Miss Daisy's Punishment

[fridgie]

All thats left to do now is wire in the lights and get some rubber for the flares, and thanks to a belated Christmas elf there was a bonus today so had to put that on too!

Sorry Al, I put the sissy corner pieces on........for now well, at least till I work out what I'm gonna do there and besides......I paid for em, might as well use em

So here she is ready for Saturday

[kwyjibo]

Looking very smick now its completed!! i hope u gave her a wash she was filthy

the lights look good!

[daryn]

Looks awesome fridgie, I would have to say that the blue and red trucks do look the best mate 

[wurzil67]

I second that

[Joe]

Looking good fridgie

Now you just need a decent set of muddies

And although the blue and red ones look OK, LE Platoon Green is the only way to go

[biggibbo]

They do look good them wiggle colour tritons, but at least I rarely have to wash mine, and the scratches don't show up as much either.

Looks good Fridgie.

[borngeek]

Well done fridgie! Just in the nick of time and the colour coding does look very good on those bars...

Just waiting for its first encounter with terra firma like witnessed with Daryn at geraldine... and lithgow and ...
How will fridgie take it? Daryn was a little crushed at first and then meh the next time with what was the quote... "Its a magnet for marks everytime I go out"

Will fridgie baby the bar....

[Homer]

Woohoo looking pretty today Miss Daisy

the downside to an xrox bar if you land on it...
Clickly Clicky

Yep not as solid or heavy as some bars that's for sure. To me it was only about entry angle (std Triton just digs the nose in ) weight and deflecting minor obstacles like brushing and leaning on trees, small roos, slow moving Indians at pedestrian crossings and the like.

Not forgetting rear ends of Magnas to the list


That was with Kyles bar in the photo with fridgie so it didn't do too bad...

What that guy did in the Prado would probably damage all cars/bars/vehicles to some extent and I figure is an insurance job and off you go with a new one...I couldn't give a rats how much extra the insurance company had to fix because of one bar protecting something a little more than another....but that's just the way I think.

I'm not sure about entry either jop...but it appears to give an extra inch or so...certainly does off centre, which would make it a big plus if you had a front locker ....it is the bash plates that hit first/simultaneous with the Xrox every time - going on Kyles hole test ...unless the step is a metre or so high, so that could be a test?
I'm pretty sure it wont be second on entry angle, put it that way

EDIT: Sorry for the hijack Fridgie...I'm now resigned to the fact that I'll never bloody learn

[kwyjibo]

hehehe

[fridgie]

All good homer, you just wouldn't be yourself if you stayed on topic

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm absolutely stoked how she looks now, can't wait to get the hoop and sports bars powdercoated

[reeldreamer]

Looking the goods mate! Just a quick question how do you remove the plastic plate holding the fog ligts and indicators? Does it have to be done from the inside? I want to change the bulbs in the fog lights but i will be dammed if i can work out how to remove them Seeing as though you installed your bar you might have a better idea.

Mitch

[Diablo]

looking forward to seeing how she goes on saturday. and will look the business if you powdercoat the bar.

[fridgie]

Mitch,

There are about 4-5 screws holding the whole light assy in place from inside the bar. If you drop the bottom wings off there are 2 screws for the indicator easily accessible to get them out. You can, with a little effort, pull the fog lights out from the front but I think removing the wings (6 bolts each) is the easiest way to go

[kwyjibo]

i was gonna change them over to led's for fridgie when i was there but it turns out they are bayonet light bulbs old tech...

[reeldreamer]

I bought some LED H3 bulbs of ebay so hopefully they will fit! If not they only cost me $9! Thanks for the info mate I will get the guys at ARB to do it next week when they change over my bar. They put a MN on instead of ML!

[kwyjibo]

sorry i meant the park lights and indicators, the ones in the rectangle part, didn't even look at the fogs

let us know how bright the led H3's are, reckon a few guys would be curious

[fridgie]

Finally got around to resizing and uploading the pics from the bar install

It would appear as the night went on and the beers went down.....the pictures became less frequent

You can find them >>>HERE<<<

[kwyjibo]

gee took ya long enough, where's the photos i took of that random dog that hung around all night harassing chrissy and diesel?

[fridgie]

Still got them but couldn't be bothered uploading random dog pics

Just picked up some rola roof racks to fit to the hardlid I'll be getting this weekend, and ordered the luggage basket (should get that Friday). So very soon the pups can have the back seat without having to sit on camping gear when we go away

Big thanks to Daryn for the time and info to help me get this sorted (and repco for the 50% off clearance )

[MUD LARK]

Fridgie,
Miss Daisy's developing into an awesome truck!! All looks good with the colour code front bar!!
Nearly as good as mine

[SIVART]

Nice truck , the color coded bar looks mint on there

[fridgie]

Will fridgie baby the bar....

nope!!!

Already has a few nice gouges on passenger side, more scrapes on the stupid 'wing' parts underneath (have some checkerplate, gotta love freebies , that should fix that) and a noice rub mark where I didn't trim enough off the front guard. It's already matching the rest of the triton!!

[fridgie]

Just scored myself a second hand winch

Needs the solenoid box rewired but otherwise is in good nic apparently and hey, the price is definitely right!!!!

Now just to pick it up from the goldy and get it fitted

[Diablo]

so what are we exploring while your down here

and my bro as a electronics tech, can fix your solenoid box and get you good prices on parts if you need (but as a fridgie im sure you will be able to sort it)

[Homer]

Go hard on the winch mate...you may need it in the not too distant future...maybe start to even up ^^^that big count Diablo has on you
