Wiring stuff into individual switches on a switch panel, conduting some cable I run out of time to do 3 weeks ago, fitting a relay and some super bright led lights for reverse lights also on a switch and just a general tidy up of the wiring that was on it when I bought it.
That ALWAYS takes longer than you think....did that last weekend!
Very satisfying job though to see it all neatly rewired and conduited.
Nice one!

well Ive parked our old Patrol in the drive way for a well deserved break from towing my trailer all over the country.
He will be given a full freshen up before being designated our "get-away" Patrol.
now dont laugh too much, but here's what we introduced to take the load off,,,,
1989 F250 5lt auto, extractors, big bore exhaust, a/c, ps.
Runs lpg with dual lpg tanks and dual fuel tanks so we have an awesome range.
The most surprising thing, after having covered 7500k's in the last two weeks, this F250 costs $2.00 per hundred k's less to run then our old 4500 Patrol on gas!
Like I said, dont laugh too loud I have feelings you know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Glad to see you have come over from the dark side Bigfella,
Fancy seeing you drive a FORD. Nice truck mate, big fan of the F250's

Yo Bigfella sitting under that Lux in my front yard is a 120ltr gas tank doing nothing if you want to increase range.
3/4 full of gas ATM too. If you want it its yours nada of course
Did nothing to it again as running fantastic, might have found a place to get Dynoed over Deerpark way. leave it with me.
