Thanks guys, took it for a run on our road into town, serious pot holes and road works. Aimed for the worst and nothing thumped or bumped so very pleased with the latest mod.
Mmmmmm
Next on the list is 43% crawler gears, dont know when though.

Went to Jaycar on Saturday after work and picked up a relay with fuse in it - $9, and a rocker switch - $5. Hooked up my manual over ride for the lock-up in the torque converter, works a treat..
Installed the baby capsule. Don't know if this counts but what the hey!
Washed the carpet with a gherni and pulled out all the wet sound deadening crud and sponges from the front kick panels.
Can't decide if i am going to use a spray on deadener or dyna mat or just stonegaurd so it goes hard.
Well guys im either delusional or inaccurate or just lucky last week i removed my carby cleaned it all out reassembled it put new spark plugs in done the timeing and shes running alot smoother now ........but since i done all that I filled the lpg tank the same day I done all this to the old Troll......usually I battle to get 230kms to a 72 capacity lpg tank but recently it was 200 180 and the final straw was 144kms to the tank.............come today I ran out of gas I checked the odometer when I filled it I also hit the trip on the spedo because my Gas gauge does not work at all and when it did it wasnt acurate anyways so I have learnt to observe the kms to estimate when the gas will run out ........well today I got a whopping 347kms to the tank I almost fell out of the old trolll on my head I checked the odometer and yep its right I also hit the reset on my nav which also records how many kms I travel and with little difference it was 6 kms less but i may have travelled 6kms without power to the na as it runns off ciggi lighter .....
So now to test it again I have filled the tank and will see what happens this time !!!!

Finally got the odo back light fixed, washed the plastic bits while they were off as well.
Talked to panel beater about arrival of parts to fix new patrol (5 weeks old) after run in with rock a couple of weekends ago. Went up track very well, coming back down not so well.....tyre slipped of rock and dinted sill (easily repairable I have been told), broke flare and guard.....now waiting on parts...."doh" (not using insurance as they will just put the rest of our policies up)
Life is too short to be worried about the small things, no-one was hurt (except my pride) and now I am allowed to get a set of sliders for it..yay..
Installed a 2 inch body lift then looked at the gap in the rear bar and decided to raise it and the bullbar as well oh what fun.
Installed a 3" dobbinson lift kit with pan hard rods, lift those skirts on the gurl.
