The roof lining actually just sits up against it in mine. The windscreen seals weren't touched. The sun visor screws and A-pillar hand grips hold it up along with the front interior light / overhead console and rear view mirror.

Ow ok. Maybe different to the gq..
No, but you will need a "no load" electronic flasher can.. Otherwise they flash fast.. Don't go the resistor route, that's just stupid..Quote:

It's what makes the noise when you turn your indicators on. Whalla all doneQuote:

So far I have about 16-20 hours in this.
Luv the protective cover!
Do you have a kevlar helmet, goggles, gloves and safety suit instead?
Got to hate funerals.........
All the best with it

Not today but recently - painted the alloy bull bar in satin black :)
Looks so much better!!
Put my front diff back in, bolted the hubs back in. Crawled under to zip tie the air locker line up, realized I needed another. I slide myself out from under the car and whack! I'm seeing stars. I then remeber that I do have blood that runs through me, and now outside of me too...LOL
Turns out that a tie rod end is tougher than my scone.

Unfortunately, the radiator has been flexing with the movement of the old mounts. Last week I saw that the solder had broken between the top strut and tank, so the core is weeping, the same place as it had done two years ago.
Today, I made a large soldering iron out of a bit of copper pipe, a thin metal rod and a bit of pine for a handle, (no one sells the soldering irons down this way). I used my gas weed burner to heat it. It took a few goes, but the tank is secure, but the core is still slightly weeping. I will put a little bit of chemiweld in to stop it. (I know, I know. It is not great for the engine, but it has worked for over 2 years) It will have to do, until I can afford a new radiator.
Will have to start calling you MacGyver. lolQuote:

Made the usual rear door table with 3 mm alloy ........ looking dam good
Ooh nice have you got pics of the table?
Gday,
Fitted a GU cargo barrier to to the GQ.
Got any pics of how and where it's fixed mate, I've also got a GU barrier but haven't got round to fitting it yetQuote:

I will post some picks tomorrow. The barrier itself fits very well.
The bottom fixing points were no worries. Just had to drill a couple of holes in the bottom strap to suit the couple of threaded holes that are already there.
The top one is only temporarily secured to the top grab handle screw hole for the rear row of seats (if they were there) at the moment. Just need to come up with something a bit more secure, but should not be to hard.
Thanks mate, I know it's been done before but haven't seen how ones been fitted upQuote:

Packed it and put the muddies on for a trip today into the Palmer River goldfields area, and out via the Mailman's Coach Road (aka Maytown Track!) with a mate in his Landrover Defender. He only has a set of Continental AT tyres on, so it will be interesting to see how it goes on all the steep rocks.

Greased up my nipples, replaced water pump and cleaned 30 years of dirt and oil off the head and block. Also discovered an alarming grinding sound when turning hard to the right, it continues for a short while even after the turn! Fack
Refitted the catch can after applying new hoses from the XC falcon heater hose range. Looks factory, but time will tell how long they last. On the manifold size, the hose is a tad too big, but the clamp still squeezed it down, so will see if it holds. The other thing is these hoses apparently don't like oil so will s to see how that goes. Also ran the tap to underneath the guard.

Bummer hope the repair bill isn't too high
In the last month I've rebuilt my front hubs, no great feat . But it taught me how the entire front diff works, as simple as it is the engineering behind it is amazing in terms of how to make a diff near on indestructible. Look for one wheel to completely loose it like the one in the picture one of the king bearings has to have fallen out lol. You can take the cv's out and the hubs will still hold there alignment its the top and bottom king bearing that literally attach it to the diff.

Please by all means those that know more than i do correct me, before you venture on these kinds of trips you should know your car inside and out and have all your maintenance done. This isnt a common problem that happens this is something that would have takin quite some time to develop.
