So got the passenger arm done and back in and also torqued up. All my parts turned up yesterday. So turned up a press tool for the panhard bushes and rear control arm bushes. Picked up the injector pump last night as well. All going well I will get that in tomorrow night. Also tonight I replaced front panhard bushes, replaced front sway bar links and bushes, inspected and adjusted front wheel bearings and swapped the wheels over to the factory alloys with the new 265/75/16 Nitto terra grapplers.

Last night was kind of productive. Efforts were hampered by a seized stainless bolt that I had to cut with only a hacksaw blade. I did however get the newly powdercoated springs back in with new insulators. Replaced lower control arm bushes and bolts. This also meant the bent arm got changed out. Didnt get the pump on but I will hopefully get all the engine stuff sorted over the weekend. Will be good if its driveable by tomorrow night. Then it will be slapped on the dyno during the week to see what gains have been had.

Not shown in the photo but i put a couple of zip ties around the strap either side of the top of the window frame , held it secure once the door was unbolted , all up about half hour job , and no more creaking noises when taking off .

So yesterday I got the rear upper control bushes changed and torqued up all the rear control arm bolts (bolts were also replaced). Then went about installing the pump. Installed it, timed it, hooked all the fuel and cables up to it and set the tps. Fitted the new injectors and plumbed up all the lines. Refitted the nice and clean intake manifold. Fitted a new water pump. Fitted new seals on vac pump and installed.

And today. Fitted new drive belts for the ac, power steering and alternator. Fitted a new fan. Externally cleaned the radiator and refitted it. Filled the cooling system. Refitted the batteries and bled injector lines up. Fitted intercooler and run and bled the cooling system. Took it for a drive. Will hopefully get out soon and tackle the wiring.

Sounds like you're aiming to get it on the road for the trip down this Fri/Sat Mat ? :P

Haha. I doubt the patrol will be ready for that trip. Might have to fly and take a different car.
