Iam gonna throw 6 grand at the ute in two weeks time. Made an offhand very vague comment to the missus about doin some mods to the ute. I chose to make the comments when she was busy talking to some of her friends when I knew she would be distracted.Quote:

G'day trendsetters,
I finally got around to start my beloved Patrol today after 2 months of being confined to hospitals and bed. Unfortunately, the battery was farked,So I went into Coffs Harbour to purchase a new battery and I have just started the poor thing.
PS, She is purring like a jungle cat. lol
Regards,
PMC
Bought a new head unit to replace the factory one. Comes with OziExplorer, so now I'll have this and Hema on the iPad and a few others on the Android. Even get an external mic and reverse camera - that'll bring the GUII up to a today standard car :)

Once that's in, time for some new speakers and a small sub (got sick of removing the larger one every time I needed space in my Pathy).
I show her what I bought and say look what you own 1/2 of dear, I do have damaged hearing from the smacks around the ears but she gets over it.Quote:

How easy they forget all we do for them, lol now save up and get some rotors and pads for your side Ha HaQuote:

I went to that camping show and spent $20 on a fridge stand and was proud that I controlled myself.
My wife loves camping as much as I do, so I get free rein. Just got delivered a set of Poly-Air bellows to assist with my rear leaf suspension. :Yahoo!:
Will fit this weekend (in between making a new centre console) – Photos coming
A Thumper Air Compressor and a Kwiky Tyre Deflator......
Wasn't today but last Wednesday. I had to go and get a pressure washer as we had a mini excavator and bobcat in my backyard and the garage and driveway was an inch higher from all the mud. I went down to my local SCA, as I do contract work for them and I know them pretty well. Plus I have a trade card so it's an extra 10% percent off. I go to the counter and hand over my trade card. The girl says for me to give her my Club Plus card instead. I asked why and she quietly said that this washer goes on sale on the weekend at 20% off so I will get 20% over the 10% off. Sweet as bro! Now I got $60 to spend in there coz I can...
Bought one of those moulded plastic mechanics' creepers. Saw it last month and waited until the 20% off was current. Now that I have it, I can't imagine how I have done without it. The oil change was a breeze.
My wife uses mine as a furniture trolley :)Quote:

Holy hell it hurt. Now I'm not a person who bruises easy, but that left a massive bruise.Quote:

It is quite comfortable. A hell of a lot better than cold concrete. mudnutette has moved out now, so it will be one of the others that find me. Anyway, the dog likes to crawl under the car and try to lick my face...Quote:

Got my slide hammer in the mail today, time to fix some dents
A double choc Mars Bar. I gotta say its not as good as the original. Just tasted like dark chocolate really.
Ironman 2" lift kit, Ironman stearing damper, Ironman Caster bushings.
Going to wait by the mail box untill the packet arives :)
Few goodies this week. New speakers (Infinity splits for front, 2 ways for the rear) - all arrived. 10" Clarion 'slim' sub kit (amp & wiring kit) went slim to avoid taking it out when loading the trol up - not even posted yet - grrrrr.
Last but not least a ECUTalk display.
Was meant to be an awning, but oh well - it's not summer yet :)
Bought a wireless range extender today for home. I have an Officeworks nearby with a pc store opposite and just down the road is Centrecom. Centrecom are always cheaper by far than Officeworks but never have the stock and Officeworks do. So like may other times I go to OW today and pickup this extender I needed which was $129, Centrecom have it for 99.50, but have no stock, I ask them if they can pricematch, I show them the add on my phone, and, they knock off another 5%. Win!!!
Bought a replacement 11 led camp light to replace the one I broke on the Simpson trip, it's cheaper than the last one at a whole $4.85 posted rather than $32 from the camping stores.
came back to perth after fortnight away from the possum and he has tinted the windows on my car,he also has visited every fast food outlet from home to perth in the last 2 weeks to..good to be back in the city for a day or 2.
Picked up a set of TRED's for $154 from Anaconda! Was pretty happy with that.

You reckon you'll ever use them Drew? I have been contemplating these things for a while now and can't make up my mind on them. I mean these are more for sand aren't they? Unless you do sand driving....Quote:
