Remember pocking around that general area yrs ago and came across some hop plants growing, must have been existing there for yrs and guess they were used for making yeast (hops and potatoes) to make beer.
Yeah that looks awesome AB and the weather was absolutely stunning for you. Very jealous mate

My pulse started racing when you said you found some "old boilers"... then all I see is some big metal round thing... not one single pic of the RSL on pension day
I am never taking my Jack Russel away prospecting ever again lol
Bloody Jack kept wondering off into snake land and then tried to put him on the lead and the detector kept buzzing when he walked near it, bloody nightmare!

Awesome AB love that pic of the bridge. Yeah pretty cool just poking about exploring by yourself, have always meant to spend a bit more time around Woods Point so much stuff hidden out there. .

Finished the rear bar off this morning. Then removed the rad and viscous hub as the hub is leaking, again. Cooling is a never ending issue it seems lately. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/10/264.jpg

Ha ha but in the dark ages when I worked for telecom one of the guys I worked with did that in multi story buildings 😊
Must have been common practice Nationwide in that game back then Stropp mate :-)
Heard his mate retired the Russell’s in place of more modern radio controlled Jet Hopper car means by the 80’s.
Dare say there were a few OHS&Dog issues onsite in the ceilings that prompted new SWMS :-)

Swapped a flasher relay to LED compatible one. Indicators clicking as they should now.
Also attempted to fit radius arm spacers , to push the front axle forward to clear the mud flaps.
Chassis on stands , jack under diff...
And then realised I don't have a deep enough 24mm ... ugh.
So I called it a day. Lol http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/10/540.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/10/541.jpg

Reading this with interest Hodge especially the method as I am up to do my radius arm spacers, good luck.
Thanks @PeeBee.Quote:

My plan was to jack the chassis up and stand it , to take weight off the axle.
Then , chock the front wheels back and front so it doesn't runaway on me once radius arm is unbolted.
Remove the sway bar links away from the radius arm and then unbolt the arm itself. Stick a jack under the axle to lift accordingly if need be to allow the 2 axle bolts to come out easier.
Then remove or push the radius arm forward enough out of the chassis mount to slide the new washer on and then slide it back into the chassis . @mudski gave me the heads up on a idea to put a ratchet straps around front of the car somewhere like bull bar brackets & the other end around the axle and then ratched the axle forward enough to align bolt holes etc ...
That's my grand plan anyway lol.

I also removed the inner door handle. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/10/611.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/10/612.jpg
Now to find where this exhaust leak is... I have to drive with the air on recirculate all the time otherwise when I stop moving I get a nose full of exhaust fumes.

Does the GU have vents in the rear quarter panel/outer skin like the GQ? This is where I find a bit of dust entering my vehicle. Might be a spot where exhaust is recirculating?
Yeah they do. I'll tape them up and see if it makes a difference. I'm also going to change the direction of the exhaust tip so it comes out just behind the mudflap.Quote:

Thats how its shaped to the door. Just looks like its hanging off. All new seals on every door maybe 2 years ago.Quote:

Yeah I'm begining to think this. I will have to take a closer look towards the front.Quote:

Gave the old girl a very overdue bit of TLC, she was looking pretty sad for a while.

hows the seal around your gear stick? probably the biggest point of entry near to the exhaust?Quote:
