What did you do to your Patrol today!

[megatexture]

Went into superior and bought some coil retainers and drop out cones now to work out what length shock to get, cant wait

[Hodge]

Nearly doused it in petrol and set the f'in thing on fire out of frustration. Melbourne 33C today, driving home around 4pm was so frustrating. Felt like a slug, with 5 tonnes of anchors being dragged behind it. Air con off and I even took it easy. Taking off at some lights, I even contemplated putting in 4-low to get it moving.
EGT's are as per usual, temp gauge sitting on exactly half like always, yet it absolutely hates being driven when warm, and in turn I hate driving it when warm. Don't know whats going on.
Rant over. Time for a beer.

time to check the fan hub and clean the radiator methinks she may be semi limp mode due to getting hot. temp gauge is notorious for not being accurate.

Yeh gonna do that, as well as fit the catch can and clean out the IC this weekend me thinks. My trol is formerly of Coober pedy according to the books, so all that dust and hot weather probably cooked it already.
When you say the gauge is inaccurate, is it the gauge faulty or the sender?? Would a proper pod gauge be more accurate?

Yeh mate it's just the crap setup, a digital or aftermarket one would be better, I'm looking at a digital gauge myself.

Inter cooler not cooling the air down properly. Might need a fan on it

After having a towbar on my troll for 3 months, I finally got around to hooking up the trailer harness to it.

Service and grease today. Then filled the back of the wagon with house reno rubbish to take to the tip.

[mudski]

ditch the shitty scoop hodge. They catch no air at all.

Used it again , took the family to mt tamborine glow worm caves and markets , ended up at orielys , and home down duck creek road , seems we are spending more time 4wd touring than fishing and boating !
How does this happen ? Lol
