G'day Pete, thanks for that mate

Cheers................Dave.

Well it went in for a roadworthy today...................



passed and all rego'd and insured. Have started putting some of the goodies on this afternoon.

 

[Deadly]

Ok, time for some pics of the completed ( well stage 1 anyway) product.

Bit of a difference between now..............

........and when I 1st got it............

Went for a bit of a shake down run throught the State Forest with my mate & his D22 (the one I made the rear bar for).

Looks great mate, that front bar really suits it.

 

[d21demon]

Aww mate that is gorgeous!!!

 

[Old.Tony]

That's looking pretty shmick. Like how you've put the most important thing in a clever, convenient place. Does that Waeco draw much power, or do you have it running on a second battery?

 

[Deadly]

Thanks for that guys
Yeah, I think the front bar suits it as well, something a bit different.
As for the Waeco, don't know how much power it uses yet, only put it in yesterday morning. It hooked up to the main, as I don't have the 2nd battery in yet. But being only an 8 ltr, I don't think it would draw that much. I know my 50ltr Waeco in my 'Trol is pretty good on power

All up, as it sits now, the Nav cost me just shy of $3000....including purchase price

 

[d21demon]

The shoes you have on her now, are they the 31s you were after or are they the 33s from the 'trol?

 

[Deadly]

There 31's, picked them up off a mate with the rims for $600.

 

[d21demon]

Bargain, so whats next?

 

[Deadly]

Heart transplant for my 'Trol.

For the Nav, I've got some shiny 3" Stainless tube that'll make a nice snorkle, dual battery, a tray, somewhere along the line, look at fitting the blower I've got.....................

 

[Dion]

Heart transplant for my 'Trol.

What's the plan?

 

[Deadly]

The plan with the 'Trol is to get rid of theat troublesome ZD30, and put in a Turbo'd TD42. In the 6 years I've had the 'Trol, I've replaced not one, but two Injector Pumps, and a Turbo And now, it'll wind over, but will fire, and I havn't worked out why.

The tray wil for the Nav will get done after the 'Trol is going again, the rest will get done as it goes along, although I want the 2nd battery in before Xmas, going over to Facing Is. (off Gladstone) on boxing day for a few days camping
But in the next couple of weeks the clutch on the Nav will be getting changed out. This is going to be fun, as I've never changed a clutch out before, but I refuse to pay $800 (not including the clutch) to get it done.

 

[Dion]

Grr makes me want to go out and buy an old D21 SC to play with..........

Do it!

 

[Deadly]

I reckon so as well. Found another one up hear.....new paint, new tyres, new rear springs, alloy tray with checker plate floor, some rust in floor pan, $1250......perfect project for someone
