What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Rossco]

Ahh. No....
C'mon markie [emoji6]

[threedogs]

Hmm o.k. So maybe they didn't over charge me. Lol. I was charged $80.... The mob I work for 15years sold bolts, imperial size only though. And I know they they charge around $3 for a 3/4inch x 4inch bolt, grade 8 etc etc. I'm in the wrong business. Feck!

Fell off my chair sorry $80
yell out next time you need bolts.
how come you never got zinc bolts again??

Seeing as real easate is at a premium on top of the dash,
I brought the above and modified it to suit my Hema touring GPS.
Not a fan of suction cups leaving marks on the windscreen, too easy
for theives to see if you have a GPS or not, and its more than likely
in the centre console or glove box. It will attach to the dash mat via
some sticky back Velcro.Also brought a 30cm USB to mini USB to give it power.
This will mean no cords going every which way.It also fits my DVR when
required.

Ahh. No....

I'm probably like Sandra Sally with the late news but I've seen from time to time people asking what's the go with the shaky mirrors on a GU, I undid that little screw underneath and the plastic cover comes off then there's three torx screws there , They were quite loose , I did them up and hey presto no shaking mirrors, only taken me 12 months to get onto that , the poor patrol plays second fiddle to the truck when it comes to maintenance & fiddling with stuff [emoji30]

Thinking of fitting a sheet of alloy checker plate to the floor of the roof rack.
one it will act as a tropical roof [ landrover speak] and 2 It should lower cabin temps heaps.
Sheetie owes me a favour Ill see what price he can come up with. Dont really want to mount a solar panel
on the roof it just doesn't make sense,well to me anyway

So what happened to keeping weight down?

[the evil twin]

Saw the rain coming (finally) so parked it on the lawn and squirted some detergent on it for it's annual bath...
It hates getting a bath but cleanliness is next to... is next to... uuuummmm... actually come to think of it I dunno why I bothered

No sugar or bad fats in aluminium... you can eat as much as you want

Its minimum weight,

Wind drag....

[mudski]

Wind drag....

Wouldn't be much I reckon... Only issue it might have with the full sheet is the radiant heat it will soak. I can imagine how hot it would get in full sun on a 35c day. It might not affect anything, dunno, just a though.

[Softy]

Fitted an opened ended tradie rack last week... Waiting for the awning to arrive.. But might have to get rid of the rack seems i only have about 1" clearance from the carport roof with both tanks full.... Have to see how much the car rises as the tanks empty. I have Dobinsons H/D springs so hopfully i'm good... Won't be fitting muddies anytime soon tho :(

They have been doing it on Landrovers ever since they were first made with great success.
I had a solar panel on the roof of my other trailer and it worked a treat keeping the heat at bay.
Google tropical roof

The sheet will stop most of the heat getting on to the roof of the car, plus the air gap adding to the cooling. Tbh would be a futile effort as our patrols have enormous windows that will still let in plenty of light (heat)

To late for you now, but the other day a 4B had an ARB flat platform on the roof with removable sides, half length sides and ends etc if you require according to the owner.

Thought it was a great idea as we have a RTT and my racks sides get in the way so it has to be removed for the tent.

The down side was the price!!

The roof of the patrol never gets hots as any breeze cools it down.
As I said only thinking, too many negatives from parking your patrol
in full sun whilst camping. My spot on the Murray has a tree line back from the
river where you can pitch camp and park the patrols be in the shade and
its only a few meters to the Murray. if I had panels on the roof I'd be forever moving
to chase the sun,the fridge would be working harder as the patrol is in the sun as well.
yeah too many negatives

Hopefully I have fixed the oil leak now. Doing some diagnosis and maintenance today on the RD28T. Was in the middle of taking the intake manifold off so I could get the the top oil feed line to check the banjo bolt, which was fine, but found that the large nut on the pipe to the EGR valve wasnt as tight as it shold be. I also found that the air line from the turbo to the intake manifold had a large hole in it. So that has been replaced. I also replaced the timing cover for a cleaner one. The engine bay is comong along nicely

[rkinsey]

Just took the Patrol for a run down the street. Wow, what a huge difference. Deffinately a good idea learning to do all the maintenance mysef.

Ideas please,, brought this 12v PIR floodlight, I have two ways of doing it.
Either mount it solid and wire to a switch somewhere or terminate it at a plug
ang just plug in at camp. Last is to make up a 3-4mtr lead and a bracket so
it hooks over the top rail of the roofrack and plug into the rear 12v outlet.
Thinking it will be OK at the back of the Patrol and light up as I approach.
thats the idea anyway


TIP<<<<<If you want the best 12 volt camp light going buy the 12v ROUND floodlights with the flat glass lens
One lights up my entire backyard, so much so I light my backyard with a few via a golfcart DC battery 18 AH
Highly recommend and less than $15 in most cases, forget the 20watt jobs they are not required
Ive been using these well over 5 yrs now.

you need to mount them up high at least 2.5mtrs they are that bright
For your annex maybe a warm white might be a better colour or put in a dimmer I did

Even though the current one is only about 2years old and still feels o.k. I suppose... I'll test out the pulling force with my scale on the knuckles too. Just to be sure they are right. I'll rebush the rear of the radius arms. As one of the knocks is right at my feet.

We changed the ABS module about 18 months ago as all the dash lights were going haywire. This time its just the ABS and traction control light. Could be the module again. CBF'ed with the chitbox tbh. It goes, breaks down about once every second week. We are just going to run it into the ground and worry about another car when it just wont go anymore. It not worth spending money on now.

Hopefully the manifold makes a difference. A 4" Patroldocta snorkel & airbox was definitely one of my best mods so far.

I just went out and jumped in her only to find the floors wet. It looks like when I had my windscreen replaced they didn't do a very good job of sealing it. Would a line of silicone around the edges be a solution?

Removed both radius arms and put new rear bushes in. The two main bushes are less than four months old so i only replaced the rears, which were four months old, just to fault find this front end noise. Also new radius arm bolts and nuts went in, as the old bolts were a little worn. Painted the front diff while everything was out, with POR15.

Also had 43% reduction gears fitted in transfer case including rebuild kit - all fitted by others. My contribution was to pay . I have also repacked / adjusted front & rear wheel bearings ( mine has the fully floating rear axle ) , replaced front panhard rod bushes. Finished my dual battery install. Full oil change & grease. Taken 3 months off work to travel.

I know the 4.8 brakes are and later gu's are as you can only fit a 16" rim on them..
Pretty sure early gu's are similar to the series 2 gq as you can still throw 15" rims on em..

If your doing the gu upgrade it's best to grab the master cylinder aswell.
And while your at it the steering box and drag rod aswell.. (drag rod will be needed regardless due to the longer distance from box to hub..)

From 306mm to 316 mm I wouldnt think 5mm would give a

It not just about disc size from the standard GU brakes to the TB48 brakes. The master cylinder has a larger bore and so do the pistons in the calipers. Doing this conversion on mine made a big difference to braking power.

put the new unit in What a job All 3ls should come with detachable gaurds
or even better a bonnet like a Kenny
so the jobs done no more can go wrong or can it if it does it down the back
and parked up and all this only 3 weeks out of hospital after major surgery
BUT the best thing is the lights melt the bitumen 100yards in front yay

What part of the intake? Those 304 ultibends arent great. I would paint them. Unless you have a good cleaning regime. They tend to spot rust and loose their finish.

Airbox to turbo. I'm pretty good with cleaning the engine bay, I try and keep it nice and tidy. They were only $35 each so not a huge loss if they go bad.

Are they 4"?

Are they 4"?
Yep 4". I'll have to get them cut to size and welded. I've had to use a 4" 90 bend for now.
