Gave the underbody a squirt with fish oil. Smells lovely now. Also rubbed the battery tray back and sprayed some rust converter.i was expecting holes, but it isn't that bad.

Towed a 7 x 5 trailer around the bush & cut 9 loads of firewood. Thought some of the slopes might've bit slippery in places (clay) but the new tyres took it in their stride. Pulling away on a steep hill with a full load of firewood in tow is a pleasure with the Patrol, it makes such easy work of it.

Continued working on my carpet for my drawers in the back :)

Spent two and a half hours cleaning the 4day old mud just from under the wheel arches, I gave up 3/4 done and sent it go the Indian car wash place to do the rest.
@ Mego one day I'll give mine a birthday and get full detail inside and out.
Safari snorkel and my arb compressor arrived so, spent an hour drawing up a plan how and where I'll install it and how to route cables etc... Will be interesting! Right next to the dual battery tray it goes, on the firewall side.
Did you get up to the top part of the slate mine? Its nice and tricky trying to get back down...Quote:

I'm going out that way in two weeks for a "boys weekend".
Ordered a snorkel for Nev the mighty "U"
Installed keyless entry/alarm and had to fit up a drivers door actuator.
not much today but changed over the head unit yesterday to a 2 din jobby and had to "basterdise" an SD card to get mapping to work from another GPS unit I had after I lost the original mapping SD. Numerous times head was banged against table and one's wife decided to laugh her ar$e off at one's self banging said head....grrrrr
At leat mapping works
A good wife will do that.
Haven't you got a snorkel for Nev? Thought you did...Quote:

@ Mudski was going to get a satin finish stainless snorkel , but cant justify the expence. Would look awesome against my colour.
Anyway today I brought some upholstery dye in a spray can and sprayed the centre console lid, colour is like a green/grey slate
so darker than OE, Looks good as its a contrast to the light grey. Now for ash tray lid ETC, ETC LOL
I'll put a pic up tomorrow.
@ Florix it only rained once today lol
That reminds me, yesterday I saw a GU that had red leather seats and had painted all the dash and everything red too, it actually looked not too bad.Quote:

Didn't fit initially and I still have one bolt not lining up properly.
Wouldn't have been able to do it single handed without Irish's engine crane delivered to my door by BloodyAussie. Great stuff. Thanks guys!
