    Today I plan on changing my bonnet struts and then maybe fitting my awning.
    Maybe even drill some holes in the bullbar for some bulls eye 9watt DRLs.
    Then again it could all go pear shaped. lol

    Edit; Bonnet struts done should have done it years ago lol

    What did you do to your Patrol today!

    Nothing like that, unfortunately. The LEDs are only on the red brake lights. Reverse and indicator lights are standard bulbs. Not an expensive swap, so I'm not concerned about it.

    The only problem that I ran into was that since this is a European model, there are no wires for the reverse or indicator lights on the right-hand side (drivers side for you Aussies). When I get more time, I'll try to figure out how to rewire those in so I have a full working set.

    I took the covers off
    both upper front spring
    mounts and washed out the damp
    dirt on Wednesday. After rinsing
    them out a couple of times,
    using a coarse brush,
    I treated them with Feronite.
    I coated them with an
    anti-chip paint, yesterday
    and put the covers on today.
    I urge you all to check under
    the plates after any off road
    driving and every couple of
    months as rust had already
    set in.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    STD our rear lights dont work, we only have one T20 reverse globe.
    I've put 68 smd White globes behind the red and amber len's.
    You can buy a kit to wire up the "dummy" lights but you have to drill new holes to accept new globe sockets.
    I think they use Ford twist / lock globe sockets
    Some PPL wire them up as extra indicators, but I thought reverse would suit my needs better.
    Our lights are in those plastic bumperettes, avoid putting red globes behind red len's.
    I only paid $4 not much more for my globes and still going strong 5 or so years later.
    Every globe is LED except the front OE amber one, I couldn't find one bright enough for daylight use.
    Plus indicators have 50ohm resistors on all 4 globes to stop the fast flash

    Radius arm bushes... fun.

    Early start dropping Erica off for high school testing then past Mudski's to remove old bushes and fit new ones then home to install...

    A pleasure to drive now with no knocking noises.

    Another job off the list
