Thread: What did you do to your Puma today?

I have been installing a dual battery setup for the last few nights, waiting for bits to arrive has slowed the process. A real tight fit! But will get it all in there hopefully.

Hi Dan,
Just wondering how you changed the puma ground wire terminal?
Did you just cut it and clamps on the terminals? Is it secure enough?
Thanks

Do you mean for the dual battery setup? If so I'm still not finished but have a clamp battery terminal for the negative at the moment. But depending on how well it holds up I may put a ring lug on it and put it under a nut secured terminal.
Clamp terminal has been fine so far (the picture with the 2 batteries has a projecta multiple terminal thing on it, with a main negative clamp)
The battery picture was before I started to put all the dual battery electrics in.

Is that a mega fuse for the alternator supply?I am trying to move away from the OE fuse block

Yes, a mega fuse block. Still using standard fuse, just couldn’t fit all the gear in with the standard battery terminal mega fuse block.

Since day one, the glare hitting my face and the top of my head via the sunroof was always abit of a nuisance. One day, i just snapped haha. Swung into autobarn and grabbed a pack of static-cling window shade film and got to work.

I toyed with the idea of getting it tinted but the constant chit chat about tinted sunroofs shattering kept scaring me abit, whether it's true or not, i wasn't gonna risk it (yet). $15 and 15 minutes later, this is a great solution that's blocked off a large chunk of the rays (yet still allows me to check out the skies if and when i feel like it). If i decide one day i want it blacked out, then i may just go super dark tint or get it wrapped in some automotive vinyl perhaps? We'll see.

I bought these.

NEW, PAIR of Smoked, LED Indicators, Lights, Signals for ARB Bullbars 135 x 38mm | eBay

fitted.

I cut off the square plug with the dremmel and bolted them to the Bar with M3 bolts secured with spring washer and loctite (M4 don't fit the hole in the light). They sit recessed enough to be protected. My Bar is looking tired but the smoked glass would come up a treat on a new Bar. The funny thing, i only bought the new lights because 1 light was out and i'm up for rego. On inspection they were rusted so the cause was thought to be a dodgy connection. As it turned out it was a dodgy earth connection at the OEM indicator on the facia from which the lights take their feed. $80 in parts, a trip to ARB and Bunnings and 3 hours of wiring in and fault finding to work that out.

Same as me then, I did a quick and dirty and pinched the square plastic with a set of pliers and used m3+locknut ( I used deutsch plug for the connecters)

Treated my barge to 5 new 255/85R16 Toyo Open Country MT tyres.

The Toyos replace 5 Maxxis Bighorn 764 MT tyres in the same size (255/85R16)

The guys at Hornsby Tyrepower are great to deal with.

Had a lovely, quiet, less jarring, ride home in the new sneakers.

The Toyos clear the rear spring upper mount much better than the Maxxis ever did. Happy about that too. Not that the Maxxis rubbed but there wasn’t a lot of clearance.
