What did you do to your Patrol today!

[BigRAWesty]

Looks good.

I started to re do the wiring to run full body lights. I've pulled it all out.
I'll be re running the wire from chassis to body and tail lights and chassis in New steel conduit for protection.
It always sounds easy in your mind... And then you start...

Yea it looks bad. For some reason the auto lecky who wired up the trailer plug started from under middle PS door?? So there is 3m of 5core wire from middle of the car to the trailer plug???
Weird.
But why mess with what's started??
Ill tap into this harness for the New lights, splice in the reverse light setup and run it of to either side if the car the split body and bumper from there..
I've completed both chassis to body looms..

well i was going to replace the cheap plastic guard in front of the steering arms with a new one from bush skinz... had a look and noticed the the right hand side that bolts that hold it in place ( and location of new bolts ) are missing their heads.... the left hand side one came off easy ( after lots of wd40 ) but the other bolt twisted off with no effort at all.... so now i am stuck with 3 snapped bolts...Bugger...
i will have to go to the local mechanic to get out as i dont have a drill or easy outs.. once fitted i will post picks

Looking good westy. Where did you get those tail lights?? What is your step 2 for the sound deadening?

Edit: Malgreen, you could try and drill them out. Use a pin punch and knock a mark in the center of the bolt, then use a small drill bit to make a hole the entire way through the bolt. Then go up the next size and repeat, if you're lucky, you won't have to go to big and the bolt will wind it's way into the chassis. Usually it gets to the one size before you start drilling out the thread and it will remove itself.

I'll be doing the closed cell water proof foam for the second layer.

And the lights from patrol a part.

[BigRAWesty]
