What did you do to your Patrol today!

[mudski]

do you have measurements for this? keen to do it! got some time in the next few weeks!
cheers

Its coming mate. Just about finished. The magnetic latch I'm not happy with so I have taken it out. I just need to get the latch and plate to meet exactly but its proving to be a pain to get right. Will try again over the weekend. Pics of the semi finished job...

BTW. My leather steering wheel is in your dad's magic hands. I dropped it off today. Hopefully he can do something with it. I spoke to your mum and told her I was quoted $450 to totally recover the wheel! By an auto upholsterer.I nearly wrapped the wheel around the blokes neck when he told me.

I tapped that app...

Fitted up the rear barn door extension bracket this morning

[mudski]

Took the driver side door trim off to see if I can fix my window from coming down by itself. Got the trim off, looked at it, had a couple of "wife beaters", shut the door and went inside.

[Stropp]

had the spartan front locker installed today and had a mounting bracket fabricated for the provent.

[mudski]

I'm keen to see what you think of this locker Stropp.

[Stropp]

will report back mate, a few guys over here have them and a couple do very hard core stuff and no problems at all, i was told the shaft is stronger so less likely to break and they are made in the you sa .

Console looks good mate but one thing though, how can you steer when the steering wheel is on the passenger side??????? :D:D:D

They call me MCcrappatappalot!!!!!

[Cuppa]

Successfully fitted a UHF radio to the Patrol & yes I did power it directly from the battery, with an aditional fuse close to the battery terminal. Got it all in, battery reconnected, went to switch it on for the first time .....nothing! A tad disheartening to say the least! several pokes to the/on of button ....still nothing. Eventually, & before pulling the whole thing out again, I discovered by accident that on off is not just a simple click, but rather the button has to be held on for a second or two......phew! Even though I was parked inside a corrugated iron shed with the bonnet up blocking the antenna from the only open side of the shed I got a truckie talking to his mate about a load he's picking up tomorrow in my ear (Also fitted an extension speaker to the top of the plastic seatbelt cover just inches from my right ear). I thought that was pretty good seeings I'm also 30kms from the nearest town/highway.

Almost got stuck in the bush on a track, finally found a place to turn around, then still managed to back into a tree on the way back down :S Luckily it was only the black plastic part of the bumper and nothing else.

Ran cem oil flush through and changed the oil and filters.
Got 12ltr out after the flush not too bad.

[Parksy]

12ltrs? That's amazing. What's the capacity normally?

[Drewboyaus]

Bought myself an ARB winch bar (came with an X9 winch) and a set of ARB sidesteps and scrub bars for the Q. Was a reasonable secondhand deal. Probably pull the winch apart for a refresh before fitting it up....quite pleased!


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

[Tank]

Made mine a cargo barrier today that's moveable so I can have behind either the 2nd or 3rd row of seats. used some 25x25x3 RSH and a pipe bender to make the frame it worked out better than I thought it would and then welded on some reinforcing meshing that was left over from the shed floor.
Also made up a rear hook mount that goes onto the standard tow point. Beefed up the attachment section of the chassis with a length of 12mm flat bar, only issue with the whole thing was having to drop the fuel tank that has about 80lts in it

Sold the gq after removing the rack and tent then removed the rack from the GU ready to do the swap, I also pulled all the staples from the Hannibal tent cover so I can replace the cover with a new one before I put it onto the GU.

Fitted my new and refurbed GU4 leather steering wheel into the old girl today. Had to modify my clock spring from a GU4 clcok spring so it would work. Worked a treat went off to work and I heard an almighty crack when I full locked right. Got home and found that my clock spring had snapped off the loom inside. Rang a few wreckers and found out its not uncommon for this to happen but no-one had one. So I soldered it all back together. Now to put it all back in tonight.

This is their website (http://www.thewetseat.com/). Inland Australia handled the online order. When I called to let them know I was moving they got the covers to me a couple of weeks ahead of schedule so I had them before the move, even though I said I was happy just to give them my new address for delivery.

Fitted the new cover to my Hannibal roof top tent, fitted the tent up and doh have the cover around the wrong way. I fitted it the same way it came off but didn't think about the fact that as I am swinging the tent to come over the side instead of the back that the cover need to be turned to allow the zips to be access able along the sides and back :/ take it off tomorrow and turn it around so its all good.

[Parksy]

Found the source of one of the annoying under dash vibrations. The center panel has the ducting for the vents, and the vents sit within the duct, but I suppose over time the Original foam around the vents becomes weak and doesn't provide the cushioning effect so the duct then has something to vibrate against. Fixed by putting foam tape around the inside of the duct. Annoying noise gone. :)

There is a laser cutting workshop in Portland. I've used them to do some small jobs for me and their work was perfect. I was thinking of using them when I do my rear bar. I use one of the local sheet metal workshops to do all my visible welding, because he does a very high quality job.

The light bar looks good, mate. I made a card board mock-up of my winch, so I can make a cradle. I have noticed that a winch bar has a vertical surface to mount winches, but most of the winch cradles have a horizontal mount. I am going to try and make the cradle like a winch bar, IE a vertical mount.

[Cuppa]

Grrrrrrrrr........ Spent all day stuffing around doing a job I had thought would take a couple of hours max. Fitting the factory wheel arch flares & the non factory mud flaps. If I had been willing to pay the crazy money Nissan wanted for their wide wheel pack mud flaps the job would have been all over & done in an hour, but instead I have had to fabricate brackets to mount the flaps. The factory flaps mount with three fasteners each, two of which are plastic 'scrivets'. Of course the bloody scrivets supplied with the flares are too short for the aftermarket flaps which are thicker. Twice I attempted to stick some plastic inside the flares with you beaut Loctite 406 & 771 primer. All looked good until I was screwing into it & it fell off inside the flare. I lost count of the number of times I had the flare on & off. Loctite and epoxy putty finally got things sorted. Hope so, 'cos once the flares are stuck on with the supplied double sided tape there will be no access to their inside.

My arc welding has improved & good enough for the brackets, (which will provide stronger mounting than the factory set up) but determining hole positions was a bit harder. Having to cut the metal strips out of old scrap laying around took a bit of time too.
The light beat me tonight so I have left the brackets, screw heads & washers painted & drying overnight. Hopefully I'll get it all together tomorrow morning & be able to get into town to have the new wheels & tyres fitted.

[ShaunM]

Wish I could say I fitted EGT and boost gauges...but can only say drilled a messy hole in my dump pipe.
Was trying to tap a thread in for the fitting but stuffed it up. I'll have to find someone Tuesday morning to weld one on.

The rest of it's almost done with no probs though.

[threedogs]

Did you get it sorted.??


Also going to cut some Laser plates to mount Fire extingishers in cab.
The BEST Position is either in front or beside the driver.
Reason being its the FIRST thing to grab in the advent of a fire.
No point mounting them say on your cargo barrier, or cargo area
Will be very cost effective, plus save you drilling into floor.
Been thinking on this for a while.
I'm still waiting for my IC to arrive thinking Tuesday everything is Tuesday
