What did you do to your Patrol today!

Took advantage of Boxing Day sales and bought myself a new head unit. 65 bucks and I can hook my phone up to it and it actually makes sound and picks up radio.

Finally done some mods underneath :):):)

just kidding

Spent all day ripping the dash off again and the centre console looking for the home of two screws that I had left over after yesterday's effort lol, still have two leftover screws lol. Also wired in my wurton 5w pods on the back through to the free space next to sub tank switch.

Drove the old girl 600kms to Kalbarri and used 1.5 tanks of fuel (80lt tank). 15 minutes before reaching Geraldton, all of a sudden she started getting hot, pulled over and though the worst. Managed to burst the only bloody hose I didn't have a spare for, luckily the split wasn't to high up so was able to cut down the hose, filled up coolant, got into Geraldton and bought more and bought more spare hoses. A 6 hour drive ended up being 8 hours but thankfully the kids didn't arc up and remained well behaved, so was bloody happy with that.

Have had screws left over before, I think there is some bastard going around throwing in extra screws when we are not looking, then sitting back laughing while we try to find locations for them.

Put it in low range to pull this s!cker out of my front yard......after a lot of hard yakka digging first!

Been that long since I have put it in 4wd I had 2 read the manual 2 find out how 2 lock the front hubs in *L*

That's a big arsed stump Toddie




I drove mine today...................................again! ;)

Just did the same pulling out a stump but used hi range and a chain.
two tugs and 3.5 ton of Patrol saw it come out easy, then just cut up
with chainsaw to suit the Conara in Manland.


Was going to start the second glove box but pushing 38 here today,
so hard to motivate.
