You get the idea

;)

I reckon you would be due for a filter change after the last couple of weeks


Sure we're mate. I'm still guttered that about the mechanic snagging the rubber filter edge when the last service was done. That dust trail up the side of the air box lid made me a little angry!!!

NTBB sold me on the Uni Filter when I had a look at his rig. I got the full kit with a three pkt of the 'droopie' type pre filters for those dusty SA conditions.

I fitted an anderson plus at the rear next to the trailer plug. Now ready to pull the boat.

Also found out canopy is in stock. Can't wait for that bad boy.

Rotated the tyres.... 9500km, first time the wheels have been off and a wheel stud snaps :evil: :evil: :evil: NOT HAPPY!!!! Will be standing at Eagers doorstep Monday morning when they open.
It wouldn't be like this if it was different.

Had to put the stock wheels and tyres back on. The cut in the sidewall of one of the ATZ's started to leak.

A tyre with 50% tread left in the bin. The front two are sawtoothed as the alignment was out 9 deg...

With three out of four tyres needing replacing it hasn't been a good day.

One positive though with the stock hoops back on it actually goes, turns and stops now !!!

Taking off from the lights I've got to back off sooner as on a couple of times today it hit 80km/h. I'd forgotten how much the 33's took out.

I'm thinking a new set of Cooper ST MAXX in 265/75 x 16 will be going on very soon.

Ultimates raised comfort kit is in. Made a hell of a difference just coming outta the drive way so can't wait to get the alignment done and put it to the test. Easiest kit I've ever installed to anything

Haven't driven mine for 2 weeks, took her out today and found the carpet on the drivers side was dripping wet. Looked around and found the grommet near the fuse box was leaking, very strange considering i haven't done anything to that one. Sealed it up now just got to dry the carpet. Then washed it this afternoon

Installed a Unifilter and boxed up the original for posterity. Got some prices on a bar and snorkel mostly phone work though.

Cleaned the MAF sensor, removed a big heap of mud that was stuck inside the front bar (will have to keep an eye on that as it could be a rust point if left unchecked)

Added three more 12v sockets to the rear of the cab and made up a LED strip light to go under the bonnet to light up the engine bay. Just need to get a pin switch to finish the install.

Thanks for the idea. 8-)

It's just a length of flexible strip light. I'll be adding all the info in my build thread soon.
