Lucus30's suprise GU patrol

[lucus30]

Thought id jump on here and put an update on as I've been doing little bits and pieces as i go.

I've done a few days trips around Powelltown and over the long weekend I hit up jerusalem creek ( Eildon) and did a few tracks

Here is what i've done so far

- New stereo
- New speakers
- Swapped over to LED interior lights
- Smashed side door flare off with a log ( Whoops)

Car is due to have a bit of TLC in the form of a service this weekend. Will be changing all fluids, spark plugs, filters etc

Also I have bought the following but yet to fit them.

285 75 R16 Mudstar tyres
OME 2 inch lift kit with steering damper and swaybar brackets
Dual front recovery points
Got some hose to extend the diff breathers

Hopefully get some of it done this weekend. I want to fit the lift kit before i get the tyres fitted

Time for an update. I've fitted my 2inch OME springs and shocks, steering damper, rear sway bar extensions a few weeks ago.

After result



Also this morning as a pre wedding gift to myself I fitted my harris hard nose and hard case

Was my birthday yesterday and the fiancee surprised me with a GU. Very happy camper here!!!
I had no idea she organised it all herself.

Now I just need her to approve the mods I want ha ha

Ok I've put a dual battery system and battery box in the rear of the wagon for my fridge. I think that's the latest update.

Also I've noticed I'm getting a clunk in the driver's side while going over speed bumps just need to find it. Going to undo front sway bar soon and check them

Get someone to bounce the car via front bar while your under it..

Could be a few different things.
Body mounts, springs, radius arm bolts or sometimes panhard bolts.
Use a screw driver to touch metal objects like springs etc and you'll feel the Clunk threw it..
