Patrol GR Build.

[Wheelie]

I’ve got mine booked in for an MOT On Wednesday, whilst it’s there I’m having the underside blown over with a needle jet to remove all the surface rust and then a rust inhibitor of some sort sprayed on then under sealed. That should keep the rot away for a while.

 

[Jay666d]

Thanks Mate! :thumbs

I really need to get the underside of mine taken care of!

 

[Mr K]

Really well done mate. The videos are getting better all the time

I like the fact you went through all stages step by step, showing all tools used.

That's a great format for people getting started.

Can't wait for the next one :clap

You're not alone.
I've had my Dinitrol kit in storage for nearly a year!

 

[Blocky10]

There's always something to chuckle about in your vids Jay.
I too, am a brother who borrows tools for weeks:lol
Keep em coming :thumbs

[Jay666d]

NO RUDE JOKES ABOUT MY BLACK NUTS!!! :lol

Finally got round to removing the silver ones and those awful Locking Nuts! :clap

 

[Jay666d]

Just done a couple of odd jobs on the Old Girl... Subtle, but can make the difference! :augie

The rusted wheel centres at the rear were always on show with the Black steel wheels, so I got those painted up.

 

[Jay666d]

Oh, and also one of my pipes heading towards the provent was a larger diameter than the original, so I shaved a little off the intercooler cover.

 

[jims-terrano]

Nice and subtle, sometimes the little touches make a big difference.

 

[Jay666d]

Now for the not so subtle... :naughty

Got this bad boy to protect me from the Great British weather!

It's 2m wide with a 2.5m extension. (Away from the vehicle)

Cost me £179 inc P&P. (The equivalent ARB version was £100 more plus postage! )

 

[Blocky10]

That's neat Jay. :thumbs Good price too

 

[jims-terrano]

Crickey yeah great stuff. Any chance of an Internet linky:thumbs

Very smart! I'm just going to bungee an army bivvi to the roof rack. I havent noticed the rusty hubs, mainly because they are covered in mud!!

I'll have to do some measuring, but I am thinking about using a pair of these in the back for storage.

I love small jobs that make a big difference. I like the satisfaction vs effort equation!

 

[jims-terrano]

Those are nice boxes but rather expensive.

 

[britrb]

I know how tough they are, and that they work. Quite a lot of my trucks kit will be ex MOD stuff. Its usually simple to use, and 'ard as nails.

No Problem Jim.

I can vouch for those boxes Brian... Not that I own some, but have used em!

I had my Bivvi bungee'd to the roof rack last weekend...

That's what pushed me to buying the awening. (It has been on my list for a while!)
