might be worth looking at the Ashcroft upgrade also!

I had thought maybe output shaft. And yes might be time for an Ashcroft upgrade. :-).

And the phrase “well honey, whilst I’m doing this I may as well add ATBs to the front, rear and Centre”

Its actually her daily drive, so there is a good chance...

Well the good news is the spline coupling between the gearbox and transfer box has stripped and is being replaced with an Ashcroft unit, so no need to remove the gearbox. the new coupling should also reduce some of the Puma's excessive backlash so all good!

Hopefully have it back home by the weekend and major expense averted this time. ;-)

Ordered a double din facia and coughed and spluttered as i pressed confirm. I'm going to get into plastic moulding. The mark up must be healthy at $600 RRP.

i need to consolidate the GPS screen and the reversing camera screen into a single HU. Otherwise the cabin looks like the bridge of star ship Enterprise and the wiring like C-3PO after the Tusken Raider (desert people) took to him.

New handles all around to replace the **** OEM handles. Billet aluminium with knuckle duster type grab from Defender Upgrades.

An update here. I collected my shorty on Friday with the Ashcroft coupling unit installed and drove the three hours home mostly through Sydney’s ridiculous traffic. I reckon 80-85% of the previous backlash has gone and it is much smoother and easier to drive. A recommended upgrade if you have the money - not cheap;-)
