Yellow should match to a indent on the rim . Cheap rims probably won't have it .genuine rims do .
One of the fist things I learnt hanging out in the old man's work shops as a kid .

Thats really interesting, thanks. I have noticed those dots before but never knew why they were there.

What the??
Just checked mine and I see no dots of any colour (Mickey Thompson MTZs) and no indents on genuine Patrol steelies (obviously couldn't see below lead weights though). Checked inside and out.

Usually stick with Nissan OEM parts but....... nearly $2,000 AUD for a set, bugger that!!
$169 per side from Patrolapart for ‘Roadsafe’ aftermarket brand will have to do
Keeping the old OEM ones onboard for spares if ever needed out there or if the aftermarket ones explode, hopefully not

Nice. I replaced mine a while back too. NTM branded CV’s which is what the OEM ones are for a 1/4 of the OEM price.

Ok this is strange. Yesterday I lost my dashboard temp gauge. No reading. So i arced up the NDS on the android head unit via the nisbie and it was giving me accurate water temps via the ECU. Disconnected the battery overnight. Drove it this morning, temp gauge not reading but NDS giving real results. Had a closer look and found a temp sensor on the drivers side of the zd30 with a broken wire. Reattached it and the gauge now works. So..... WHERE THE FUK IS THE ECU GETTING ITS WATER TEMP READINGS FROM?

Today, I picked up and fitted a Tigerz11 Grande 12,000lb winch, and over the past few weeks I have fitted a genuine steel winch bar, rated recovery points to the front, make and installed a table for the rear door, fiited LED lights over the table and into the awning, and last but not least fitted a rear work light.

Decided to start on the installation of the Boss rear Coil brackets after work stalled today. launched into the drivers side at 11am, crawled out at 3pm, what a fiddly job it turned into. There are two bots that need to be undone that hold the brake lines I am guessing, so the 4 mounting bolts can be installed in the top plate. On the garage floor, could not get the nuts undone, so drilled them out. Found I actually had a 50mm coil spacer on top of the 300kg Dobinson coil - forgot it was there, so out that came as well as a Firestone 'in coil' airbag.
All back together on drivers side, sitting down a fair way, have not inflated the BOSS triple airbags yet but think a trip down to Dobinsons in Dandenong in the new year to get another set of rear coils, heavier and longer. Tomorrow i plan to do the pass side as its supposed to be a lot easier than the drivers side. Beautiful simple bracket, well presented kit and instructions including the engineering certificate, happy days.
Bonnet still sitting there waiting for my attention - maybe after Xmas.
