Well I wrenched on it pretty solidly before heading off to Cape York for a 6 weeks and chipped off a bunch more items.
Fitted up
- CRDSTU power steering / lower bash plate
- Rear power outlet (removed the cig socket and put a connector on for my fridge
- Fitted a MDS light
- Mounted fridge
- Removed roof rack (wasnt needed for trip)
- Fitted Airflow snorkel (poorly)
- Topped up fluids
Now that I've returned after 8,000kms, the car went fine and got me everywhere I wanted (had to get winched up a embankment by a mate as the only recovery).
I've found a few new things to sort out:
- Water ingress (crossing the Pasco river gave me some wet feet and very wet carpet)
- Throttle body sticking (when the car is warm, turned off, restarted within 5-20 minutes), idles shit and throws a code, power cycling it comes back to normal (code P2112)
- Differential clutch performance (still having issues locking up)
- Comfort / Spring rates (the search will continue as the ride is baaaaad
