I wish someone had done the same on mine, started the n/s sill and arches yesterday, three twats with the tapping stick and half the truck was laying on the floor, and I could see my boot carpet :doh, having almost a full day on it today though :thumbs:D

:lol the Trol could do with a bit of a wash to get the dust off but inside the wing wasn't me, it looks like a previous owner has at some point painted old oil or something similar as a preserver in there

Its actually very expensive dinitrol rust preventer not oil, and you are going to find it everywhere and i mean everywhere in all cavities.
 
Weekend's work...

Roof bars and hi-lift jack mounts on



Ultimately I'll get a roof rack to bolt on next to the hi-lift mounts.


Also finally got my bluetooth dab stereo fitted



With full hands free

 
Altimeters appear non working.
I had one in the Paj, and realised you have to get over 900ft for it to kick-in.
Set it to zero and you might have a high spot around you that'll get it to move.
(What am I saying,you live in Scotland doh).
Mine worked brilliantly in the Alps, and was as accurate as my GPS.
:thumb2
 
So as you'll have seen from my post on the Wales Weekend thread, my alternator went :( the night before I left to come back :doh

Drove home with a battery swap part way then ordered an updated HD unit from NZ (seems to be the place for Safari 24v parts :nenau)

Old alternator, a 35 amp unit (equivalent of a 70 amp 12v one)



New uprated alternator, a 50 amp HD unit (equivalent of a 100 amp 12v one) Definitely run the 24v 17000lb winch better than the stock unit :naughty

Oi! I've fitted plenty parts myself before you cheeky bugger :rolleyes: the whole suspension lift on Foxy, glowplugs, EGR blank and turbo adjustment, catch can, winch bumper and winch, rock sliders... to name a few. The main thing that got in the way before was time and location to do it as Foxy was my daily.

Cheers you fuzzy git :p ;)

Any joy finding your own Trol?

I just keep looking and if something really gets me tickled in the bottom of the stomach then I might start to make things happen :naughty

Maybe I should start to scout for interest for Terrance as he is :eek:
 
Finished my rear table on Saturday :thumb2
