I decided to put a plastic cap on one end and poured rust paint in the other and capped that end too then swirled it all around for a minute or so and then opened up one end and emptied any remaining paint - worked a treat-covered the whole inside. Might be an idea to get a stainless copy made up up one day when i've got the spare cash.
Nice one Matt. Remind me which one you bought?
What did I do to my Perentie?
Decisions, Decisions... tidy Carryall or Snr Commander?!
aaah, First world problems ;)
Hi Dave- sorry been a bit slack but i will post some pics of my perentie soon.
It's ARN-51779
ah, 799. stablemate to my old one. That was a pretty good one from memory.
Well done.
It seems I am now to be cut off from the elements.
Carryall, it is.
Painted my Hi-Lift jack and bar mounts.. Pretty happy with it hopefully it is hidden in plain sight when i mount it up

Mate that looks awesome...
Did you cut your front roll bar down? Is it just a topless beast permanently?
I'm considering cutting my bars and getting a new canopy so I can fit her in my garage (its too high).
Hey usi!
Where did you get the camo colored paints mate?
I've got a perentie and need to do a few touch ups...
You don't have to cut anything, Just undo a few bolts and pull the canopy off.
Then the bows unbolt and you now have a ute!
The paint you can get from your local Protec distributor
342-1166 - Camouflage Green
342-5265 - Camouflage Tan
342-7165 - Camouflage Black
342-5726 - Camouflage Light Tan
There is a heap of info over on REMLR and plenty on the servicing side here
Picked up Front and Rear diff guards to paint and install this weekend.
Had a little moment last time on the trails where i ended up doing some damage and given the welds on the front diff it hasn't been the first time either!

Usi,
Just curious, what brand is the guard for your rear Salisbury? I have bought a Dolium guard for my Perentie's front Rover diff (Christmas present for the truck - it was so excited), but haven't yet done anything regarding protection for the rear diff. The front diff casing has had a decent thump at some point, and I consider a bit of protection for next time can't hurt.
For the rear Salisbury I'm considering either a guard, or a heavy duty fabricated steel or ductile iron cover as a replacement for the pressed steel cover. Replacement covers for the Dana 60 axle (apparently same fitment as the Salisbury) are very popular in the US and seem reasonably priced.
Regards
Dave
