Looks very tidy Bigrig. love the colour mate. very nice. Did you get the Snorkel fitted yet?
Thanks for the comments mate. Snorkel is booked in for Tuesday 7th December ... they have to do some jigging with the air box to rip out the original and replace with a retro-fitted one from a VN commodore (mine is cracked from LPG backfire) ... not overly difficult, just fidgety ... probably getting the remote console UHF fitted the same day - under the passengers seat with the handset beside the auto gear lever (mounted on the woodgrain rubbish). I'm going to get them to extend the rear diff breather also so it sits up the front guard with the other diff, gearbox and transfer case - could do it myself, but while they got it they can use the hoist for easier access (only sits in the factory position currently just above the rear cross member - still not protected enough). I'll throw up some more pics when the snorkel is done - not much of a change, but they definitely 'add' to the look of the car as well as the other obvious benefits.
Oh we have woodgrain do we..............very flash matehttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/
Good stuff, if you are getting them to fit the radio then get them to put the base unit up under the dash mate on top of the transmission tunnel up out of the way, there is room there. If you fit it under the seat then you will wreck it quickly the first time you get water in your car, and you likely will. It a little more difficult to fit there but they are fitting it so it aint your problem ;)
The VN airbox will be interesting to see mate, get some before and after pics and post them up. It will save you a fortune on Air Filters running cheap Holden ones. Bonus!! What size is the inlet and outlet pipes on the VN box?? you really want to make sure that your getting at least 3' in and out or it will starve you of power.
I agree that the diff breather extensions are easier to fit on the hoist for sure but make sure they aren't robbing you for the kit mate?? at the end of the day for you to do it it will cost you less than $40 for bits but they may sell you an packaged "breather extension kit" for more than $100 and charge you another $60 to run the hoses. ask them for an idea on the cost of that little mod cause its easy as to do yourself as you say and could save you more than $100 for less than an hour of your time in the driveway.??
Looking good mate
Just open your photo in paint shop or similat and erase the plate and save photo as its original path.1 eg;
