I think I paid around the 130 mark off eBay, without postage mind you. This was for the rears.
Fronts are a little more, but not by much.

Thanks mate, do you remember who the seller was and where you happy with the service from them?

Cheers

This was the seller. Didn't have any dramas and postage was quick. Id recommend to anyone.

Lots done on the patrol lately. Might be doubling up here but I'll list the latest additions. Rear spring hats are now reinforced with the superior engineering kit, have installed remote central locking/alarm, new 9" spotlights, 50w led brake headlights, ditched the rtc damper and have just a regular damper now. Much better steering feel IMO. Catch can installed, oil cooler re-sealed, new copper/brass adrad radiator, body mounts replaced and lots more I can't remember.






Am toying with the idea of giving the patrol a repaint, but isn't a priority at the moment.

Which 9" lights did you go??

[Parksy]

Got them free off eBay. 55w hid units. Not bad, time will tell how well they cope.

How did you find fitting the strengthening kit, Parksy?

Was alright, I did it in the shed while on jacks which made it harder. Access is quite tight and getting the bolts to start in the brace was interesting, but all successful in the end. But surprisingly, the brace does just slide into place, no body lift required. I honestly thought that I'd have to jack the body up. But all good.

Has been a busy day today, removed all the dash last night and proceeded today by removing all the cracked ceramic insulation and installing fatmat insulation.
Dash removal


Heater core removed. I left the aircon hooked up for obvious reasons, but the unit was unbolted so I could work behind it fairly easily.

Getting there...


And the nightmare begins putting it all back together again...


But all completed now and I can't believe that I had no screws left over. Happy days! Was also a good opportunity to clean all the ducting and aircon/heater core.
The difference in sound level is night and day. Vast improvement over the old setup. Will stock up on more of this fatmat and do the rest of the truck.
