Cheers mate!

Doing some pre trip work.
Thought I'd post up this. First pic is my inlet manifold that has been blanked off since me buying the car. At that time I also fitted brand new inlet manifolds. Roughly 55000ks ago . as you can see , no carbon what so ever! Clean as a whistle my oil colour is also like new after 5k and last time I drained the oil at 15k interval the oil was the same as when it went in!

Here's a pic with the new tyres and wheels!

your going to need that heavy clutch now

[baito]

Hey mate interested in that snorkel, does it go straight into engine bay or travel along inner gaurd space then pop out next to air cleaner? Cheers

[Lunny]

Love it troop, quick question. Do you find the light bar on the roof reflects of your mirrors?

[TUFF TROOP]

Baito the snorkel travels in the gap between gaurd and inner gaurd and comes out at the airbox!

The lightbar has no reflection off mirrors at all! The only reflection is the UHF antennas

[baito]

Thanks mate, what brand snorkel is it? Cheers

[c-dale]

TJM Snorkel mate. I have the same. Nice bit of gear.

[TUFF TROOP]

Yeah tjm snorkel, love it much better than the safari that takes up the whole gaurd and looks ugly as haha.
Here's a pic of the 8x 40mm led billet rocklights at night. Very happy with them!

[TUFF TROOP]

Bit of a update I guess haha.

Couple weeks ago I got approached by 4wd action about a photoshoot and a DVD segment in robe .. Was shocked.

So have been fairly busy. And with summernats just over and autofest comming up I've got 3 cars to prepare plus to jobs I have to complete for people . It's been crazy.

So far I have installed a arb fridge slide for my 40lt engel.
Removed all un nessassary wiring in tub and tidied up the remaining wiring.
Installed solar panels on the roof cage. Mounted controller on inside of the canopy for the panels.
Removed the led strip lights I had in the canopy and going to install a Cree led set up for better light and more reliable.

Re wired the engine bay. Tidied up the wiring and removed stuff that didn't need to be there. Also installed a under bonnet led alloy strip light.

Wired up 2 power sockets into the back of the centre console.
Twin USB charging socket in the factory position in console to charge the go pro and iPhone etc.

Anderson plug for the camper trailer also got thrown on also.

Here's some pics. Also thrown in a pic of my clubsport I've been working on for the last 6 or so years and my ford capri I've done a ground up rebuild on .

[Lunny]

You must have a big bloody shed lol

[TUFF TROOP]

Haha have a 14mt long shed 6m wide. One bay has masanine floor and that whole bay is a engine/trans building room with tv etc storage on top for spares. Hoist in next bay. One car on it one under it. And my rally car and burnout car stay outside haha.would love to extend it one bay. Will see how I go :p

[Lunny]

What's next on the list of toys lol

[TUFF TROOP]

I have to finish my clubsport off over the year ready for summernats. Won't take much ..
The capri is just a cruiser for now.

Probably sell my vs 5lt 5speed burnout car soon and put the money into my Torana hatchback as a burnout car have a ls1 motor that needs some love so will probably put that in it and let the mrs have some fun in it

That's the plan anyway. Hahaha
