What did you do to your Patrol today!

[FNQGU]

Fitted a reversing camera and mounted the compressor under the wifes seat so she can have good vibrations.

Ian, any chance you could post a pic of the compressor mounting? I'm debating locations at the moment...

My compressor is a 150 psi no name jobbie bought at the Wodonga show two years ago. The baseplate supplied allow the compressor to be rotated onto its side. I then used a preexisting bracket under the passenger seat and the mounting screw points. it's pretty snug in there but doesn't obstruct the seat operation. not sure if the pic is any good, should have taken it earlier when the seat was out

Not sure where that pic went, was using mobile. I will try again on computer

If you have a smaller compressor, it will fit under there no worries at all

Cleaned the absolute bajeezus out of it... Inside is immaculate now!

Any chance of doing mine Winnie?
It would be appreciated.

It took me from last Wednesday until today to muster up the courage to even start the job, haha.

So........... no

Thanks for that. Yeah, got to decide whether to use the little ARB portable jobbie or leave that alone as it is handy for a number of other things, and buy a dedicated one for this vehicle. If I can hard mount one somewhere then it is one less thing to pack in.

I had a look at that big BOSS PX-07 compressor but it is too large. The smaller PX-02 would probably fit. I already have a 25 litre tank from a truck that I think will now fit in the space where my battery used to be under the vehicle. It is BIGGG, but free, and it is super solid so if I can get it mounted it should be nice and handy. Might need a body lift to accommodate it though...

I had fitted a second fuel filter a long time ago. It is a pain to prime. A mate suggested using a priming pump like an outboard uses.
It works a treat. So does the filter. In the last photo the top is a section the primary filter element below is the dirtiest section of the OEM filter. These are 20000 klm old. I believe good insurance, it is up to me to check the sight glass for contamination.

The hand pump bulb is a ripper of and idea. What pressure is it rated at, or is it under suction at that point?

Took advantage of good weather today, and finished the dual battery system. Was hard finding a spot for the redarc unit so, i made a stand-off bracket, for it, and fitted the fused on top, works a treat and looks neat. Ran 2 twins to the rear, which I'm yet to terminate etc...
