Good turnout MBTD42. Nice to get some fresh air and share good times.
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

Manage to find a bit of time to clean up the old work lights, scratch up and respray...fitted them on the weekend...still got a pile of other LEDs in the shed from the last rig that need some work and wiring bus etc...I havn't worked out what I'm doing for switches yet...there is a marine panel with reset able fuses that has 4 switches in it...might fit that somewhere for the front. The first switch as on off for the lot and the other three to select the pattern.
Here is the start...enough to light up the track for slow night runs for now...Will get the 40 up on the roof once I work out where the wiring will go.
The steering box is starting to get a lil worse of a leak...lost about 100ml in one trip the other week...will have to swap it out before my trip up to Three Springs. Time to clean up the spare and bolt it in.

Gday again...
My old boy just offered me a TC26 turbo off a BJ74 Landcruiser...in good working order...wondering if it would mount to a turbo manifold off the TD42? Flange pin spacing is 70/80. Any ideas out there in the brains trust?

Out in the shed a few weeks ago...
knocked up a new extendable rear light stand and spare wheel spacer...pushed the spare out 30mm (not rubbing any more) and got a couple of my cheapo lights bolted on.
pushed the wires through the existing barn door loom sleeve into the cavity...still need to hook it up once the aux lighting loom is complete.
Also fitted the old 40inch up on the roof...still not hooked up for same reason as before.
Been crook for a few weeks n pretty much no brain power for the whole time...starting to come back to life in the last couple of days. Had a CT scan n the doc recons I got fatty legions growing on my thinka...ones about 6mm round...told me not to stress...off to see a specialist next.
Also busted both my tail lights messing around on a night run a couple of weeks ago...one of me mates was legend enough to let me have a set of his...so thats sorted easy enough...think I will be cutting the top out of the bumperettes to stop it from happening again untill the quarters gets chopped n rear barred up.
Still nothing has been done inside the rig...will get to it soon enough.
Some pics of the progress...

Headed out with our club... Quaddrive 4wd club...embarked on some exploring of the Marrinup area around Dwellingup WA.
Was keen to check all the changes that had occurred over the years as I had not been back there for at least 8 years.
The weather wasnt the best but I managed to position the rig in a good spot to get a small roast on the fire for the family on day 2.
The place boasts free camp areas and a mountain bike trail straight from the camp grounds...there is a historic POW camp to explore but we didnt gget around to going in.
We managed to get all the rigs sunk in a muddy creek crossing while exploring some older trails, a couple of the others tried to find some iconic trails but couldnt pin point them even with GPS waypoints. We found some cool lil offshoots but only have moving footage of those.
All up a good weekend away with the family.

Beaching with the crew...no fish but a few recoveries in the soft sand...mostly tire pressure...my snatchy got to stretch a few times but mostly TRED work was successful...Fish creek hut and Moores hut along Coodamurrup beach and then out over Gardener river.
