Bought and paid for a snorkel, plus fitment to day. Nothing like pulling your finger out after eight years or so.

New gas struts for the bonnet, so now I can do away with the broom stick. Miracles happen when the finger is out.

I find extracting my digit allows better oxygen flow to my brain. Getting off my arse has the same beneficial effect!

As long as it`s only a digit and not the whole hand of fingers. That`s another subject all together and comes under the heading of fisting. Any way, the struts work a treat.

Ha ! I just put a new set in mine last week , then I did a ceremonial goodbye to the piece of plastic pipe I'd been using to prop it up for a while .

I wish they had put a metal prop to hold up the bonnet instead of the gas struts and I was thinking of how to go about it. I kept the old original gas struts and the new ones weren`t cheap, but at least it`s better than the broom stick.

Yeah I was looking at put an old style fold away metal arm aswell but ran out of time ( & patience) so bought new struts , mine were only about $20 a pair so I'll see how long they last .

Simple enough to do, take a measurement with your bonnet up,
armed with that info take a trip down to the wreckers and find
a suitable rod to suit.

Nice! My exhaust/guages both rolled up yesterday. Ive fitted the exhaust, just the pod/guages to go. Any tips for installing the pod/guages?

Lashed out and bought a Tracklander flat roof rack. Spent about a month looking at all sorts of racks from expensive & well known to cheap & unknown. The only rack I couldn't find a bad word spoken about was the Tracklander.

Here's how I've mounted mine, plus a few extra on top of the dash

These make fitting to boost gauge easy,

They look good mate..
Did you get the spring top plate res mount too or you going to mount elsewhere?
Also did you get the valved to suit your front end weight before they sent them out?

Cool cool..
I have read they are set to suit stock weights.
So hopefully it'll be able to get firm enough when loaded..

I'm guessing the boot simply clamps to the mono tube?

True and it is empty all over again. Just about to fill it for another round. A simple 12y glenfiddich single malt.

Edit: problem solved

So you buy it in a bottle to pour into a bottle then into a glass, why not just drink from the first bottle and be done with it.

I bought a bottle of 18yo Glenlivet a while back. OMG! A total orgasm in the mouth! The real single malt you can enjoy truely without mixing it with anything. But, I would want to be drinking this stuff like its water. Cost $125'ish a bottle.

I've only once brought a bottle of scotch that was over $100 and it was for a gift. It was something similar 18 yo single malt. I'm going to have to go over and help myself to a little taste at least.

I bought a 24 year old bottle of single malt Glenfiddich in 1981 at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Edinburgh Scotland. It's a presentation bottle in a metal picture box. I remember it costing me about 65pound. A lot of money then. Came close to opening it once, but intend to drink it with my son on his wedding day.
