Gave it a good clean, dust and vacuum after the last weekend away....
Damn it was full of dust inside!
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Finally stuck in the Auberins EGT gauge. All I have to do now is find a permanent home for it :)

Finally parted with my hard earned and purchased 6 285 70 17 summit mud hog tyres. Thanks to the guys at Torq4x4. I will post a thread in the tyre section as to my experiences with these tyres. Off to Janowen hills this weekend for a workout.

Picked up my Koni shocks and new springs today. If I wasn't heading of to Tassie they would be in by this weekend.
After lots of crawling,wriggling & shuffling underneath the Patrol, I have finally completed the re-blacking of the underbelly. Now it just looks 'normal' rather than the extensively stone chipped look it had previously. It was a big job which would have been far easier & better done if the canopy & cab had been removed & vehicle had been stripped back to the chassis. As it was, it was mainly a job to improve the aesthetics rather than a serious rustproofing job. I used the KBS 3 step paint system, but put a final topcoat of satin black on, which looks heaps better than the Gloss Rustseal. From my experience my advice to anyone contemplating using this paint is go for it, but check the 7 day weather forecast before starting. Not good in hot weather - it dries too quickly, & apparently humid & wet weather should be avoided to, as the paint is a moisture cure product. The finish is certainly tough, & a smooth finish is easily obtainable using a brush (unless you do it when the weater is too hot - I ended up stripping the tow bar a second time & repainting because of this. Overall the job is a significant improvement ........ but will soon be covered in dust & dirt again. :)

Looks good Cuppa, always nice to see the end result of some honest toil.
Stuck a relay on my power cable in the rear for my fridge, put 2 switches in at the front 1 for said relay and 2nd will be for another relay when I need more power at the back!
