It is better to use relays for head and tail lights to minimize the current that goes through the switch and get brighter light.Quote:

Or change the tail lights to led. Problem solved.
So I had what I thought was a major issue with my transfer case, it would pop out of low range all the time.
After spending the last 2 months thinking I would have to drop it and source new parts etc I managed to fix the problem in a minute.
Literally one minute.
The shifter boot was on backwards.
I feel like an idiot for not noticing before, but I bought it thinking it had a stuffed transfer, so that makes me feel a bit better. :D:D
Oops, the roof fell off!
they always look better topless :D I miss mine for taking up the beach like that!!Quote:

Muddies and roof rack fitted, exhaust connected back up and fridge wiring loom temporarily in place (will be done permanently once I get a dual battery system). She's all ready for her maiden camping voyage now! :)
Finally got some new pics too, and took a couple of photos with the silver shorty (which looks ghey with the crappy road tyres.
With the exhaust and muddies the MK feels like a different car. The engine is a lot quieter, but farrrrrrk me I thought it was slow with no exhaust. It feels gutless now, not as much in the top end and feels less torquey, more smoke than I remember too as I found out when accelerating heavily... oops... The muddies are worn quite unevenly from the silver car and as a result I have a pretty strong steering pull and a bit of a shake in the steering at about 80km/h, going to try swapping wheels back to front as the rears seem to have worn a little better, should have really checked that before I bolted them up.
Anyway, pic dump.
I like this pic, the old girl looks tough.

Attachment 47154I actually bought old yella a few months ago and am currently doing a full rebuild with the body for my gq chassis. Once the car was stripped the body was actually in awesome condition. Just a couple panels and doors needed scrapping. She will be a mental looking rig when she's finished.
Here's my mq bodied gq chassis v8 5 speed patrol. Old yella's body is replacing this one. Attachment 47155Attachment 47156Attachment 47157Attachment 47158
