build...

This is one thing I do like about the ZD's. You lose water, it shuts down.

Installed the tweeters /piezio speaker about mid way up the Pillar moulding what a pitb job.
think I'll go to the speed shop and grab a can of spray paint to match the moulding.
Over all happy with the way it worked out, I'll put a pic after I spray them

Finally got around to fitting one of biggqwestys telescopic work lights. Will take some pictures tomorrow. I'd take some now but its bloody bright they'd turn out crap

[Hodge]

Got it very dirty as she was begging for it(pic is early in the day). And had my very first brown jocks experience in the patrol. It started absolutely pissing down half way down this track and very quickly changed the scenario for us... The car literally ski-ed down that 40-50m steep section. Low 1st, absolutely minimal control, managed to keep in on the track by gentle taps on the accelerator. That little step/ridge in the photo is what sort of stopped me and gave me a moments break before going down another 30m section. Taught me a lesson on how fast things can get ugly... From lots of traction and sunny, to super drenching and zero traction in a matter of minutes.
I have witnessed Toolangi clay first hand when wet , but I have never seen clay like this (mount dissapointment). I could not walk up or down it, had to use the bush to the sides, it was just super slippery! Time for a beer now, or 7...

Well finally got around to fitting my Dawes & needle Valve with EGR Block! ( I just hope I blocked it in the right place!! Going into intake manifold at top of engine? The easy bolts to get too?) Anyway extremely impressed with the result!! Max boost set to 15ish PSI & pulls quickly & super smooth!! Still abit of fine tweaking to do but that's a working progress!! So thank you all for all the posts I have read!! Mudski Chaz Yellow foot & everyone else!! Its like a totally different drive now!! Well happy!!

I had twin locker at the time , so locked everything , mate was in a Rangie in front and just before reservoir track he slid in the ditch,
he had enough onboard to push him out. One time I was turned around and made my way back to the top [full noise] to
start my decent again, One time going up a SA hogged the road as the unwritten law is give way to ppl going up, gave him a mouthful made me happy. Only go to Tallarook when its raining, no fun if hot and dusty, march flies everywhere

[Parksy]

That is nice mudski. Gonna have to reposition mine in a similar way to yours. I like it.

[mudski]

Cheers mate.
I just had a piece of black pesrpex here, got the dremel out and cut a section off, got the gas soldering iron out, put the torch tip on, put the plastic in the vice, heated up along the perspex and bent it up. I had some tiny bolts here to attach the bracket to the display, then some double sided tape to stick it down on the dash.
The bracket really needs a small foot at the front of it too as the weight of the ECU talk wants to pull it forward if you know what I mean. Dunno how long the tape will hold though.

Yesterday I had both tie rods and steering damper changed and wheels rotated and a wheel alignment done.

[mudnut]

Got all of the wheels balanced.
The thrumming noise above 80kph
has gone. It is amazing how you
get used to a noise as it
progressively gets worse.

While I was at the tyre joint,
I got to compare the treads
on a set of maxxi bighorn
mud terrains and BFG
mud terrains.
Apart from a few minor
differences, the overall
tread depths and patterns
seem to be of similar design.

[mudski]

And the headache begins... gonna swap over intake manifold, new glow plugs and injectors.

[mudski]

Ugh! First hiccup. Different stamped letter of the new to old injectors.

[Stropp]

picked uip the patrol after the service and investigating the grinding sound from the front end, seems that when i had the last wheel alignment they screwed the bump stop bolts back in so when i put the 35's back on the lugs on the muddies were running on the suspension arm, screwed them back out and the noise is gone, bit of a shiny spot on the arms but no damage to the tyres :)

I've got one too and same issue. Was a bas#/#/# as I put the 64 in and drove to find it didn't recognise that card. Grrrrr.

Ran a new 16mm2 welders flex from the alternator to the cranking battery with a circuit breaker in line.
Now I won't blow the main 65A fuse when winching under load.

Spent a good five hours today under the bonnet. Manifold is off, new glow plugs in, injectors out and a few other things done. Just waiting on confirmation tomorrow about the different letter stamping on the new squirters to the old. From what i have found they are interchangeable, but i wanted to wait, just incase. Then its time to put it all back together.
I could have put the old glow plugs back in as they were still working, they were metal tipped too, and no missing tips. Thing is these have been in the motor since i have owned the car, around 100thou k's. And from what i know of its previous history, been in there for a previous 100thou. And no timer on them.

Can anyone tell me if the fitting plates have some kind of rubber on them to clamp on the gutter?

@ Hodge I decided to put the middle leg of the "C" pillar looked better that way.

[threedogs]

so how many weeks have you been waiting

Weeks more like months, both my boys are 6' plus and 100 kg they did it on there own
commenting "its not heavy" ha ha ha but its on and thats the main thing,
I even have a flag bracket, if any one needs aflag bracket for this
style rack I have an easy bolt on design.

[my third 256]

yes put some pads under plates can use inner tube or similar
dont use anything that holds moisture

[threedogs]

Thanks mate its only nipped up ATM and want to protect
the gutter as best I can before doing many miles.
Need to fab some awning brackets as well.
silly me not thinking [again] welded the shovel holder to the lhs
no biggie having the awning on the drivers side , as I dont think there are
left or right hand camp sites. So a bit of work ahead.

EDIT;; just had a look so will super glue some 1/8th insertion rubber I have on the fixing plate,
that will leave no metal to metal anywhere, whoooo hoooo

All done ,well protected now, now to fit the light bar first.

[threedogs]

AARRRGGGhhhhhhhh the light bar doesn't fit using the OE mounting legs.
so I'll need to fabricate some custom legs and get them powder coated.
Only a small set back

[mudnut]

Dug some small areas of
rust out of the LHS gutter
and treated it with ferronite.
I will paint it tomorrow.

Well finished the trol. A clean intake manifold on, new glow plugs, new squirters and new fuel filter. A few pumps on the primer, cranked it over for 10 seconds, another few pumps and he fired up. Next to do is the lift pump mod. I might do a walkthrough on the process on the manifold removal, as it was pretty a daunting job. Theres a crap load of things that need to be removed.
Derp!

Yeh I went down this track awhile ago as well for my 2 kids; options that I found were - install a crab bar (approximately $500!), make a custom draw set up that finished before the anchor points or buy a black widow / outback 4wd draw system with ADR approved child restraints that have been fully incorporated and design / tested etc.

I was advised at the time that you couldn't just install mounting points on top of a home made draw system and tick all the legal boxes, but let us know how you go.

Well basically your spot on, made a few calls and cant move or adjust anchor points. No chance of getting them put ontop of rear drawers either, no matter how good i make them.
Cant use a extension strap either as anchor point is still under the drawer system.
As for the C.R.A.B bar, thats another option which prices have dropped on, but still $380.
Being my drawer system is too high and i cant even fit a pram properly into the back i have too modify it anyway so i will probably make a new set with access too the child anchor points. The extra gap between seats and drawer system i will add a water tank and fill it with something else.
Then finish it off with a cargo barrier

just cut a 4'' hole in the bottom for the strap it will come about 4/5'' above the water tank that I have in

[Parksy]

Bloody rear brake calipers are leaking. I rebuilt them about 2 years ago using aftermarket parts, but recently found some brake fluid dripping on the inside of one of the rear tyres. Being cast iron, they were in poor shape before I rebuilt them, so not risking trying to fix them I purchased new calipers. They are aftermarket but I'll swap the genuine sliders into them as I only just put new sliders and bolts in about 3 months ago. Bloody money pits.

I tried running the cable for the rear work light via the back door ,
it rained last night and all the rain followed the cable into the cargo area.
So now I'll run the cable back along the roofrack to the "B" pillar and go in that way
Then under the side panels till I get to the rear cut out, where I can pick up power,

but whilst i was looking at the rear drivers side wiring to the lights at the rear bar. i noticed the wiring that was done by the tow bar guys.. seriously, these guy said they where pros... they used those clip type connectors and wrapped the lot in black tape .. see 2nd pic.... the tape has been removed in the pic
now i like doing wiring in my car myself and do take some pride, so after a couple of hours of cursing and swearing, i had to buy a new soldering iron. the old one just wasnt cutting it,,lol.
so the end result of tapping in to the existing properly .. job looks much neater and looks like a pro did it... 3rd pic the loom heading of to the left goes through the grommet and up to the lights..
didnt take any pics of the finished product, its the same as all the others thats been posted..
now i am at work and wont be home for a few weeks,, can anyone tell me what globes go in to these lights and on the bumper lights?? i am now where near my car and i would like to get led globes from ebay before i head home again... thanx 59167

To protect the front of your awning whilst travelling,

That area will take a pounding from ,bugs, rocks ,rain you name it.
Just a thought

Oh well still cheaper than taking it somewhere for a few hours of my time

[threedogs]

Picked up my awning bracket from the powder coaters and fitted it up.
Looks better than what I thought it would.

Now to re-fit the light bar and its all done, except for
some small wiring jobs

[Bacho86]

Just got the 140km service completed at outback 4wd.

For those interested they've changed all their oils over the past 3 months from BP to penrite due the lack of available "pro oils" from BP / castrol following the consolidation of product lines

Gawd! Ya not wrong! Thats a big job...

As for me, I just looked at mine, parked in the garage. I contemplated removing the wiring harness in the engine bay, so I can send it off for the cut and shut, but then I remembered about a bottle of red I needed to drink.

Put the compressor in today, still need to finish off a bit and put switch in place but all works. 59313

[mudski]

Removed the wiring loom from the ecu and engine and packed it up to send off. Also removed all wiring/ birds nest from the aux battery going into the cab. There was so many wires i couldnt remeber what these wires were for. Now im left with a gaping hole in the firewall loom boot.
Once the conversion is done, i will re wire the enitre aux side and what ever was attached there and put the aux back in.

[threedogs]

Re mounted my ECU-talk and fabricated three brackets so the awning will sit level with the gutter.
going to re-think the gauge side of things, happy as with the awning set up.
No metal on metal contact anywhere.
my icv% is still reasonably high
Hard ware will be changed to allen round head stainless bolts nuts etc.

Dismantled Runva winch for a clean and regrease. Was so clean inside I needn't have bothered, surprising considering she's been swimming a few times.

Stripped and cleaned it all, and a regrease anyway, since I had it all apart. Parts cleaner would come in handy, but ah well, easy job.

Just used an 8 gauge to a distributor block. I might swap it out for a 4 gauge though.

Gday,

Just wondering what model Runva you are running, and has it done everything you have asked of it?

Runva 11xp. Everything and more. Been used underwater a few times, and like I said, water ingress was at a minimum (tiny bit of grease discoloration near the free spool lever).

They come with great warranties and well priced. 10/10 would buy a again!
