Done a few smaller things, wheeled a lot more.

Bent a lower controller arm, so now put in another stock one, but have plated them all with 6mm steel for now until I buy new arms. I tend to use them to slide a lot apparantly.

Also got a Smittybilt CRES with a Spiderwebshade TJKini, so done a little bit of work to the shed to store it.

Added 3 new purlins in, couple of eyelets, pulleys, and a 12v 2000 pound winch so lift the roof up and sit it as high as I can get it. Made a spreader bar for the top, it sits flat while up in the ceiling, and is right out of the way.




Did Adelaide Road is is a lot of river crossings, basically cactus'd every bearing on the front of the motor. I didn't know, until i went out to Brunswick and the car got really hot, really quick. So dropped it into a large hole to cool it down.



So far I've replaced :
Idler pulley
Tensioner idler pulley
starter motor
clutch fan assembly
new shorter surpentine belt to bypass the air-con compressor cause the bearing has shat it now.
water pump + did the thermostat as a pre-caution and new coolant.

Someone has already had a go at the clutch assembly on the air-con, so i'm going to have to remove it and try and do it on the bench, the thread is destroyed inside of it.

Hows your NV3550 going...

Seems fine? I’m using the penrite equivalent that was in their manual.

Few things recently happened.

Had to rebuild the rear lsd due to finding pieces of clutch packs in the housing. has gone bang sometime over it's life.

Hah, not too much money, basically bought the tools needed ( hydraulic press, micrometer, dial indicator gauge and a new torque wrench ) and read/watched a loooot of videos on youtube and reading shit to learn how to do build diffs. I'm a chippy by trade so it's way out of my scope, just wanted to give it a go.

Was interesting to learn, and frustrating 0.05 of a mm can make so much difference on coasting pattern
