remote diff locks suck..... just not strong enough. just got them permantly locked front
and rear. cant wait to get dig and rear steer. put a few holes in tyres and now they grip so much better. bags out on rocks and graps onto them

built a rock course in shed. fridge and tunes is in very handy reach
easier and cheaper to fix the creeper than the patrol
but not as much fun. a patrol body for it would be awesome

if someone knows where i can get one let me know

well im running no sway bars at all at the moment. due to the factory sway bar disconnect
i need a mod done to allow that to be re insatlled and for it to allow full flex when disconnected
modification for front drive shaft clearance was also done.

my upper rear trailing arm hits my aux fuel tank and doesnt allow full drop on that side so i will have to get a bent one made up to suit.

does ride better than it did before even with no sway bars. just cant drive it like i stole it.lol.

yeah they tripped me out for awhile. i looked at it in the manual and still i diddnt get it.
few months down the track i figured out that when i indicate left or right with the lights on the corresponding light would turn on.then turn off when the indicator goes off.

throws a bit of light aswell.seen a few gqs with them. maybe only on ti or later year models. i dont think gus have them.

only bad thing is now with the lift, they sit at eye height in normal cars. so when its 2 lanes turning left or right and i start indicating it freaks them out.lol.did it to a undercover cop car, got pulled over. said it was stock. he made a phone call and off i went.some rookie. diddnt say anything bout the lift.:doh:

nice looking truck mate, will def keep an eye out for ya, got a few mates up and around the valley view area
