Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What a top day! Started out just trying to get time to install the snorkel I took off the petrol Patrol and put it on the t/diesel. It went so well (even without a template - just lots of measuring and two balls in my throat) that I got time to install the new Milford barrier as well. Neat as a button and finished by 3:00pm. Not a bad day's work. Time for a beer!

Top stuff mate....

yeh today hasnt been bad for me either....

i maded my front box section driveshaft and sorted half a dozen bugs out.... relax is the keyword here

Box-section driveshaft? You mean square??

My bonnet rubbers are in the same nick as yours... they are on the list of to do's along with the snorkle... mmm should get a riggle on..

LOL.... I went down to a Nissan dealer yesterday to get some of those 45-deg twist clips for the front grille. I was paying the bloke and thought to myself.... "there was something else I needed while I was here.....HMmmmmmm"

Dang!

i find cable ties work better for holding the grille in. them bastard clips just dont hold after a bit of mowing

Mmmm... cable ties... They'd be cheaper too! Get this: 12 of those stupid little clips - $27.90!!!!!! They're a CLIP for God's sake !

what is that tool called your using to cut out the hole, looks to be some sort of nibbler??? looks very handy, and if im gonna get one, id like to know what its called so i dont look like a fool when i go to trade tools............

Micky - it's just a plain old nibbler. You can get one like this for $14.00 at Dick Smith Electronics - or anywhere good games are sold

Cheers mate - I'll chase some up.

Does the whole vehicle give you that "Toyota Feeling" after the installation?

use either cable ties for grill, or the captive nut things from computer racking clip straight in

All I know is without any bonnet rubber for the past year.... The thing rattles around a lot and is quite good for scaring passengers...
"Is that gonna fly up ??!!!!"

CHeers Wooders !

I just got some from Nissan, $14 each, bit of a rip off, but I couldnt be bothered making something up when they bolt straight in and look fine. They stopped my bonnet rattling around

Might just have to go and get some tomorrow then. My bonnet nearly popped on the freeway at 110kmh this morning - and flew up and down so wildly I thought she might just lift all the way..... :(

today wasnt too bad for me either...

got to test run my moon buggy... and busted a freewheeling hub which ended my day quickly lol.. but that was after a few climbs so i got a bit out of it

TOM

i did crap loads of work today...

went and watched the boys wheelin the buggies and mick roll the mog rover...



i love my job.....running car shows is fun...
