Managed to fit my winch cradle onto the chassis rails :o
Just need to sorta out winch and control box mounting :D
Put new sponge in the drivers seat,used that memory foam stuff, seat is like a big old comfy armchair now.
Plus it all works when I put it back together, which is not the norm for me when I touch anything electrical.
Managed to ruin two of my brand new Mickey Thompson tyres tonight. Not happy one bit!

Was helping a mate get out of the bog and on the way back down the track must have swiped something and it put a hole in my two driver side tyres. Even worse the same thing happened to me mate. Both drivers side tyres.
Bummer.. steel picket or something..?

Yer I think it was. One of me mates tyres had something in it but was to dark and mud bloody every where.
Will suss out all the damage properly in the morning.
Replaced the dual mass clutch (with less than 10,000kms on it) to a solid mass......
Sat in the drivers seat and pondered where to mount my birthday presents that arrived today, the ones I bought before the dollar dropped from Auberins USA.

Fish oiled the gq roof insides. Easy job, just removed all the oh sh1t bars, driver and passenger sun visors and a bolt from the rear barn door latch and I had an easy entry point to poke a fogging want into. Nice and oily now and will let it sit all weekend to dry.
Drove it for the last time to work before the tear down.. it starts tonight..
First up, the whole front diff out.. due to limited WS space I figure its easier.. working at a nice height, and I'm pitting longer brake lines in anyway..

It was very easy track with soft red mud with some wet spots. It was fun and a bit slippery going back up the hill.

Might even replace the solenoids too.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Changed the fuel filter , and thought might as well clean the thimbal filter in the pump as well , turns out it has been removed time to order a new one tomorrow ,
Didn't do anything to it today, but noticed today after I fished oiled the roof the other day, the oil had seeped down the front windscreen channels and rubber section and down the rear window rubber sections. If anywhere needs corrosion protection it's these areas that don't really get anything. Oil is nice and tacky. Happy days!
Loosely wound the cable onto the winch so its not hanging around the garage, will do a proper spool on when time permits :)
Put a new turbo on it with the help of George. Well, he did it and I watched and learned really. Great guy, really!
If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
How's it go Chris? How it sound!!Quote:

Noticed the valves pinging a little, under hard acceleration, so I backed off the timing 4 degrees, and now it goes like a cut cat, dragging a brick, as per RB30 norm:)
In cabin manual boost controller installed, Chucked a switch on my driving lights to finish them off as well.
Replaced the Fan belt tensioner assembly on my ZD30 02 Patrol and chucked on a new belt too. (No more squealing now, thank christ lol)
Finally starting to put all the bolt on's in place..picked up the bullbar today...started late with putting in the 2' lift with new KM2's and so only got the front done ..ended up having to finish it by torch light !!
Rear to be done tomorrow , superior panhard rod and bullbar ..starting to morph from stock to a truck...gotta love the look of 33's on it.
Mate lucky it's just the belt and not the dreaded grenade squeal!Quote:

Looks like you mean business westy.
Had a win in the annoying rattles in cabin department. Applied silicone the top of the windscreen dimister ducts, which sit underneath the dash. Also used silicon on the ducting system underneath the dash, where lots of the ducting meets the external ducting, there's a join that has foam to take up the slack. Over 20 years of use and this foam is a little worse for wear. But the silicone does a good job of stopping the two joins making aweful noise when driving. Also applied a little lube to the steering column and the car just feels more solid. It's a nice feeling when the car doesn't rattle and make aweful noises.
Also found a hole where the firewall joins the floor on both passenger and driver side. Looks like it came from factory with it. All sealed now. Was wondering why sometimes on wet days the floor felt damp... If anyone needs clarification on what I siliconed I'll be happy to explain in detail.
Yea that's the next thing on the list. Stripping the interior and sound proofing.
