Did the plugs and leads and found that she is running too hot and that could be caused by running stock plugs on LPG.

Went to Lake Lyell where I:
killed the new alternator (it eventually came good)
killed a tyre (I replaced it)
killed the cooling system, and almost the engine (I was able to refill the cooling system with water and a small amount of orange cordial, and them AMC 4.0L engines are bloody tough )
absolutely murdered the hill climb that took me two hours and a winch last time, getting from bottom to top in around 2 minutes with an overheating engine, no alternator, a near dead battery, and having to stop behind another driver that was half way up taking photos!

Finally got the subwoofer working , doesn't sound as good as it did in the pulsar then again the front speakers are still stock ones. Gave her a once over checked fluids as I am going wheeling with her tomorrow. Removed a foam pad from the airbox which I think was crazy to have installed when the airfilter is a k & n and I have a safari snorkel installed . Took her for a quick drive to see how much of a difference that made, seems a lot more responsive once up and running.

Started installing my new ARB winchbar, got it all ready to install and removed the old bumper went to remove the bumper brackets only to find some prat had welded the passengers side one on ^%%$##(*))*(#!!!! Finally got that off with alot of swearing only to find that ARB forgot to put the bolts in so now I have a bumperless truck until Tuesday when I can get the chance to get some hardware.

Had my steering box and powersteering unit fully rebuilt Friday as it was very unsafe, that was a costly exercise but the truck does drive 95% better then before. Going to look at balljoints and tierods now to get the other 5%. The shaft that the pitman arm attaches to was twisted severely !!!

Fitted a camera mount to the dash so that I can mount my suction cup to it as oppossed to the windscreen. ( went 4WDing last weekend and had the camera mounted inside the front windscreen but could only mount it upside down....... looked through the view screen and it showed it as being up the right way but got home and watched it on TV and its all upside down LMAO).
