What did you do to your Patrol today!

Installed a 2 inch lift as well as some tough dog panhards and a rtc damper. Front springs was not a fun job, but good as gold now. Went with heavy duty springs, which looks a lot beefier than what I originally had installed, yet the ride isn't any where near as harsh? Either way, I'm a happy customer.

Seats and drawers out interior and carpet Gernied now waiting for it all to dry out........Attachment 27369


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

Replaced my halogen work lights on the back with 2 new 48w led work lights and wired them to middle console switches individually.

Gave the GU a good vacuum but found out that under the drivers seat one of the little rubber plugs in the body was sitting loose under the carpet and had let a whole lot of dust and water in. Took the seat out to get a good look, cleaned it out as best I could and now I'm gonna start researching information on stripping the interior to give it a proper thorough clean.

The trick for putting front springs in is to put a bottle jack between the radius arm the chassis rail. As you wind the jack up, the diff goes down. I put 4in flexy coils in the front of mine recently. Holy crap, that was a mission!

That's the trick. I ended up doing that and was sh#tting bricks the entire time because I've heard many horror stories of the jack flying out a million miles an hour and injuring people.

FanTapstic!

Fitted an automatic lock up switch , pulled out the thermo fan off my aftermarket transmission cooler and raised my 4 hid,s to the top of my bullbar to improve airflow to my engine bay, by doing this I have dropped about 5 degrees on my auto( because the fan isn't blocking it) and almost 15 degrees off engine temp due to clean air hitting my radiators and coolers.... Very happy!

P.s did all this while at work on double bubble....
