Right, just to keep my gargantuan thread ticking along (lmao), this is the plan ... virtually going to be a new build process in its own right, and should take about 3-6 months.

1. Auto box valve body upgrade - December 2011 (includes manual torque lockup switch and temp gauges)
2. Winch - already ordered through Torq4x4 - December 2011
3. Petrol tank back in, new ECU, and bigger injectors - January 2012
4. 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws - January 2012 (thanks Benny!!!)
5. Full dyno and tuning - February 2012
6. 6" Off Road Boss springs and shocks, and drop arms (drop boxes going) - February 2012

That should see it ready for the comp in March ...

7. New seats (front) - whenever
8. New rear windows (solids) - January 2012
9. Full rebuild of the old engine, decompress and refit - when I can afford it
10. New rear bar - still haven't decided if I'll build or buy, but leaning towards build
11. Dual battery system - when I can afford it
12. A BIG facelift - a full respray/paint job ... when I can afford it

Hate the costs, but thoroughly enjoying the process of the continued change of direction for Tank. And yep, eventually it'll get to the point of it being de-registered and being a weekend warrior. Think I'm already pushing 'the friendship' with the boys in blue, so this would see a big target painted on the side I reckon ... then I can get another Patrol (street friendly) to tow it around!!!

Thinking of putting labelling/advertising on it for the forum, Torq4x4, AutoArt Mechanical, etc ... (not looking for sponsorship as such, just figure can't hurt to promote places that have taken care of me and get their names out there ...).
