Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Other than a bit of game driving, I'm using the solar panels on the Patrol to charge the other batteries I have lying around, instead of using the trickle charger, because why not.

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
So I got a little bit bored....
Painted all the mags with Duram 88, and the Patrol was sitting so high on the ramps that I could sit up underneath the front part, so I started painting the bottom of the Patrol with the Duram, I currently have a very clean black Patrol underneath
Did not paint the stuff that gets warm - I hope. Then sprayed all the rubbers underneath with silicone.
Polished one half so far, will do the other half tomorrow, have to pace myself

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
I also just spent the last 2 days with the troll on ramps and washed the entire undercarriage. Was a big job because I'm embarrassed to say I've neglected to do it for a while even after the rains stopped here. It cleans up pretty well for a 15 year old car. I also have a tin of Duram in my workshop ..... swambo is going to be cross when I start another patrol project that keeps me in the workshop all dayoffroadbiker wrote: ↑08 Apr 2020 14:33 So I got a little bit bored....

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
The dirt stains on the gearbox and transfer case is tough stuff. Not even degreaser helped... I'm determined to get them shining g though. Nice to see that there are no oil leaks anywhere

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Definitely will not let my patrol see those pics, he might expect the same. What I can't see, I don't know about. And luckily the bash plate, diff protector and transfer case protector from Mr Connan are all new so, I assume its looking fancy under there
