Fitted my new bonnet struts and took them for a quick test drive lol as you do.
@ mudski remove the boot and using contact spray glue, glue some 6mm foam[open cell] to the inside
should be able to make the rip near on invisible too, and quieter as well
Put it on notice! Told it to fasten it's seatbelt and hang on!
The front end got a eight inch lift. Lol. No motor in it does this. Fecking looked wicked that high.

Gave the cab a good vacuum and clean and drilled some small holes in the front of the toolbox to let water and moisture drain out.
new dizzy cap, rotor, plugs and leads and air filter. the rest next weekend .
Started to install my new rear tail light assemblies today. Bought them off Ebay a while ago but hadn't time to fit them. They are fully wired and functional. Wiring worked out real easy. Found a rubber grommet at the bottom of both rear guards accessible from behind the light assemblies. Gives an easy run to either the trailer socket or both original lights in the bumper.
For the time being I'm going run all lamps in the new fittings but only the parker/tail lights in the bumpers. I may change it later, but for now this works for me and should not cause any fuse issues when towing the camper trailer.

New suspension bars front and rear. Everything except the radius arms. Also flipped the tail shaft.
Flushed the cooling system and added some fresh coolant, replaced the glow plugs. Just have to fix the cruise control service motor and replace all the gear oils now.
Nipped up the wheel bearings and while I was there converted the auto hubs.
Replaced the thermostat with a genuine Nissan one.

Not only are they bigger than the current ZD/ TB / TD calipers by 10 mm on the disc diameter, the pistons are larger too. I am keen to see what the Troll will stop like after fitting them. I need to get the larger bore i.d master cylinder first too.

Went out with the new car
Was happy except for the tyres
Will need something better
Finally finally got it regoed in Vic, after jumping through the bull$hit vicroads hoops that in the end I didn't have to... But I'll save that for the Angry thread later.
Just happy it's finally done! Let the mods begin...

Stripped and cleaned the TB calipers. Then gave them a lick of fire engine red paint! Sexy! Just waiting on two new pistons, two are pitted, then its rebuild time.
Have you got Brembo stickers to go on them wank calipers? LolQuote:

Just take the bearings out mate. Then you don't have to keep adjusting them. :driving2:
Buy the GU hub nut upgrade kit for under $100 and you will never have to tighten them again.Quote:

Service the Patrol, installed a new catch can, then built an extender for BPV bracket. Just waiting for the new intercooler to replave the old leaky one.

Two front ones in the left chassis rail, hold the bash guard in place. They have been sheared by a previous owner. Ive drilled them and tried extractors to no avail. Might just finish drilling out and retap the thread.Quote:
