OK, ill kick this one off with a weekend of maintenance on the lux.
Tie rod end, lower ball joint pass side, brake disc replacement, new battery terminals, adjust front wheel bearings.

Sounds simple.......yeah right.
The lower ball joint refused to let go, so after all the usual tricks, we resorted to a 4 ton ram and a porter power to load up the the upper and lower A arms and use a heavy sledge hammer ...take that you lil *&$^&#(@
So now to simply replace the brake discs ....after freeing a seized piston the discs went in as per the book

Tomorrow adjust the wheel bearings, should be a piece of cake with no more

Going to feel better than a new one

Nothing too major for me, Should be able to finish repairing the wellside deck today ready for a splash of paint.
Finished going over all the grease nipples yesterday. Looks like it hadnt been done for a long time. Front drive shaft was dry

Quiet 4x4 weekend Finishing touches to my new head lining and wiring up my new switch panel in the roof.. Helping my eldest son with a cam belt / water pump / seal change / fuel pump swap on his Mitsi van... (hes doing the dirty work, I am just supervising lol)

Rewelded tailpipe mount back on.
Started to convert $200 of steel into sliders for a 1996 Torrano

more work on trailer to make it useable for everything!! just need to get hinges for tail gate

decided the tie had come to replace my old am CB so I bolted in my new Oricom UHF unit from Repco

did a coolant change in my TD42.

Couldn't for the life of me undo the bolt on the block to get out the engine coolant so just filled the rad up ran her for a bit and emptied it again.

Wound the injector pump up a touch and threw in a boost controller to get the old bitsalux humming

installed an inverter
DC-DC converter in - installed PRS radio, Sterio, Cig Lighter all 12volts now
wired and installed a "work light" on the rear wheel carrier. 27w Cree light from trade me. seems to be well built and puts out heaps of light. Should be awesome at the camp site in a couple weeks.

Just hope the inverter and converter dont drain my batteries......

Also purchased some near new 33's for the hilux. Also a canopy and new transfer box.
