Started to put my Muddies on for up coming fishing trip, but the Pr$%ck at the 4x4 shop rattled gunned them so they wont budge.
glad I wasn't in the bush, they normally use torque ends for me. will never go again. Only get one chance with my 4x4

Installed a set of Narva lights today. Beauty.
fitted 100w hid kit to my lightforce 240s man they are awsome !! bring on some light bars now also
Just had Mr nissan do 10,000 k service. $300 later
Finally got the front wheel nuts off [both] with the help of a 4 foot piece of pipe.
What ever made the shop do them that tight has got me beat.
Check yours just in case you go bush and get a flat or peel a tyre off.
Anyway Muddies are now on, lets go
That's a joke hey!!
Nudda zip, did get a call from commerce who stated the stealership is at fault with my troll and responsible for my $13k bill so heres hoping they come to the party.
If all goes well I ahould get the troll back on friday with a brand spankers 4.8 thirsty donk in it
working on tuning the gas and craby system. It chooses one of another to run well on and farts and coughs on the other.
Bolted on a reverse light and wired it up. Now I can see when I reverse instead of relying on the single Nissan light.

I need to look at something like that reverse light on mine, even though I have the kaymar bar with LEDS in it, still not very bright but not sure whether I would put it there as I can see it getting knocked off whilst wheeling
Wired in sounds folk's, woohoo! the old one was was a cash converter's jobbie so I ditched it just in case it was a stolen piece lol. don't want that sort of dirt on my hands these days you see. :-) just a cheap jvc 50wx4 stezza but i did it properly with solder and heatshrink. make sure those connections are idiotproofed folk's. on the bright side I went bashing in the scrub in south hedland and had a ball, lost a mudflap and woke up this morning to a gearbox that won't go into first or second. bit of bitching and a quick jab to the gearstick moved her into freedom now i have my gears back woo x2.
also looking at why the previous owner bypassed the spotlight switch meaning more piss farting around today to try and resolve that one. no biggie but still peace of mind s more comforting than the feeling of yellow on the windscreen. lol good day troller's
The reverse light is an OEX, 900 Lumen output, LED (9-50V)
It is bright bright. It is quick to remove when hardcore 4 wheeling. One little cap screw.
They aren't easy to break as they are cast iron. I was going to put it up near the spare as other have done, but I find that a pian in the bottom.
I looked under the front seat as I dropped some coins this morning and low and behold a $20 note. Yipeeeee
Whoah gotta love that!!
Got half way through a spartan locker install.
Picked up the troll from Nissan......Finally! Runs like a gerbel on steroids BUT they lost the remote to my stereo, lens cover off 1 of my spotties and the Aircon has no gas in it!
What a bunch of twats
Hopefully got my gas system working properly $196 later but if its sorted it will be worth it, was only getting 200km-230km from a full 100 litre tank
yup def a bunch of muppets, gonna have to try ring them tomorrow and find out WTF is going on lolol and more than likely back to Nissan next week for the AC
After battling some stubborn nuts and bolts I finally got the pyro in yesterday, also put in a boost gauge. Got autometer gauges out of the states for a good price although the pyro is in fahrenheit I am happy with them.
Changed the globes to amber ones and they match the main cluster pretty well. Now I can see what the motor is doing and keep an eye on it, may install a NADS in the future but see how it goes in the mean time.
Good idea Roy best thing you can do.
I put a little more boost into the Patrol, Egts still get around 400c on hard throttle,
Hell of a lot zippier now,
Nothing just admired it for looking so good
love my troll
Took it out yesterday, did a couple of deep river crossings, up over the bonnet and she loved it. Might get a snorkel sometime soon though lol
Tappa tappa
Fixed cup holders:

fixed my starter today, starts good and proper now!
My GU came with the OE cup holders, but I dont use them,
I have 2 empty stubbie holders there full of pens and remotes
Great idea put it in the DIY section
Turned the chip back up to six
Drove it like I stole it, until I saw the cops, then drove it like nanna on her way to church. lol
Washed the mud and clay off o that my wife can get in and out without getting it on her good clothes:blowup:
Well, I've finally had to lift the bonnet and spend a bit of money - instead of spending my money on toys. lol
Got a full set of turbo and exhaust gaskets from Nizzbits. Just waiting for the postie and my son to turn up.
Discovered the drivers door lock is stuffed, locks all doors apart from itself.
Will pull door card off over weekend and have a look.
Rewired the spotties (before getting crook as a dog) with a new Lightforce harness as the Narva 1 was crap, also wired up and mounted the lightbar also with a Lightforce harness.
Ran out of time so mounted them with a common switch until I get time to trace the cable through to another dedicated switch. Just need to try them out of a night-time now.

Bloody nothing ... and the exhaust manifold is loose and whining, the drivers side mirror is just about off, the rear slider windows are all stuffed, I have a terrible shudder at 90klms after our little venture the other week through the track at the back of my joint, the fuel reg is stuffed and causing grief on cold starts, and I've found two rust spots (bubbling) In the gutter near the B pillar on the passenger side ...
Ahhhh ... nothing like having "something to do tomorrow" !!! lol
