Working on the box (marine ply) to fit between the seats to do EXACTLY what you have done.... never thought of finding a container to re-use. Have also had to remove rifle cleats and fittings - Bundy the border collie complained of inhibited access between rear and passenger seat!
Saw my FFR for the first time last night! Took it for a one minute long sprint in the pelting rain, such a beasty truck :)
Tail lights don't work but all other systems are good.
Now to clean the armourall crap that AFM coat everything with, Barefoot Dave is coming to visit in a few hours for a chinwag then tomorrow morning start the drive back to Sydney from Brisvegas.
So many thanks to gromit68 for picking my Landy up from the auctions and for being such awesome friends!
My tail lights join the loom via bullet connectors. The connectors had dirt & mud inside. If yours are the same, pull them apart and give them a clean.Quote:

Just ordered a new slave cylinder as I had somehow lost an o ring inside?!
That jack mount also looks really good! Nice
Replaced the congealed peanut oil that the gearbox was filled with, with RX Super. What a difference that has made to gear changes! Transfer gets the same treatment today...
First thing any ex-mil 110 owner should do is put decent fluids in it.
Good time to strip the sedimenter while your under there
Yeah I did the transfer case and gearbox a few weeks ago with RX Super, huge difference. With the PTO there needed something like 10L total!Quote:

I have put the smart charger on the first of the four batteries, this could be a slow process to get them all up to condition. I am concerned about one of the dried cells as the plates looked very distorted/expanded/corroded. I suspect it won't hold a charge on that battery.
Are the 24V battery banks charged if the circuit breaker is switched off?
One of these arrived from the states - Deluxe Stereo Security Console in Gray, fits 76-95 Jeep
Available on ebay for ~$150au shipped. Was the cheapest option I could find for a steel/lockable centre console, I felt it wasn't worth paying four times that amount for one that is a few inches wider.
Angle grinded off the section for the cup holders and now its the perfect length. Just fabbing up a new plate to go beneath it and will add pictures soon.
Anyone have tips on where to go to find galv c channel similar to what Juddy has behind his bullbar (I'm keen to mount my hilift in the same way).
I think the internal width would be about 25mm, yet the few places I've looked at smallest galv channel they stock is 75mm.
Other option is I get some 30mm box and plasma cut it in half :eek:
