Big enough and bloody heavy, will need to attack it with the axe so I can get rid of it. Not today's job............. back still killing me from cutting down another tree yesterday. And its now beer drinking time :) my body doesn't handle physical work very well these days :(

Around 4 hrs of work yesterday cutting down a tree......and I thought I was on holidays! Tree was riddled with white ants. Had something a bit bigger than the patrol 2 help with yesterdays job :)

Well his getting a good laugh at me then because I still have no idea lol

well i did a few things to my truck in the last couple of days.
1. after drilling out and using an easy out ( not that easy,,lol ) i managed to get 3 broken bolts out so i can mount my new Armour plate ( the bit thats plastic in front of the front diff )
i have to tap a new thread in one bolt location due to the amount of drilling was required and i think one of the welded in bolts has come adrift after i did it up tight,, well it arent going anywhere anyway.
2. mounted my new rear view camera to the back of the roof rack ( now have to run the video feed to the lcd rear view screen ).
3. led lights in rear door ready for when i make my door table, i bought these lights ages ago and was going to use them under the driver and passenger seats to give more light around the feet when getting in and out of truck.
4.pulled out all the inside panels in the wagon area ready to re-wire my speakers and to run power cable through for when my 2 nd battery is installed.
5. new starting battery as i killed mine, it was old anyway and my mechanic told me ages ago to change it, took a flat battery to kill it.
6. new uhf antenna.

so its nice to be busy now if the weather will cool down abit i will get in to my RTT to install some led strips in there.

Installed a Reversing Camera on the Van but I have connected it to the Park Lights so it can act as a Rear Vision Camera whilst travelling.
Just pull on the Park Lights and the Camera activates.
No more people sitting up my bum without me knowing. LOL

Forgot to ask Bob ,how does it compare to the last one tow wise??

It only weighs 1260 Kg's fully laden and I have since taken off the back Nudge Bar with Lockers which would take off a further 60 Kg's.

Unless you are going up a steep hill you don't notice it.

Drove it for the first time since October. 450km round trip,
Hit 300,000km too :) it's just run in.

Also picked up a gu turbo block, head, crank and cam.
I got some bonus things aswell with that purchase. A silver top block, 2 cranks, cam, flywheel, zd30 altenator, rd28 starter motor and a td05 turbo. For $500
