Awesome spot for the side lights mate, love it!
So i have neglected this build thread but been giving it a bit of time over the last month.
I desperately needed to sort out the back 9f the car. There was some very sh1t wir8ng into the back i couldnt leave. When working through it simply could not fix it so ripped the lot out ans started again. Scarey bad, some of it done by a much younger me.
Im really happy with how its come up. Safe. Organised. Fresh. Correct.

Fuse box on the right and some USB points on the left.

I mounted a new reverse light from LEDLightCo. Love it.

Now i need to figure out storage for the back. I will be making some emu wings for the side windows eventually.
Storage platform above the spare.

The straps failed damn it. I couldnt get my hands in so have bailed on them
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/10/279.jpg
I wanted to be able to store stuff in the spare tyre so wanted access to it. So hinged lids to the middle and the outside.

Then it was time. I have spent alot of time thinking about how im going to get power to the roof light. This was the only way to go.

I need to put one more gland in for the side lights next weekend.

Thanks mate. Tek screws rock mate. They do their job very well. There is a big dob of silicon under that Anderson plug too. Every industrial factory on the planet is clad using tek screws. Wind rating and all. They work good mate.Quote:

Externally sealed and into somewhat controlled internal environment[emoji106] Roof sweaty cavity a little unsure Daz mate? We’ve honestly had issues in our game with penetrations on the under side rusting up/outwards -posts etc...

Yeah i put a big dab of silicon under it and up through the holes. If you zoom in you can see also that the top of the Anderson Plug is covered in silicon over the top of the tek screws too. They are fully encased. They will be fine. No doubt at all.Quote:

Most of them are there but some are missing.
Yes if you remember you did the upload for me cause I’m a nuffy. I think you only really did the CV Rebuild album to get that thread back. So not all teh albums where uploaded. I note also that Most of teh Thanks received for the first few pages of this the=read are no longer showing? I don’t really care but it is a little odd.Quote:

Stoked to get these things done. They have been doing my head in.
Might have started a couple of grass fires....
First up the winch Dildo for the 24v setup. These really do make a huge difference when spooling in a 24v highmount. They fly and these take the slack safely.

Mud flaps. Need mudflaps but want 5hem removable. So a fair bit of thought and they will be a 1 bolt removal and a second tube will go in to act as a brace when there is no mudflaps in the bush. Going to be awesone.
I had to cut this off and finish it off.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/02/24.jpg
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/02/25.jpg
I made the end plates and welded captured nuts in place

All painted up and ready for the mudflaps.
So these plates will be welded to the chassis with the stub of inner tube.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/02/31.jpg
The outer ring is welded to some angle iron to hold the mudflap.

The passenger side was a bugger because of the factory exhaust mount in the way damn it. Flipped and sorted.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/02/69.jpg
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/02/70.jpg
Removable.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/02/71.jpg
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/02/72.jpg
So i decided i wanted to make an alternate brace bar to mount when offroad so a side hit will have some support.

While i had the welder out i also made the bump stop plate bigger as when i e tended them years ago i made it too small and the bumps slipped off the side.
Easy fix while the wheel was off.
90x90 angle welded on top of the box i welded on last time.

Sweet, how will the exhaust go scrubbing wise with the 37s. . Looks like they scrubbed a little on the bend, mine do with a bit of flex. . Pretty easy fix if need be i guess. .

Little more done today.
Fitted the XR seat to the drivers side using Hurricane adapters. Unfortunately i found the seat mounts had some stress fractures and also the previous guy had ground down the front pins so i had to drill them out of both seats ans replace with bolts. They were hardened and took some bloody drilling.
Drivers seat in. Passenher seat ready to bolt in but i have more work to the centre console first.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/03/115.jpg
Drilled another penetration through the roof for the side lights and finished that loom. Pretty happy with it.

Installed the Centre Console.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/03/121.jpg

I think its been asked. But whats the bilge pump switch for? Just incase you decide to park in a river?
I have installed a bilge pump under both front seats. Hoses run up the inside of the B Pillar and pump out of the B Pillar just above glass height.Quote:
