What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Clunk]

Stage one of operation wash cars.......... step one, got the power washer out, crawled underneath the MightyGQ and blasted away, then on the the outside to wash off all the loose dust n dirt before getting the sponge out........ then coffee break

And check your escape route cause if the breaker bar slips you could be in a whole world of pain

Use open hands and the correct technique and this can be greatly reduced.

Was a very funny letter from a reader of 4WD monthly years ago, , for some reason
he had the front wheel off his GQ and was sitting in the cavity with a hammer, what ever he hit it rebounded hitting his head.
so he threw his head back hitting the inner guard bang then pushed his head forward hitting his forehead, which caused him to throw his head back you get the picture this continued till his brain stopped rattling and he came to a halt, He cracked a beer and PHSL

Motor in, loom all connected and running. Finally!

Just a few more things to do. Replace the clutch slave cylinder (one of the apprentices that was helping me jumped in and pushed the clutch in, while the slave cylinder was not connected to the clutch fork, and this has the pushrod all the way out of the slave cylinder) replace the starter motor and alternator (The ones from the donor motor aren't much chop) install the 2" lifted springs from the donor. Install the bonnet , front grille and lights.

After six months of the engine not running and sitting on my back porch, it fired up second go and no clouds of smoke and no leaks either! Not bad for an IT engineer.

Thanks to Rust Nail and Todd for their assistance earlier this year and helping me pull my engine out.

Woo Hoo! nearly ready for rego.

Long bar and a heavy rubber mallet

Extended the rear diff breather. Ran it up to the front. I went up the drivers side to stay away from the exhaust and cat converter with a rubber hose, is this what everyone else does. Just terminated it with a miniature in line fuel filter. I ran the hose behind the wiper motor, this gave me a nice radius on the hose to allow the breath to point back tow at the ground.

Might do the front 3 tonight, they're pretty high as it is, so not as much to gain and therefore lower in the priority list..

Finished off my rear door table on the weekend.







Pretty happy with how it came up

Also extended my rear diff breather last night, might do the the other 3 tonight but they're pretty high up anyway.

Hooked up the led lights today and fitted some bilstien shocks. Pretty happy with the LEDs.
