Tonight attempted a barn door fix to keep it open, and some heat shrink to try and stop the barn door squeaks, fingers crossed.

just received my spartan front locker $370 delivered now to fit it up.
Mounted my front mount intercooler and little cooler for power steer now going out to cut holes for piping. After a few beers ofcourse:rolleyes:

I tapped that app...
that looks perfect mudski, great job.
Thanks mate. Let us know how the locker goes. I have in mind to get an air locker but the price of an auto in very tempting.Quote:

Justdifferentials.com are also quite good. I have been procrastinating on buying a Detroit locker for the front of the Q.Quote:

Yeh I was looking elocker but unless you are doing hardcore all the time I just thought for $370 plus fitting cheap as chips and there are quite a few guys over here are running them without issues!
Got my new digital gauges in today. They can either be Blue or Red and can be wired up to switch to either color at night - When lights are turned on.
Sorry about the glare in the pic. Will get some tonight to see how it looks with my blue LED dash
Dark shot of the dash. Love it !!
do you have measurements for this? keen to do it! got some time in the next few weeks!Quote:

I tapped that app...
Fitted up the rear barn door extension bracket this morning
Took the driver side door trim off to see if I can fix my window from coming down by itself. Got the trim off, looked at it, had a couple of "wife beaters", shut the door and went inside.
had the spartan front locker installed today and had a mounting bracket fabricated for the provent.
I'm keen to see what you think of this locker Stropp.
So you'll be following the GQs up some of those gnarly tracks now Stropp?????Quote:

Picked up my Stainless Steel rear barn door panels and water tank. big day tomorrow
Bahhhh! I got home with my new restored leather steering wheel. Took mine off and the damn air bag plug and horn plug is different. What a way to kill the excitement...
Time for a beer and think!Quote:

Console looks good mate but one thing though, how can you steer when the steering wheel is on the passenger side??????? :D:D:DQuote:

Successfully fitted a UHF radio to the Patrol & yes I did power it directly from the battery, with an aditional fuse close to the battery terminal. Got it all in, battery reconnected, went to switch it on for the first time .....nothing! A tad disheartening to say the least! several pokes to the/on of button ....still nothing. Eventually, & before pulling the whole thing out again, I discovered by accident that on off is not just a simple click, but rather the button has to be held on for a second or two......phew! Even though I was parked inside a corrugated iron shed with the bonnet up blocking the antenna from the only open side of the shed I got a truckie talking to his mate about a load he's picking up tomorrow in my ear (Also fitted an extension speaker to the top of the plastic seatbelt cover just inches from my right ear). I thought that was pretty good seeings I'm also 30kms from the nearest town/highway.
