Finally located a rattle and removed it. After a year of my slick shift I could hear a rattle. Took the shifter off the stick, nice a tight with tape so not the cause, it was the ****ty weights at the base of the selector. Removed and rattle begone.

When I say I did, I mean someone else (a mate from the forum here) did it :)
Great learning experience !
Finally replaced my lower trailing arm bushes. What a painful job the first one was. Second was easy once I new how to do it.
A 12T press was not enough to push the bushes out. Had to cut the rubber to remove the core. Then tap the edges with a small chisel, enough that I could the use a large chisel to break the interference fitting.
Once I did that, the press with a 1 inch socket did the rest.

I considered changing to 18 inch rims with 265/70R18’s for a nanosecond :Rolling::Rolling:[bigwhistle]

So I had the Bumblebee in at Kedron Car Electrics to get some work done . They fitted the new dual height Stedi light bar , Mulgo exbox, relocated all the electrics to the exbox and added more usb and 12v outlets, fitted the tow pro, installed the Enerdrive 200ah lithium battery and 40amp Enerdrive charger and victory battery monitor, installed the projecta solar charger to the main battery as well as plugs for the 240vac battery charger to connect to each battery. I can’t praise these guys enough. I’ve been using them for over 15 years and their work has always been excellent. You can see the detail in the wire labelling just so I can know what is where. So if you need an auto electrician in Brisbane’s north side give them a call on 0733594411.
Finally finished packing everything in for the coming trip. [wink11]
