What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Winnie]

Get a quote from DGA they were the cheapest by far for me. $10000+ all accessories for $1100 and a $500 excess. And I'm a P plater too!

If you were members of a club, you'd be covered anywhere on the planet plus all accessories, and cheaper too

[Winnie]

Yep DGA cover anywhere. Could be cheaper in a club though. Bloody good price though I reckon especially for a P plater.

Cleaned MAF, blew out air filter, tightened every 10 mm bolt in engine bay. (Cos it was to far to shed to change the socket to another size)
Beers were cold though.maybe that was the reason?

[mrflibbles]

gave the factory alloys a good scrub, they look good now! (i thought they were a dirty gold colour turns out they are silver!)
checked out why the passenger side hub was hard to turn, pulled it apart cleaned it and greased it, turns great now.
secured the grille with zip ties!

[Dinger]

Well as posted got new rtyre rims and 2" lift.
Today replaced the ignition barrel and door locks and started my storage boxes and made some new panel for the sides in the back as well.
The first photo is the new lift etc
The second storage (I will update as I go)
The last one is my son parking his 4WD next to dads.

[threedogs]

WOW Dinger He's only a little tacker hey, could hardly see him. LOL
4x4 looking the goods now, gotta be happy with that.

[BigRAWesty]

Started to fit my 1" cab lift. Exposed all the bolts under the carpet and covered them in crc before leaving for work..
Dam those square plastic caps along side the middle seats are a pain to lift..
While door seals are up I'll run wire for the new rear work light.

Even though the rig just got a new motor, gave it a 2k service and put in a tablet mount in the back for munchkin on the long drives.

Started packing the rig for a weekends shooting :)


Tap, Tap Taparoo

[threedogs]

Hey Westy how come only 1", isnt that lower than std.??

[BigRAWesty]

I thought the same when first investigated, But you lift by adding the spacer under the stock rubber ones. That's why it's critical there the same diameter.
I only want 1" to mount sliders and more room fit a long range tank. Hoping for 130L +.. 50% bigger.

Sounds like you need 2 notch the floor pan out or modify the selector

[BigRAWesty]

If I notch the floor the boot won't fit then.
It has 12mm gearbox spacers under it to correct the lift, so I might try remove that first. If not I might try adjust the linkage.

Today, I picked up and fitted a Tigerz11 Grande 12,000lb winch, and over the past few weeks I have fitted a genuine steel winch bar, rated recovery points to the front, make and installed a table for the rear door, fiited LED lights over the table and into the awning, and last but not least fitted a rear work light.

[Winnie]

Got some blue spotlight covers, huge mod lol.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Ordered my 55w HID kit for my IPF900 bar spotties with internal ballasts. But unfortunately I cannot get HID kit with internal ballast for my 5 x IPF808 on the roof rack and don't really want to fit externally on the rack.

Copy cat I also ordered some 55W HIDs for my spotties, no way to mount them internally though.

[threedogs]

Mego how come they wont fit???

[MEGOMONSTER]

Although I haven't looked into it myself, the guys I bought the kit off reckon there just isn't enough space inside the housing of IPF808's for a ballast and wiring to convert. Only using ballast externally. 20763

Hey Macca,

Did you leave your truck parked in western Sydney for a while I notice someone took all your wheels:tongue:

[threedogs]

Mego Noticed you have an Auspit too, great piece of kit eh.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Mego Noticed you have an Auspit too, great piece of kit eh.

The first time I took it camping they all look at it and said it a useless piece of shizen, until I cooked on it, now they all say " make sure you bring the auspit"
It is expensive for what it is, but bit has it paid for itself. Just throw on what ever you want, turn it on, come back when it's ready. Beautiful, can't rate it highly enough. Get one and you won't go back.

I got one alright, went on a sponsors drive with 4wd tv ,Rhett from auspit supplied food.
couldn't figure out this 6' wok thing he had, I thought light a fire underneath and slap steaks on
the inside,. But no it was a fire pit after filming and arriving back at "camp", Rhett had 6 or so
Auspit going, beef, lamb. venison and pork ,spuds onion in general a feast, then later peaches dribbled with honey
. Pic is mate Phil watching 5kg of beef turning, very hard to stuff up a spit. 100% best piece of kit going around

Hey Macca,

Don't be like that, we in western Sydney don't worry about stealing just the wheels these days, easier just to steal the whole thing,

Also we would wait for a gq 2 steal, we wouldn't waste our time with a GU........we know GQ's are the better Patrol :)

I replaced both my washer pumps, bought 2x off fleabay. Didnt realise I had purchased two units for the front washers. Made a subtle adjustment (sliced off restricting tab) and all good!
Now they "squirt" like never before.

[Winnie]

I ordered new washer pumps for mine on Friday, they are so weak at the moment lol

Do new ones pump more/better? I was thinking about upgrading mine somehow so they actually clean mud off the windscreen.

X 2 with taslucas, I use a sewing needle to clear them ,but you need the hose off the back of them {TOM CATS}, needle
helps line them up too. I call them tom cats don't know why, all my mates call them that too, have for as long as I can remember.

[rusty_nail]

I replaced mine and they work a treat. The only thing I found to be a problem was the hose to the rear was blocked up with gunk. Even putting a hose onto it it didn't really clean it out. Does anyone know a chemical which will clean all that build up? I would try draino but I think it might eat the hose lol

Broke the rear steering linking rod in the bush on Sunday, luckily I had a spare from my donor Patrol and was back out there in the bush today fixing it. Unlike the 100 series landcruiser that had to be towed home. Although I suppose he didn't feel safe leaving his 50K truck overnight compared to my 5K Safari

Hot wire the winch to a battery and see if it works mate? The controller operates the solenoid pack which is jut a big relay. Hot wire the winch for a second to see if your fault is the controller, the solenoid or the winch. There could be nothing wrong with the winch ;)

Have you done any upgrades to it? I recommend new tyres!! Massive change! Also while your there some lead wheel weights in each tyre (100gm per tyre) and this will also be a BIG upgrade..

I like your trailer idea!! Just need someone at the other end to load the trailer!

Yeah used one today on a mate's 60 cruiser. (bogged where my patrol crawls through no problems) Ironman winch no problems with it.

[The BigFella]

well I start a new job tomorrow and some of you have heard before that I sleep in the rear when on the road towing all sorts of cargo up and down the east coast.
Had a good set up. Had to remove the right side rear seat that gave me the length for my 6f2i frame, our Waeco is always in the rear, Coleman Dual Fuel stove and cooking box of goodies!
So we removed the bed replaced the rear seat and returned him back to a station wagon again!

Really looking forward to getting back to some normality,,,,,,,,

one good thing about the remote controls for winchs is if you by yourself or if your in a dodgy situation, you can stand clear of everything and work the winch from a distance.

Yeah, he was in a sticky situation where he needed both hands to steer, so I was able to control the winch from a safe location. Great little device.

Also going to emphasise that my Patrol got through with no assistance and so did my mate's Daihatsu! Bloody landcruisers...

2" lift installed (shocks, springs). Feels like I got way more than 2" of lift though - expect it will settle some, and the old suspension looked factory so had ~270,000kms on it
Dawes, needle valve and EGR blank fitted. Actually did it yesterday, but played around with it a little on the freeway today to get it set right

Got sick of him not listening, so every time he stuffed up, I'd make him run a lap of the oval. He learn't very quickly after lap 6. PML.

I'm a hard task master, but it's my troll he's driving! He never looks at the 'swinging' front end when he's reversing. Lucky it was only orange cones he kept hitting!

[taslucas]

Developed a bad miss after fitting the pertronix and coil so fitted new leads (no change) and today fitted new spark plugs which i hope helps.

Pulled brakes apart to lube up a sticky slide. Found that the pad had worn unevenly so have to get some new pads tomorrow.

[threedogs]

Shouldn't you machine the discs with the new pads,
Anyhow found my noise it was a fairly big crack a the exhaust near back of turbo, under a year old.
I'll take it back and see what they say,

[taslucas]

Not necessary to machine the discs as they are in good condition still. The pad had just worn more on the side where the slide was sticking but hadnt worn through to the metal.
You dont need to machine the rotors everytime you put new pads in.

Installed central locking in my 89 GQ, got a master actuator on the drivers door, front passenger door and on the barn yard door, the two rear doors only have slaves installed. was a bugger to install, and have to do something to the drivers door as turning the key is real hard now, worried about breaking the key off. might look at installing keyless entry soon to overcome that, but so far going from having to manually check and lock all doors to now locking one and walking away, was well worth the 138 I spent, had to buy 2 kits as 1 kit only has 2 masters and 2 slaves, so have spares if I need them in the future.

Today after months of procrastinating , extracted a digit or two and purchased a snorkel . Third time lucky -first was an ebay special and just didnt like the look or quality of it so sent it back. Second was a tigerz 11 one - same sent back didnt like . This one is a factory Nissan snorkel , yes more expensive but I am happy with it . Got to use some of my new toys in the process . A nibbler and a dremmel . Had fun today attacking the guard . The paint is drying overnight on the holes in the guard so tomorrow will be the final fitup . Will take some pics and post up in my ride in the next couple of days .

Replaced the stereo from my old car. Took out the old nokia hands free holder. Fixed the rear swing spare tyre holder.
Need to give it another clean!

[mudski]

Fitted new silicone turbo hoses and used real clamps, not the POS worm drive ones. The only hose I didn't do was the lower hose going into the intake butterfly as it was two different sizes and I couldn't find one to fit. The clamps I used are Breeze Constant Torque clamps. Expensive but will never come loose again. I got lazy and should have cut the elbow shorter, closer to the clamp, but i was getting a bit drunk by then so the CBF's came into play pretty hard...

Ok so it wasn't today but last week I did a service on Theo myself. Change oil and coolant, pulled all hoses off and degreased and cleaned them. Took of the intercooler and cleaned that out, took the radiator out, cleaned that, pressure tested it, found out where this certain oil leak was coming from, turned out I'm having blow-by from the crank case breather hose leakin oil into my turbo and intercooler so my plan is to get a longer hose to create a low point where the oil can pool up and put a T-piece with a cap on the bottom to drain very time I do an oil change. Pretty proud of myself considering I'm a first year heavy diesel mechanic and had NOTHING to do with cars previously (I was a computer technician/salesman)

Not so much what I did TO my Patrol, but rather what I did WITH it.
Took SWMBO out into the bush on tracks close to our place this arvo. First time I've done a bit of mild 4wd'ing. Crossed a few creeks, negotiated a few ruts, climbed a few hills & generally thoroughly enjoyed exploring bush I haven't seen for several years since I last had a dirt bike. What made the difference was having rid myself of the creaking noise that the canopy had been making. Now I can drive around on uneven ground without worrying I am damaging something. Makes all the difference.
We did find one creek crossing which I chickened out on & decided to leave until some of you fine fellows make it up this way to show me how it's done. The water was probably only about 18" deep with a rocky bottom, but it was the rock shelf step up on the other side I wasn't sure about. Best attempted in the company of those who know what they are doing & with the ability to pull me out if need be! :)

[Cuppa]

Crawled underneath the Patrol with torch between teeth to discover whether or not I have extended diff breather hoses fitted & if so where they go to.

Discovered what looks like quite a professional job, not sure if they are factory fitted or added by Telstra.
All breather pipes are combinations of flexible rubber hose & metal pipes. Rear one feeds into a threaded fitting in a chassis cross member just in front of the (rear) fuel tank. Ends of this cross member (tube) are plugged with rubber bungs. Removed rubber bungs to find the tube half full of moist red sand. Hosed it out with pressure washer. Surprised that internal paint was intact & shiny & no rust evident.

Front breather is routed into the passenger side quarter panel, together with breathers from the gearbox & transfer case. Looks OE to me. 3 neat parallel pipes all go up through the engine nay & enter the quarter panel through a large grommet with separate holes for each pipe.

So is this a factory set up or not? It certainly appears to my inexperienced eye to be more than adequate.

Removed Firestone Air Bags for now and will address the refit once the Canopy and frame are added to assess weight requirements. Not as stiff as i expected either as some of my friends with that OTHER brand of 4wd have suggested Ironman shocks are a little stiff. No more sway bars and a little more sway but hey i like the Big Boat feel. 5 hours later though im good for a couple of beers. Cheers ;-)

Changed out the resonator easy job only took an hour or so.
Flushed the cooling system and replaced the radiator hoses

Mine did very little work today. Drove about 60 metres to the boat ramp and another 60 metres back. Parked safely in the garage for a rest.

Hey Winnie - what's the need for a 12000lb winch? If you're that stuck a shovel is your friend! :)

If you had both though wouldn't you think that the 12000lb is going to be better?

Took the GU to a local quarry to do some serious 4WDing. Very impressed and so was the Toymota driver who came along to 'tow' me out - as if!
Must remember to turn off traction control next time, had me wondering what was happening on a reasonably difficult manoeuvre. Easy fixed and impressed with the diff locker. Limited mud as it's pretty dry but some challenging climbs and descents. Sand practice next weekend, can't wait.
Yeap I know, pics are on the camera. Will post next week.
Cheers

would love to see them
