What else can he do with it :nenau Put an air freshener in ever now and again? It's already been modded to near almost perfection. I think he's just going to jump in and enjoy it for a bit but no doubt some new stuff will be fitted to it somewhere down the line.
We have to buffer the thread out somehow
Oh there's always a list bro! :thumbs :sly
She's had a very (very!) good start but I do have a few mods I want to do immediately/as soon as funds allow.
1. Refit the towbar. Daemo had to remove it as it shares bolt holes with the bumper. Just needs some thick washers to space the mounts out a tad. Also want to do see if I can move the trailer socket into the steel bumper so that all I have to do take out 6 bolts to remove the towbar (it's a bit like the Terrano towbars).
2. Got some unistrut roof bars to fit for mounting the hi-lift on the roof (got some mounts to bolt to the unistrut).
3. There's no rear fog light fitted, I imagine there must have been one fitted for importing the Trol but it's since been removed. 50/50 it might make it through the next MOT without it as it presumably managed up to now but I think I'll convert the offside reverse light into one (as there is a reverse light each side) rather than fit a seperate one.
4. Fit a stereo (the one Daemo had fitted stopped working and wasn't replaced).
5. The 24v to 12v reducer for running the 12v accessories is pretty beefy which is good as you can run plenty stuff off it but if you're leaving the Trol for more than 24hrs you run the risk of draining the batteries unless you take the inline fuse out. Solution is either to fit a switch or, a better idea, fit a relay off the ignition so the reducer only connects to the battery when she's running.
6. Need to pick up and fit a synthetic rope for the winch, just looks naked without!
7. Fit a drop down table to the larger barn door.
8. Put a mushroom head on the snorkel.
9. The runners for the rear sliding windows have seen better days (they sit inside the rubbers) so I want to fit solid side windows (get them from Europe).
Slightly further in the future mods, in no particular order!
-Lokka for the front axle (meant to compliment the Y60 rear lsd nicely)
-Rear swing away for the spare (bumper makers sell one that bolts right into pre-made captive nuts in the bumper). They also sell a jerry can holder that bolts into the opposite side :sly
-Factory fuel tank on the early Safari is 80l vs the 95l tank fitted to later ones. 95l tank from a Y60 is a straight swap but I've seen some nice new HD 98l and even larger expedition ones I might fit instead.
-Aftermarket turbo is a definite option and relatively easy to fit by all accounts.
- Bigger zorst! :naughty
- Fit some new front seats.
I'm sure the list will continue to grow...
