Gonna be a nice cold one for ya Roofy mate haha enjoy your trip

Im tuning my Dawes valve.... What a wondrous thing it is... Just wish I could get it perfect. Speaking of which, has anyone delt with MTQ Engine Services? I want to get my GU dyno'd and the Rapid Chip module I bought tuned up.

Tonight, tinkering more with my light bar and spotties setup... Neighbors going to hate me :p

wired up the roof spotties, rear work light and a plug for the led light strip for the side awning, unplug the strip and roll up the awning and stow it and cap the plug and tie it in a loop with a cable tie so it doesnt flap all over the place until next use of the awning, cut the tie uncap and plug it together and presto light!!

Ok, so I changed the oil and filter in the ZD30 (06) today for the first time (oil filter is a bit of a PIA but such is life).

Checked in the service book....8.2L with oil filter, ok all good, fill with 8L, start her up, drive off ramps to make her level, let idle for a bit, switch off, wait for a couple of mins and check level.

Only just showed on the bottom of the dipstick, I thought WHAT!?, anyway it took another litre of oil to get it to the right level.

I must have checked it 10 times just to make sure. Anyone else have a 9L capacity Patrol ;)

The only other thing I can think of is that I miscounted the number of 1L jugs I poured into her, though I was marking each one down on a piece of paper as it went in.

Anyway, my question......if it's reading right on the dipstick, I shouldn't be concerned right????

But this would be for severe 4 wheeling, yes? Seems like overkill for "normal" driving.

finally wired up the switch for the rear light I fitted weeks ago!!!!!!!
Another thing ticked off the list.

I drove mine for the first time in 3 weeks...hahah
....and YES, still goes as hard as always ;)

I thought I saw recommended change either 10 or 20k somewhere
But yes I do sometimes drive her like she was/nt meant to ;-)


Tapp tillya Crap

My recovery points turned up today so I put the lefthand side one on. Run into a little bit of trouble with the right... Theres no captive nuts in the chassis rail. What has everyone else done to get theirs on the RHS?

Cheers, Teno.
