What did you do to your navara today?

[Lorddas]

Installed a lift kit today

 

[Cobez]

Fitted a Tillix valve kit.

 

[GunMentalGrey]

Chased a damn huntsman around the back seat. Eventually managed to flick it out onto the ground so I won’t need to torch the car.

 

[Lorddas]

Yesterday i put fused power distro block and an old redarc isolator I had in. Run power wire to the tray for a second battery to be installed

[GunMentalGrey]

Got some new boots. Put a 50mm lift in about a week ago, and a while back picked up some second hand rims with bigger rubber. Got a wheel alignment and fitted the new wheels. Removed the factory side steps ready for the modifying some rock slider steps to fit. It’s a long way up to get in right now.

Looks good mate. See you have removed the rear joke of a roll over/ tie down bar. Cleans lines always wins I reckon.

 

[GunMentalGrey]

Removed the rear bar to paint it and add a high mount brake light. I’m not really sold on the look without, so it’ll go back on soon.

 

[Tms40]

Not today but I don’t think I’ve posted this yet. My dual battery box and canopy light. Few more outlets on the back

 

[user 10312]

That looks trick. Nice work!

Found the misfire is on No. 3 pot, thought about swapping around injectors, (new) plugs and coil packs to narrow it down, then decided it would be better to swap the crimp joiners in the injector wires for solder joins, first.

Just went out and checked the Navara in the dark, no blue light disco. But you reminded me, I spent hours one night trying to fix a mob of little blue flashes under the bonnet of a 1500 Mazda ute that wouldn't run, next day I tracked it down to a lack of fuel, which fixed itself the moment I cracked the first nut on the fuel pump.

many a time have replaced one faulty component only to find that i had to keep looking for a secondary issue

 

[Cobez]

Slammed a brand new genuine thermostat and hoses in the D40 and did a full cooling system flush and bleed. Seems to have knocked a couple of degrees off the running temps too. One more lot of gear off the list of parts to renew as they were getting old.

Today, I spent the day discussing, with myself, the pros and cons of building a 10m x 5m annexe/garage/workshop onto the side of my bus, before winter.
This was brought about by the realisation that what started as a short term project, then (as the parts/repair list grew) became a medium term project, has now become a long term project due to the purchase of a compression tester and the test results from it. No 1 - 149psi, No 3 - 150psi, No 5 - 75psi, didn't bother with 2, 4 and 6.
Repair list now goes something like, replace all suspension bushes front and rear, including new weld in washers for rear strut rod mounts.
New cat back exhaust system.
New upper and lower ball joints, new rubber boots, new shocks all round, new gearbox mount.
New brake shoes, slave cylinders, seals and shim lsd in replacement rear diff, check if lsd in existing rear(C200) noisy diff will fit front diff.
Replace door hinge pins and bushes, remove under dash a/c and associated hardware, remove dash and repair heater controls, get broken seat springs replaced, replace vinyl floor, apply sound deadening to firewall, floor, doors and back wall so I can hear wireless when it's purchased and fitted, fit new steering wheel.
Work out why the freshly straightened speedo needle reads 20 kph above actual.
Remove surface rust and repaint floor of tub.
Purchase and fit reco series 1 vn motor, clutch, pressure plate and thrust bearing, probably should replace gearbox synchros at same time.
After rego fit bull bar, extra lights and twin Stebels.
And probably a few etceteras that I haven't found yet.

 

[Cam_D22]

Not all done today but in the last week or so. Installed some Kings 9" spotties, wired in using their plug n play smart harness. New rubber bonnet stops. Done up my headlights with rain-x headlight restoration kit and polished up the alloy bar a bit with some mag & aluminium polish.

 

[Rainbow Warrior]

Fitted light bar on the roof rack

 

[Cam_D22]

Replaced the passenger door lock as it was damaged with a screwdriver when I got broken into.
Got these Ali Express D22 locks. Took the lock apart and re-keyed it to my original key and chucked it in the door. All up was super simple and no dramas.
This video was super helpful for re-keying
This video was super helpful for the install

Put a set of 6x9 speakers in the rear doors of my d22,sounds heaps better!!

Hi, how did you manage this, is was it with a spacer plate? Thanks
