What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Not today, but 1am on Christmas Eve...

Finally finished installing door locks: putting the driver's side back together, after having done the passenger door a week ago.

I've keyed the doors and ignition alike, to make life easy.
Having the later style doors meant a bit more fiddling around, putting the lever and barrels in the handles, plus manufacturing new wire rod linkages from fencing wire. The most difficult bit was filing through the spot welds on the latches. I must have a bit of patience as it took over two hours on each latch. But the satisfaction of having it all working is fantastic.

the filter housing has a drain plug just put a small container under it and no mess Charlie

Friend and I out for a drive down Sussex inlet nose, and yes I got bogged.

After locating a genuine snorkel unit, fitted it all up today. Had to trim 2" off the inlet hose to fit it, but other than that it was easy.
Currently waiting for the correct gasket to go under the snorkel to arrive from Land Rover next week for a total of $6 plus GST.
Then I'll put all the fixings in.

Nice work! :D

Yesterday I got someone to fit an immobiliser and ignition lock barrel, mainly because I needed it done pronto and I had too much else on.

Today I got in and drove down to the beach. And I made it home. This is an alien concept to me. I kind of like it.

I am however starting the "Power Steering Kit Fund", which may also end up becoming the "Turbocharger Fund" as well. This is in complete contradiction to my initial "i'm buying a Perentie" thread...

Gday Scott.
Nice work. Much discussion about doing it but you seem to be the first (with photos, anyway).
Was it as easy as it looks?
Hours taken/traps for young players?

Spent the best part of the day trying to isolate an issue with the rear lights not working and the left indicator blowing a fuse every now and again when it feels like it. Might have tracked the rear light problem down to the "blackout" switch.
Still a work in progress! :(




Cheers, Mick.
