I’m happy with the rear carrier I made too.

Put some new H4’s in. Hopefully better than the candles I had burning before.

These are the ones I've been using since I've owned Patrols (11 years?). Can rate them highly for vision and very long lasting too.

My recommendation, after using higher wattage bulbs in the GU – go straight to Stedi copperhead LED bulbs. You will not regret it.

So as of late the kettle has been boiling faster than usual.
So I’ve removed the fan, hub, water pump, radiator, thermostat fans and power steering cooler, and all the old foam seals. Time for a big clean out and overhaul.
There’s a lot going on in front of the radiator.

Everything’s out. The JPC high flow water pump is finally back in.


Both thermo fans are off and I pressure washed the a/c condenser out. I washed it from the engine side to the outside. The roller door the Patrol was parked I. Front of copped a few bug from the condenser.

The parasitic current draw is back! I go to start the Patrol yesterday after being parked for 2 weeks and the battery is completely dead. The hunt is back on.

God! Time to start pulling fuses!

Mark, this device might be a bit less cumbersome, I bought a cheapie like this and a more expensive unit - I also have some leaks and plan to dive into root cause as well.

The more expensive unit I sourced from the UK has a higher amp value, circa 80amp from memory but this parasitic load is going to be easility handled by this cheper unit provided it has the resolution I guess
