Good to hear the new engine is doing its thing!

Bit the bullet today.

I've been having problems mounting the recovery points from threedogs onto my patrol due to the mounting points for the existing (useless) alu bull bar. I've admitted defeat and ordered a bull bar that _will_ work with the recovery points and I crawled under a GU with the same bar to prove it.

Also ordered a winch and LED light bar while I was at it. Hopefully I can put it all together next weekend

To quote my Wife today.. 'The Wheels aren't big enough'.

I think thats permission for 33's

Busy starting to bolt it together. Im sure the winch will be reinstalled several times before im done.

I dont like the power at the front, not sure if spooling from the bottom of the drum would be an issue if i rotate the winch 180 degrees to put the power to the back.

Also managed to mount the outback ideas recovery points.

Installed the new bar, looks so much better than the alloy

Still need to

*wire indicators/parkers/fog lights
*install and wire spotty's
*reinstall antenna mounts
* notch put the bash plate to allow for the recovery points.

on problem is the fair lead that came with the winch is a few mm too large to install into the slot behind the number plate... Hopefully i can get a slightly smaller fair lead.

Hmm no update in ages.. Too busy enjoying the car

Finally did the 4wd training and glad i did, learnt lots and found the car is more capable as is than all the 4wd mags and shows would have you believe.

I do need to reterminate the spotty wiring, damn crimp lugs didnt take the vibrations. Serves me right for not soldering the buggers.

The only mod im considering now is ripping out the LPG and going to a long range tank. Ill wait till next year when the inspection is due, but with the lpg usage and associated costs it simply isnt worth it for the km i drive ( weekend car).

And roof bars... And...

Ok, So is it possible that im driving too conservatively and burning more LPG as a consequence?

Just did a 200km round trip to wyong on 1/2 a tank if lpg... Thats a first, usually 1/3 per 100km. The only difference is i didnt even try to be conservative and just enjoyed the ride...
