I just notted off on the car.
If I could I'll be asleep.
And no I'm not driving....
Picked up a couple of shifters from Sydney Tools to help me with a few jobs.

@ Apollofish can you decifer these stamps,
positive both are alloy too
Hi TD,
The first number will be the month tested and the last number the year tested. Number in the middle will be the test station.
Looking at these Oct 2007 and Feb 2008.
Any ideas on what you plan to do with them yet?
Ideally I would love to carry compressed air for my tyres,Quote:

Finished off my wiring for the two Redarc gauges. Cuppa, if your reading this, all sorted mate. Mental note to self. RTFM! Twice.
Also cleaned up a little ready to ship the troll off to the workshop tomorrow.

Today I bought new kingpin spacers for the front end as well as a new drive-shaft for the passenger side (driver's side for you Aussies). One of the previous owners apparently removed the kingpin spacers for some weird reason and he also never checked his front driveshaft bearings. it was completely dry - no grease in it whatsoever so it was partially seized up and destroyed from lack of lubrication.
One of many things I'm now finding out about the vehicle. No big deal. At least I know what I have now and that things are done right.
Redarc Tow Pro

I remember reading about doing that, but that just serves as a quick fix and doesn't address the root problem. From my understanding, the real solution was to replace the kingpin bearings? I'll have to try to dig up that thread or find where I read that. Is there something else I should do to prevent the death wobble?Quote:

Na, just something that's nice to drive and tows well :wink:
Nice Rod. Definitely gonna be different. not sure on the snorkel myself yet. I like the 4inch pipe setup but after reading a few peoples thoughts, if you have the pax window open, its quite noisy....Quote:

I've heard that too, but I've also heard the ones that face backwards are louder as the finish right on top of the window opening ... Well that what I'm clinging to anyway :eek: I'm getting one with a forward facing ram head on it, so it'll look just like a Safari one only a tad thicker when you get a bit closer to it.

That's what's happening, 4" all the way.Quote:

No, forward facing for me. It's a Radius Snorkle. Hoping it'll look something like this, only a series 4 though...

So bought this a couple of weekends ago.

89 Jayco dove.. and you can tell
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...015/08/114.jpg
But it's lifted and running 31" tyres so it's a good start.
Usable now but a do'er'uper.
Headed out last weekend and had the winch output shaft snap so that was a turn around and repair job.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...015/08/115.jpg
Heading out again tonight. Hopefully a more successful trip lol..
A caravan Westy, you are getting soft.
Better not let my misses see this or she will be nagging me to get one.
Holy shoit! I thought someone took a pic of my car! Lol.Quote:

Yea mate. Been using the camper trailers and really there just as much stuffing around, if not more, than the straight tent.Quote:

Heaps of storage room, heaps of sleeping room. Reasonable capable (will be once I'm done anyway) and a good price.
If we do wanna get off off road we'll still tent it.
Thats the latest style,for the GU's its a big piece they cut out, I,ve seen them up closeQuote:

Can I be rude and ask what you paid, ball park is ok
That's awesome Kallen, well done mate.
That's the sort of thing that I wanted but Amy refuses to sleep in those suspended beds.
gotta love those sexy jayco interiors, looks in good nick westy with some extra goodies ;)Quote:

Nice work Westy, I did a similar thing. If it means getting the wife and family out with me a bit more then its worth it in my books.Quote:

Yea first point of call is brake upgrade and electric brake setup, coupled with an extended draw bar, front tool box for annex, poles, Porta loo etc and a poly block (or ad I call it a treg) hitch.Quote:

Nice one Katnip, great pick up, just the sort of thing I've been looking at too..... just makes things so much easier with the family. But its a ways off yet seeing as we're still pretty new to the tenting side of things. Still, no harm in looking hey.[emoji6]Quote:
