Tried the 12v Attachment 87688Attachment 87689Attachment 8769010T jack today, easily lifted front and rear of the Patrol, which I wanted, however its not rated at 10T, lift, which is how it is sold, but for use on a 10T vehicle weight and 3500kg max lift. Not happy, have made contact with the company, totally misrepresented. It does what I want but not with the FOS I was expecting.
bought a spare 13mm square socket for the ZD30 oil canister loosening ratchet hole
Jack Update from supplier - it is rated at 10T single point lift, so happier now
i bought a gq patrol. seeking bullbar fittting instructions. found 1, just need to post first before downloading.
the patrol i got is a dualcab 6x6 tipper tray
WOW, keen to see some pics.Quote:

It's like a second spare but emergency use only.
Or as Braz mentioned, floatie ring lol
Make sure you have the tools to break the bead otherwise it will perform just the floatie job. :smiley_thumbs_up:
Years ago I sketched up a tow bar bead breaker and posted it up here. At the time The Ferrett was active and asked for permission to fabricate as was his magical skill. I had no intention to produce or sell it and told him to go for it. Not sure if he ever made any. For the life of me I can’t find that thread now.Quote:

I bought a John Deere bead breaker years ago when in the US, small and nothing it can't break, 3 integrated moving parts, zero effort unlike the tire pliers etc
Tried the shovel tire trick today@plassy, worked fine, better with some practice. Didn't buy the other jogger because the freight was more than the item
Augh shucks...Quote:

Had one of these, lent it to someone, never came back. Anyway, they work, the JD just works with less effort I find, minor weight saving also.Quote:

Didn’t have an electric brake controller installed in my current Patrol, just tow bar and trailer plug from the dealer.
Recently needed to tow a large trailer and phoned around auto elecs for brake controller install quotes. None of ‘em work Saturdays (one thing we have in common, but there lies my problem).
Then I come across this. https://www.elecbrakes.com/product/e...SABEgKK9_D_BwE
Bought the unit, downloaded the app, synced it and towed home as happy as Larry it performed as good as anything hard wired.
Bloody wrapt with this unit and its portable car to car.
Going a bit different in this tub build. Instead of the run of the mill switches I decided to step it up a bit.
Sorta works out the same as its 8 switches, a fuse block, cabling, circuit breaker all in 1.
Ill do a write up on it as its a cool pit of kit..
Best part is the Bluetooth connection to the controller from the mobile..https://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/03/15.jpg

Today, I bought not just a brake controller, but a revolution in towing technology. Instead of opting for the conventional hardwired brake controller installation, I stumbled upon an innovative solution: the Elecbrakes portable brake controller. With its seamless integration via an app and its performance matching that of hardwired systems, I'm thrilled with its versatility and ease of use. No more waiting for Saturdays or dealing with intricate installations. This purchase has truly transformed my towing experience.
Congratulations.Quote:

In all honesty, what is that? Looks like a sunglass box to me.Quote:

Bought a set of sliders, with the single bulge at the rear door and the universal mount kit, will plate top and bottom with what I have left over from the tray, should come up well, bit of welding to do, all good. Will add the front rails to the bullbar later once I have it lined up, find these great for pushing through the overhanding stuff.
With the current Easter sales I brought a set of maxtrax and a companion aquaheat lithium gas shower. The Trax are more for the up coming trip and the shower is more for the week long high country trips.

Bought some fittings and hose from the guy who supplied me the kit for the front and rear hydraulic winch setup - what a breath of fresh air in a land of crap - effortless, helping, interpreted my chicken scratching of a sketch into actual tangible parts, sending it from Bris tomorrow, will have Thursday AM, Newland Fluid Power, great people, ask for Dan - the owner. I decided to add a fan force fluid cooler to the circuit.

After 13 years I finally bought a bonnet insulator replacement lol.
Poor old oem one was a saggy beef curtain and a fire hazard in the making.

Steering getting a bit vague. Since I'm in the bush mode I thought I might as well do the lot.
