[Punk_Cruiser]

Nice rig you got there, sounds like your'e good at fabricating your own stuff by the looks of the list there. Has the 3ltr given you any trouble yet?

good work

[Deadly GU]

Thanks Mate, yeah enjoy the challenge of making stuff. No probs with the motor ( touch wood). only drama i did have was when a small airline fitting was found in the main tank, all the chrome from the fitting somehow got through the fuel filter & stuffed the injector pump & injectors. Also had the MAF sensor replaced under warrenty a few years ago.

Nice Lookin GU Mate, like the colour :D

Nice Lookin GU Mate, like the colour :D

Dan.
Thanks Mate, wasn't a fan of the red before i bought it, but now i wouldn't have it any other colour.

[miller]

looks good mate! i bet you've saved a fair bit of coin doing mods yourself!?

[Deadly GU]

Yeah mate i have, but I also get enjoyment out of knowing I built it myself. Also like the challenge of having a go at building something myself.

[bendobinson]

hey mate ya GU looks awesome. good to see ya having a go at building, nothing more satisfying then building something for ya truck yaself.

[bop smoo]

nothing better than a red patrol, looks good mate,and i have the same obsession as you with making stuff.

[Deadly GU]

Thanks for the comments guy's. Next on the list of things to build is a steel rear bar with twin wheel carriers. the design is just about worked out , then the fun starts.

[Deadly GU]

Some photo's with myself & SandyWingMirror & Co. from our week of camping at Freshwater , near Rainbow Beach.

I am interested in building a rear bar and wheel carrier for mine, i will be very interested in seeing how it turns out, good luck with it.

Dan.

[riley]

Hi, the GU looks great.How do you find your suspension set up as i am thinking of doing something the same.As i do not want to go to high.

[Deadly GU]

Hi, the GU looks great.How do you find your suspension set up as i am thinking of doing something the same.As i do not want to go to high.I find it works great for what i do,( mostly touring). When I went to Weipa 2 yrs ago , there where 4 of us, the back loaded up, & towed a trailer with 3 44's of deisel amd other gear, & it just floated along the corigations & rough roads without any drama's. As for other wheeling it works pretty good, considering.

Thanks Dan. Will post up pic's as I go along. Pick up the steel on Friday, hopefully make a start over the weekend.
Cheers...............Dave

[Deadly GU]

Started on the rear bar duing the week. Here some progress pic's, from the back ,mounting brackets, side, stub shafts & boss' & the catches.
Cheers................Dave.

[OffroadZoe]

Nice patrol GU!!! looks bloody awsome

[Deadly GU]

Here's a couple more pic's with the stub shafts tacked in & the boss on.

[dominik]

Nice rig mate, rear bar is coming along nicely.

[patrol4500]

I'm building my rear bar atm as well and was wondering where abouts you got you latches from.I got them from a trailor shop, but they said they got them A Mans Toyshop.

[Deadly GU]

Thanks guys, hopefully get some more done on the weekend. Will keep posting pic's as i go.

[sully1]

[Deadly GU]

who machined up those stub sharft and sockets for your bearings for you look ****en good
Yeah.... thanks for machining those up for me Sully.

[Deadly GU]

Here's some more progress pic's.

[Deadly GU]

And some more, with the catches mounted, the LED lights i'll be using, & off the car waiting to be fully welded.
Cheers.............Dave.

[sully1]

at least it going together well now hopefully you dont have to pull it off again

[Deadly GU]

at least it going together well now hopefully you dont have to pull it off again
Hope so, it's abit awkward lifting it on and off on my own, prob get you round to give me a hand to put it on when its painted.

[Deadly GU]

Some more progress pic's. Hope to have ready for painting by the end of the weekend if all goes well.

[Deadly GU]

The rear bar is finished, just needs to fitted. just a few pics of the bar before priming, in primer, & painted.
Cheers..........Dave

[Deadly GU]

Rear Bar mounted & everything works........woohoo. Just need to fit and wire up LED indicator & stop/tail lights, reverse lights, mount trailor plugs, & make up bracket for number plate & number plate light, & bracket for HiLift jack.

[Deadly GU]

Well finally got a pic of the completed rear bar. And some pics of a day trip that SandyWingMirror, myself & a couple of other friends did from Agnes to Rules Beach.

[Deadly GU]

On my days off, decided to get rid of the the rear door trims & replace them with Aluminium Checker plate, with a fold down table.
Here's the finished product.
Cheers.......Dave

[Luxxxy]

hey dave, thats some neat home handy work mate!
you a boilery or somethin'? I wanna do a dual wheel carrier on the back of my hilux, not that you see to many of them on hilux's.

Thats a nice lookin truck you've got there too, do you get out often?

[Deadly GU]

Thanks Luxxxy, na not a boily i'm a fitter . Shouldn't be to hard to make a carrier for your Lux, i made 1 for my Triton I used to have. There's a couple running town with them, a white single cab & a blue dual cab.
Not happy with my carriers, they flex to much, so making new ones out of 1 1/2" pipe, other 1's where made from 5ox25x2mm box.
Cheers......................Dave

[bop smoo]

Dave , i think you will find that 50 x 50 x 2.5 or 3 will do the job best, i can't quite work out how much width you have at the top of the carrier, but if you can get that box section in there , i would use it.
i dont think you will be happy with the pipe out come either.

[Deadly GU]

Thanks Bop Smoo, I'll see how the pipe goes 1st, only cause i've already cut and had it bent up. I'm using heavy wall pipe & it'll be braced as well. If it doesn't work i'll try your suggestion, cause i've got enough room to use 50x50.
Cheers.............Dave.

[rugged_rolly]

love the work you've done on your truck, very handy with the tools. If it's not to rude to ask what did the shelf on your rear door cost to do cause I'm wanting to do the same thing. thanks Christian.

Thanks rugged_rolly, Nah mate it's not to rude to ask. It cost me about $80 all up:- The checker plate sheet i went halves in with a mate $60, $5 to get cut up for me at a sheet metal place, and about $5 for the hinges , $10 for the elastic straps and clips, & about $5 for the chain and screws .( I originally used clothes line cord for the straps, but changed it to light chain)
Cheers...................Dave

[Deadly GU]

Just a small update, finally under my house is dry enough to do some things, so started making mark2 of the wheel carriers. Got the right side mostly finished, just need to put another brace in & paint them when the weather allows. Already they are alot stiffer then the 1st 1's.
Thanks to bop smoo for getting me the steel at a good price.
Here's a couple of pic's.
Cheers...............Dave

[bop smoo]

hey Dave, i still think you should have gone past the wheel mount with the upright,this would have then allowed for a slightly longer stiffening brace. When you cut the end off you have marked don't forget to cap the end of the box,the moisture will love to sit in there.
But all in all a good job and a lot stronger,it should now hold up to your big trip.

Hey Dan, yeah i forgot about going up higher until after i put the brace in this morning, but it's very stiff now, hardly moves at all. Going down to Clarke Rubber shortly to get a couple of plastic caps. Will soak with lanolin before I put the cap in.
Cheers.............Dave

[Luxxxy]

hey deadly, had a chance to have a crack at that winch yet?

[Luxxxy]

Bit of an update. Fitted a CAV fuel filter in line before the standard filter.
Cheers............Dave

[MR MAC GU]

Nice truck mate dont see many this colour. its similar to mine just shows great minds think alike. Just wish i had the ability to build stuff myself as that would save me a few bucks too.

[Deadly GU]

Yeah I like the colour, didn't really at 1st , but after 4 1/2 yrs i wouldn't have it any other colour. Mate , not only does it save me a few bucks , but I also get alot of enjoyment out of building it myself, it might not always work out the 1st time, bit I usually get it right in the end.:crazy:
Cheers...........Dave

[guyjin]

Deadly,

congratulations on showing us all up with your ingenuity, engineering skills and photography.....any thoughts about posting the plans (dimensions) of your rear bar work?

[Deadly GU]

Deadly,

congratulations on showing us all up with your ingenuity, engineering skills and photography.....any thoughts about posting the plans (dimensions) of your rear bar work? Thanks for the coments Guyjin. To be honest mate, no I hadn't had any thoughts about doing it , but do can do if you want them. Just have to work out how to do it.
Cheers....................Dave

[patrol4500]

Gday, Deadly,

If possible i would be fairly keen on seeing a few instructions & measurements as well, I have been going to make a bar for mine for a while now and a bit of experience would go a long way to getting started on it. Don't want to copy yours mate but just a shove in the right direction with parts and things to look out for would be handy.

Cheers, Dan.

[mnpalmer]

Bit of an update. Fitted a CAV fuel filter in line before the standard filter.

Nice Patrol Dave, I've been thinking about fitting one of these as well to my Patrol. Is it a good idea to run both filters? I was just going to replace the standard one.....?

Thanks,
Mark

[Celt's]

Doing some really great work there Deadly, keep it up man!;)

[Deadly GU]

Nice Patrol Dave, I've been thinking about fitting one of these as well to my Patrol. Is it a good idea to run both filters? I was just going to replace the standard one.....?

Thanks,
MarkI was originally going to replace the standard 1 with the CAV, but a mate who works in the deisel industry said to leave the standard 1 in & put the CAV in before it. As he said " you can never have to much filtration " , & after seeing all the crap that was in the standard filter when I just changed it I didn't have to think twice about putting the CAV in.
Cheers...............Dave

[Deadly GU]

Doing some really great ork there Deadly, keep it up man!;)
Thanks Celts. Next on the list is a roof rack, for my trip to the Cape at the end of July.
Cheers................Dave

[Celt's]

It'll be July before you know it i bet. Wiil be a great trip, very jealous indeed.

[Luxxxy]

Should market your rear bar design Dave! I'll draw the detailed plans up on Cad for ya and you'll make a killing!

[mnpalmer]

Should market your rear bar design Dave! I'll draw the detailed plans up on Cad for ya and you'll make a killing!

Not such a bad idea. The current ARB/Kaymars while they look damn nice, seem sooo expensive. If you could build them for half the price you may have a market for them... :)

[4x4xfar]

Nice Truck mate, All these things I keep adding to my to-do list from reading these threads.....i dunno!

[Deadly GU]

It'll be July before you know it i bet. Wiil be a great trip, very jealous indeed.
Yeah , your right it will be. Don't be jealous, come with us, you know you want to.

[Deadly GU]

Should market your rear bar design Dave! I'll draw the detailed plans up on Cad for ya and you'll make a killing!Hahahaha, just need a better work shop than under my house using an old wooden bench & a small vice.

[Celt's]

HA, would love to, but sadly no chance this year, i will just have to enjoy your pics & write-up.:thumb:

[Deadly GU]

Nice Truck mate, All these things I keep adding to my to-do list from reading these threads.....i dunno!
Thanks mate. I was the same as you , then 1 day I said bugger it, & started doing the things on the to-do list. :crazy: :crazy:
Cheers................Dave.

Just another little update. Fitted a set of Lightforce 240's the other day. Damn, they are a bright light.
Cheers.................Dave

[nate]

i just bought a pair of 170's and there bloody bright can only imagine how yours go :D

[Celt's]

Looking good mate, the 240's only suit the bigger rigs hey!;)

[Luxxxy]

gee wizz dave, you don't waste your time! What did you do with your old ones, and if you still have them are you interested in selling them? Are the LF's the blitz or XGT model?

[Deadly GU]

gee wizz dave, you don't waste your time! What did you do with your old ones, and if you still have them are you interested in selling them? Are the LF's the blitz or XGT model?
They are only the Blitz, couldn't justify an extra $100 for the XGT's. The old 1's went on me ute, the reflectors are starting to dull.
Cheers.................Dave

[Luxxxy]

What did you do with those huge ones on the nav?

[Deadly GU]

Skye, they are Sittin on the shelf at home. You can have them if you want, although i think there starting to go dull aswell.
Cheers................Dave

[Deadly GU]

Looking good mate, the 240's only suit the bigger rigs hey!;)Thanks mate. Would have to agree with you in most cases:waycool: :waycool:
Cheers.............Dave

[Luxxxy]

Will check 'em out on saturday. see you then

[Deadly GU]

Just another small update. Installed a battery monitor for the dual batteries. Got the idea from a caravan & campertrailer forum ages ago, & finally done something about it. It's a " Portable DC System Checker" i got from BCF for $10 & a small ON-OFF-ON switch i got from the electronic's shop for under $5.
Cheers.........Dave

[Luxxxy]

You have the best toys dave, you're truck is like one big toy store!

[Deadly GU]

[Deadly GU]

Nice setup.
Thanks Boof, want to do a similar suspension setup to my Navara ute as you've done to your Lux, hopefully in about 12mths time:crazy: :crazy:

Cheers, Dan.

[Deadly GU]

Could this be spreading?? Red Gu's with black sunny's:D :D :D

[Luxxxy]

I think you've done enough with the patty dave, lets start on the nav!:D I'll be around on the weekend with a grinder and a hammer:p While i'm there we can cut the back off the lux:p

[Deadly GU]

I think you've done enough with the patty dave, lets start on the nav!:D I'll be around on the weekend with a grinder and a hammer:p While i'm there we can cut the back off the lux:p
I think you could be right about the Patty, Skye. Just got to get all the 4b running gear for the Nav, then it's go time:crazy: . I reckon we could easily knock over the tray ( & a few:drink: :drink: ) in a weekend. hahahahahaha

[pinkfloyddsotm]

Could this be spreading?? Red Gu's with black sunny's:D :D :D
theres a maroonish/red GU ST coil cab ute around here with black sunnies, looks so mean,what im trying to say is ,yea red with black sunnies looks tops.

[Deadly GU]

Yeah your right, red with black sunny's does look tough:waycool: , but then again there's nothing wrong with abit of Bling either:D :D

[bop smoo]

Nothing right with bling either................unless you consider black sunnies with maroon beadlock rings as BLING......Then bling me up.

[boof]

Sounds like a plan with the Nav make sure you post up pics, as that other Red Patrol driver with black sunnies we just let him be :D:D:D

[Deadly GU]

Depends what your interpretation of bling is:D :D , but black sunny's with maroon bead locks does sound:waycool: :waycool:

[Deadly GU]

Sounds like a plan with the Nav make sure you post up pics, as that other Red Patrol driver with black sunnies we just let him be :D:D:D
will do boof , but probably not going to happen for awhile yet, got to get all the bits together 1st:crazy: :crazy:

[Luxxxy]

Sometimes "bling" wheels take the attention away from the truck, to a point where the truck looks like crap compared to the wheels. I reckon if you're gonna have "bling" wheels the rest of the truck has to be "bling" as well. :p

The wheels on your nav dave, would look good the same orange as the truck.:thumb: Where did you get that colour from??

Yeah your right there Skye. The colour is called Manderine, don't know what the white is called( i know that both are dam bright when it's clean), it's 2pak paint & you should be able to get it from any paint shop.

[Deadly GU]

This afternoon my young bloke asked me if we could go for a drive, I thought , yeah why not, so we went for a drive in the state forest, nothing to hard though, cause we were by ourselves, then not long after we hit the dirt he went to sleep. Arwell, i enjoyed myself anyway. Here's a few pic's, mostly just poser pic's:D
Cheers....Dave

[Deadly GU]

And a few more. Not to bad flex , considering it's set up for touring, & sway bars still connected.

[pinkfloyddsotm]

[Deadly GU]

Thanks mate , i'm pretty happy with it. It's only got 2" coils & shocks, so it does pretty well.

[Celt's]

Great shots mate. It's nice to get out for a non-serious wheel every now & then. Especially with the little 1's;)

[Deadly GU]

Great shots mate. It's nice to get out for a non-serious wheel every now & then. Especially with the little 1's;)
Yeah mate , should do it more often, but there's never enough hours in a weekend, even RDO weekends. Had a few hours doing nothing this afternoon so just did it, & yeah your right it was nice to go out for a drive, even a little 1:thumb:

[Deadly GU]

Here's a couple more shots from yesterday, sort of showing the front flexing:o
Cheers...........Dave

[Deadly GU]

Top pic's there Skye ( or was that Sally that took them:D ) Yeah i was really happy with the way it did that 1st hill:thumb: , All the way up Dylan (my 4yr old son) was saying " this is cool dad" hahahaha

[Deadly GU]

On the way home she said that she really enjoyed it, she had trust in what we were doing, just that she had never done that sort of thing before.

[Deadly GU]

As long as she enjoyed herself:D :D

[Celt's]

[Deadly GU]

Here's some of my pic's from yesterday that Luxxxy, Mrs Luxxxy myself & Jr Deadly did . This is a little dam we found beside the track. My rear suspension max'd out, I still say it's not to bad for only a 2" lift & sway bars still connected. The rear wheel just started to come off the ground.
Cheers.............Dave

[Deadly GU]

nice pictures deadly, looks pretty dry in those pictures!! i thought gladstones is getting heaps of rain
Good water run off?? We had about 60-70mm about a week ago, but not to much for a few weeks before that.

Thanks Boof, yeah i've had a few people ask me which company I bought it from, when I've told them i bought it off the the bloke who made it , they reckon he should go into buisness making them.

Well just got back from the 4wd & Tinnie show in Brisbane. Picked up a few new things:- Roll out awning , fridge slide, another winch dampner, Staun massojet, and a few other bits and pieces. Will post up some pics when all mounted during the week, then it's off to Woodgate for 4 days pf camping over the Mayday weekend:thumb:

[Deadly GU]

Spent the weekend camping at Woodgate ( just south of Bunderburg ) with a few friends, checking out a few of the tracks round there, doing abit of fishing ( & catching nothing , although 1 friend caught a baby shovel nose shark) & generally relaxing. Here are couple of photo's of the sun rising on the 1st morning & of my new awing & fridge slide.

[bop smoo]

mate i will give you $330 for the rack and awning...as a package deal.
Looks good Dave,must nearly be ready for the big trip

[Deadly GU]

Hey Dan, Let me think about that offer......................That would be NO:D :D
Yeah, just about ready, only a couple of small things left to do, but basically just waiting for the departure date to arrive now.

[boof]

Looking really well set up now mate nice stuff.

[Luxxxy]

What can I say Dave, the truck is lookin' really good. Glad you had nice weather for the trip also.

[Deadly GU]

Thanks guy's. Yeah the weather was perfect, couldn't ask for any better. Would have been nice if the fish were biting, but hey, beer fixed that problem:D :D :D

[Deadly GU]

Here's afew more photo's from last weekend. Dam it was hard to pack up & come home to go back to work the next day:crazy:

[Deadly GU]

Thinking about putting a Beaudesert Exhuast system on. It's a 2 3/4" from the turbo back, all mandrell bent. Has anyone got one of these systems, & what are they like, do they make a fair bit of difference???
Cheers...................Dave

[Celt's]

Looks like a great spot to camp mate, & i have only heard good things about the Beaudesert setups.

Small update........ordered a Beaudesert Exhaust system this morning, will pick it up when i'm in Brisbane on the June long weekend:thumb: :thumb:

[Luxxxy]

[Deadly GU]

Yeah it is a pitty i wont have it for that weekend :( . Will just have to drop in on the way home from Brisbane when i go down a couple of weeks after LCMP:thumb:

[Steggz]

Should sounds awsome fella, mine zurst is about to rust off, hahaha, lokin' at gettin' a 2.5 in cat back system. but yours should give the turbo a bit more flow.

[Deadly GU]

Thanks mate, hope so, but sound isn't the only reason ( although that is cool:D :D ) it's more the fact that they say it'll spool up quicker & get rid of most of the turbo lag:thumb: :thumb:

[Luxxxy]

With an offer like that, how can i refuse??:D

[Deadly GU]

Another update. Started making a shelf to go over my fridge ( now that i have a slide:D ). Just needs tiding up. Off to Bunnings to get some carpet to cover it, & maybe some mesh to put in the cut outs.

[Celt's]

Looking the goods mate!;)

[Deadly GU]

Thanks Celts.
It's all painted & carpeted now, just got to mount it now............that'll be 1 of tomorrows jobs:D :D

[Deadly GU]

Well the shelf over the fridge is finshed & mounted.Ended up using aluminium fly screen in the cut outs. While i was at it , I recovered the draws, put new handles & latches on them as well. This was my first attempt at recovering with carpet, what a bugger of a job:crazy: , but turned out all right in the end:thumb:

[Celt's]

Great job mate, looks like you've done it a 1000 times! ;)

[Deadly GU]

Great job mate, looks like you've done it a 1000 times! ;)
Thanks mate, don't look to close though...........the carpet laying is alittle bit rough in a couple of places, but overall not to bad for a 1st effort.
Will catch up with you next weekend at LCMP, i'll be going down with Luxxxy:thumb: :D

[utedriver]

Nice work good to see a bit of DIY!!

[Luxxxy]

Again, very handy work Dave, will it be in by this Thursday?

Thanks mate. Yeah, i like to have a go at making most things myself, saves a bit of $$ aswell, although this time i did have a mate help me, he cut the basic shape out of the plywood for me, i did the cutouts with a jigsaw.

[Deadly GU]

Again, very handy work Dave, will it be in by this Thursday?
Yeah Skye, sure will be, actually i mounted it yesterday arvo:thumb:
Catch up with you on thursday, will bring down some cold:drink: :drink: aswell

[Deadly GU]

Just going through some of my photo's & found this pic of the Patrol with the black sunnies & before the front & rear bars where changed. The sunnies will be going back on for my trip up to the cape, as they have a wider track than my alloys. The other pic is the boost guage I fitted awhile ago.

[JCAS24]

I love this troll, looks the goods with the sunnies & awesome colour too.

[Fuzz_Man]

Looks good with the black rims man...


Im thinking of painting mine black today but dunno!!!

Thanks mate. Just do ut , you won't regret it.:thumb: Here's a pic of what my factory rims look like painted black with a gold centre.

[Deadly GU]

I havn't been entiley happy with my rear bar, so i've just finished designing a new 1:crazy: that i hope will be stronger, lighter & a dam sight easier to make .............so stay tuned. Wheather or not i have it finished before i go to the Cape is another story:D

[patrol4500]

Hey Dave, Whats wrong with the first bar you made? Let me know if you want to get rid of it mate, it will at least save me making one, and get that heavy spare off my rear door sooner rather than later. Freight to Tas could be a killer, but let me know if interested mate.
Your Patrol is lookin real good mate, she's coming along nicely, well set up for touring and should be very comfy. I am still thinkin of getting rid of the alloys and going with black rims on mine, i think i need a black bullbar to go with it though, where does it end :D.

Cheers, Dan

Hey Dan, yeah mate there's nothing really wrong with the 1st bar, i'm just being a bit picky i suppose, just going to do things a different way, hopefully a bit lighter. The 1st bar may go up for sale when the new 1's finished.....not sure yet. Why not keep the alloys & get aset of black sunny's:D My sunny's run 'Cruiser offset which gives me a wider track, so will be abit more stable when the roof rack & gear is on.
No mate, once you start , it takes awhile for it to end:D
Cheers...........Dave

[patrol4500]

If you decide to sell it mate, let me know. I could keep the alloys and get sunnies too, but really have no where to keep em all when not on the car, so it's one or the other for me unfortunately.

Cheers, Dan.

Yeah i used to have the same problem with storage, till i got my 6x3m garden shed, now it's full & under the house is still full aswell:crazy: :crazy:

[patrol4500]

yeah it's a bummer, i have a 6m x 3m shed as well, but thats all set up as a small workshop, full of tools and stuff, i have been renovating for the past 5 or 6 years, so have accumulated alot of tools and stuff, also gives me a place to go and get away from the handbrake, light the woodheater and have a couple of beers, so can't fill it up too much more. My other shed is about 2m x 2m and houses all the garden, boating and camping stuff, so is pretty full too, i spose i could stash em under the back deck, but that's fast filling up as well :D.

Cheers, Dan.

Geez, sounds like you need to rent some storage space regardless mate;)

[patrol4500]

Hey Celts, Nah its all cool Mate, it's really not too bad, i have a fair bit of timber, old windows, roofing iron, etc. stashed away from building around the house (additions and demolitions) that i like to hold onto as you never know when it could come in handy. When it gets out of hand i just back the trailer in and have a big cleanup, I probably do that once a year, and it's all good again :D

Cheers, Dan.

There you go Dan , you could use that timber & stuff stashed away to build anther shed:D

[patrol4500]

There you go Dan , you could use that timber & stuff stashed away to build anther shed:D

The thought has crossed my mind Dave :D

[Deadly GU]

Well it's only 6 weeks until i go to the Cape:thumb: . About the only thing left to sort out is water storage. Went to a couple of 4wd shops in Rocky yesterday to get some info. Tossing up between a 55ltr Flexi Tank water bladder or a poly water tank. Was wondering what peoples opinions are on these???

[Luxxxy]

Maybe another cheaper option Dave, now that you have the roof rack, is a couple of lengths of 100dia PVC pipe with ends and a couple of taps plumbed into each end. You could attach these to either side of the rack. Up out of the way from stray rocks as well. Just an idea

[Deadly GU]

Yeah had thought of that Skye, but don't want to put that much extra weight up high. The tanks i'm looking at go between my draws & back seat.

[Celt's]

The flexi bladders seem to be a great idea when it comes to usage of limited space but how easy it it to get the last few ltrs out? do they drain as well as a hard/poly tank would?

It would be a personal choice i guess & a Q of available space also. Those flexi tanks can be used in the rear footwell also so maybe 1 there & a poly in the rear could be a good option, you can never have too much drinking water where your going surely!!!;)

Hey Celts, yeah, yeah not sure how easy it is to drain the last couple of ltr's out, but I have a small 12v bilge pump that may help. The poly tank i'm looking at has a built in pump, which is pretty handy. As for space, the bladder will fit perfectly on the floor between the deaws & the back of the rear seat, whereas the tank will fit there just as well, but stick up a bit.
And yes, your right , you can never have to much water. There will also be other water containers in the car aswell in case something happens to the main one.

[Luxxxy]

Sound like you have things planned and are ready to roll

[Deadly GU]

Just about, other than the water tank/bladder, it's just a couple of small things now. Not long to go now:D :D

[Deadly GU]

While in Brisbane on the weekend, went and picked up my new Beaudesert Exhaust system kit. Will hopefully be fitting it up this weekend:thumb:

[Deadly GU]

HELP..........does anyone know of an easy way to remove the heat sheild fron around the turbo on the 3ltr's??:confused: :crazy:

[olly]

Hey Deadly, not sure on the heat sheild removal, but I'm interested to know how your truck goes with the new exhaust. I rang Beaudesert Exhausts and got a quote, seems a resonable price. Just curious as to what sort of a difference it'll make before I commit funds. I bet you can't wait for the trip, not long to go now...

Cheers

[Deadly GU]

Looking forward to hearing what you think of the exhaust mate.
So am I :D . They said on average it should give me 10% more power& 10-15% beter fuel economy:thumb:

[Deadly GU]

Small update:- Fitted up the new exhaust system this morning, only took me about 2 1/2 hrs to pull the old one out & fit the new one in. Have only taken it for a drive round town after I fitted it, but has made a huge difference, spools up a lot quicker, seems to have lost most of the turbo lag. :thumb:
While i was going , I fitted an oil catch can I picked up from SuperCheap yesterday, so we'll see how much of a difference that makes.

[GU'NIT-Patrol!]

NICE JOB!. I will call craig for these part on monday.

But one thing, Do you lose your fuel ecconomy? Or is it alot better?
I don't know how to understand the muffler part out of the whole engine.

Cheers, Nice job!

[Deadly GU]

Top stuff dave, maybe take off that huge baffle tank on the exhaust to get a nice note from the exhaust hehehe
Yeah thought about that Skye, but they reckon it's all part of the complete package, & it works better with the muffler on. May get it modified down the track so i can run it with or without the muffler to test the theory out.:D :crazy:

[Deadly GU]

hey mate, nice looking rig! can you show me what lines you used fotting your catch can! i wanted to do the same!

cheers
Thanks mate. It's not the best pic, but it's the hose that comes from breather on top of the engine (I'm pretty sure it's for the crank case breather) & goes into the hose that comes from the air filter box to the turbo. The original hose is only about 200mm long. You have to take the plastic cover of the intercooler ( on 3ltrs) to get to the fitting on top of the motor. It's not a hard job to do, just a bit time consuming.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.......Dave

[Deadly GU]

Well the back end of the Patrol is down to it's undies again. This morning I pulled the rear bar off to do some bracing & some tiding up that I wasn't happy with the 1st time. I'm still going to make another 1 when I come back from the Cape ( which I leave for in 4 weeks time ) , just don't have time to buld another 1 before I go:crazy:
It's all welded, braced & puttied up ( again) . Will probably start sanding tomorrow after work, readied to be painted on friday.

[Troy_GU]

looking good mate! will be interesting to hear the feedback from how your exhaust goes. the cape will be a good run for the patrol!

[Deadly GU]

Thanks mate. Yeah the Cape will be a good run for the Patrol, will certainly test everything out on it. Will give feedback on the new exhaust as I go, already it feels so much better, but that is only driving it round town so far.

[99disco]

gday mate nice looking nissan im looking at buying one myself just wondering whats the reason behind fitting the catch can have seen alot with them on but not sure why

[Celt's]

Are you going up & back along the same tracks mate, or are you doing the inland up coast back or vice-versa

[Deadly GU]

gday mate nice looking nissan im looking at buying one myself just wondering whats the reason behind fitting the catch can have seen alot with them on but not sure why
Thanks mate. The idea behind the catch can is to try to stop the oil from the crank case breather (that goes back into the air intake between the air box & turbo) going into the turbo & into the intercooler.
Cheers............Dave

[Deadly GU]

Are you going up & back along the same tracks mate, or are you doing the inland up coast back or vice-versa
Hey Matt, yeah going up the Bypass track ( want to go to Capt. Billy's Landing) & back along the OTL. Going into Cooktown on the way back & doing the coastal road from there to Cairns.:thumb:

Here are some getter pic's for where the hose's run for the catch can. They are the ones with the hose clamps on them. it comes from the top or the motor, goes into the can, then out & into the air intake.

[Luxxxy]

How much did you pay for your can Dave? I went to Supercheap and they wanted $60!!!

[Deadly GU]

How much did you pay for your can Dave? I went to Supercheap and they wanted $60!!!
HOLY CRAP Skye,:crazy: no , i only paid $25 for it ( it was on special though, but i think it was only about $35 normally). It a MONZA brand.

[Deadly GU]

Here is 1 of the 2 air tanks i'm going to put under the car. Should make it a bit quicker to air up the tyres:thumb: Just got to finish off the mounts & paint it, then do the second tank.
P.S. my 55ltr water bladder finally arrive at ARB in Rocky, so going for a quick trip to Rocky tomorrow to pic it up.
